That 80s Show SA

Hop into the Scooby Gang’s Mystery Machine because we're uncovering truths all over the 1980s.First up, the latest from Freddie Mercury’s secret daughter as her tell-all book hits the shelves.Then we dive into the murky world of royalty payments to find out where Cocoon has disappeared to — and why we can no longer see nude 80-year-olds...in that movie atleast.Dori recommends a movie where rich people feel sorry for themselves, while Paulo brings you Roadie — a Meat Loaf-fronted shenanigan fest about sex, drugs, and rock & roll with no sex or drugs.We also find out if Charlie Sheen sat on a pilot’s lap and if Michael Jackson’s patent leather moccasins, were patented.Jump To:Freddie Mercury’s Mystery Daughter Update (00:02:18): https://www.msn.com/en-za/news/other/freddie-mercury-s-secret-daughter-makes-statement/ar-AA1Kd53a?cvid=E22E126BF329436FBC86E835D1AE7CE8&ocid=hpmsn&apiversion=v2&noservercache=1&domshim=1&renderwebcomponents=1&wcseo=1&batchservertelemetry=1&noservertelemetry=1https://www.mid-day.com/amp/sunday-mid-day/article/lesley-ann-jones-new-book-love-freddie-freddie-mercurys-secret-life-makes-a-startling-revelation-23593927Cocoon: The Movie’s Disappearance (00:07:38): https://alexrollinsberg.substack.com/p/damnation-of-memory-the-vanishingWatch Cocoon here: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9ixtwe?utm_source=chatgpt.comNetflix’s The Four Seasons & 80s Movie Origins (00:18:33): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-LdyHyH4MARoadie (1980) Movie 00:25:15): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjntmf3gwcIRoadie Alien Interruptus: https://youtu.be/8LNJ0devJk0?t=6059Charlie Sheen Documentary Highlights (00:33:09): https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/aka-charlie-sheen-most-unforgettable-momentsTwo Truths and a Lie (00:37:05):Michael Jacksons shoe patent: Total Eclipse of the heart origins: https://people.com/bonnie-tyler-reveals-total-eclipse-of-the-heart-originally-written-nosferatu-musical-8407477?utm_source=chatgpt.com#80s #Show, #1980s #pop #culture, #nostalgia, #entertainment, #Freddie #Mercury, #secret #daughter, #controversy, #Mary #Austin, #Bohemian #Rhapsody, #Cocoon, #Steve #Guttenberg, #streaming #mystery, #media #consolidation, #Disney, #Netflix, #The #Four #Seasons, #LGBTQ+ #representation, #This #Is #Spinal #Tap, #cult #classic, #Charlie #Sheen, #Emilio #Estevez, #Apocalypse #Now, #Ferris #Bueller’s #Day #Off, #celebrity #anecdotes, #pop #culture #trivia, #Michael #Jackson, #Prince, #Bonnie #Tyler, #Nosferatu, #VCR #technology, #physical #media, #streaming

Who worked harder this week—Kenny G or Doja Cat’s boob tape? The team at Dori & Dias Private Dicks are on the case—but first, they have to solve the mystery of the 80s concert that could be Rickrolling us.Are Kylie, Rick Astley, Billy Ocean, and—most importantly—Sonia heading to Durban? We get out of our dreams to try and find out.Corey Feldman in dancing with the stars and it's made us hate Zac Efron's brother.Is there such a thing as too much moustache? Doesn’t matter—we find the perfect amount with a review of Matt Houston so deep, we came out smelling like a chaps-wearing Texas oilman.But be warned: the Smirks per Minute are dangerously high.Meanwhile, Paulo has a business opportunity for Dori as Bigmouth Morrissey strikes again.Jump To:Kenny G Trends After Doja Cat VMA Performance (00:00:18): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXDCs3D5iDURumored 'Icons of the 80s' Durban Concert (00:04:58) : https://www.citizen.co.za/highway-mail/news-headlines/2025/09/04/kylie-rick-billy-in-durban-or-is-this-80s-dream-too-good-to-be-true/Corey Feldman on Dancing with the Stars (00:13:00) : https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/corey-feldman-takes-dancing-stars-stage-after-battles-his-dark-hollywood-pastMatt Houston TV Show Review (00:17:56) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLvl4TUTVHgMorrissey Selling The Smiths’ Rights (00:38:00): https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/sep/04/the-musty-whiff-of-a-yard-sale-why-is-morrissey-attempting-to-sell-his-share-of-the-smiths-cataloguehttps://www.morrissey-solo.com/threads/a-soul-for-sale-september-3-2025.154026/#That 80s Show, #podcast, #1980s pop culture, #Kenny G, #Doja Cat, #Video Music Awards, #Icons of the 80s concert, #Durban, #Kylie Minogue, #Billy Ocean, #Rick Astley, #nostalgia, #social media trends, #performance, #80s-style, #fashion, #music industry, #concert skepticism, #Sharks Stadium, #VIP tickets, #music artists, #celebrity gossip, #Facebook, #social media, #ChatGPT, #The Smiths, #Morrissey, #Johnny Marr, #music rights, #band dynamics, #80s television, #Matt Houston, #Aaron Spelling, #mustaches, #TV shows, #classic episodes, #80s humor, #pop culture references, #music discussions, #live performances, #concert announcements, #entertainment news.

