That 80s Show SA

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.

!!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?

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.

One person who won't be there is George Michael, but his ghost may be - at least according to his cousin who has been receiving messages from beyond.

Corey Feldman and his tricky fingers are trending and we're going haunted house hunting.

Paulo brings you another movie in the, "I can't believe it's nor porn'' genre and in celebration of the Retro Fair we play a few rounds of their official drinking game...with no drinks present.

**Official Podcast Announcement (00:01:25)**

The hosts announce their new partnership with the Pretoria Retrofair event.

**George Michael's Supernatural Contact (00:08:19)**

**Corey Feldman News (00:14:42)**

Introduction of Corey Feldman and his recent music career developments.

**Poltergeist House Listing (00:25:29)**

**Death Stalker II Overview (00:39:29)**

A humorous look at "Death Stalker II," emphasizing its parody elements and self-awareness.

Paulo and Dori mention two separate 80s celebs' nipples before we hit the three-minute mark… It’s going to be one of those shows.

We start on a slip-slioppery slope before adopting the mantra WWJLD—What Would Johnny Lawrence Do? We ask whether you would buy pants from Brooke Shields or would you prefer her genes.

We talk about "Jacked" Gyllenhaal in the Roadhouse remake, question if Kevin Bacon was all that, and Paulo hits a literal low with his movie of the week.

Breakdancing and Flava Flav bring the 80s to the Olympics and can Paulo guess Dori's star sign based on her favourite 80s movies?

AI has rebranded this show and Paulo and Dori both get Rick Rolled in separate incidents.

Paulo may or may not be chatting to Thomas Anders so join us for the first instalment of "The Ballad of Bernd Weidung''.

We explore the origins of 80s slang, get tricked by some Australians and wrap up with a silly little 80s Billy.
