That 80s Show SA

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!

It’s November the First and if the question is, “Can I start playing Last Christmas?’’, the answer is, “Why did you stop?’’.  Paulo is not afraid of Elon Musk’s killbots, he has the best 80s robots - and  V.I.C.I. on his side.  Dori doesn’t want to see an American Psycho remake, less Patrick Bateman and more Jason Bateman & The Dregs of Society. Paulo admits something about Robin Williams and The Hoff has made us want an electric car.

Don't you forget about The Breakfast Club sequel. We didn't but the internet tried to trick us. It's doccie time with the life story of Gary Coleman and the death stories of 80s hair band members. The resurrection theme continues in Dori's movie of the week while Paulo's movie is so silly it's almost art. As we celebrate #BTTFDAY24 we examine the technology that came true and the ones that never materialised. We're looking at you, hoverboards. Finally Freddy Krueger even scared the crap out of himself and made an entire generation distrustful of anyone in a green and red striped jersey.

Milli Vanilli are back in the charts for the first time in over 30 years, and you gotta blame it on something. In less murderous brother news - Paulo reveals the names of the little dinosaurs from Bubble Bobble which prompts us to try to name their girlfriends with sub-par results. What were the Seinfeld cast up to in the 80s just before they became mega-stars, and Paulo thought Cheetara was the only scantily-clad, cat-like humanoid he had eyes for...until he watched Rock and Rule. To wrap up we wonder how Tiffany is going to imagine her 80s hits and realise that a cult may have inspired Footloose.

Nothing like a dirty old 80s deck to get the show started! Paulo wanted Michael Knight to be his dad and Thomas Anders is a dzaddy. 80s TV shows had terrible endings especially Three's Company, so Dori fixed it. We remember the Wombles and find out that Wombling is legal but frowned upon even though it doesn't involve burrowing or trash. Also, 80s dogs were d**ks, you shouldn't be an old Josh and Cyndi Lauper proves that girls just wanna do suplexes. #1980s pop culture, #David Hasselhoff, #Baywatch, #pop culture references, #rickrolling, #social media, #TV show endings, #St. Elsewhere, #Quantum Leap, #The Cosby Show, #Cheers, #Miami Vice, #Magnum P.I., #The Golden Girls, #M*A*S*H, #Knight Rider, #The A-Team, #Growing Pains, #ALF, #Three’s Company, #Dynasty, #Red Hot Chili Peppers, #Suburbia, #Josh Brolin, #Pet Shop Boys, #youth culture, #suburban ennui, #rebellion, #nonconformity, #Vince McMahon, #WWF, #Cyndi Lauper, #nostalgia, #humor, #podcast episode, #pop culture icons, #iconic TV shows, #1980s nostalgia.

!!Warning!! This episode contains some outrageous Afrikaans euphemisms! Paulo and Dori are joined by Noel Opperman, The Curator Supreme of the Pretoria Retro Fair for a deep dive into Liewe Heksie, among other puppet related things. We dispute the denials about a Goonies sequel - we just think they don't want Corey Feldman to show up. Jon Bon Jovi saves someone who was living on a prayer, Dori tries to hurry love fro the sake of finishing a Plex movie and Paulo has the Munchies. Finally, we reopen Wham! corner and we're glad to report that it's held its moistness.

Along with hulking muscles, Paulo has another thing in common with Lou Ferrigno - neither of them know their social media log ins. Morrissey must have a new publicist because he's back in the news and this time he's taking on The Vatican. Dori finds a tenuous link for her ''80s'' movie recommendation but it involves Jamiroquai so it was allowed - meantime Paulo makes a huge shout about Spaceballs. Sting is redoing Roxanne - but you won't believe who his collaborator is and Heaven 17 don't need video game money.

