That 80s Show
Shoulder pads, Rubik’s cubes, luminous clothes, angsty movies... and of course loads of factoids. Paulo and Dori are living in the past - and loving it!
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…
Retro Fair Recap | Whats the story morning Dori | Never Double Dragon without a safe word

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 2009. We discover how much Martin Kemp's clothes…

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…
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…
Justified FOMO…MD | Almost Roxette | Mullet Shirts | Ringo Starr in a loincloth
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…
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…
NO J 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…
