Rick Springfield is moot | There’s penetration here | Whatchoo Talkin bout Bruce Willis
2026/10/23
Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield. Sweet little ditty? Or a creepy guy trying to get into a throuple? Dori and Paulo argue the moot point.
Michael Douglas has put out a memoir and, despite all the sexcapades, we can only ask how he didn't end up Romancing Stallone.
Inspired by The A-Z of the 80s on ultimateclassicrock.com, we put together our own – it's better, and it features Smiley Blue.
Paulo finds a Brat Pack-adjacent movie no one asked for, and there's Two 80s Truths and a Lie: The Bruce Willis Edition.

Did 80s movies predict how AI will kill us | We say the word ‘’peen’’ |
2026/10/02
Who slept with the entire A-Team, and did Murdoch do the helicopter?
Only the hottest ’80s topics are ever discussed on this show!!
Tiffany does a Stevie Nicks impression — will she finally be left alone?
With the news that AI is about to kill us, we wonder if ’80s movies held any clues about what to expect. We find out that it’s less Arnold Schwarzenegger and more Richard Pryor.
Marty Supreme’s soundtrack confuses Dori, and Paulo finds a sequel to Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
No video cassettes were paused during its pool scene.
Plus, Girl you know its true, I divorce you, Adam Lambert saves George Michael, and sitcoms that may not have existed.

No generation broke wind harder | Mr T-Tinted Testicles | The Travolta Meh-mometer
2026/09/18
In the 80s, we tuned people like we tuned our TVs: by rubbing their knobs!
Paulo gets behind an AI trend that wasted a bottle of water in pursuit of seeing himself with a mullet. But is AI really doing more environmental damage than Debbie Gibson's hairspray?
We make time for Mr. T jibba jabba, and no fool is left unpitied, while Dori finally admits that she's not one of those people who has to know things immediately.
When did John Travolta infiltrate the KGB...and Duran Duran? Who is Rob Lowe's mortal enemy? Will we get sued by The B-Team?
And what bedsheets does Cousin Louis Louis Louis have?

Dolly Parton en Die Man van Staal | FeldFest| The Hoff's cod piece blew the budget
2026/08/28
Paulo is back from Portugal with a tan to rival Ridgeley's!
We pay tribute to Dolly Parton and her 80s movie career, where she co-starred with Sly, Burt en Die Man van Staal — but which part was staal?
Corey Feldman's birthday party was a blast... for Corey, while everyone else stood around looking confused.
We wonder: what is a Miniland without the minis? Short answer: no dromedaries, no Dori dramas.
Wham! in China made Dori weep, the Aussie PM is a creep, and the Hoff's codpiece budget was too steep.
All that and more in this triumphant return of That 80s Show.

Rummaging through a Corey Hole | Reading Dolph Lundgren like a porny person | Jumping on the Volkswagen
2026/07/17
It's Corey Feldman's birthday week, and everyone is invited!!!!
As long as you pay the cover charge.
While rummaging through a Corey Hole, we discover his Spotify page, his carefully moderated comment section, his tasteful LA villa, his energy drink brand, and the thing we're all here for.
Whatever it is, it's made of leather.
We meet Michael Jackson's stalker, read fairly innocent Dolph Lundgren quotes over the Emmanuelle soundtrack, and jump onto the Bon Jovi Volkswagen.
Two 80s Truths and a Lie features a moustache, girls having fun in Japan, and the world's most irritating childhood friends.

Trump vs Milli Vanilli | Orko taunts kids of divorce | Upgrading your cherry
2026/07/05
Milli Vanilli, Young MC and C+C Music Factory - ultimate 80s party playlist - or the latest artists to feud with Donald Trump?
Someone needs to stop. Collaborate. And listen.
Divorce became a really hot topic in the 80s, and who better to navigate kids through it than one of TV's favourite dads? And a floating ghost from Masters of the Universe.
Some 80s songs didn't mean what you think they mean, and Paulo found a movie that could have meant so much more - but instead killed a man with a giant set of pyrotechnic bobs.
Two 80s Truths and a Lie rocks you with a VW fact and spends some time in Bangkok.

Michael Jacksons adopted nose | Exploding knob status | Dori wants Dolly coffee
2026/06/18
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
2026/06/07
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.

A Specifically 80s Heist | Corey Feldman Told to Beat It | Don’t Use James Brown’s Toilet
2026/05/22
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.

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
2026/05/01
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?
2026/04/23
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
2026/04/17
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
2026/03/27
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.

Living next door to Tony | Scope Magazines on Marketplace | Vermy The Dragon
2026/03/20
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?
