Balki Bartokomous is no longer a perfect stranger | Queen's B | 80s water parks tried to kill us

Balki Bartokomous is on everyone’s podcast — so why isn’t he on ours?Maybe it’s because we know nothing about Fred Savage and the brother from his mother.We marvel at an ’80s star’s chameleon-like ability to blend in — but by George, give us a Time and we’ll figure out who that boy is.Dori takes us to Action Park — and even though we never went there in the ’80s, every Gen Xer went to a water park that tried to kill them and trap their mullets in the pool inlet valves.Finally we wonder: why would a time-travelling teenager try a Tab?Jump To:Bronson Pinchot Discussion (00:02:02): George's Appearance (00:12:06): Mercury's Secret Daughter (00:16:26): and Popeye (22:19): Park (26:56): Movie Introduction (00:46:05): Trivia Segment (00:52:37): pop culture, 80s Show, Pinchot, Strangers, Hills Cop, George, Mercury, daughter, testing, , music, television, , Costanza, Williams, , Park, Action Park, Vice, movies, memories, parks, icons, , , history, culture podcast, figures, trends, podcast, culture references, stories, , fashion, impact, entertainment.

Danish Biker Gangs | The White Duke & The Princess | Neon Noir

Last week, Dori told Paulo about Freetown Christiania, but she left out the part about the awesomely named Danish biker gangs—so we’re remedying that.Thanks to You and Huisgenoot magazines, we thought we’d seen every photo of 80s Princess Diana—but one has been released after 40 years, and we reveal just why the Palace kept it under wraps.John Cleese is no longer funny, Dori explores Neon Noir, and Pierce Brosnan is an Irishman with a Germano-Italian-French accent that borders on Dutch as he hunts Adam Ant.Finally, Paulo tests Dori’s knowledge of 80s lyrics—even if he had to include that forsaken Toto song.Jump To: Biker Gangs in Christiania (00:02:39): Diana's Treatment in the 1980s (00:04:30): Cleese's Recent Controversies (00:09:41): Vice Documentary (00:14:14): Brosnan's accent in Nomads (00:30:43): on 80s Music (00:40:44):

Danish Juices | Dennis Hopper getting reverse sucked out | Going Cher-less

**This Podcast is part of the South African Podcasters Guild and has taken a pledge to be a cool podcaster. Read the pledge here: & AMH on SNL? WTF?!?! An 80s something Paulo didn't know and even though Robert Downey Junior as George Michael wasn't funny at all, it was still better than Doolittle.Paulo recommends an 80s teen time travel movie that would be the best 80s teen time travel movie - if Back to the Future 1, Back to the Future 2, Peggy Sue Got Married, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure or Flight of the Navigator didn't exist.You'll never guess who the richest actress from the 80s is and imagine ignoring the unknown opening act at an 80s Hall & Oates concert - only to look back from the bar and see that the lead singer is Cher.Jump To: - Robert Downey Jr. and Anthony Michael Hall on SNL (00:01:44): - Christiania Podcast (00:12:28): - My Science Project Overview (00:23:02): - Jamie Gertz's Wealth (00:31:19): - Cher's Rock Band (00:33:05): culture, Downey Jr., Michael Hall, Night Live, , Pack, Candles, Breakfast Club, Than Zero, , , , community, use, movement, , power rock band, , % Invisible, -fi teen movies, and Ted's Excellent Adventure, , Last Starfighter, of the Navigator, Science Project, billionaires, Winfrey, Gertz, , Rose, industry, landscape, , , of 80s stars, , , .

Being milked by Bob Geldof | Hey, it's John Stamos | Rapping with the Coreys

Welcome to That 80s Show, where it always tastes like Mello-Yello and Live Aid 40 is going to make sure every day is Christmas.Paulo watched a little-known 80s Rom-Com, but it raised some awkward questions about what turns a demon on.There is only one person who would be offended by being compared to John Stamos, and we find out about the poor tour guide who came across him.We have a Michael Bolton health update, and Dori is going to spend all the money in her BoB T account trying to get Corey Haim's phone number.Jump to: Live Aid Musical "Just for One Day" (00:04:05)Plot Overview of "My Demon Lover" (00:09:41): Valentine (19:55): Identity: John Stamos (21:10): on Full House (24:30): Bolton's Health Update (27:15): Haim and Corey Feldman Hotline (32:00):

80s games that made Leisure Suit Larry blush | Dori wouldn’t forgive Elton John | Face-Hoff

This week we found a full guava roll in our lunch box and hate we can get hot cross buns whenever we want.

