    Did 80s movies predict how AI will kill us | We say the word ‘’peen’’ |

    Who slept with the entire A-Team, and did Murdoch do the helicopter? Only the hottest ’80s topics are ever discussed on this show!! Tiffany does a Stevie Nicks impression — will she finally be left alone? With the news that AI is about to kill us, we wonder if ’80s movies held any clues about what to expect. We find out that it’s less Arnold Schwarzenegger and more Richard Pryor. Marty Supreme’s soundtrack confuses Dori, and Paulo finds a sequel to Fast Times at Ridgemont High. No video cassettes were paused during its pool scene. Plus, Girl you know its true, I divorce you, Adam Lambert saves George Michael, and sitcoms that may not have existed.

    No generation broke wind harder | Mr T-Tinted Testicles | The Travolta Meh-mometer

    In the 80s, we tuned people like we tuned our TVs: by rubbing their knobs! Paulo gets behind an AI trend that wasted a bottle of water in pursuit of seeing himself with a mullet. But is AI really doing more environmental damage than Debbie Gibson's hairspray? We make time for Mr. T jibba jabba, and no fool is left unpitied, while Dori finally admits that she's not one of those people who has to know things immediately. When did John Travolta infiltrate the KGB...and Duran Duran? Who is Rob Lowe's mortal enemy? Will we get sued by The B-Team? And what bedsheets does Cousin Louis Louis Louis have?

    Trump vs Milli Vanilli | Orko taunts kids of divorce | Upgrading your cherry

    Milli Vanilli, Young MC and C+C Music Factory - ultimate 80s party playlist - or the latest artists to feud with Donald Trump? Someone needs to stop. Collaborate. And listen. Divorce became a really hot topic in the 80s, and who better to navigate kids through it than one of TV's favourite dads? And a floating ghost from Masters of the Universe. Some 80s songs didn't mean what you think they mean, and Paulo found a movie that could have meant so much more - but instead killed a man with a giant set of pyrotechnic bobs. Two 80s Truths and a Lie rocks you with a VW fact and spends some time in Bangkok.

    Michael Jacksons adopted nose | Exploding knob status | Dori wants Dolly coffee

    Corey Feldman falls ill on a flight and makes the news — conveniently just a week before releasing new music for the first time in years. He has our attention. We imagine John Stamos with Michael Jackson's nose, and Paulo finds a movie that just may send him to hell. Dori picks Paulo's next movie to review. It doesn't involve a lady whipping fight, but it does travel to 2017 in search of a cherry. Garfield in the '80s sucked and made millions, Dori wants what's in Dolly Parton's jugs, and we all wish we got a Kenny Rogers sitcom.

    Jason Donovan and amazing spray on pants | Johnny 5 says you’ll survive | Fisher Price Adult Toys

    Dori tried to watch the Kylie documentary on Netflix but gave up the moment she saw Jason Donovan and his amazing, not technicolour — spray-on leather pants. Danny Pintauro, AKA Jonathan from Who's the Boss?, has a new project with Amazon, and Balki turns into a d*ck when he puts on a pair of deck shoes. The names of Masters of the Universe toys sounded so made up, so Paulo made some up, which leads to a conversation about adult toys that does not go as expected. Finally if you've ever felt like murdering a cat after watching Flashdance, we may just have the explanation. Who's the Boss?

    A Specifically 80s Heist | Corey Feldman Told to Beat It | Don’t Use James Brown’s Toilet

    The ultimate 80s weekend outing was pointless if it didn’t include a stop at Santarama Miniland. But Jan van Riebeeck’s Lilliputian empire has crumbled — and it’s given Paulo an idea for a very specific, very tiny heist. Naturally, it somehow involves Michael Jackson. And because we said “Michael Jackson” three times in a row, we accidentally summoned Corey Feldman. Unfortunately, we seem to be the only ones as we find out why he was told to “Beat It”, along with several other very 'Bad" Michael Jackson song puns. If you flew into certain airports in 80s America, you might have found a bar where everybody knew your name — and two barflies who knew how to steal your soul. Finally, “Two 80s Truths and a Lie” warns us never to use James Brown’s toilet.
