| 5/22/26 | A Specifically 80s Heist | Corey Feldman Told to Beat It | Don’t Use James Brown’s Toilet | 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.Links:Santarama Mini Land & Jan van Riebeeck Statue (00:03:24): https://web.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10160433653026599&set=gm.584606431122676&idorvanity=293847420198580https://thesewalkingboots.wordpress.com/2013/05/15/santarama-miniland/https://web.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=486060891462309&set=a.471171301709762&id=100064506887860&_rdc=1&_rdrGiant Michael Jackson Statues (00:12:28):https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn0q2krypkroCorey Feldman admin woe: https://www.tmz.com/2026/04/29/corey-feldman-not-at-michael-premiere-due-to-misunderstanding/Animatronic Barflies from "Cheers" : https://www.mentalfloss.com/entertainment/tv/cheers-bar-robots-controversyTwo 80s Truths and a Lie: https://time.com/3629041/james-brown/#That 80s Show, #1980s nostalgia, #South African culture, #Santa's Mini Land, #theme parks, #Jan van Riebeeck, #Michael Jackson statue, #Gold Reef City, #Cresta Ice Rink, #Corey Feldman, #Cheers bars, #animatronic characters, #80s pop culture, #miniature replicas, #historical landmarks, #HIV awareness, #80s trivia, #mobile phones, #GIF invention, #celebrity anecdotes, #heist plans, #family entertainment, #childhood memories, #quirky attractions, #South African landmarks, | — | ||||||
| 5/7/26 | 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.Things we want you to see:Boy George and Culture Club Documentary: https://youtu.be/C8PHbU_qPfY?si=3S6VcpCXn4zsvOoxKnight Rider Declassified: https://wheelhousetv.com/krdeclassifiedKylie Minogue Documentary: https://youtu.be/PKlh1DEbv9I?si=f7rBtkQJ75qvMpC5The Powers of Matthew Star: https://youtu.be/UwSZeYDRd08?si=kxvR9TKTBaqnUFaoJennifer Slept Here (00:21:22): https://youtu.be/_kdzpZflnY0?si=OxfSB9NLhDLBBdatThe Wizard (00:22:52): https://youtu.be/na9_tBeDTK0?si=orf867qiKAx090MCMr. Smith (00:24:15): https://youtu.be/83tW1wy5il4?si=c6H9GTu46KlQHQKsSuper Train (00:25:49): https://youtu.be/wF8A6Yoj8T8?si=icIsS6ICL1NpoFKoWe Got It Made (00:25:52): https://youtu.be/V_bcU03y6FI?si=gfToYm0j14i9viOfThe Master (00:27:57): https://youtu.be/lwI_4fmfocw?si=AEjDcmSfETGrus7sMovie Review: Whitewater Summer: https://youtu.be/_QBmRr7h7Fw?si=z6NjW_8HWaF6T83wJean Claude Van Damme making moves: https://youtu.be/jXRK3PIqBBs?si=5gzAY_RUTSosYEXm#80s pop culture, #That 80s Show, #Boy George, #Culture Club, #80s documentaries, #Knight Rider, #Knight Rider Declassified, #David Hasselhoff, #KITT, #Kylie Minogue, #80s TV shows, #forgotten TV shows, #Houston Knights, #The Powers of Matthew Star, #Jennifer Slept Here, #The Wizard, #Mr. Smith, #Super Train, #We Got It Made, #The Master, #80s nostalgia, #cake recipe books, #Whitewater Summer, #Kevin Bacon, #Sean Astin, #Two 80s Truths and a Lie, #Boney M, #Jean-Claude Van Damme, #1980s music, #1980s movies, #1980s television, #cultural insights, #retro entertainment. | — | ||||||
| 5/1/26 | 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.Jump To:Michael Jackson Biopic "Michael" (00:02:12): https://www.eonline.com/news/1431238/michael-jackson-movie-controversy-what-paris-jackson-more-family-has-said?utm_source=chatgpt.comCorey Feldman's Michael Jackson Impersonation (00:09:18): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bWF4Tm_3SQLittle Golden Book Biographies (00:20:58): https://littlegoldenbooks.com/biographiesEddie and the Cruisers (00:27:29): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nXj8RkP7xQMadonna at Coachella (00:39:15): https://www.tiktok.com/@bitajoon26/video/7630563583402773791?_r=1&_t=ZS-95wUDLOe7KjTwo 80s Truths and a Lie: Hulk Hogan Edition (00:48:39)Hulkster in Heaven: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIoUkoaYPj8Pastmania: https://web.facebook.com/share/p/1JU1JZAGtV/#80s pop culture, #That 80s Show, #Michael Jackson biopic, #Corey Feldman, #Alien Ant Farm, #nostalgia, #early email services, #Hotmail, #Yahoo, #music biopics, #Bohemian Rhapsody, #Rocketman, #streaming music, #Michael Jackson music surge, #Shazam searches, #Little Golden Books biographies, #Prince, #Willie Nelson, # Betty White, # Jim Hensons, # Bruce Springsteen, #Eddie and the Cruisers, #Madonna Coachella performance, #Sabrin Carpenter, #Hulk Hogan documentary, #80s music, #celebrities, #80s movies, #pop culture discussions, #TikTok trends, #music resurgence, #iconic performances, #80s icons, #childhood memories, #entertainment news, #celebrity gossip. | — | ||||||
| 4/23/26 | 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.