Madonna has forgiven Elton John, but is he really sorry?Dori recommends a Netflix show that will make you so happy you’ll do the dance of joy, while Paulo is fascinated by Andy Garcia’s greasy ponytail.We end the show discussing a pair of Face-Hoffs, one over a will, the other over an upside-down yoga mat.Jump to:Banned Video GamesBachelor Party Game Overview (00:06:49): Revenge Game Overview (00:10:06): 'Em and Eat 'Em Game Overview (00:13:57): and Elton John's Feud (00:18:00): of "The Residence" (00:29:04): Million Ways to die (00:35:21): (00:43:03): culture, , , , Keaton, , Nicholson, Ledger, , Pfeiffer, video games, , Party, 's Revenge, 'Em and Eat 'Em, game history, video games, regulations, feuds, , John, , algorithm, mystery series, Minogue, Jackman, , Pinchot, Million Ways to Die, Bridges, film, Ashby, Stone, Hasselhoff, news, dynamics, , , .

Sending Your National Lampoon to Club Tropicana | A Poo in George Michael’s Toilet | Don't stare too long at stuffed Speedos

Paulo knows credit card scammers from the ’80s – and it was tough back then with the little “shook shook” machine.We hear from Jean-Claude Van Andrew Tate while Dori channels Living & Loving – but this edition includes hairy men and Benji.Plastic surgery changed The Hoff’s life, and Paulo still wants to poo in George Michael’s toilet.And finally… was Madonna really in The Breakfast Club?

Wigging out over Dolph | Val Kilmer's Verandah | Paul Young says don't take the stairs in Santorini

A lo-fi version of the show this week, as Dori had a bumper bashing that did not lead to Adventures in Babysitting-style shenanigans.Dolph Lundgren dons a wig and teases Paulo, while Dori is intrigued by the most banned movie of all time — which just happens to be from the '80s and also happens to sound like a Berlin techno club.We take the time to remember Val Kilmer's most '80s — and '80s-adjacent — movies. Plus, we recap all the lovely acts of charity performed by George Michael, which raised the question: £25,000 or a cappuccino with Georgios?We also find out that the crowd at a Journey concert just goes on and on and on… while Paul Young goes nowhere without holding onto the railings.Jump to: - Dolph Lundgren is a tease (00:02:40) - Silent Album Protest (00:05:00) - Necromantic (00:10:30) - Val Kilmer Tribute (00:15:25) - George Michael's Generosity (00:30:10) - Journey Concert Fire (00:34:36) - Paul Young's Injury (00:36:14)

Boomers Day Out in Vienna | Post-Sam Malone | The Hoff has crabs

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.Sections: - Let's Rock Johannesburg - Midge Ure/ The Thompson Twins (00:02:33) - 80s Movie and Song Connections (00:15:35) : - The Pickup Artist (00:27:01) : - A Fine Mess (00:36:18): - Q Lazzarus Revelation (00:49:11): - David Hasselhoff's Estate (00:56:22): - Hoff Crabs Discovery (01:01:39): music, review, , Powers, Alter, Twins, , concerts, behavior, , experience, Park, performances, 80s artists, memories, impact, movies, associations, #"16 Candles," #"The Breakfast Club," #"Back to the Future," Loggins, #"The Pickup Artist," Downey Jr., Ringwald, , music, energy, experiences, attire, revival, connection, atmosphere, anecdotes, appeal, years, legacy, tone.

80s Grammy Snubs | Eres El Hoff | Killed by Mello-Yello

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?

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.

How many Bananaramas can you fit in a VW | Elton John's still standing | Who's the doppelgänger

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.

We change our mind about #BandAid40 | Gymnastics, mullets, karate | The last Grace Jones headline you'd expect

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.

