    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.

    Big Hair , Nothing Down There | Readers Digest Charity Calendars | Jean Claude's espadrilles

    What’s up, docs? Culture Club, Knight Rider and Kylie Minogue all get their own documentaries — will we find out if Michael Knight had a bonnet as smooth as K.I.T.T.'s? And what does it have to do with Optimus Prime reading a cake recipe? In the 80s, we’d watch almost anything, yet somehow we missed shows like The Powers of Matthew Star, Supertrain, We Got It Made, Manne­tjie and Man met ’n Jas. Plus, Kevin Bacon really liked white-water rafting, Jean-Claude Van Damme had a thing for Nazi jewel thieves, Beastie Boys fought for their own right to party, and Paulo created the greatest animated show of all time.

    The Little Nipple Club | Willie Nelson and The Little Red Hen | But face it, she’s Madonna

    The Michael Jackson biopic has hit the big screen — Dori wants scandal, Paulo just wants to know who plays Bubbles. One thing we must know by now is that when you say Michael Jackson’s name three times in a row, you’ll summon impersonator extraordinaire Corey Feldman — with his trusty sheer shirt allowing the world to see his disappointingly tiny nipples. That’s not the only thing he has in common with Paulo — they both share the middle-aged problem of no longer being able to dance. We also discover that Little Golden Books have been publishing biographies about some of our favourite 80s-ites. We get that Jim Henson might be interesting for kids as the father of the Muppets, but what child has ever wanted a bed time story about Bruce Springsteen? Paulo reviews one of the most angsty movies of the 80s, Dori reminds us that no matter what you do, Madonna did it first, and “Two 80s Truths and a Lie” tugs at the Hulkster’s heartstrings.

    Lamas, Lamas and more Lamas | R.I.P M.J.F?

    More llamas per minute than a Falcon Crest binge-watch, Paulo’s latest obsession covers semi-nude photo shoots, Urban Dictionary definitions, and a movie about breakdancing, graffiti, and rapping — in which Lorenzo does none of the three. But before we get to #LamLear, Paulo found Hell — and it’s in the Namib Desert, where the rains are certainly not blessed. We reveal a man who is part historian, part bootlegger, and how CNN put the “b*tch” in an obituary for Michael J. Fox.

    Rock and Roll Hall of Wham! | Save the drama for your Lamas | Saggy balls and Perimenopause

    Paulo takes Dori on a tour of fictional ’80s hospitals, where the nurses were snarky and the doctors were Doogie. We take a look at Phil Collins now as he spends another day in paradise called the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We have a new favourite ’80s power couple who find love over 30 years after they were pin-ups, and Dori shares her rider in case she ever gets stuck down a well. We look at TV spin-offs of the best ’80s movies, as well as Revenge of the Nerds, and “Two ’80s Truths and a Lie” comes with a 2–21 rating.

    Death's Near-Chuck Norris Experience

    We’re breaking format like Chuck Norris broke teeth, as we take a moment to remember the man who had his own line of “Action Jeans.” The perfect jeans for karate kick slap action. With 13 movies in the 80s alone and a projected on-screen body count of over 400, Chuck Norris was a star long before he became the world’s deadliest meme. But because Paulo loves a good lie, there’s still time for a round of Two 80s Truths and a Lie, featuring Joan Jett, Devo, and your favourite 80s phone number.
