Last Christmas may have lost the battle for Christmas Number 1 this year, but in reality – The Best Song Ever™ doesn’t need trinkets!!

Not when it makes bank every year!

We also find out how Manchester United’s inconsistency in the 80s may just have led to its creation.

God only knows the genre-defining songs being created thanks to their current iteration.

We remember Rob Reiner and his impact on 80s cinema, and Paulo pays the ultimate tribute by finally watching a kissing movie that he’s avoided due to his inconceivable mistrust of Spaniards (he finally gets why that’s funny).

We bring you some Stranger Things audio accompaniments and Two 80s Truths and a Lie makes us realise classic rock is now from the 80s, wonder what stunt the Hoff is up to, and if we Cher(ed) fake news?

The wheels for a Last Christmas three-peat are in locomotion, and we’re prepared to go to war with Kylie over it!

A hop into Howick hurls Paulo into a hole of hard-hitting anti-apartheid hits — but will it make him heed the hedonistic call of Sun City?

Hell, yes!

Dori loves Paul Rudd’s  beard and dedicates a soundtrack to it, while Paulo finds out what Sean Connery was up to between James Bond and The Untouchables.

A special episode streamed live from Rage Expo onto (checks notes) TikTok.

Young people found that interesting, so who are we to argue?

The Curator Supreme of all things retro, Noel Opperman, joined us for a special show that made sure all the gamers around us knew that without the ’80s, there would be no video games.

Paulo impresses no one with stories of how he finished Contra and Super Mario Bros. on one life, while Noel spent a disproportionate amount of time in the 80s on the roof trying to watch SABC.

Shots are fired at CDogg AGAIN — but Corey knows he has supporters in us.

Paulo and Noel talk about Alyssa Milano for a while. We’re sure it had something to do with something else… but Alyssa Milano — am I right?

Paulo wraps up the movies so bad not even he could finish them. The gang agrees on James Brolin’s eyebrows; Paulo and Dori do not agree on Withnail & I.

Obligatory Stranger Things content is included for all those precious search words, and a round of 2 ’80s Truths and a Lie proves that Dori’s 20-year-honed ability to spot when Paulo is lying wins again.

Jessica Rabbit fan fiction is about to enter the mainstream — and it’s going to be even sexier than anything Sora could imagine.

While comparing sitcoms and s*itcoms, Paulo remembers how much he hates flashback episodes, but at least we all grew up to be Al Bundy.

An R.B.F. brings Dori to The Golden Girls, and Paulo unpacks a movie so bad it’s actually dangerous to watch.

Last Christmas is already in the Top 40, which means the imitators have reared their heads — and we wrap up with Two 80s Truths and a Lie: The Cheers Edition.

We all want to live in Milli Vanilli Land, where dreadlocks are made of Fizzers and the rivers run with the tears of “what-if” careers.
Is Fab finally going to get Milli Vanilli the Grammy they deserve — and will it upset the Dalai Lama?

You know who’s never been in a superhero movie? Charlie Sheen. But we just found the character he was born to play.

What do Whoopi Goldberg and a nightclub in Sunninghill have to do with Dori’s movie — and why is Paulo reviewing an instructional video on how to raise the Titanic?

Far be it from us to use Gremlins 3 as clickbait, but can Dori separate the little guys from Paulo’s 80s lies?

Being chased by hundreds of Marty McFlys is a fantasy only Dori — and maybe Lorraine McFly — could have, and we find out how it came true at the real Twin Pines Mall.

We rediscover the man who directed nearly every iconic music video of the 80s and brought the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Coneheads to the big screen.

Oh, how the latex manufacturers of the 90s rejoiced.

Dori uncovers a Once in a Lifetime movie, while Paulo finds out how Sir Ian McKellen's first flop gave us Miami Vice.

Here’s an 80s kid test: complete this Roxette lyric — “I’m gonna get dressed…”
If you didn’t say “for some sex” we can’t be friends.

But you should still listen to this unintentionally creepy show as we discover that Suzanne Somers is definitely not a pleasure bot.