Do they know it's inappropriate after all? Band Aid is back for a 40th-anniversary nightmare mash-up. While we love an '80s supergroup, we all know better now—or do we? We uncover what Tim Curry was doing to Freddie Mercury's bushes and explore the meaning behind the lyrics of Karma Chameleon. Spoiler: the phrase “Calmer Chameleon” does not appear anywhere. Dori reminisces about The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show, but all Paulo wants to know is: how does Snoopy poop? Surely, he's above popping a squat in the backyard? Paulo uses sound effects to review the film Lady Terminator. Who knew a dick kick sounded like that? Finally, we share our Christmas wish lists. Dibs on the evil George Michael throw cushion! For a fantastic selection of gifts for the '80s fan in your life, visit Retro Fair. They even have a Batman button just like the one Paulo shoplifted from Woolworths when he was nine.

Madonna would never say | Dori's Dalliance | Taken for a Dino-Ride | As fun as sand

Whose been kissing Madonna's brother? It's a Careless Whisper and the only living person would never admit to being jilted. An 80s frontman takes a swing at Taylor Swift. We do not want to be his social media manager right now. Did we brainstorm a more interesting Flash Gordon remake and Dori has been flirting with other 80s podcasts. When she realises how few awards they've won, she'll be back. Remember the TV Show, Adderley? Raise your left-hand if you do. Paulo found a hidden Sly Stallone gem that has it all - Billy Dee Williams, Rutger Hauer, Sly dressed as a little old lady. Someone needs to take the internet away from him. Finally, how did the Toy Hall of Fame (yes, a real thing) bring up Paulo's child-hood trauma? Find out at the end of the show. And it's a lot more interesting than playing with sand.

Hunting for Hörfest | Slutty E.T. | Workin’ for a merkin | T and T on TV

Lost-core meets Hardcore as Paulo and Dori tie up a loose end from a past show. Two mysterious ‘’80s’’ songs appeared on the internet and the sleuths got to work. Sleuths and pervs. Halloween costumes got us having odd thoughts about E.T. as well as Roger and Jessica Rabbit’s children! Humans with rabbit ears or rabbits with human ears?!? Paulo hasn’t slept since. Dori confused the internet with her movie recommendation and Paulo just confused himself. When a main stream movie couldn’t get a lead actress due to the amount of full frontal nudity and a person on set focused on making a merkin - you know you have our interest. What 80s song would your drunk uncle dance to at your wedding? We find out thanks to Spotify and Mr T had TWO shows in the 80s where his character is jailed for a crime he didn’t commit, so if you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him, maybe you need a bowtie. Dori beats Paulo in an 80s quiz and sucks his life force….out his mouth!

Defrost Mr Ridgeley, it’s about time | Johnny 5 vs an Elon Musk killbot | The errant willy that didn’t stop believing

It’s November the First and if the question is, “Can I start playing Last Christmas?’’, the answer is, “Why did you stop?’’. Paulo is not afraid of Elon Musk’s killbots, he has the best 80s robots - and V.I.C.I. on his side. Dori doesn’t want to see an American Psycho remake, less Patrick Bateman and more Jason Bateman & The Dregs of Society. Paulo admits something about Robin Williams and The Hoff has made us want an electric car.

Whatchoo talkin' bout Gary | Surely the funniest movie of all time | Back to the Future Day | Freddy Krueger scared himself

Don't you forget about The Breakfast Club sequel. We didn't but the internet tried to trick us. It's doccie time with the life story of Gary Coleman and the death stories of 80s hair band members. The resurrection theme continues in Dori's movie of the week while Paulo's movie is so silly it's almost art. As we celebrate we examine the technology that came true and the ones that never materialised. We're looking at you, hoverboards. Finally Freddy Krueger even scared the crap out of himself and made an entire generation distrustful of anyone in a green and red striped jersey.

Blame it on the Menendez Brothers | The Seinfeld Cast in the 80s | How an obvious cult inspired Footloose

Milli Vanilli are back in the charts for the first time in over 30 years, and you gotta blame it on something. In less murderous brother news - Paulo reveals the names of the little dinosaurs from Bubble Bobble which prompts us to try to name their girlfriends with sub-par results. What were the Seinfeld cast up to in the 80s just before they became mega-stars, and Paulo thought Cheetara was the only scantily-clad, cat-like humanoid he had eyes for...until he watched Rock and Rule. To wrap up we wonder how Tiffany is going to imagine her 80s hits and realise that a cult may have inspired Footloose.

Dirty Decks | Is Wombling legal? | 80s dogs were the worst | Don't be an old Josh

Nothing like a dirty old 80s deck to get the show started! Paulo wanted Michael Knight to be his dad and Thomas Anders is a dzaddy. 80s TV shows had terrible endings especially Three's Company, so Dori fixed it. We remember the Wombles and find out that Wombling is legal but frowned upon even though it doesn't involve burrowing or trash.

