That 80s Show SA

Ever wondered what happened to that 80s one hit wonder? Be more specific you say? A conversation about Linda Hamilton's Terminator arms reminded Paulo and Dori of the very un-Disney Beauty and the Beast. Who was worse? 80s video store guys or 80s music store guys? The video store guys let Paulo leave with age-restricted movies so they're in the lead. Marisa Tomei in a towel, Andrew Ridgele...

Paulo watched "Still: A Michael J Fox movie," and had all the feelings. So overwhelmed by emotion, he forgot the name of MJF's wife. Paulo is a jerk. But he's a jerk with a new guilty pleasure in "A Town Called Malice." Dori recommends a movie with a message, but of course, we only notice the impractically long cocaine straw and the waterbed, which made Paulo think the...

What would you do if you woke up back in the 80s? Buy Apple stocks and not really do anything different, unless you're Dori, who would change the order in which she kisses her posters in the morning. We also reminisce about the hilarity of 80s Garfield merchandise, wonder if River Phoenix would have had Johnny Depp's career, and imagine a world where Johnny Depp was the star of Big. Everyt...

We open the show with a look back at Tina Turner's career, but being us - we ended up wondering which member of the supergroup USA for Africa would die next. One name ''jumped'' out at us. Paulo reminds Dori of the mini-series V, while she reminds him of Macguyver's best friend. Frank Stallone wouldn't try boxing, so why did Sly sing? And we close off the episode with T...

We promise that we had a running order for this week's show, but once Dori brought up Panburgers we took a very weird detour that Chunged our Wangs. Pac-Man, paint-stripping 80s vinegar, skinny dipping with Jane Fonda, another, more obvious, name for the keytar, Paulo being blocked by Andrew Ridgley and naturally Dolph Lundgren's nipples. And those weren't even the weird things we got...

Come and knock on our door...but not while we're recording!!! It's Three's Company as Barret Edelstein, The Celeb Savant joins Paulo and Dori. He tells us about his tribute interview with Michael Caprio, Olivia Newton-John's publicist and brings another round of Chart Savant to the pod. Before that we talk about the movie, ''Air'' - which Barret walked out of. We al...

How much would you pay for an unopened Betamax? Not as much as Dori would pay for a half-naked David Hasselhoff torpedo boat. Dori brings in a guest for her movie recommendation, ''Society''. Dori has never watched it, Paulo watched one scene and fears this segment may have reached it's natural end. As the world watches the new Michael J. Fox documentary we find out who he date...

We finally have something in common with Brooke Shields - none of us are getting Cruise cake. We count down Europe's celeb encounters, plus Paulo rewatched Robocop and picked up some things he had missed as a kid. All that time watching a guy get shot into meat that he missed the apartheid propaganda. In #PrimeWeek Paulo finds a way to include a Logan Paul mention plus we find out what happene...

It's just another Manic Monday, except it's a Friday, on That 80s Show as Paulo did not pre-read a story about Susanna Hoffs. To be fair to him, he was distracted by the pictures. Dori has never watched Fast Times at Ridgemont High - Paulo thinks he has - or did he just watch ''that''scene 1000s of times? Two 80s Truths and a Lie is back and it involves a Jason Bateman, Yod...

Jason Bateman's hair is more 80s now than it was in the 80s and it bothers Dori. We wonder how Rob Lowe didn't get cancelled, remind ourselves of the pain of a blown TV tube and Paulo watched a movie where Danny DeVito didn't have the worst comb over. George Michael's Sydney mansion has Paulo revealing his bedroom attire and Milly Bobby Brown's engagement to Bon Jovi's son gives your favourite 80s...

Paulo and Dori mishear Dead or Alive lyrics and get spun around by Paul Rudd cosplaying as Pete Burns. Dori's movie recommendation reminds Paulo of Adam Driver's Star Wars nipples which reminds him of Sylvester Stallone's nipples which reminds him of Dolph Lundgren's nipples. Nipples. We finish off with a look at board games based on 80s TV Shows - should have called them all '...

Dori proves she's a real person by joining Paulo in studio but she brought Mick Hucknall with her. We do the dance of joy because Bronson Pinchot is back as Serge in Beverley Hills Cop 4 and then ask, ''Does a Cocaine Bear shit in the woods?''. If Paulo had watched it - he would have known. We discover yet another George Michael documentary and find out about the nightclub that...

