There was a Young Ryan from Limerick

Who joined That 80s Show with his little...

Let's leave that there - Young Ryan returns with tales from The Emerald Isle and his list of Top 3 Lesbians in a segment that has nothing to do withe nudie films.

Paulo introduces his guests to the sweetest piece of Last Christmas content of the year, but whatever you do DON'T Google, ''Whamster''.

Dori quizzes Ryan on the 80s, and stumps Paulo with her viewing recommendation.

Paulo's movie of the week is the Christmas Horror called Elves. incestuous Nazi Satanists in wheel chairs and Ninja Turtle Pyjamas - and no sign of the guy from Anchorman.

We have great new about Dolph Lundgren and want to get invited to the Murphy/Lawrence wedding stand-up special.

Paulo relives a childhood Castle Grayskull nightmare and makes a Freudian slip that would give He-Man and Fisto a very profitable Only Fans account.

Status Quo locking Spandau Ballet in the bathroom, Bananarama don't need town cars, a very thirsty Boy George and Bono's villain origin story, we find out how they made the original Band Aid - and yes, we do swoon over George Michael, his beautiful voice and very symmetrical black and white shirt.

ELTON JOHN IS BLIND - for now, but he's getting better, a little click bait never hurt anyone.

Dori does a live unboxing and finds a sheep dressed in sheeps clothing.

Paulo found a movie staring Kirk Douglas and Farrah Fawcett that featured a lot of nudity. And only 10% of it was Farrah Fawcett.

A millennial blogger has a few problems with Back to the Future, we in turn have a few problems with a millennial blogger and you'll never believe who's the Ted Danson doppelgänger.

Presented with the evidence, we change our minds about BandAid40 - that's the power of Christmas...and George Michael appearing on screen with Robbie Williams.

We hate all versions of Last Christmas except the original, but Paulo found one that made his palms sweaty.

Dori finds 80s Steve Buscemi sexy, Paulo wishes gymnasts wore undies and after watching Sigourney Weaver in Ghostbusters Noël did his best impression of an exploding Stay Puft man...white, sticky stuff etc etc.

Plus, we link Grace Jones to the most unlikely place on earth. Dolph Lundgren's nipples quiver with delight.

Do they know it's inappropriate after all?

Band Aid is back for a 40th-anniversary nightmare mash-up. While we love an '80s supergroup, we all know better now—or do we?

We uncover what Tim Curry was doing to Freddie Mercury's bushes and explore the meaning behind the lyrics of Karma Chameleon.

Spoiler: the phrase “Calmer Chameleon” does not appear anywhere.

Dori reminisces about The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show, but all Paulo wants to know is: how does Snoopy poop?

Surely, he's above popping a squat in the backyard?

Paulo uses sound effects to review the film Lady Terminator. Who knew a dick kick sounded like that?

Finally, we share our Christmas wish lists. Dibs on the evil George Michael throw cushion!

For a fantastic selection of gifts for the '80s fan in your life, visit Retro Fair.

They even have a Batman button just like the one Paulo shoplifted from Woolworths when he was nine.

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.
