We didn’t have our usual time to do the show and should have known that once The Hoff entered the conversation, we would lose all track of time.

Before that, we looked at the massive 80s stars who were snubbed by The Grammys during the 80s, when it was a procession of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Whitney Houston, and Kenny Loggins wins.

Dori surprises Paulo with RDJ's dating history, while Paulo finds a movie that connects the Brat Pack to Breaking Bad, to AC/DC, and even to The Simpsons.

Add some more explicit warnings—Dori will make you blush and confuse Emmanuelle with Emmanuel Lewis.

What happens when you return Sly Stallone's call? You make a song with more “Bams” than the entire Rocky franchise.

Dori reviews ’80s anime, and Paulo discovers a forgotten Keanu Reeves film that may have inspired his Bill & Ted character—but definitely features Aunt Becky in her undies.

Full House, anyone?

Aunty Ru is our heart and soul, Corey Feldman needs a dishwasher, and The Hoff loses his head.

Welcome to That 80s Show where we celebrtae the music made 40 years before Hop Hop Spinnekop.

This week we discover that Rod Stewart and David Schwimmer are NOT friends and how David Lynch almost reunited 2 of The Amigos through shared saliva.

We hear through the grapevine how the California Raisins led to N.W.A and we cold have uncovered a lip-sync scandal of Milli Vanilli proportions.

Dori reveals that 80s criminals prefer Boy George to Metallica and Paulo reviews a movie where Hugh Grant is more Hugh Grant than Hugh Grant has ever been.

Granted.

A 15-year old reviews 80s heart throbs and Paulo and Dori really miss 80s Simba chips.

The first show of the year kicks off with a look at movies and songs that will celebrate their 40th anniversary and includes Eddie Murphy blowing up, A Last Dragon, Marty going Back to the Future and Harrison Ford prompting a high school kid to go ''Hubba Hubba''.

Dori recommends a Jae Bae movie where he's scarier than a Teen Woolf while Paulo spent the holidays with an E-Tv late night favourite not called Emmanuelle .

Promise.

Police Academy make a welcome appearance at the LA Fires but Harry and Meghan are not wanted there, no matter what Family Ties they may have.

To wrap up, we check in on Brad Pitts dating life and we encourage Rob Lowe to release his Toto tapes.

We've already seen the other one.

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!