Jumping on a bandwagon 40 years too late, Stranger Things resurrects ALF and another That 80s Show favourite.

Dori has caught Paulo’s “so bad it’s good” movie bug, while Paulo brings a movie with a behind-the-scenes story so good it could be a perfect Hart to Hart plotline.

Finally, Two 80s Truths and a Lie dives into scary music, demonic dolls, and a Craven misuse of power.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the 80s, Dori takes a break from her matric exams so we can bring you a show that uncovers the link between Diane Keaton and Belinda Carlisle.

Lionel Richie has been discussing Michael Jackson’s hygiene habits — just WHAT was he doing at bath time?

We look at the best TV show released in every year of the 80s, discuss Balki bulking up, and Dori wants to have a word with J.K. Rowling.

What happens when you put Gene Simmons in a Frank-N-Furter cosplay and invite Uncle Jesse, Freddy Krueger, Vanity, and a kind-of James Bond? You get a movie so insane that it ends with a man biting another man’s boob and you're not even shocked by that stage.

Have mercy.

MTV is dead — and we remember its life with an MTV-themed round of “Two 80s Truths and a Lie.”

***CORRECTION. DUE TO MIDDLE-AGE BRAIN ROT - PAULO KEPT CALLING HIS MOVIE RECOMMENDATION, ''PARADISE RESORT'' - IT'S ''PRIVATE RESORT'' AND HE'S AN IDIOT.

CHANGING IT WOULD HAVE DELAYED THIS SHOW AND THE 80S WAIT FOR NO ONE***

Want some Corey Feldman? We’ve got Corey Feldman—and his early exit from Dancing with the Stars.

You want Michael J. Fox? We’ve got Michael J. Fox and his tell-all documentary. Dori swears she heard some stories for the first time—even though Paulo has told them repeatedly.

If our own co-host doesn’t listen to our nonsense, what hope do we have?

You want Johnny Depp? We’ve got Johnny Depp—and his quaalude-popping, horny granny.

You want Steve Guttenberg? Hell, we’ve got him too—with a story that is so Mahoney.

You want Rick Astley, Kylie Minogue, Billy Ocean and Sonia? Well, we don’t have them… and you’ll have to listen to find out why.

Paulo brings you a movie for people who found Police Academy too intellectual and Pat Morita too distinguished — while both Teen Wolf movies catch strays from their lead actors.

Luckily, Quentin Tarantino is still a fan.

It’s Three 80s Truths and a Lie — The Last Dragon Edition, but Dori struggles to get The Glow.

Hop into the Scooby Gang’s Mystery Machine because we're uncovering truths all over the 1980s.

First up, the latest from Freddie Mercury’s secret daughter as her tell-all book hits the shelves.

Then we dive into the murky world of royalty payments to find out where Cocoon has disappeared to — and why we can no longer see nude 80-year-olds...in that movie atleast.

Dori recommends a movie where rich people feel sorry for themselves, while Paulo brings you Roadie — a Meat Loaf-fronted shenanigan fest about sex, drugs, and rock & roll with no sex or drugs.

We also find out if Charlie Sheen sat on a pilot’s lap and if Michael Jackson’s patent leather moccasins, were patented.

Who worked harder this week—Kenny G or Doja Cat’s boob tape? The team at Dori & Dias Private Dicks are on the case—but first, they have to solve the mystery of the 80s concert that could be Rickrolling us.

Are Kylie, Rick Astley, Billy Ocean, and—most importantly—Sonia heading to Durban? We get out of our dreams to try and find out.

Corey Feldman in dancing with the stars and it's made us hate Zac Efron's brother.

Is there such a thing as too much moustache? Doesn’t matter—we find the perfect amount with a review of Matt Houston so deep, we came out smelling like a chaps-wearing Texas oilman.

But be warned: the Smirks per Minute are dangerously high.

Meanwhile, Paulo has a business opportunity for Dori as Bigmouth Morrissey strikes again.

A “place for his rifle,” “fighting a dragon,” and “whipping yourself in the river” — none are Urban Dictionary euphemisms; all found their way into this week’s show.

