    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.

    LEVEL ORANGE ALERT – Noël Opperman has crossed the Pretoria border and is soiling our new couch. He’s here to tell us about the latest edition of The Retro Fair and how he wanted to be Madonna’s boy toy. Paulo is apparently in a sitcom with Tony Danza, while Dori offers to replace Noël’s water-damaged Scope magazines. Michael Jackson was in the dark with a two-headed dwarf, Paulo watched an ’80s virgin lottery, and is Boy George going to Eurovision?

    Don’t waste the Swayze | Will Corey Feldman give us hives? | Enid Blyton Nightmares

    Dori is back from her 80s cruise and we find out how she didn’t waste a single sway(ze), met the Mattress Brothers, and hear about the scariest thing in her cabin. Corey Feldman is a free man, but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t give you hives. And while we find out that he won’t be on stage at the Oscars, he might just be popping up in a seat next to some celebs. We look at things from the 80s that we were irrationally afraid of, which leads us nicely into a David Hasselhoff heavy metal song.

    Twice as Nice Vanilla Ice | CDogg for hire | Whose the Boss, Now?

    Vanilla Ice is back in the charts and he just wants to dance — and for a podcast that can’t play music, there sure is a lot of singing. We discover the original He-Man theme song, and somehow it leads us directly to Michael Jackson and E.T. How much is too much for 20 minutes of CDogg and John, Paul, Ringo and George taking us on a journey into the mind of a young Dori? Michael McDonald is too beardy for a floral shirt, George Michael said “Take That”, and did you know that Paulo forgets the point of Two 80s Truths and a Lie?