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.Dori’s First Cruise Experience (00:01:02) Corey Feldman News (00:17:44) : https://people.com/corey-feldman-finalizes-divorce-ex-wife-courtney-anne-agrees-100k-spousal-support-settlement-1188667880s Childhood Fears (00:22:31): https://ultimateclassicrock.com/1980s-scary-things-kids/ George Michael/Wham!

Dori tells us how she made it a game for one whereas some of the covers suggested it was a game more enjoyed as a ménage à trois.We invent a new social network just for fans of The NeverEnding Story while trying to figure out what make s song an 80s song.Catherine O’ Hara was an 80s legend and not even her trying to run someone over with an ice-cream truck will change our mind.In a no way obvious attempt to get a free cruise, Paulo puts together an 80s Mix Tape that needs to be played on deck.Finally in Two 80s Truths and Lie - R2D2 was slippery when wet, The Muppets encouraged Sex and Violence and Zap it in the hit parade.Mastermind Box Covers & Original Models (00:06:44):https://wearethemutants.com/2017/03/27/cunning-and-logic-the-international-imagery-of-mastermind/https://boardgamegeek.com/image/1032432/mastermindhttps://granapare.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/dscn1854.jpghttps://wearethemutants.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/we-are-the-mutants-grand-mastermind.jpg?w=246https://assets.catawiki.nl/assets/1/a/0/7/a0719580-b4ea-012b-050d-0050569439b1.jpghttps://wearethemutants.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/we-are-the-mutants-mastermind-senha.jpg?w=234https://wearethemutants.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/we-are-the-mutants-royale-mastermind.jpg?w=600Catherine O’Hara Tribute & Situs Inversus:https://people.com/catherine-o-hara-situs-inversus-what-to-know-11896567Scorsese’s After Hours Trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZzb_6LtMjYSeven Minutes in Heaven Movie Review:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlxjeHcRyOI80s Boating & Ocean Playlisthttps://www.msccruises.co.za/cruise-deals/theme-cruises/2025-2026-season/the-80s-and-90s-cruise-2026“Sailing” – Christopher Cross “Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)” – Enya “The Tide Is High” – Blondie “Ship of Fools” – Erasure “Captain of Her Heart” – Double “I Ran (So Far Away)” – A Flock of Seagulls “Kokomo” – The Beach Boys“Caribbean Queen” – Billy Ocean (Sailing on the seven seas - OMDBonus Track “Ocean Size” – Jane’s Addiction Two 80s Truths and a Lie GameJon Bon Jovi was R2D2: https://web.facebook.com/share/v/18A9iG8Ane/ Zibi & Gang - Zap It In The Zibi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90aeEmiLync#Mastermind, #board game, #nostalgia, #70s, #80s, #gameplay, #game pieces, #cover art, #international versions, #Bill Woodward, #Cecilia Fung, #code-breaking game, #colored pegs, #guessing game, #Wordle, #black and white pegs, #Facebook, #childhood memories, #two-player game, #personal anecdotes, #hairdresser, #game box covers, #Asian version, #European version, #Oingo Boingo, #Dead Man’s Party, #80s music, #synth, #Depeche Mode, #Stock Aitken Waterman, #Jennifer Connelly, #teen movies, #Seven Minutes in Heaven, #high school, #politics, #president, #vice president, #Muppets, #novelty songs, #podcast, #social media, #algorithms, #Two 80s truths and lies, #Robert Schroeder, #Roy Balkan. | — | ||||||

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.Jump To:Arcade and Video Game Nostalgia (00:05:40) Home Consoles and 80s Gaming Evolution (00:11:04) Video Game Factoids and 80s Trivia (00:15:50) Sibling Rivalry and Multiplayer Gaming (00:17:40) Space Invaders, Tetris, and Coin Shortages (00:18:59) Pez Bandit and 80s Collectibles (00:21:25) Corey Feldman and 80s Child Stars (00:24:03)Dancing with the Stars Drama (00:26:28) Corey Feldman’s Divorce and Finances (00:32:40) Forgotten 80s Sitcoms and Early TV Roles (00:39:28) Living Dolls and Who’s the Boss?