A “place for his rifle,” “fighting a dragon,” and “whipping yourself in the river” — none are Urban Dictionary euphemisms; all found their way into this week’s show.Will Paulo and Dori witness a crime before the show is over? They pass the time with some Dutch Golden Girls in The Hague, where nobody knows your name.How do you say kaftan in the Netherlands?Dori saw Lady Chatterley’s Lover, Paulo saw a man’s bum in a bucket — no one won that day.If not for The Hoff’s charisma, we’d have had a very different Knight Rider.

Dori can’t do simple maths, but she’s off the hook because she was distracted by Simon’s Le Bon Bons.Find out about his dramatic ocean rescue—and how it involved a man named Skip.Thomas Anders just loves being Thomas Anders. The only thing he loves more is young Thomas Anders and his over-sized Nora necklace.In our movie recommendations, one film knocked us out, while the other involved monkey spanking - until the monkeys spanked back.Finally, we reminisce about the stores that are no longer with us—and discover where the bodies are buried.Jump To: - Simon Le Bon’s 1985 Yacht Rescue (00:02:08): https://www.aol.com/40-years-ago-today-80s-073010208.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3-6rrU0Ij0  - Thomas Anders’ “Cherokee Highway” (00:15:38):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYdZGb69BGo Movie Review: Raging Bull (00:22:18): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2UKuKxCJqcMatthew Broderick & Project X (00:31:05): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0de66wOE4Y #Simon Le Bon, #Duran Duran, #Fastnet yacht race, #maritime rescue, #Superman movie, #Zorg, #British actor, #age calculations, #40th anniversary, #vintage news report, #dramatic rescue, #yacht capsized, #navy diver, #psychological impact, #Thomas Anders, #Modern Talking, #AI technology, #music video, #Cherokee Highway, #Kevin Smith, #1980s-themed movie, #Raging Bull, #Martin Scorsese, #Robert De Niro, #Joe Pesci, #boxing movie, #true story, #Jake LaMotta, #film school, #Academy Award, #black and white film, #nostalgic imagery, #video stores, #music stores, #CNA, #Look and Listen, #Exclusive Books, #Late Night Als, #Mivami restaurant, #Mike's Kitchens, #pop culture references, #80s references, #classic films, #film recommendations.

This is the one where Paulo and Dori create two great ’80s sitcoms and one movie sequel that definitely would have been rented back in the day.We kick off the show by slapping our Willis during Diff’rent Strokes. Then we assess ’80s sitcom dads and wonder if we’d still be friends after being adopted.Dori’s movie features a computer that really wants to hurt you, while Paulo’s has more baby lotion than plot.Finally, if you got fired as a kid but ended up as Jae Bae – did you really lose?Jump To:Diff’rent Strokes: Willis & Gary Coleman Altercation (00:04:01): https://www.mensjournal.com/entertainment/80s-sitcom-star-todd-bridges-claims-co-stars-dad-tried-to-get-him-fired80s Sitcom Dads: Who Would You Choose?