Don't tell Corey | Bon Jovi gets his hair halo | Watch out for the meat mouse

!!Warning!! This episode contains some outrageous Afrikaans euphemisms! Paulo and Dori are joined by Noel Opperman, The Curator Supreme of the Pretoria Retro Fair for a deep dive into Liewe Heksie, among other puppet related things. We dispute the denials about a Goonies sequel - we just think they don't want Corey Feldman to show up. Jon Bon Jovi saves someone who was living on a prayer, Dori tries to hurry love fro the sake of finishing a Plex movie and Paulo has the Munchies.

Don't @ Lou Ferrigno | Morrissey vs The Pope | Copyright Theft Auto

Along with hulking muscles, Paulo has another thing in common with Lou Ferrigno - neither of them know their social media log ins. Morrissey must have a new publicist because he's back in the news and this time he's taking on The Vatican. Dori finds a tenuous link for her ''80s'' movie recommendation but it involves Jamiroquai so it was allowed - meantime Paulo makes a huge shout about Spaceballs.

Paulo and Dori took a hit of nostalgia crack at The Pretoria Retro Fair and talk about the frustration of booking out an unwound VHS, arcade game survival tactics, oysters in the sun and finding The Lost Boys in the bathroom. Paulo tracked down The Hoff's song with Patricia Lewis and it's more spectacular than he remembered.

BONUS EPISODE | That 80s Show meets Noël Opperman. Curator of The Pretoria Retro Fair.

The power of nostalgia is strong and smells like a family-sized bottle of Brut aftershave. So it doesn't take long for fans of retro to sniff each other out. The Pretoria Retro Fair is a celebration of 70s, 80s and 90s pop-culture and Paulo invited Noël Opperman to talk about the nuts and bolts of the fair but also the power of nostalgia to connect people to a time they thought they lost. Noël schools Paulo on the finest of 80s Afrikaans kids programming and they both speculate on the serial killer vibes given off my Angela Lansbury. The Pretoria Retro Fair happens on Saturday 31 August. That 80s Show will be there and so should you. Get the details here: www.retrofair.co.za. Mina Moo will thank you.

Paulo and Dori mention two separate 80s celebs' nipples before we hit the three-minute mark… It’s going to be one of those shows. We start on a slip-slioppery slope before adopting the mantra WWJLD—What Would Johnny Lawrence Do? We ask whether you would buy pants from Brooke Shields or would you prefer her genes. We talk about "Jacked" Gyllenhaal in the Roadhouse remake, question if Kevin Bacon was all that, and Paulo hits a literal low with his movie of the week. Breakdancing and Flava Flav bring the 80s to the Olympics and can Paulo guess Dori's star sign based on her favourite 80s movies?

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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.

No Jay Simpson | Science says music was better in the 80s | Let down by Ozzy Osbourne

We look back at OJ Simpson's 80s ''movie'' career. He could have been the Terminator but instead...well, that joke is even beneath us. Science says 80s music was better, Dori misses the Vietnam War and Paulo was tricked by Condorman. We wonder if This is Spinal Tap 2 will turn it up to 12, while the NeverEnding Story remakes give us a sinking feeling. Has anyone asked what Limahl thinks?

That 80s Show | Where are the Police Academy cadets now | Don in a Heartbeat

Beatboxing for Simon Cowell, opening for Nirvana and a 1 -man stage show - we find out what the cast of Police Academy got up to when they handed in their badges. Dori recommends a movie-not-movie that starred Don Johnson, Giancarlo Esposito, Lori Singer, Sandahl Bergman, Luiz Guzman, David Carradine and Willie Nelson - that wasn't a movie at all. Another round of ''Guess the 80s song by the first line'' that includes a brutal Rick Roll.

That 80s Show | Now that's what I don't call music | A mouse walks into a bar. Everyone knows his name.

Paulo and Dori will not let a lack of musical ability stop them from rising up the 80s charts as AI and Dolph Lundgren's nipples, come to the rescue. We'd only buy a Thundercats Lego playset if they fully leaned into ''Thundercats Leg-ho'' and Mickey Mouse shows up in the last 80s sitcom you'd expect. If you haven't already - give us a like on That 80s Show SA on Facebook.
