That 80s Show SA

It's Wham! Week and Paulo is angry with Fall Out Boy.

They remade a Billy Joel song, and didn't even have the decency to do it in chronological order.

We have an intellectual conversation about Wham! on Netflix before Paulo brings Dori a story about Bud Spencer so ridiculous that he didn't even bother playing Two 80s Truths and a lie, because fact is stranger than fiction.

On that note - we uncover the very obvious reason why it's Bono from U2 and not Steinhegvanhuysenolegbangbangbang.

Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook. This show originally plays out with music that we have to remove from the podcast - here are the songs we spoke about and played:

We didn't start the fire - Billy Joel.

Freedom - Wham!

So much Glastonbury, so little time.

The biggest event of 2023 gives Paulo and Dori a chance to go back to the 80s to talk about Blondie, The Pretenders, Guns n Roses, Elton John and Rick Astley.

But most importantly, is Slash bald under his hat?

Movie recommendations get creepy and musical and we bring you offensive songs from the 80.

Don't get me wrong - The Pretenders.

Never gonna give you up - Rick Astley.

Ever wondered what happened to that 80s one hit wonder? Be more specific you say?

A conversation about Linda Hamilton's Terminator arms reminded Paulo and Dori of the very un-Disney Beauty and the Beast.

Who was worse? 80s video store guys or 80s music store guys? The video store guys let Paulo leave with age-restricted movies so they're in the lead.

Marisa Tomei in a towel, Andrew Ridgeley's ex walking to China, Dolph Lundgren's health and a very boring David Hasselhoff are all waiting for you in this weeks version of the Oros Man's favourite podcast.

Boom Boom - Paul Lekakis.

Call Me - Blondie

Paulo watched "Still: A Michael J Fox movie," and had all the feelings. So overwhelmed by emotion, he forgot the name of MJF's wife. Paulo is a jerk.

But he's a jerk with a new guilty pleasure in "A Town Called Malice." Dori recommends a movie with a message, but of course, we only notice the impractically long cocaine straw and the waterbed, which made Paulo think the movie will end up being porn.

Paulo is a jerk.

We discover why Urban Cowboys are dead, who the ultimate 80s action guy was, and what happens when you add a house beat to "Smooth Operator."

Vienna is calling - Falco.

Smooth Operator - Sade.

What would you do if you woke up back in the 80s?

Buy Apple stocks and not really do anything different, unless you're Dori, who would change the order in which she kisses her posters in the morning.

We also reminisce about the hilarity of 80s Garfield merchandise, wonder if River Phoenix would have had Johnny Depp's career, and imagine a world where Johnny Depp was the star of Big.

I wanna be a cowboy - Boys Don't Cry.

Ain't no half steppin' - Big Daddy Kane.

We open the show with a look back at Tina Turner's career, but being us - we ended up wondering which member of the supergroup USA for Africa would die next. One name ''jumped'' out at us.

Paulo reminds Dori of the mini-series V, while she reminds him of Macguyver's best friend.

Frank Stallone wouldn't try boxing, so why did Sly sing? And we close off the episode with Two 80s Truths and a lie.

Iko Iko - Cyndy Lauper

We promise that we had a running order for this week's show, but once Dori brought up Panburgers we took a very weird detour that Chunged our Wangs.

Pac-Man, paint-stripping 80s vinegar, skinny dipping with Jane Fonda, another, more obvious, name for the keytar, Paulo being blocked by Andrew Ridgley and naturally Dolph Lundgren's nipples.

And those weren't even the weird things we got into.

Come and knock on our door...but not while we're recording!!!

It's Three's Company as Barret Edelstein, The Celeb Savant joins Paulo and Dori. He tells us about his tribute interview with Michael Caprio, Olivia Newton-John's publicist and brings another round of Chart Savant to the pod.

Before that we talk about the movie, ''Air'' - which Barret walked out of. We also remember Whitney Houston, whose Ellis Park concert Barret walked out of.

Quite frankly we're shocked that he stayed for the entirety of this show.

The Celeb Savant's Tribute to Olivia Newton-John with Michael Caprio (Publicist): https://iono.fm/e/1307687

How much would you pay for an unopened Betamax? Not as much as Dori would pay for a half-naked David Hasselhoff torpedo boat.

Dori brings in a guest for her movie recommendation, ''Society''. Dori has never watched it, Paulo watched one scene and fears this segment may have reached it's natural end.

As the world watches the new Michael J. Fox documentary we find out who he dated in the 80s.

The The - This is the day.

We finally have something in common with Brooke Shields - none of us are getting Cruise cake.

We count down Europe's celeb encounters, plus Paulo rewatched Robocop and picked up some things he had missed as a kid. All that time watching a guy get shot into meat that he missed the apartheid propaganda.

In #PrimeWeek Paulo finds a way to include a Logan Paul mention plus we find out what happened to Richard Grieco.