Paulo feels XXXtra Strong, while Dori can’t believe the price of Chappies.We uncover some of the weirdest sitcoms from the '80s — and surprisingly, none of them carried the bizarre 2-21 age restriction enjoyed by Emmanuelle 1–12.Dori reviews a Shifty podcast, while Paulo finds out what happens when Monty Python, Cheech & Chong, Mel Brooks’ troupe, and David Bowie play pirate dress-up.Finally, Rod Stewart really shouldn’t be allowed near ChatGPT — and The Pogues are definitely going to ruin our Christmas.Jump To: Strangest 80s TV Shows (00:05:11)Nearly Departed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2roa-VT-9URubik the amazing cube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYs_GCy9PRkWhere's Rodney: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDREFBAAcBYHeil Honey I'm home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_T3z5OuiNgTV in Apartheid South Africa (00:15:19): https://youtu.be/xUXXgPKADuk?si=PadjTnXeyZAutXRZPodcast Recommendation: The Rest is Shifty (00:24:42): https://iono.fm/c/9439Mobile Recording Studio & Lloyd Ross (00:30:37): https://www.saha.org.za/shiftyrecords/lloyd_ross_at_work_in_the_shifty_caravan.htmYellowbeard (00:35:43)Trailer: https://youtu.be/3RC69keaDGo?si=wPPKnkoSVhbpji1LBehind the scenes documentary: https://youtu.be/0CNzeAzh288?si=1BNGsFfbWrUX2081Rod Stewart, AI, and Technology Misuse (00:45:26): https://youtube.com/shorts/EgTAewBGzRY?si=ZhJygYM_Rn6VIX_yBBC Radio 2’s Ultimate 80s Duet List (00:48:38): https://www.bbc.com/mediacentre/2025/bbc-radio-2-ultimate-80s-duet-results#80s pop culture, #That 80s Show, #sitcom theme songs, #SportBilly #1980s television, #1980s movies, #nostalgia, #strange TV shows, #short-lived sitcoms, #movie ratings, #censorship, #apartheid South Africa, #Full House, #Cheers, #Growing Pains, #Perfect Strangers, #Three’s Company, #Nearly Departed, #Rubik the Amazing Cube, #Where’s Rodney?, #Hail Honey I’m Home, #Everything 80s podcast, #PG-13 rating, #National Lampoon’s Vacation, #censorship in films, #South African media, #audio work, #nostalgic candies, #tariffs, #inflation, #comedy, #boy bands, #Menudo, #Rodney Dangerfield, #social commentary, #political themes, #racial issues, #South African music history, #Shifty Records, #80s duets, #Philip Bailey, #Phil Collins, #Joe Cocker, #Jennifer Warnes, #David Bowie, #Mick Jagger, #Meatloaf, #Kylie Minogue, #Jason Donovan, #The Communards, #Pet Shop Boys, #Dusty Springfield, #Freddie Mercury, #Montserrat Caballé, #Queen, #David Bowie, #The Pogues, #Kirsty MacColl, #Fairytale of New York, #conspiracy theories, #podcasting, #humor, #cultural reflections.

Linda Hamilton is back on the scene — now we know we're safe. Everyone in the 80s wanted to be held in those Sarah Connor arms.Tomorrowland lost a stage in a fire… and you'll never guess who came to their rescue. The tannies of the 80s are grabbing their Bibles.Dori has a recommendation about nothing, and Paulo is hunting for a movie with an even weirder time travel device.We also realise no one needs a new Rubik's Cube, Paulo uncovers a new fetish, and The Hoff will forever be the most-watched man on TV.Jump To: Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s Passing (00:06:13): https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/21/entertainment/malcolm-jamal-warner-deathTomorrowland Stage Fire (00:10:58): https://parade.com/news/80s-band-saves-tomorrowland-edm-festival-metallica-fireRick Springfield on The Today Show (00:14:39): https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/rick-springfield-calls-out-today-show-melvin-yawning-boring-1236020597/80s Celebrities: Who Would Be a Jerk?

