Episodes
Paulo faces his FOMO and asks Dori how the OMD concert was. His FOMO worsened. We ask how many members of an 80s band need to tour for it to still be THAT version of the band, and wonder if the short sleeved shirt with a tie is the clothing version of a mullet...business in the front, party down the sides. Would you sleep in Prince's bed? Does Ringo Starr make a believable caveman? Do we get (almost) full marks for the lyrics quiz? It's That 80s Show and it's made for your...

This town ain't big enough for two Karate Kids, but with the amount of bullies around in 80s movies - maybe we need them both. Over 90% of cars in Norway are electric vehicles, find out how A-Ha are responsible. Dori presents a monster of a movie while Paulo is fascinated with the way Jeff Bridges uses his balls. Rick Astley hates ''Never gonna give you up” and we're starting to hate the 80s song lyric quiz. For everything discussed in this show, join us on That 80s Show SA on Facebook.

We look back at OJ Simpson's 80s ''movie'' career. He could have been the Terminator but instead...well, that joke is even beneath us. Science says 80s music was better, Dori misses the Vietnam War and Paulo was tricked by Condorman. We wonder if This is Spinal Tap 2 will turn it up to 12, while the NeverEnding Story remakes give us a sinking feeling. Has anyone asked what Limahl thinks?

Beatboxing for Simon Cowell, opening for Nirvana and a 1 -man stage show - we find out what the cast of Police Academy got up to when they handed in their badges. Dori recommends a movie-not-movie that starred Don Johnson, Giancarlo Esposito, Lori Singer, Sandahl Bergman, Luiz Guzman, David Carradine and Willie Nelson - that wasn't a movie at all. Another round of ''Guess the 80s song by the first line'' that includes a brutal Rick Roll.

Paulo and Dori will not let a lack of musical ability stop them from rising up the 80s charts as AI and Dolph Lundgren's nipples, come to the rescue. We'd only buy a Thundercats Lego playset if they fully leaned into ''Thundercats Leg-ho'' and Mickey Mouse shows up in the last 80s sitcom you'd expect. If you haven't already - give us a like on That 80s Show SA on Facebook.

Dori tasted a drink from the 80s and was let down, while Paulo wants an 80s inspired beer - even if it is cotton candy flavoured. Mr T. Loves his Momma, doesn't love spelling. Our movie recommendations ask what happened to the kid from ET and imagine what it's like being self-impregnated through thoughts of a bearded Dennis Quaid. We go back to look at some 80s porn disguised as cologne ads and play another round of ''Guess the 80s song by the first line''.

Dori and Paulo were duped by A.I. until they started counting the fingers. Art is in the eye of the beholder especially when it's a re-creation of a video store. Which 80s Lego set would you buy? A Miami Vice one? Golden Girls or Who's The Boss? Or maybe you just want a Whoopi mini-fig. Madonna's State to State Tour of Hate continues and another round of Guess the 80s Song by The First Line.

Before he heads off to Dublin, a city where the streets have no drains, Young Ryan joins Paulo and Dori to kind of remember the 80s - but he confused alot with the 90s. We discuss the controversy around the George Michael commemorative coin, imagine what Thomas Anders spices taste like and uncover a forgotten Michael J. Fox movie. The discovery theme continues when we explore 80s LostCore - the genre of music where no one knows the artist and play another round of, ''Guess the 80s song...

Dori has better friends than Paulo and she rubs it in his face by reviewing Deacon Blue in concert.  Paulo wants to create a George Michael economy which leads to possibly the best discovery in the history of this show. Paulo names so many sex tapes which prompts Dori to talk about Saltburn - possibly the name of a sex tape.  Are we about to get a hologram remake of ‘’Do they know it’s Christmas’’? Is Madonna nicer to her dancers than Lizzo? Can you name an 80s song by the first line...

The Celeb Savant is in the house and like his 80s viewing recommendation, he's going to rock it! We catch up and hear the stories that his event-porn social media posts can't begin to tell us. Paulo talks about the best action movie you've never seen and we share some 80s jokes that may need a little bit of explaining.

Most people were watching for Taylor Swift, Paulo was there for Mr. T, so how did the 80s do at the Super Bowl? A few weeks ago we argued that Pauly Shore SHOULD play Richard Simmons, but after seeing his pitch movie - we’re not so sure. Corey + Corey = Cautionary Story and can you guess the 80s song from the first line?

A documentary about the greatest (American) charity supergroup was released this week, so we're gonna be all over it. How did, ''We are the world'' come about? All is revealed - and as a bonus we even tell you why Dan Ackroyd was there. A segment that was meant to shit on a Heidi Klum cover song took a surprising turn and we look at the rampant corruption-bot called Jessica Fletcher.

