This week we found a full guava roll in our lunch box and hate we can get hot cross buns whenever we want. 

Paulo engaged in some titillating titty typing and found the most banned video games of the 80s.

It’s the BITCHIEST feud no one knew about – and it’s over. Madonna has forgiven Elton John, but is he really sorry?

Dori recommends a Netflix show that will make you so happy you’ll do the dance of joy, while Paulo is fascinated by Andy Garcia’s greasy ponytail.

We end the show discussing a pair of Face-Hoffs, one over a will, the other over an upside-down yoga mat.

Paulo knows credit card scammers from the ’80s – and it was tough back then with the little “shook shook” machine.

We hear from Jean-Claude Van Andrew Tate while Dori channels Living & Loving – but this edition includes hairy men and Benji.

Plastic surgery changed The Hoff’s life, and Paulo still wants to poo in George Michael’s toilet.

And finally… was Madonna really in The Breakfast Club? And did Dr. Huxtable cure polio?

A lo-fi version of the show this week, as Dori had a bumper bashing that did not lead to Adventures in Babysitting-style shenanigans.

Dolph Lundgren dons a wig and teases Paulo, while Dori is intrigued by the most banned movie of all time — which just happens to be from the '80s and also happens to sound like a Berlin techno club.

We take the time to remember Val Kilmer's most '80s — and '80s-adjacent — movies. Plus, we recap all the lovely acts of charity performed by George Michael, which raised the question: £25,000 or a cappuccino with Georgios?

We also find out that the crowd at a Journey concert just goes on and on and on… while Paul Young goes nowhere without holding onto the railings.

Live is Life—we hope!

Paulo and Dori recorded the latest episode of That 80s Show at Retro012—all the vibe, all the ambience, all their nonsense.

They catch up with Noël Opperman, the mulletted Curator Supreme of Retro012. He shares what went into this year’s event and reveals the unofficial tagline: “Those who get it, get it. Those who don’t—get a Noddy badge.”

PLUS

A highly interactive movie recommendation segment inspired by the videos on the shelf at Retro012, a round of Two 80s Truths and a Lie, and pumpkin-inspired CDogg beef.

Wrap-Up and Thanks (00:44:45)

As part of the #Podcasthon Initiative - www.podcasthon.org - That 80 Show met with Michele Cahi, an occupational therapist and trustee at Headway Gauteng to discuss the charity's vital work supporting individuals with brain injuries.

We highlight the emotional and psychological challenges faced by patients and their families, find out about Headway's holistic approach to therapy, and because we love the 80s - we ask about the role that music and nostalgia play in recovery.

This month of March is Brain Injury Awareness Month and we hope this episode underscores the significance of compassion and understanding in the healing process.

This week, Paulo and Dori both have wrist injuries—arcade game injury or too much hitchhiking?

Was your favourite drunken 80s sing-along song stolen? And what Bill Cosby-ish evils has AI seen?

Ever watched Terminator and wished it had more arm-wrestling? Don’t worry—Paulo found an Over-The-Top movie for you.

The original Ninja Turtles movie is returning to theatres, the Ingalls are heading back to the prairie, and you'll never guess which 80s anti-hero Peter Dinklage is playing,

In an inadvertently Spanish themed episode, Paulo doesn't want to join the Redington Frognal Neighbourhood Forum Whatsapp group - even if it does have to do with George Michael's bush.

A Knight Rider Agujero de conejo, led us to discover the joys of 80s shows in Spanish - which makes them 100 times better.

In movies, Dori cuts class, Paulo is crazy for you and Val Kilmer is mad at Matthew Modine.

Julio Iglesias is getting the Netflix treatment - we're looking forward to the 80s stuff, but it will probably Begin in the Beguine.

Casting news of the new live-action Masters of the Universe movie is out, and Paulo and Dori reject He-Man 2026 due to his tiny nipples.

We never knew how good we had it with Dolph.

We visit the 80s tuck shop of our minds and fill our bellies with corn syrup and artificial colouring as we reminisce about our favourite discontinued cool drinks.

80s movies didn't care if they offended you, and after discovering that the Hoff has crabs, we find out that he now has a penguin. Plus, we wonder who would win in a fight between La Linea and Morph.

Paulo watched the Pelé movie Hotshot, where he expected to see Pelé play soccer and actors act... instead, he got Pelé acting. And actors doing something soccer adjacent.

Finally, we find out which of Dori's traits are brought out due to Blondie, and don't wear your white heels to a silent 80s disco.

Paulo went to see Midge Ure and Tom Bailey from The Thompson Twins—and got to see so much more. Very little of it involved sunscreen.

We connect 80s movies with the songs that made them, and Dori spends time with a sex-addicted RDJ.

Paulo would rather talk about anything else than his Howie Mandel movie—even Pre-, Peak-, and Post-Sam Malone.

If you thought the most shocking thing about the song "Goodbye Horses" involved lotion-inspired tucking—do we have a story for you.

The Hoff is selling his house, and it’s not because of his crabs.