Men Without Hats are back with a synthy love letter to the ’80s — and a masterclass in AABBCCDD rhyming.Remember when the biggest fear in the ’80s was getting strapped to a lie detector? Gary Coleman’s wife took one to clear her name over his death — and the results were shakier than Mr. Drummond doing the Moonwalk.Paulo reviews Airwolf before Airwolf , and we dig up an ’80s Superman TV show nobody asked for.Jump To:Men Without Hats' New Song "I Love the 80s" (00:00:18): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV6SF492hNULive Aid 40th Anniversary Reflections (00:03:30): https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/live-aid-1985-michael-buerk-bob-geldof-b2788047.htmlGary Coleman's Death and Controversy (00:08:30): https://www.eonline.com/news/1419706/gary-colemans-death-what-happened-with-shannon-priceMovie Recommendation: Blue Thunder (00:15:27): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEUAviZ_OOkSuperman in the 1980s: Movies and TV (00:28:36): https://movieweb.com/superboy-80s-superman-tv-show-forgotten/Casting What-Ifs: Superman Replacements (00:33:13): https://movieweb.com/why-christopher-reeve-almost-recast-superman-iii/#Men Without Hats, #The Safety Dance, #I Love the 80s, #Ivan Doroschuk, #Live Aid, #40th Anniversary, #Phil Collins, #charity concert, #Bob Geldof, #Michael Burke, #Africa famine, #Gary Coleman, #Diff’rent Strokes, #tragic death, #Shannon Price, #reality TV, #Blue Thunder, #1983, #helicopter thriller, #Roy Scheider, #Vietnam War veteran, #Project Thor, #Malcolm McDowell, #Airwolf, #80s nostalgia, #synthpop, #80s movies, #pop culture, #80s music, #action films, #childhood memories, #cultural events, #80s legacy, #nostalgia factor.

Paulo and Dori come to you from a secret German bunker — The Hoff is down here, and so are Nena and Alphaville.But after this show, we don't think we'll be so big in Berlin.We right some wrongs from last week's show, which includes more sexy sax music than we remember — and dead gnomes.How many '80s movies were made on cocaine? The easier question is: how many weren't?We find out how Bill Murray made Hunter S. Thompson look silly, why Paulo hates City of Angels, and what happens when you slow down Kylie Minogue.Finally, we're voting for our favourite '80s ballad, and Paulo is tempted to give it to an animated cat.Jump To: St. Elmo’s Fire Soundtrack & Saxophone Debate (00:03:07): https://youtu.be/rgYkL_V1pmE?si=XcyHJyKjjs0BEQOLDawie Die Kabouter and Gnome Deaths (00:09:58): https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/54d5zo/til_that_the_last_episode_of_the_80s_kids_cartoon/Timelessness of Back to the Future (00:14:20): https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/jul/03/back-to-the-future-at-40Movies Fuelled by Cocaine (00:16:29): https://www.cracked.com/article_47203_23-movies-brought-to-you-mostly-by-cocaine.htmlWings of Desire: Plot and Differences from City of Angels (00:30:13): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liAOEb5rnbAPaulo’s Movie Review: Where the Buffalo Roam (00:37:52): https://youtu.be/_ZT6fziaIIw?si=p2mPbBCafjoICDd4Rick Astley’s Song Choices and an 80s Conspiracy (00:44:04): https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/jul/06/rick-astley-honest-playlist-kylie-donna-summer-biffy-clyro-abbahttps://youtu.be/N40qlumASq4?si=mJiTjWtvxWjoZsVRBBC 80s Duet Countdown (00:48:09): https://www.bbc.com/mediacentre/2025/bbc-radio-2-ultimate-80s-duet#1980s pop culture, #St. Elmo's Fire, #saxophone music, #Berlin Wall, #David Hasselhoff, #German culture, #corrections, #podcast, #nostalgia, #Back to the Future, #Bob Gale, #Game of Thrones, #The White Lotus, #incest in media, #cultural norms, #Wings of Desire, #Wim Wenders, #City of Angels, #black and white film, #Nick Cave, #Hunter S.