Hooray for (80s) Hollywood!! Paulo and Dori revisit Oscars winners from the 80s, reassigning some of the statues and realising that for someone who studied film, Dori hasn't watched that many. Jamie Lee Curtis' win prompted Paulo to go back on her filmography to recommend an 80s movie that involved leotards, vigorous aerobic thrusting and John's mini-Travoltas. Finally 2 80s Truths and a Lie, invo...

A sombre but celebratory start to That 80s Show as Paulo and Dori recount the impact Mark Pilgrim unknowingly had on this show.  @MacAngelZA graciously allowed us to use his fitting tribute to Mark which can be found on these platforms: https://www.instagram.com/macangelza/?hl=en https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5mDDvupuqFHNrhdvaMd_jw/videos https://web.facebook.com/macangelza/?_rdc=1&_r...

There used to be a time when movies set in the 80s were based on historical events, great sporting achievements or rock-star autobiographies. Now they're about admin. Paulo gets very excited about movies based on Tetris and AirJordan, while Dori gets (very) excited about Jae Bae. ******THE LAST OF US SPOILER ALERT******** The latest episode features loads of 80s music, so naturally we dust off our...

No Dori, Now Worry - we've used that before but it just works. The Celeb Savant, Barret Edelstein, joins Paulo on his 80s flashback this week.  They spot an old friend in a Superbowl ad, remind the world of Connie Sellecca, pitch a ''Look whose talking'' spin-off about the sperm from the opening credits and go behind the scenes of a celebrity interview podcast. Everything we discuss in this s...

Paulo and Dori can't wait for ''Still, The Michael J Fox Story'', but in the meantime they get their doccie fill through ''Sr.'' about Robert Downey's dad. Paulo loves Top Gun Maverick and Dori tells him a story he's heard 100 times before - but she adds in a new detail...she met Billy Zane!!! Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook. This podcast originally pl...

This week we give you the Lowe down on Rob's family and Paulo just doesn't understand genetics. A recent air-fryer purchase reminded Paulo of the Ghosts of Kitchen Appliances past and wonders why people in the 80s loved to julienne their veggies. Simon and Simon says in Dori's viewing recommendation and what does Paulo's movie have to do with Ryan Reynolds and a prostate exam. Everything we discus...

Paulo and Dori discuss the most triggering things from ''Welcome to Chippendales'' and it's not what you think. We go LA Law on Yung Gravy. He stole Rick Astley's song - but we want to mediate. Movie reviews take a weird turn and involve the phrase, “His body looks like Morgan Freeman’s face”. Plus the most controversial music videos of the 80s. Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @...

Sometimes you're in a park and a drunk guys starts singing Bon Jovi songs, sometimes that guy isn't even Paulo - and sometimes people sing along. We also veer close to being cancelled by association, go buy a Used Car, ask AI to draw Theo James in Wham! style tiny white shorts and end off with a round of 2 80s truths and a lie - 2 are true, one is nonsense, will Dori pick the right one? Everything...

It was never meant to be an extra-terrestrial show, but hey, who are we to do things like...plan. Dori gives an encyclopedia update, we pick the 3 80s albums we'd take to space with us, we find out what happens when you put a VHS into a wood-chipper and get a Steve Guttenberg update (Mahoneyyyyyyyy). Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook. This podcast origin...

Paulo starts off the year with his favourite new radio station, but Dori reveals that it's not that hip to be a Lewis. There's an investment opportunity not seen since Gordon Gekko met Bud Fox and we're getting in on the ground floor. Dori's movie has a theory about bald men, Paulo's movie ends up in a red speedo and there's a new game to be played called Two 80s Truths and a Lie. Perfect for your...

As customary as going to a snowy cabin with your friends and exchanging longing looks over a decorative brooch, it's That 80s Show Extra Long Christmas Special. We review Andrew Ridgeley's Instagram Live and find out what questions Paulo would ask him if WE ever had the chance to interview. Dori wants VHS hi-tops, we reveal our favourite Christmas Comic Book Annuals and do our best to cover off st...

Dori brings in a guest to help uncover her childhood trauma that may or may not have involved cosmic sluts - but before that we find out why Boy George went to prison - Karma is not only a chameleon, it's also a bitch. We go star spotting on The Love Boat and end off with name suggestions for Tiffany's cook book. Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook. This p...

Bunnies do not get off lightly in this week's show - eaten, boiled and sexually harassed...but not in that order. Dori finds a reason to watch The Guardians of The Galaxy, Paulo wants to visit some 80s houses, a foreboding meme from 2012 and Dori JUUUUUUST missed Tom Cruise...or some botoxed guy in hairpiece. Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook.
