Blame it on the Menendez Brothers | The Seinfeld Cast in the 80s | How an obvious cult inspired Footloose

Loading player...
Milli Vanilli are back in the charts for the first time in over 30 years, and you gotta blame it on something.

In less murderous brother news - Paulo reveals the names of the little dinosaurs from Bubble Bobble which prompts us to try to name their girlfriends with sub-par results.

What were the Seinfeld cast up to in the 80s just before they became mega-stars, and Paulo thought Cheetara was the only scantily-clad, cat-like humanoid he had eyes for...until he watched Rock and Rule.

To wrap up we wonder how Tiffany is going to imagine her 80s hits and realise that a cult may have inspired Footloose.