If you have a spare $40 lying around, you might be able to get Corey Feldman to inscribe your buttocks — just bring your own camera.The Simpsons have “killed off” Marge, so Paulo revisits three other 80s TV show deaths: one that traumatised him, one that confused him, and one that, well... titillated him.Paulo’s movie recommendation features some bizarre cameos, while Dori manages to upset Yoko Ono — something we can probably all get behind.And finally, we uncover Tony Danza’s tattoo and Rob Lowe’s most 80s moment. We don't know if it involves a saxophone.Jump To: Corey Feldman’s Autograph Economics (00:02:36): https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLQ87EAx0pF/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link80s TV Character Deaths: Transformers & Airwolf (00:08:29): Optimus Prime: https://youtu.be/S7sjXkYHOg0?si=1KTQ8oOld3mB1aCIAirwolf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shJnFFZO6l8Dallas & Bobby Ewing’s Dream Death (00:15:03): https://youtu.be/nCEjeTb1rrs?si=nS4PlLOFf92YU8IsChapter 27 (00:17:31): https://youtu.be/TktOCF-iBTQ?si=3kkF8CNEnGfdMEZxClint Eastwood’s Pink Cadillac (00:34:27): https://youtu.be/I5P2UWe-c1I?si=hI_4IderbhKb95bRBryan Adams in Pink Cadillac: https://images.app.goo.gl/RKJajr1EZqfDCK5m8Jim Carrey in Pink Cadillac: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098097/mediaviewer/rm189105665/?ref_=ext_shr_lnkTony Danza’s Legal Trouble & Who’s the Boss (00:43:07): https://www.cracked.com/article_47129_tony-danza-avoided-jail-time-thanks-to-whos-the-boss.htmlRob Lowe, Saint Elmo’s Fire, and 80s Nostalgia (00:46:56): https://www.aol.com/rob-lowe-reveals-favorite-part-150000509.html?guccounter=1  # character deaths, # The Simpsons, # Transformers, # Airwolf, # Dallas, # Corey Feldman, # celebrity appearances, # autograph signings, # 1980s television, # character arcs, # media commentary, # Chapter 27, # John Lennon, # Mark David Chapman, # Jared Leto, # method acting, # Lindsay Lohan, # Clint Eastwood, # absurdity, # movie reviews, # Tony Danza, # Rob Lowe, # St. Elmo's Fire, # entertainment industry, # celebrity culture, # 80s films, # cultural significance, # film recommendations, # absurd plot, # comedic elements, # character transformations, # psychological aspects, # entertainment nostalgia, # film discussions, # movie cameos, # light-hearted banter.

Who would’ve thought The Golden Girls would lead to the C-word being said four times in five minutes?Bea Arthur, that’s who — and don’t ask what’s itchin' in her kitchen. Dori discovers how to make beautiful Star Trek music, but all roads lead... somewhere we don’t need roads.Paulo shares why Top Gun is the ultimate ’80s fighter jet movie — hopefully Clint Eastwood can hear him.And we go around the ’80s in 80 seconds to find out why Rob Lowe won’t keep his shirt on, how Madonna finally finds a Papa who can preach, and why Prince blew up Weird Al.Jump To: - Bea Arthur vs. Betty White: The C Word (00:02:50): https://www.mensjournal.com/entertainment/80s-sitcom-stars-betty-white-bea-arthur-couldnt-warm-up-to-each-other-outside-of-the-golden-girls  - Concert in the Park Podcast (00:06:13): https://substack.solidgold.co.za/p/40th-anniversary-of-the-concert-in - Full Disclaimer Podcast (00:16:33): https://www.instagram.com/probert_designs/?hl=en - Firefox (00:24:14): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky-uzsw0kqw - Round the '80s in 80 Seconds(00:30:22): - Rob Lowe can't keep his shirt on: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14817497/Rob-Lowe-real-reason-shirtless-selfies.html - Madonna and The Pope: https://parade.com/news/beloved-80s-pop-star-with-a-complicated-church-history-is-related-to-pope-leo-xiv - Prince hated Weird Al: https://www.cracked.com/article_46922_prince-had-no-patience-for-weird-al-yankovic.html#That 80s Show, #Golden Girls, #Bea Arthur, #Betty White, #40th anniversary, #sitcom dynamics, #off-camera relationship, #South Africa concert, #apartheid, #1985 concert, #multiracial gathering, #pop culture, #nostalgia, #Star Trek, #DeLorean, #Back to the Future, #Andrew Probert, #Cold War, #Clint Eastwood, #Firefox, #voice-activated technology, #Rob Lowe, #Madonna, #celebrity relationships, #Weird Al Yankovic, #Prince, #artistic ownership, #80s cinema, #cultural significance, #film recommendations, #technology in film, #creative process, #humor, #anecdotes, #storytelling, #entertainment history.