Dori has a problem with acronyms and it made Paulo LOL. Which 80s sex symbol has just been arrested and is Pauly Shore an Oscar winner in waiting? The A-Team remake made Paulo nostalgic and somehow Boy George is involved. Finally Paulo & Dori & Associates defend Madonna against sniffly little baby people who missed their bed time. And yes, we go to court playing the LA Law theme song. Give us a follow on Facebook - That 80s Show SA - or follow us when you see us in...

We start in the 90s as Paulo recaps the 100% Retro concert. Trust us, no Jam was left Unpumped!! It got us wondering which 80s bands were still touring, and some really shouldn’t be.  On the back of the new Beverly Hills Cop we ask, ‘’Which 80s sequels do you want to see?’’. Dori has a lethal movie recommendation while Paulo brings us a John Ritter movie, and some other movies to keep it company. Please follow us on That 80s Show SA on Facebook for all of this episodes content and...

The first episode of 2024 which is certainly not 24 years away from the 80s. We recap Wham!'s rise to Number 1, wonder if Andrew Ridgeley is a time traveller and rue not being RickRolled by Rick himself. Paulo and Dori watched so many 80s things over the holidays - one of which reminded Paulo of the ''gang'' which terrorised his local mall. Finally some factoids we've been accumulating since our last show, including an innocuous reason to talk about Alyssa Milano.

What if you could take out 7000 Wham!ageddon playing heathens with the click of 1 play button? Dj Matty did and he deserves a Knighthood. We visit the Wham! online store and put together our Xmas list, Dori reminds Paulo of the movie, ''Falling Down'', Paulo warns Dori against watching, "Elves'' and we remedy the lack of regular Barry Manilow updates.

Your favourite 80s podcasts brings you the rules of Reverse Wham!Ageddon - don't even bother playing, Paulo will beat you. Who would win in a fight between Wham! and The Pet Shop Boys? Who will win in the fight between Hall and Oates and who would you back if Calvin took on Hobbs? Plus, The Guardian ranked the Top 20 Stock Aitken Waterman songs of the 80s and 90s and number one will spin you right round.

Power Station likes it hot, Paulo and Dori do not! We needed Richard Dean Anderson to help us MacGyver our aircon, maybe we should have called him by his first name. Paulo compiles a list of his favourite 80s baldies, Dori takes on the 80s Movie Quote Quiz - like Telly Fun Quiz but without a duck - The Karate Kid won't go away and the Stranger Things ''kids'' need to retire.

Rick Astley Rick Rolls misheard lyrics once and for all with a charity version of, ''Never Gonna give you up'' to tackle stigmas around hearing loss. Proving once again that he is the most lovely man ever. Paulo revisits the odd final two seasons of, ''Who's the Boss'' but Dori still doesn't remember watching them. A surprise mention of The Smiths before Paulo brings Dori a movie so outrageous with a plot so porntastic, yet not one single boob is seen in the entire 80 minute run...

You wake up in the late 80s or early 90s - you hear some shuffling in your parent's bedroom - thankfully they're are just getting into some Body Beat. It was the exercise sensation of our childhoods with the soundtrack that has burrowed into our brains, and the man behind it all was Dr. Phil Joffe. We got hold of the Doc to find out the story behind the lycra, how there was a link between the show and Marilyn Monroe, scone hunting in Upington and how he's still keeping people fit...

Paulo and Dori remember a time when ads, were just ads - not dirty little stalkers trying to get you to drink beer. We look back at the 80s sitcoms Matthew Perry guest starred in and are now convinced that we missed a whole season of ''Who's the Boss''. Dori watched a doccie and blamed it on the rain, the 1980s SABC blamed it on Stevie Wonder, Andrew Ridgeley blamed it on Björn Borg and John Stamos could blame it on his hairdresser.

If you were a kid in the 80s and ignored safety advice from Michael J. Fox and both Batemans - did you have the guts to ignore the A-Team? Has a sitcom spin-off ever worked? We find two that definitely didn't.

OMG we’re going to see OMD and we'er a Dilly Dias and a Dilly Dori   Dori and Paulo both have an outrageous tale to tell -  one that involves John Stamos and a sex duvet the other, a killer kiss that led to someone Kevin Baconing, Jason Bateman.   We find more reasons to hate 80s studio execs before wondering how the world went so wrong seeing that we were raised by Michael Knight.   Everything we talk about on this show can be found on That 80s Show SA on Facebook.

Call Corbin Bernsen - That 80s Show are getting into the legal shenanigans behind the Cabbage Patch Kids.
