  • The Thomas Anders Programme | Kurt Darren's iced hip | Aga-RIP | Don't blow my air-pants
    Jun 13 2024

    Paulo and Dori do some Modern Talking about the Thomas Anders concert but feel like they visited another country, like Denmark.


    We take a look at the cheesiest songs of the 80s and wear a black lace armband to commemorate the passing of the 80s biggest novelty artist.


    Dori re-watched an 80s classic on the big screen and Paulo discovers a pair of pants he can no longer live without.

  • OUTTA TIME for BTTF | Compeatin’ with a Keaton | An 80s reality show | Martin Kemp’s underpants
    Jun 7 2024

    If Paulo could go back in time - he'd go watch the Back to the Future stage show.


    Dori disagrees on Paulo's favourite 80s sitcom family but rather tells us about a family that were forced to live in the 80s in 2010.


    We discover how much Martin Kemp's clothes cost, explore the (Spandau) ballet of emotions around Shirley Kemp's marriage and count down the 10 cheesiest movies of the 80s.

  • Violet Sky | Changing John Hughes movies | Bo Derek covered in honey is a bad thing | Bring us your Belindas!
    May 30 2024

    There's a trend of Instagrammers dressing up in 80s clothes and doing photo shoots at abandoned malls - and we're all over it!


    Dori would change alot about John Hughes movies but not what you'd expect.


    Paulo's movie recommendation rounds up the latest edition of, "I can't believe it's not porn'' and we ask what happens when you send a pool cleaner to space?


    Plus, if you have any 80s Belindas around - we want them!

  • A Prince and The Revolution Revelation | Keeping Eurovision Alive | Sheena and over-worked breast tape
    May 27 2024

    Paulo and Dori realise they knew alot about Prince, but very little about The Revolution. We dive into Wendy and Lisa, which we're pretty sure Prince...well you can finish that.


    Dori is the only person in the world still talking about Eurovision and Paulo is the only person still talking about Sheena, Queen of the Jungle.


    Prince pops up again as we discuss his 1986 flop, Under the Cherry Moon and we wrap up with more 80s Orangutan chat.

  • Ghostbusters keeps breaking Paulo’s heart | Tommy Lee and the untrashable hotel room | Clyde & Seek. The story of an orang-utan and his comb-over.
    May 16 2024

    Paulo keeps getting suckered into Ghostbusters movies and finally admits that, ’Bustin’ makes him feel bad’’.


    In the 80s, Richie Sambora, Ozzy Osbourne, Mötley Crüe, Skid Row, Scorpions, Cinderella and more got on a plane to perform an anti-drug concert in Russia.


    What could go wrong?


    We give too much thought to Rick Astley’s footwear and get excited for Teen Wolf 3.

  • That 80s Show | Justified FOMO…MD | Almost Roxette | Mullet Shirts | Ringo Starr in a loin cloth
    May 9 2024

    Paulo faces his FOMO and asks Dori how the OMD concert was. His FOMO worsened.


    We ask how many members of an 80s band need to tour for it to still be THAT version of the band, and wonder if the short sleeved shirt with a tie is the clothing version of a mullet...business in the front, party down the sides.


    Would you sleep in Prince's bed? Does Ringo Starr make a believable caveman? Do we get (almost) full marks for the lyrics quiz?


    It's That 80s Show and it's made for your earholes.


    Everything you hear on here, and more, can be found on That 80s Show SA on Facebook.

  • That 80s Show | There's a new Karate Kid in town | Getting Parent Trapped by Jughead | Jeff Bridges and his blue balls.
    Apr 27 2024
    This town ain't big enough for two Karate Kids, but with the amount of bullies around in 80s movies - maybe we need them both. Over 90% of cars in Norway are electric vehicles, find out how A-Ha are responsible. Dori presents a monster of a movie while Paulo is fascinated with the way Jeff Bridges uses his balls. Rick Astley hates ''Never gonna give you up” and we're starting to hate the 80s song lyric quiz. For everything discussed in this show, join us on That 80s Show SA on Facebook.