Spaceballs 2. That’s it. That’s the episode.Oh, alright—Dori also watched an Adam Ant movie about a struggling artist who refuses to make money from his passion, which picks at a raw wound for Paulo.He reviews a sci-fi movie that somehow puts Carrie Fisher in an outfit even more revealing than in Return of the Jedi—all while teaching us about the dangers of the Neutron Dance.And finally, Michael J. Fox gets the last laugh, and a picture of He-Man has us thinking of Dirty Dancing.Jump To: - Spaceballs 2 Announcement (00:00:30): ⁠https://youtu.be/WsK-KPi_w3w⁠⁠https://people.com/spaceballs-2-everything-to-know-11754158⁠https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaceballs:_The_Animated_Series - Review of Trust Me & Adam Ant’s Filmography (00:20:15): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098529/ - Bad Movie Recommendations & The Time Guardian (00:25:20): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCIifRGFwQE - Carrie Fisher's breast plate: https://mutantreviewersmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/the-time-guardian.jpg - Family Ties Casting: Michael J.

A lot of our 80s favourites are getting sick — is it a conspiracy, or just a sign that we’re all getting really old?Michael Jackson's family is making a biopic and, in a totally-not-nepo-baby move, his nephew has landed the lead role.Still no word on who’s playing Tito.Was that a sock in Steve Guttenberg’s pocket, or was he just happy to see the Village People?

This week, Dori takes us through some 80s fad diets — including the definitely-not-a-cult Breatharian Diet.The most iconic movie/music scene combo in 80s cinema history almost sounded very different — and we have James Belushi to blame.Dori discovers a Japanese version of "Holding Out for a Hero", and Paulo finds a time-travelling movie that learned nothing from Back to the Future.Jump To:- 80s Fad Diets (00:01:25) : https://soyummy.com/pop-culture/1980s-diets/- Say Anything & The Boombox Scene (00:10:04):  ⁠https://www.cracked.com/article_46773_john-cusack-originally-blasted-ska-music-in-say-anything-boombox-scene.html⁠- Bonin in the Boneyard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLoH7Ra2WxI- Tetris Movie Review (00:17:13): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loCVDF9Fu4g- Japanese version of “Holding Out for a Hero (00:22:32): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D193wSP0YLc- Millennium (1989) Movie Review (00:26:34): https://youtu.be/S0k8xDtHnNM?si=bQ0owvI6hMFVt7MU#1980s fad diets, #fitness trends, #Tetris, #nostalgia, #Hollywood Diet, #Scarsdale Diet, #Drinking Man's Diet, #Israeli Army Diet, #Rice Diet, #Banana and Milk Diet, #Breatharian Diet, #diet absurdity, #movie discussion, #political espionage, #video game history, #soundtrack, #cultural significance, #time travel, #Millenium1989 #KrisKristofferson, #CherylLadd, #That Dori Show.

Balki Bartokomous is on everyone’s podcast — so why isn’t he on ours?Maybe it’s because we know nothing about Fred Savage and the brother from his mother.We marvel at an ’80s star’s chameleon-like ability to blend in — but by George, give us a Time and we’ll figure out who that boy is.Dori takes us to Action Park — and even though we never went there in the ’80s, every Gen Xer went to a water park that tried to kill them and trap their mullets in the pool inlet valves.Finally we wonder: why would a time-travelling teenager try a Tab?Jump To:Bronson Pinchot Discussion (00:02:02): https://youtu.be/2ewBBTZnscU?si=bjh2A3UzlQp_jJioBoy George's Appearance (00:12:06): https://www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/833720/80s-pop-icon-looks-completely-unrecognizable-in-rare-sighting-amid-exciting-new-role/Freddie Mercury's Secret Daughter (00:16:26): https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/freddie-mercurys-secret-daughter-bombshell-35288787Cocaine and Popeye (22:19): https://pagesix.com/2025/05/23/celebrity-news/1980s-hit-popeye-fueled-by-cocaine-says-mogul-barry-diller/Action Park (26:56): https://youtu.be/mqg48h_uKYM?si=2ByuCoCN7Gv2sEzNFandango Movie Introduction (00:46:05): https://youtu.be/AK-zl6S3MS0?si=B5qUWfNTQNdttfGNMovie Trivia Segment (00:52:37): https://www.remindmagazine.com/article/28535/1980s-popular-movie-trivia-quiz/#80s pop culture, #That 80s Show, #Bronson Pinchot, #Perfect Strangers, #Beverly Hills Cop, #Boy George, #Freddie Mercury, #secret daughter, #DNA testing, #nostalgia, #80s music, #80s television, #Seinfeld, #George Costanza, #Robin Williams, #Popeye, #Action Park, #Class Action Park, #Miami Vice, #1980s movies, #childhood memories, #amusement parks, #80s icons, #humor, #anecdotes, #entertainment history, #pop culture podcast, #memorable figures, #80s trends, #nostalgia podcast, #pop culture references, #celebrity stories, #comedy, #80s fashion, #cultural impact, #retro entertainment.