Will Paulo and Dori witness a crime before the show is over?

They pass the time with some Dutch Golden Girls in The Hague, where nobody knows your name.

How do you say kaftan in the Netherlands?

Dori saw Lady Chatterley’s Lover, Paulo saw a man’s bum in a bucket — no one won that day.

If not for The Hoff’s charisma, we’d have had a very different Knight Rider.

And what exactly was on the Pope’s 80s playlist?

Dori can’t do simple maths, but she’s off the hook because she was distracted by Simon’s Le Bon Bons.

Find out about his dramatic ocean rescue—and how it involved a man named Skip.

Thomas Anders just loves being Thomas Anders. The only thing he loves more is young Thomas Anders and his over-sized Nora necklace.

In our movie recommendations, one film knocked us out, while the other involved monkey spanking - until the monkeys spanked back.

Finally, we reminisce about the stores that are no longer with us—and discover where the bodies are buried.

This is the one where Paulo and Dori create two great ’80s sitcoms and one movie sequel that definitely would have been rented back in the day.

We kick off the show by slapping our Willis during Diff’rent Strokes. Then we assess ’80s sitcom dads and wonder if we’d still be friends after being adopted.

Dori’s movie features a computer that really wants to hurt you, while Paulo’s has more baby lotion than plot.

Finally, if you got fired as a kid but ended up as Jae Bae – did you really lose?

Paulo feels XXXtra Strong, while Dori can’t believe the price of Chappies.

We uncover some of the weirdest sitcoms from the '80s — and surprisingly, none of them carried the bizarre 2-21 age restriction enjoyed by Emmanuelle 1–12.

Dori reviews a Shifty podcast, while Paulo finds out what happens when Monty Python, Cheech & Chong, Mel Brooks’ troupe, and David Bowie play pirate dress-up.

Finally, Rod Stewart really shouldn’t be allowed near ChatGPT — and The Pogues are definitely going to ruin our Christmas.

Laura Hamilton is back on the scene — now we know we're safe. Everyone in the 80s wanted to be held in those Sarah Connor arms.

Tomorrowland lost a stage in a fire… and you'll never guess who came to their rescue. The tannies of the 80s are grabbing their Bibles.

Dori has a recommendation about nothing, and Paulo is hunting for a movie with an even weirder time travel device.

We also realise no one needs a new Rubik's Cube, Paulo uncovers a new fetish, and The Hoff will forever be the most-watched man on TV.

Men Without Hats are back with a synthy love letter to the ’80s — and a masterclass in AABBCCDD rhyming.

Remember when the biggest fear in the ’80s was getting strapped to a lie detector? Gary Coleman’s wife took one to clear her name over his death — and the results were shakier than Mr. Drummond doing the Moonwalk.

Paulo reviews Airwolf before Airwolf , and we dig up an ’80s Superman TV show nobody asked for.

Paulo and Dori come to you from a secret German bunker — The Hoff is down here, and so are Nena and Alphaville.

But after this show, we don't think we'll be so big in Berlin.

We right some wrongs from last week's show, which includes more sexy sax music than we remember — and dead gnomes.

How many '80s movies were made on cocaine? The easier question is: how many weren't?

We find out how Bill Murray made Hunter S. Thompson look silly, why Paulo hates City of Angels, and what happens when you slow down Kylie Minogue.

Finally, we're voting for our favourite '80s ballad, and Paulo is tempted to give it to an animated cat.

If you have a spare $40 lying around, you might be able to get Corey Feldman to inscribe your buttocks — just bring your own camera.

The Simpsons have “killed off” Marge, so Paulo revisits three other 80s TV show deaths: one that traumatised him, one that confused him, and one that, well... titillated him.

Paulo’s movie recommendation features some bizarre cameos, while Dori manages to upset Yoko Ono — something we can probably all get behind.

And finally, we uncover Tony Danza’s tattoo and Rob Lowe’s most 80s moment. We don't know if it involves a saxophone.