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.Jump To:Steve Barron: Music Video & Movie Director (00:04:19): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_BarronMovie Review: True Stories (00:09:53): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MIHT9d25wYMovie Review: The Keep (00:16:56): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQKZn3RrinwBack to the Future 40th Anniversary Event (00:26:45): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OFRJ8EaaxPghttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/RaTuNqjP8cEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViAwnptnc48Michael Jackson Biopic Controversy (00:29:33): https://www.imdb.com/news/ni65400742/Two 80s Truths and a Lie (00:31:44)# 1980s # movies # pop culture # Halloween # movie recommendations # Steve Barron # music videos # Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles # Take On Me # David Byrne # True Stories # mockumentary # John Goodman # Michael Mann # The Keep # horror # sci-fi # World War II # Ian McKellen # Tangerine Dream # synth-heavy scores # Back to the Future # anniversary celebration # Michael Jackson biopic # Paris Jackson # Hollywood trivia # Reebok Pump #GoldenGirls #Aha #Take On Me, #The Sun Always Shines on TV, #Hunting High and Low, #Cry Wolf, #Manhattan Skyline, #The Living Daylights, #Crying in the Rain, #Butterfly Butterfly#Adam and the Ants #Antmusic#Bryan Adams #Cuts Like a Knife, #This Time, #Run to You, #Heaven, #Summer of 69#Culture Club #God Thank You Woman#David Bowie #As the World Falls Down, #Underground#Def Leppard #Let's Get Rocked#Dire Straits #Money for Nothing, #Heavy Fuel#Dolly Parton #Potential New Boyfriend#Eddy Grant #Electric Avenue, #I Don't Wanna Dance, #Living on the Front Line#Fleetwood Mac #Hold Me#Fun Boy Three #It Ain't What You Do#Heaven 17 #Penthouse and Pavement, #Let Me Go, #Temptation#The Human League #Don't You Want Me, #Love Action, #Keep Feeling Fascination#The Jam #Strangetown, #When You're Young, #Going Underground, #Dreams of Children#Joe Jackson #Steppin' Out, #Real Men, #Breaking Us in Two#Level 42 #Heaven in My Hands#Madonna #Burning Up#Michael Jackson #Billie Jean#Natalie Cole & #Nat King Cole #Unforgettable#Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark #Maid of Orleans#Paul McCartney #Pretty Little Head#Rod Stewart #Baby Jane#Secret Affair #Time for Action, #My World, #Sound of Confusion#Sheena Easton #For Your Eyes Only, #Telephone#Simple Minds #Promised You a Miracle#Skids #Iona#Styx #Haven't We Been Here Before#Supertramp #Cannonball, #Better Days#Tears for Fears #Pale Shelter#Toto #Africa, #Rosanna, #Stranger in Town#ZZ Top #Rough Boy, #Sleeping Bag | — | ||||||

| 10/24/25 | Smelly Jean | Thirst Trap of Joy | KISS My Frank-N-Furter | 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.”Jump To:Diane Keaton’s Music Video Direction (00:02:11): https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/us/diane-keaton-directed-belinda-carlisle-music-videos-in-1980s-before-film-career/articleshow/124492616.cms?from=mdrMichael Jackson’s Nickname (00:07:55): https://people.com/lionel-richie-says-pal-michael-jackson-was-nicknamed-smelly-for-poor-hygiene-1182108780s TV Shows: Best of Each Year (00:10:24): https://screenrant.com/best-show-1980s-each-year/Bulky Bartokomous: https://pagesix.com/2024/06/29/entertainment/bronson-pinchot-reveals-the-catalyst-for-his-wellness-journey/Movie Review: Mio in the Land of Faraway (00:14:40): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMlZHZ8fKXYMovie Review: Never Too Young to Die (00:21:17): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4o4bQiBYt8MTV Trivia: Two 80s Truths and a Lie (00:32:22): https://classicsdujour.com/25-interesting-facts-about-the-launch-of-mtv/#1980s pop culture, #Diane Keaton, #Belinda Carlisle, #Heaven is a Place on Earth, #I Get Weak, #MTV, #music videos, #YouTube, #TikTok, #Michael Jackson, #Smelly Y, #yacht rock, #Kenny Loggins, #David Hasselhoff, #Susanna Hoffs, #Magnum P.I., #Hill Street Blues, #Dynasty, #Cheers, #Knight Rider, #The A-Team, #Miami Vice, #The Cosby Show, #Golden Girls, #MacGyver, #Perfect Strangers, #Star Trek, #Mystery Science Theater 3000, #Seinfeld, #Quantum Leap, #Scandinavian fantasy film, #Mio in the Land of Faraway, #Christopher Lee, #cult classic, #Never Too Young to Die, #John Stamos, #Gene Simmons, #Vanity, #Robert Englund, #campy movies, #80s nostalgia, #Two 80s Truths and a Lie, #MTV trivia, #Blondie, #Rapture, #Reo Speedwagon, #The Buggles, #pop culture icons, #80s films, #childhood memories, #gender identity, #language evolution, #cult appeal, #campy cinema, #hidden gems. | — | ||||||
