That 80s Show SA

Paulo's voice started going AWOL, Dori's internet followed suit but we somehow prevailed and got back to the 80s. Looking for an AirBnB fit for an 80s fan? It's here, but we have some suggestions. Dori celebrates William Hurt's career with in an altered state and Paulo needs you to lock away your mommas!! We take a listen to the Heritagechart.co.za and find new music from UB40, Chesney Hawkes, The...

We're back from the 90s after a week's Buffalo-clad sojourn with Haddaway and Dori admits she has FOMO. Which raises the question can FOMO after you're missed out? We then get into two movies that are so bad they're brilliant and Paulo plays Dori the new NKOTB song - featuring Dori's all-time favourite. Part 1: Haddaway recap. Part 2: Movie recommendations. Part 3: New Kids on the Block are back....

Bop your head, Night at The Roxbury style - Haddaway is in studio with Paulo and Barret. Dr Alban, David Bowie, touring, playing trumpet at age 5, Denniz Pop, army life, The Klitschko Brothers, SNL, an acapella rendition of Air Supply, Dr Dre, Eminem and gold plated toilet paper. It all happened in 1 hour with our friend Haddy!! It's our fist in-studio show in 2 years and its soooooooo 90s!!

The best 80s show since last week's show, Paulo and Dori tie up a loose end and find out the names of Tom Selleck's kids. Movie recommendations also have a Tom Selleck flavour just before we find out what magic chart savantary Barret has for us. Just before we sign off we find another 80s thing we want to buy and go out a bang by introducing you to Thod Georgiev. Who? Listen to find out. Part 1: T...

Tom Cruise is in South Africa and we have the most reliable and up-to-date, "Heard from a friend who knows someone whose friend heard it from a guy who is on a whatsapp group with someone'' information!!! We commemorate the career of Ivan Reitman who gave us so many 80s movies classics - and Legal Eagles. Plus we go shopping on the georgemichael.com store and it looks like ANOTHER Delorean is in t...

What connects Tom Selleck's imaginary son, a John Ritter movie and the Alien Xenomorph costume? According to Paulo and Dori - it starts with "P'' ends with ''orn'' and is not Popcorn. We also ask what do you call a Hoverboard that doesn't hover? Try to act surprised that a Bill Cosby intervention ended with a promising medical student in a nudie mag and suspect that we have an imposter in our mids...

Paulo and Barret are in charge of your nostalgia dopamine hit this week.  Weekend at Bernie's comes to life...and Andrew Mcarthy has the best response ever.

Part 2: Top facts from the biggest 80s movies. Part 3: L...

You know an artist is a Hall of Famer when you can only refer to him as Mr Sayer. Barret spent some time with Leo Sayer who celebrates his 50th anniversary in the music business. They go way back to where it all began, get the inside story behind ''Thunder in my heart'' and it's 2006 re-mix, Barret and Mr Sayer gush over vinyls aswell as hear about Leo's affection for SOuth Africa. Leo Sayer celeb...

If we ended the show after the nuts story about the Taliban ordering off-brand Deloreans we would have had a dynamite show. But we carried on and reverted back to our normal standards. We also give a masked singer update and wonder if Rick Astley is double bluffing his double bluff...would he give himself up? He's no stranger to it. Plus movie recommendations, a Jason Bateman update and the reason...

Paulo is convinced that the internet is trolling him with a deepfake of Modern Talking doing a cover of Last Christmas. No records exist - the Scooby Gang are on the case. Listen to the song here when we tell you to: https://youtu.be/mvzjQhUaf5s Dori ponders an alternate TV universe where Cobra Kai is good and Betty White was one of the Designing Women - and then cover your mirrors and dim the lig...

Part 1: That 80s Show (the mediocre TV show, not the world class internet radio show/podcast hybri...

A podcast from the shadows!! We've always held on to éVoid as our 80s hipster secret. A local band that was as good as anything coming out of anywhere in the 80s. In this episode we spent time with founding member Lucien Windrich.

A Martika song on the playlist leads us to Kids Incorporated and a feeling we were robbed as we never got more than season 1 where we live. Also on the show Paulo talks about Mr T's film career, Debbie Gibson triggers Barret by calling herself Kylie's sister and loads of unnecessary nipple comments. Part 1: Kids Incorporated. Part 2: Movie Recommendations. Part 3: Debbie Gibson chat. Part 4: Watch...

It feels like Paulo and Dori haven't done a show together since the 80s. George and Andrew - actually more like Mel and Kim - are back in attack for this week's edition of That 80s Show. This week saw the 30th anniversary of Freddie MErcury's death and we find some stories to remind us of the enigmatic genius. Part 1: The Body Rap. A toy no one wanted.

When the Chart Savant descends from atop the hill of Top 40 Land and assumes his human form, Dori and Paulo must take advantage of his ethereal presence.

There's a new tv show that fits Paulo's simple viewing criteria. Less than 30 minutes and set in the 80s.