Paulo and Dori took a hit of nostalgia crack at The Pretoria Retro Fair and talk about the frustration of booking out an unwound VHS, arcade game survival tactics, oysters in the sun and finding The Lost Boys in the bathroom. Paulo tracked down The Hoff's song with Patricia Lewis and it's more spectacular than he remembered. Dori has a very intellectual podcast recommendation, we could all afford 80s sitcom houses and was an 80s puppet show set in Cape Town taking digs at the apartheid government? **Welcome & Nostalgic Pets (00:00:17)** **Pretoria Retrofit Fair (00:01:49)** **Patricia Lewis and The Hoff (00:19:00)** **Oasis inspired Reunion Tours (00:30:00)** **Podcast Recommendation: You're Wrong About (00:39:44)** Dory shares her thoughts on the podcast "You're Wrong About," focusing on George Michael. **Film Recommendation (00:49:31)** **Financially Unrealistic Sitcom Characters (00:58:29)** **Interster TV Show Discussion (01:05:51)** Tools, Websites, and Links Urban Dictionary: "00:07:06" Facebook Page for That 80 Show: "00:18:08" Lost Media Wiki: "01:11:38" Oyster Shot (Pretoria Oyster): "00:02:34" Pretoria Retrofit Fair: "00:01:51" Oasis Tour Announcement: "00:25:38" Contra: "00:06:11" Double Dragon: "00:06:30" Little Shop of Horrors: "00:11:04" Music Video of "Miss Kiss Kiss Bang" by David Hasselhoff and Patricia Lewis: "00:20:53" Wiseguys: "00:52:50" Johnny Dangerously: "00:54:05" Interstellar: "01:05:51" Thunderbirds: "01:06:10" Full House: "01:00:41" Family Matters: "01:02:41" Seinfeld: "00:59:18" Danny DeVito: "00:53:36" You're Wrong About: "00:39:44" Park Cruising: What Happens When We Wander Off the Path?: "00:48:15" (No specific book title mentioned): "01:13:12" Wham Documentary: "00:41:42" David Hasselhoff Clip: "01:12:55" Dynamic Pricing for Concert Tickets: "00:27:33" Britney Spears Book: "00:48:52" #Pretoria Retrofit Fair, #80s nostalgia, #VHS tapes, #arcade games, #childhood memories, #retro merchandise, #Double Dragon, #video rental culture, #campy games, #80s music, #80s movies, #community, #nostalgia, #humor, #memorable titles, #food and drink at fairs, #taco and burger offerings, #vinyl collection, #80s pop culture, #shared interests, #vintage toys, #retro clothing, #comic books, #sitcoms, #financial absurdities in sitcoms, #Wise Guys, #Danny DeVito, #Joe Piscopo, #Seinfeld, #Full House, #Family Matters, #Married... with Children, #Interstellar puppet show, #apartheid in South Africa, #lost media, #David Hasselhoff, #social media engagement, #enduring impact of 80s culture, #light-hearted discussions, #cherished memories.

Your favourite Eddies are headed to The Pretoria Retro Fair and let's pray Paulo doesn't find Garbage Pail Kids. We advocate for the return of overhead projectors, find out who is on Team Heathcliff and realise that we really hate the Snorks. Dori tells us about an angel with amazing hair while Paulo has odd thoughts about Mina Moo. We wrap up with news about a new Hoff and get the tissues out for the Christopher Reeve documentary.

Be kind, rewind and make sure you're at the Pretoria Retro Fair on Saturday 31 August, details here: www.retrofair.co.za. Bring your Bob-T card! Paulo didn't pay that much attention to the Roadhouse Remake after all and Dori tells us about Narcopotamusesesessesssees. Plus mentions of Tupac, Willem Dafoe, Rabbit, Laura Branigan, a LEGO Gremlin, Erik Estrada and a plot to trick The Hoff.

The power of nostalgia is strong and smells like a family-sized bottle of Brut aftershave. So it doesn't take long for fans of retro to sniff each other out. The Pretoria Retro Fair is a celebration of 70s, 80s and 90s pop-culture and Paulo invited Noël Opperman to talk about the nuts and bolts of the fair but also the power of nostalgia to connect people to a time they thought they lost. Noël schools Paulo on the finest of 80s Afrikaans kids programming and they both speculate on the serial killer vibes given off my Angela Lansbury. The Pretoria Retro Fair happens on Saturday 31 August. That 80s Show will be there and so should you. Get the details here: www.retrofair.co.za. Mina Moo will thank you.

Paulo and Dori need to lock away their credit cards. We've partnered with the Pretoria Retro Fair and want to see you there on Saturday 31 August. Get the details on www.retrofair.co.za.

Paulo and Dori do some Modern Talking about the Thomas Anders concert but feel like they visited another country, like Denmark. We take a look at the cheesiest songs of the 80s and wear a black lace armband to commemorate the passing of the 80s biggest novelty artist. Dori re-watched an 80s classic on the big screen and Paulo discovers a pair of pants he can no longer live without.

If Paulo could go back in time - he'd go watch the Back to the Future stage show. Dori disagrees on Paulo's favourite 80s sitcom family but rather tells us about a family that were forced to live in the 80s in 2010. We discover how much Martin Kemp's clothes cost, explore the (Spandau) ballet of emotions around Shirley Kemp's marriage and count down the 10 cheesiest movies of the 80s.
