That 80s Show SA

Who slept with the entire A-Team, and did Murdoch do the helicopter?

Only the hottest ’80s topics are ever discussed on this show!!

Tiffany does a Stevie Nicks impression — will she finally be left alone?

With the news that AI is about to kill us, we wonder if ’80s movies held any clues about what to expect. We find out that it’s less Arnold Schwarzenegger and more Richard Pryor.

Marty Supreme’s soundtrack confuses Dori, and Paulo finds a sequel to Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

No video cassettes were paused during its pool scene.

Plus, Girl you know its true, I divorce you, Adam Lambert saves George Michael, and sitcoms that may not have existed.

In the 80s, we tuned people like we tuned our TVs: by rubbing their knobs!

Paulo gets behind an AI trend that wasted a bottle of water in pursuit of seeing himself with a mullet. But is AI really doing more environmental damage than Debbie Gibson's hairspray?

We make time for Mr. T jibba jabba, and no fool is left unpitied, while Dori finally admits that she's not one of those people who has to know things immediately.

When did John Travolta infiltrate the KGB...and Duran Duran? Who is Rob Lowe's mortal enemy? Will we get sued by The B-Team?

And what bedsheets does Cousin Louis Louis Louis have?

They say you can carbon-date someone by the Tim Curry role they instantly recognise. Paulo would happily follow Tim down any drainpipe in the world, but Dori's favourite Tim Curry role might surprise you.

Actually, it won't. It's exactly what you think it is... and it's astounding.

That does, however, lead us to discover which other coffin-dodging celebrities we need to protect at all costs.

Dori hates Mondays but loves the South African Post Office — an institution that hasn't received this much affection since Paulo was sending fan mail to the KTV cast.

George Michael Day attracts exactly the demographic you'd expect, Jeff Goldblum could reimburse your ticket, and we play a game that helps us uncover some of the iconic characters voiced by Peter Cullen... and a few he definitely didn't voice.

It was also just an excuse to talk about Garth Knight.

Paulo is back from Portugal with a tan to rival Ridgeley's!

We pay tribute to Dolly Parton and her 80s movie career, where she co-starred with Sly, Burt en Die Man van Staal — but which part was staal?

Corey Feldman's birthday party was a blast... for Corey, while everyone else stood around looking confused.

We wonder: what is a Miniland without the minis? Short answer: no dromedaries, no Dori dramas.

Wham! in China made Dori weep, the Aussie PM is a creep, and the Hoff's codpiece budget was too steep.

All that and more in this triumphant return of That 80s Show.

It's Corey Feldman's birthday week, and everyone is invited!!!!

As long as you pay the cover charge.

While rummaging through a Corey Hole, we discover his Spotify page, his carefully moderated comment section, his tasteful LA villa, his energy drink brand, and the thing we're all here for.

Whatever it is, it's made of leather.

We meet Michael Jackson's stalker, read fairly innocent Dolph Lundgren quotes over the Emmanuelle soundtrack, and jump onto the Bon Jovi Volkswagen.

Two 80s Truths and a Lie features a moustache, girls having fun in Japan, and the world's most irritating childhood friends.

Milli Vanilli, Young MC and C+C Music Factory - ultimate 80s party playlist - or the latest artists to feud with Donald Trump?

Someone needs to stop. Collaborate. And listen.

Divorce became a really hot topic in the 80s, and who better to navigate kids through it than one of TV's favourite dads? And a floating ghost from Masters of the Universe.

Some 80s songs didn't mean what you think they mean, and Paulo found a movie that could have meant so much more - but instead killed a man with a giant set of pyrotechnic bobs.

Two 80s Truths and a Lie rocks you with a VW fact and spends some time in Bangkok.

Corey Feldman falls ill on a flight and makes the news — conveniently just a week before releasing new music for the first time in years.

He has our attention.

We imagine John Stamos with Michael Jackson's nose, and Paulo finds a movie that just may send him to hell.

Dori picks Paulo's next movie to review. It doesn't involve a lady whipping fight, but it does travel to 2017 in search of a cherry.

Garfield in the '80s sucked and made millions, Dori wants what's in Dolly Parton's jugs, and we all wish we got a Kenny Rogers sitcom.

Dori tried to watch the Kylie documentary on Netflix but gave up the moment she saw Jason Donovan and his amazing, not technicolour — spray-on leather pants.

Danny Pintauro, AKA Jonathan from Who's the Boss?, has a new project with Amazon, and Balki turns into a d*ck when he puts on a pair of deck shoes.

The names of Masters of the Universe toys sounded so made up, so Paulo made some up, which leads to a conversation about adult toys that does not go as expected.

Finally if you've ever felt like murdering a cat after watching Flashdance, we may just have the explanation.

The ultimate 80s weekend outing was pointless if it didn’t include a stop at Santarama Miniland. But Jan van Riebeeck’s Lilliputian empire has crumbled — and it’s given Paulo an idea for a very specific, very tiny heist.

Naturally, it somehow involves Michael Jackson. And because we said “Michael Jackson” three times in a row, we accidentally summoned Corey Feldman.

Unfortunately, we seem to be the only ones as we find out why he was told to “Beat It”, along with several other very 'Bad" Michael Jackson song puns.

If you flew into certain airports in 80s America, you might have found a bar where everybody knew your name — and two barflies who knew how to steal your soul.

Finally, “Two 80s Truths and a Lie” warns us never to use James Brown’s toilet.

In the 80s, we’d watch almost anything, yet somehow we missed shows like The Powers of Matthew Star, Supertrain, We Got It Made, Manne­tjie and Man met ’n Jas.

Plus, Kevin Bacon really liked white-water rafting, Jean-Claude Van Damme had a thing for Nazi jewel thieves, Beastie Boys fought for their own right to party, and Paulo created the greatest animated show of all time.
