That 80s Show SA

The show kicks off with misheard Duran Duran lyrics, explained by Simon Le Bon. We then go 80s shopping at Aldi which makes us wonder what was the use of soap on a rope. Paulo was watching Baywatch wrong if he remembers where The Hoffs nipples were and Chesney Hawkes is now the England football team's lucky mascot - The Celeb Savant has already congratulated him and got a smiley face in return. Do...

We open the show with a story from the 80s that involves Woody Harrelson, Michael J Fox and viper poison. Shouldn't every show start that way? We start a Twitter war with a mother of 3 teenagers over Quantum Leap, Alyssa Milano shows us why she's The Boss, our movie recommendations go to battle for the longest title and the least interest and we come up with cover band names. Finally, another 80s...

Christopher Lloyd has been a big tease but the De Lorean is now out the garage and Paulo want's EVERYTHING from www.backtothefuture.shop. Dori has a not very Serious movie recommendation so you know next week she's coming back with full frontal art house, while Paulo relives video shop trauma.  But honestly when last did you think of Yahoo Serious. The Celeb Savant has been running just as fa...

For a show about the 1980's we veered very close to the 1880's with Dori's very old books. Not even the very old book store wants them...any takers? Dori was so distraught by the whole thing she looked for solace in the #QuantumLeap Reeboot, only to be disappointed by a dodgy space man.  We also review a weird movie, a movie with a talking horse and go Christmas shopping for the John Hughes M...

This week, Paulo and Dori discover Tony Danza’s one man show – finally he’s the boss. Dori makes a hair raising Andre Agassi discovery and Rob from Milli Vanilli is lip syncing again. Our movie recommendations go from Heavenly to Hellish and Julia Louis-Dreyfus made the right choice focusing on TV instead of film. Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook. WE'RE...

Paulo and Dori look back the The USA Today newspaper from 21 October 2015 - well that day from #BTTF2 - to find out what future the best movie in that series predicted. Dori revisits ''Whose the Boss'', a show that made Paulo wonder if he should follow a career in either advertising or housekeeping. We then try un-cancel Bill Murray. We meet a Cosplay George Michael, hear about a distraught Grace...

After delving into Dori's Chippendale multi-media content, Paulo's algorithms think he's a mid-80s housewife. We find out about Marty and Doc's reunion at NYC Comicon and it makes Dori sad. To cheer herself up she watched a Sting movie that should have starred Johnny Rotten. Fun day. The Chart Savant joins us for his chart game and it gives Paulo a chance to display the finest sleuthing since Ange...

40% of adults admit to leaving something sticky on the walls of the rooms they spent their teenage years in - and it has a lot to do with Kylie Minogue and Andre Agassi. Dori claims to have no interest in The Chippendales - but she suuuure knows all about them.  Paulo links a ridiculous show from the 80s with an even more outrageous one from the 90s. (Spoiler alert, the one from the 90s featu...

Welcome to a show that starts with a Bon Jovi misheard lyric and ends with a Wham! misdirection. In between  we ask if Jeffrey Dahmer's stepmom is prettier in pink, will Sam Beckett's appearance in the Quantum Leap reboot be a tax write-off and is Estelle Getty the most cancellable person of the 80s? Plus find out which movie Paulo thought was a Garbage Pail Kids sequel. Everything we discuss...

No one has been in a Village People rabbit hole for a while - so we head down one - especially their outrageous flop of a New Wave period. Dori's movie puts some more degrees of seperation between Kevin Bacon and bachelorhood while Paulo recommends a movie with the best version of the devil ever!! Plus is Wake me up before you go go a pun? We still don't know. Everything we discuss in this show ca...

It finally happened, an 80s reboot we missed - so we jump into the Quantum Leap follow-up and find out what it's got to do with a Ghostbuster. Courteney Cox makes a return talking about her downstairs friends, 30 years apart and Dori visits the Otherworld. Paulo then reviews the movie that inspired The Razzies and thinks he found the best 80s film ever. Everything we discuss in this show can be fo...

Paulo tells Dori that bachelor parties aren't that interesting even though he met Parys Hilton on his. We get into biopics on Milli Vanilli and Weird Al and hope that legal wrangles never lead to a remake of the Neverending Story. Plus Lewis Capaldi heads to Club Tropicana but where is Andrew? Maybe he's hiding in Paulo's ticky box. Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA...

It's another episode of That 80s Show, and it is the 80's distilled, run through a charcoal filter, then run through a 2nd distillation to remove any 70's & 90's impurities, leaving only the concentrated 80's with delicate woodsy overtones and hints of plum. Paulo and Dori want to know what the girls in Botswana do and then they find two Deloreans in the Eastern Cape - who wants one? Ever wond...

She-Hulk 2022 has memes, GIFS and an emoji. She-Hulk of the 80s had Brigitte Nielsen. We still prefer Lou Ferrigno in a wig. Plus Paulo discovers an Italo-Disco documentary and will be unavailable for an hour.  We reroute from the 80s to discuss Trainwreck: Woodstock 99 but get it back into the decade we love with Bette Midler, Lily Tomlin, Al Bundy and all the stories from Polk High. Everyth...

Would you buy insurance from Rick Astley?  He ticks all the boxes, won't give you up or let you down. Ok the, would you buy insurance from long-haired Rick Astley - Dori would after she watches the new AAA insurance ad with it's own spin on his 80s hit. We also discuss remakes of Roadhouse with Conor McGregor, Working Girl with Selena Gomez and a Ferris Bueller spin-off featuring two guys bes...

What if Artificial Intelligence created 80s movies? Judging by the posters, The 3 Amigos would be a veeeeeery different movie.  In this week's episode we also look at a series so 80s, you won't believe it's not 80s, have a drink with Dudley Moore and find out that there's a Japanese version of ''Holding out for a hero''. That discovery has nothing to do with the drink. Can Paulo get Dori to f...

Paulo and Dori celebrate Olivia Newton John's life and of course Dori's yellow Sony walk-man is part of the story.  The team then get into the Max Headroom Incident, a bizarre hacking story from 1987 that no one has claimed responsibility for to this day! As usual we have movie recommendations that definitely include a naked Julia Louis-Dreyfus and may include a nude Hugh Grant. We wrap up wi...

Fire up The Miami Sound Machine because the 80s are gonna get ya!! Dori and Paulo realise why Goose looked so familiar and vengeful. Life imitates art, literally, as we find out what a dick the big bad in Ghostbusters 2 was while our movie recommendations are only similar in the fact that they're movies.