Last week, Dori told Paulo about Freetown Christiania, but she left out the part about the awesomely named Danish biker gangs—so we’re remedying that.Thanks to You and Huisgenoot magazines, we thought we’d seen every photo of 80s Princess Diana—but one has been released after 40 years, and we reveal just why the Palace kept it under wraps.John Cleese is no longer funny, Dori explores Neon Noir, and Pierce Brosnan is an Irishman with a Germano-Italian-French accent that borders on Dutch as he hunts Adam Ant.Finally, Paulo tests Dori’s knowledge of 80s lyrics—even if he had to include that forsaken Toto song.Jump To: Biker Gangs in Christiania (00:02:39): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit_Motorcycle_ClubPrincess Diana's Treatment in the 1980s (00:04:30): https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/royals/article-14702859/Palace-quashed-affair-rumours-Princess-Diana-David-Bowie.htmlJohn Cleese's Recent Controversies (00:09:41): https://www.cracked.com/article_46375_john-cleese-complains-that-he-cant-afford-to-live-in-luxury-anymore.htmlMiami Vice Documentary (00:14:14): https://youtu.be/8Wxvs-mA5Sg?si=AwbyilU1fx0A3QKDPierce Brosnan's accent in Nomads (00:30:43): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Yw-tQ4_d8AQuiz on 80s Music (00:40:44): https://www.buzzfeed.com/cinematicawesomeness/80s-song-lyrics-quiz

An 80s something Paulo didn't know and even though Robert Downey Junior as George Michael wasn't funny at all, it was still better than Doolittle.Paulo recommends an 80s teen time travel movie that would be the best 80s teen time travel movie - if Back to the Future 1, Back to the Future 2, Peggy Sue Got Married, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure or Flight of the Navigator didn't exist.You'll never guess who the richest actress from the 80s is and imagine ignoring the unknown opening act at an 80s Hall & Oates concert - only to look back from the bar and see that the lead singer is Cher.Jump To: - Robert Downey Jr. and Anthony Michael Hall on SNL (00:01:44): https://x.com/georgekyria/status/1680616447431565312?utm_source=chatgpt.com - Christiania Podcast (00:12:28): https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/598-christiania/ - My Science Project Overview (00:23:02): https://youtu.be/Vlqmk2URDFY?si=Wmi58nMtlzMq3xcM - Jamie Gertz's Wealth (00:31:19): https://www.2oceansvibe.com/2025/05/09/this-billionaire-you-forgot-from-the-80s-is-richer-than-taylor-swift-and-clooney-combined/ - Cher's Rock Band (00:33:05): https://ultimateclassicrock.com/cher-black-rose/https://youtu.be/bbtmMV_OAN0?si=VOHdIx9Pqnm-Kl3F#1980s, #pop culture, #Robert Downey Jr., #Anthony Michael Hall, #Saturday Night Live, #SNL, #Brat Pack, #Sixteen Candles, #The Breakfast Club, #Less Than Zero, #nostalgia, #Christiania, #Copenhagen, #alternative community, #drug use, #countercultural movement, #Bifrost, #flower power rock band, #Icon, #99% Invisible, #sci-fi teen movies, #Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, #Explorers, #The Last Starfighter, #Flight of the Navigator, #My Science Project, #female billionaires, #Oprah Winfrey, #Jamie Gertz, #Cher, #Black Rose, #entertainment industry, #cultural landscape, #humor, #addiction, #legacy of 80s stars, #comedy, #creativity, #chaos.

