That 80s Show SA

If you were a kid in the 80s and ignored safety advice from Michael J. Fox and both Batemans - did you have the guts to ignore the A-Team? Has a sitcom spin-off ever worked? We find two that definitely didn't. Plus more from randy John Stamos and his steamy memoire, what would you find if you rummaged through George Michael's pockets and subscribe now to get our interview with Phil Joffe from Body Beat! As always everything in this show pops up on That 80s Show SA on Facebook. That 80s Show SA is the 2023 APVA Award Winner for Best Music Podcast, a nominee for Best Online Radio Show in the SA Radio Awards and a proud South African Podcasters Guild Podcast.

OMG we’re going to see OMD and we'er a Dilly Dias and a Dilly Dori   Dori and Paulo both have an outrageous tale to tell -  one that involves John Stamos and a sex duvet the other, a killer kiss that led to someone Kevin Baconing, Jason Bateman.   We find more reasons to hate 80s studio execs before wondering how the world went so wrong seeing that we were raised by Michael Knight.   Everything we talk about on this show can be found on That 80s Show SA on Facebook.

Call Corbin Bernsen - That 80s Show are getting into the legal shenanigans behind the Cabbage Patch Kids. Paulo passes out at the thought of Jean-Claude Van Damme in a He-Man movie, and Dori is hooked on podcasts in this week's entertainment recommendation. And against all odds we find out who was the voice of the 80s. Everything we discuss on this show can be found on That 80s Show SA on Facebook.

Paulo loved George and Me, until he had to read it like a peasant. People keep making 80s reboots, no one wants them, not even a Short Circuit one - unless they rectify ''that'' issue. Dori has a viewing recommendation that's hilariously criminal, while Paulo explores a John Travolta and Olivia Newton bomb. The Hoff has a new show and an even better play on his name. Everything you hear on this show can be found on That 80s Show SA on Facebook.

80s legends U2 had a bloody good Sunday when they opened the Las Vegas Sphere, but Dori is still mad at them for having the audacity to give her an album for free. Richard Simmons was only big in the States because they didn't have Body Beat. Now we have a new mission: reunite Body Beat. Finally, communistic chewing gum cards provoke Paulo into a Public Service Announcment. Everything you hear on the show can be found on That 80s Show SA on Facebook.

Paulo convinces Dori to love Italo-Disco via Germany, it kind of works. We then take a look at the best foreign films of the 80s - Paulo is let down by Kiss of the Spider Woman and Dori has seen most of them. We get excited about upcoming 80s documentaries and Paulo imagines a Cabbage Patch kid in Madonna's birth canal.

Hopefully it's a better week for that 80s Show than it's been for That 70s Show and appropriately Dori takes us to the 90s. We talk about 80s things selling for a lot of money, 80s things that lost a lot of money, a movie that may or may not have been broadcast on Red Nose Day, Burt Reynolds being inappropriate with Loni Anderson and how Priscilla Presley inspired Depeche Mode. Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook.

Paulo is back in the bedroom - after his nightmare about Jamie Lee Curtis, this week he has a problem with a Delorean bed. How does Tom Wilson - the guy who played uber-bully, Biff Tannen - handle all the questions about BBTF? Through song. When we called ourselves That 80s Show, we didn't specify the 1980s as we go back a few hundred years to discover Bardcore and Dori deciphers your personality based on your favourite 80s band. Regarding the Bardcore tracks we in no way intend to derive income from other people's work - we want to bring it to a new audience.

Paulo hates talking about dreams - but he has to tell you about his vendetta against an 80s scream queen. Chevy Chase is on everyone's hate list and he just cemented his place in ours after we discovered his album of (s)hits. Terrible movie recommendations that includes Andrew Dice Clay and Alyssa Milano and another round of Two 80s Truths and a Lie. Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook.

Paul Reuben passes away and Paulo links it to the Hoff - and honestly, truth is stranger than the fictional reality show we created. Tik Tok has been duped by Zepotha, we're just here for the promise of Synth-Wave. Dori visits the Costa Del Sol and finds a Town Called Malice, Paulo heads down a Fritz the Cat rabbit hole - which wasn't part of the sequel - and our new favourite song about a Fast Car, is our old favourite song about a Fast Car. Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook. This show originally plays out with music that we have to remove from the podcast - here are the songs we spoke about and played: Respectable - Mel & Kim Fast Car - Tracey Chapman

Due to no fault of his own, Paulo did not win an 80s quiz evening. He conducts an internal audit. We examine the many reasons why Paulo and Ryan Reynolds would be best friends, a shared love of ALF is one of them. Dori has a very witchy movie review, we stalk Andrew Ridgeley AGAIN and we track down the real Club Tropicana...the reviews are mixed. Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook. This show originally plays out with music that we have to remove from the podcast - here are the songs we spoke about and played: Paninero - Pet Shop Boys Club Tropicana - Wham!

We just wanted to talk to someone involved in the Wham! documentary.  Instead we found Simon Halfon, a man who has played such a unique role in iconic albums from The Style Council, The Jam, Kim Wilde, Oasis and George Michael. He tells us how he got involved in designing album covers, his friendship with Wham!, George Michael as an artist and how lunch with Andrew Ridgeley lead to the Netflix documentary.

With so much Wham! content around, Paulo and Dori have grabbed those teets and are milking George and Andrew for all they're worth. Admit that we've all had that dream atleast once. We also explore the finest in 80s Sci-Fi satire which may or may not include a lost Bee Gee brother. More Wham! as we close out the show plus a look at the Shaka Zulu mini-series from the 80s which ends with a Hoff reference. Of course it does.
