That 80s Show SA

Presented with the evidence, we change our minds about BandAid40 - that's the power of Christmas...and George Michael appearing on screen with Robbie Williams. We hate all versions of Last Christmas except the original, but Paulo found one that made his palms sweaty. Dori finds 80s Steve Buscemi sexy, Paulo wishes gymnasts wore undies and after watching Sigourney Weaver in Ghostbusters Noël did his best impression of an exploding Stay Puft man...white, sticky stuff etc etc. Plus, we link Grace Jones to the most unlikely place on earth. Dolph Lundgren's nipples quiver with delight. #80s music, #Band Aid, #charity single, #nostalgia, #Phil Collins, #Whitney Houston, #Madonna, #Michael Jackson, #80s culture, #famine relief, #Ethiopia, #Band Aid 40, #Stock Aitken Waterman, #Kylie Minogue, #Cliff Richard, #Jimmy Somerville, #Bono, #lyrics, #generational gap, #charity initiatives, #Robbie Williams, #George Michael, #80s cinema, #Parting Glances, #AIDS crisis, #gay community, #Reagan era, #Steve Buscemi, #Bronski Beat, #Gymkata, #80s action films, #Farrah Fawcett, #Kirk Douglas, #Lady Terminator, #Saturn 3, #Grace Jones, #pop culture, #trivia, #Raiders of the Lost Ark, #The Princess Bride, #Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, #Coming to America, #Dirty Dancing, #Stand By Me, #Top Gun, #Fast Times at Ridgemont High, #The Goonies, #Ghostbusters, #Back to the Future, #Ferris Bueller's Day Off, #Beverly Hills Cop, #Big, #When Harry Met Sally, #Die Hard, #Trading Places, #cultural significance, #impact on music, #legacy, #historical context, #charity efforts, #remakes, #music appreciation, #iconic films, #80s nostalgia, #pop culture references.

Do they know it's inappropriate after all? Band Aid is back for a 40th-anniversary nightmare mash-up. While we love an '80s supergroup, we all know better now—or do we? We uncover what Tim Curry was doing to Freddie Mercury's bushes and explore the meaning behind the lyrics of Karma Chameleon. Spoiler: the phrase “Calmer Chameleon” does not appear anywhere. Dori reminisces about The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show, but all Paulo wants to know is: how does Snoopy poop? Surely, he's above popping a squat in the backyard? Paulo uses sound effects to review the film Lady Terminator. Who knew a dick kick sounded like that? Finally, we share our Christmas wish lists. Dibs on the evil George Michael throw cushion! For a fantastic selection of gifts for the '80s fan in your life, visit Retro Fair. They even have a Batman button just like the one Paulo shoplifted from Woolworths when he was nine.

Whose been kissing Madonna's brother? It's a Careless Whisper and the only living person would never admit to being jilted. An 80s frontman takes a swing at Taylor Swift. We do not want to be his social media manager right now. Did we brainstorm a more interesting Flash Gordon remake and Dori has been flirting with other 80s podcasts. When she realises how few awards they've won, she'll be back. Remember the TV Show, Adderley? Raise your left-hand if you do. Paulo found a hidden Sly Stallone gem that has it all - Billy Dee Williams, Rutger Hauer, Sly dressed as a little old lady. Someone needs to take the internet away from him. Finally, how did the Toy Hall of Fame (yes, a real thing) bring up Paulo's child-hood trauma? Find out at the end of the show. And it's a lot more interesting than playing with sand.

Lost-core meets Hardcore as Paulo and Dori tie up a loose end from a past show. Two mysterious ‘’80s’’ songs appeared on the internet and the sleuths got to work. Sleuths and pervs. Halloween costumes got us having odd thoughts about E.T. as well as Roger and Jessica Rabbit’s children! Humans with rabbit ears or rabbits with human ears?!? Paulo hasn’t slept since. Dori confused the internet with her movie recommendation and Paulo just confused himself. When a main stream movie couldn’t get a lead actress due to the amount of full frontal nudity and a person on set focused on making a merkin - you know you have our interest. What 80s song would your drunk uncle dance to at your wedding? We find out thanks to Spotify and Mr T had TWO shows in the 80s where his character is jailed for a crime he didn’t commit, so if you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him, maybe you need a bowtie. Dori beats Paulo in an 80s quiz and sucks his life force….out his mouth!
