That 80s Show SA

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.

Dori spots de plane, de plane. Paulo finds a dog out of water and we ask a Gen Z to rate 80s hotties - and try to ignore Morten Harket's armpits.

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.