Welcome to That 80s Show, where it always tastes like Mello-Yello and Live Aid 40 is going to make sure every day is Christmas.Paulo watched a little-known 80s Rom-Com, but it raised some awkward questions about what turns a demon on.There is only one person who would be offended by being compared to John Stamos, and we find out about the poor tour guide who came across him.We have a Michael Bolton health update, and Dori is going to spend all the money in her BoB T account trying to get Corey Haim's phone number.Jump to: Live Aid Musical "Just for One Day" (00:04:05)Plot Overview of "My Demon Lover" (00:09:41):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCiwZzPcMXwScott Valentine (19:55): https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0884306/mediaviewer/rm3464153088/?ref_=nm_ph_1Mistaken Identity: John Stamos (21:10): https://people.com/rob-lowe-calls-out-tour-bus-driver-who-mistakes-him-for-john-stamos-11717742Podcast on Full House (24:30): https://www.cracked.com/article_46377_full-house-child-actors-fielded-gross-questions-about-uncle-jesse-from-adult-interviewers.htmlMichael Bolton's Health Update (27:15): https://people.com/michael-bolton-breaks-silence-glioblastoma-brain-cancer-diagnosis-first-interview-exclusive-11724330Corey Haim and Corey Feldman Hotline (32:00): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7HrRRAXAjs&t=30s

This week we found a full guava roll in our lunch box and hate we can get hot cross buns whenever we want. Paulo engaged in some titillating titty typing and found the most banned video games of the 80s.It’s the BITCHIEST feud no one knew about – and it’s over. Madonna has forgiven Elton John, but is he really sorry?Dori recommends a Netflix show that will make you so happy you’ll do the dance of joy, while Paulo is fascinated by Andy Garcia’s greasy ponytail.We end the show discussing a pair of Face-Hoffs, one over a will, the other over an upside-down yoga mat.Jump to:Banned Video GamesBachelor Party Game Overview (00:06:49): https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bachelor+party+video+game+game+playCuster's Revenge Game Overview (00:10:06):https://youtu.be/KMVV930VIYU?si=bPOImiPGcC2bI_bRBeat 'Em and Eat 'Em Game Overview (00:13:57): https://youtu.be/ZTeVMBYQc6g?si=jvD5zljotTbe3h5WMadonna and Elton John's Feud (00:18:00): https://variety.com/2025/music/news/madonna-elton-john-end-feud-1236362202/Review of "The Residence" (00:29:04): https://youtu.be/aYC2zCdcKW0?si=LMr6S_jMLvbV43rF8 Million Ways to die (00:35:21): https://youtu.be/DBUpIn87DEg?si=H27H-BI7z-Scn0CsFace-Hoff (00:43:03): https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/david-hasselhoff-pamela-bachs-daughter-legal-claim-moms-estate#pop culture, #nostalgia, #1980s, #Batman, #Michael Keaton, #Joker, #Jack Nicholson, #Heath Ledger, #Catwoman, #Michelle Pfeiffer, #controversial video games, #Mystique, #Bachelor Party, #Custer's Revenge, #Beat 'Em and Eat 'Em, #video game history, #banned video games, #gaming regulations, #celebrity feuds, #Madonna, #Elton John, #reconciliation, #Netflix algorithm, #murder mystery series, #Kylie Minogue, #Hugh Jackman, #Clue, #Bronson Pinchot, #8 Million Ways to Die, #Jeff Bridges, #noir film, #Hal Ashby, #Oliver Stone, #David Hasselhoff, #celebrity news, #family dynamics, #entertainment, #humor, #commentary.

Paulo knows credit card scammers from the ’80s – and it was tough back then with the little “shook shook” machine.We hear from Jean-Claude Van Andrew Tate while Dori channels Living & Loving – but this edition includes hairy men and Benji.Plastic surgery changed The Hoff’s life, and Paulo still wants to poo in George Michael’s toilet.And finally… was Madonna really in The Breakfast Club?
