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.

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.

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.

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? And someone stole Marty McFly’s guitar — but don’t worry, your kids are gonna love it.

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.

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?

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.

RDJ & AMH on SNL? WTF?!?!

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.

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.
