What You Talkin’ ’Bout, Shannon | A Superman no one needed — and one that should’ve happened

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.Jump To:Kenny G Trends After Doja Cat VMA Performance (00:00:18): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXDCs3D5iDURumored 'Icons of the 80s' Durban Concert (00:04:58) : https://www.citizen.co.za/highway-mail/news-headlines/2025/09/04/kylie-rick-billy-in-durban-or-is-this-80s-dream-too-good-to-be-true/Corey Feldman on Dancing with the Stars (00:13:00) : https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/corey-feldman-takes-dancing-stars-stage-after-battles-his-dark-hollywood-pastMatt Houston TV Show Review (00:17:56) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLvl4TUTVHgMorrissey Selling The Smiths’ Rights (00:38:00): https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/sep/04/the-musty-whiff-of-a-yard-sale-why-is-morrissey-attempting-to-sell-his-share-of-the-smiths-cataloguehttps://www.morrissey-solo.com/threads/a-soul-for-sale-september-3-2025.154026/#That 80s Show, #podcast, #1980s pop culture, #Kenny G, #Doja Cat, #Video Music Awards, #Icons of the 80s concert, #Durban, #Kylie Minogue, #Billy Ocean, #Rick Astley, #nostalgia, #social media trends, #performance, #80s-style, #fashion, #music industry, #concert skepticism, #Sharks Stadium, #VIP tickets, #music artists, #celebrity gossip, #Facebook, #social media, #ChatGPT, #The Smiths, #Morrissey, #Johnny Marr, #music rights, #band dynamics, #80s television, #Matt Houston, #Aaron Spelling, #mustaches, #TV shows, #classic episodes, #80s humor, #pop culture references, #music discussions, #live performances, #concert announcements, #entertainment news.

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?Jump To:Things you didn't know about 80s Sitcom Theme Songs (00:03:16): https://www.cracked.com/article_47918_stuff-you-never-knew-about-6-iconic-sitcom-theme-songs.htmlDutch Golden Girls and International Spin-offs (00:09:34): https://youtu.be/OPYq7bmpldw?si=qNACR-laGApq0fzMLady Chatterley's Lover Movie Review (00:14:12): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzqitsGl09QMatt Houston: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083447/mediaviewer/rm707663872/?ref_=ext_shr_lnkNot Matt Houston's bottom: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082640/mediaviewer/rm1834651649/?ref_=ext_shr_lnkKnight Riders Movie Review (00:22:05): https://youtu.be/5RB3DoJRoYc?si=3sdG4r1HdgcTrLmrTwo 80s Truths and a Lie (00:33:43): https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2025/aug/25/how-we-made-young-at-heart-the-bluebells-siobhan-fahey# 80s Show, # podcast, # Dori, # iconic sitcoms, # theme songs, # Cheers, # The Jeffersons, # The Golden Girls, # Thank You for Being a Friend, # sitcom trivia, # Cracked article, # 1980s nostalgia, # Lady Chatterley’s Lover, # erotic drama, # George Romero, # Knight Riders, # motorbikes, # Arthurian ideals, # LGBTQ representation, # progressive themes, # 80s movies, # cultural commentary, # Two Truths and a Lie, # Freddy Krueger, # red and green colors, # Pope John Paul II, # Bananarama, # The Bluebells, # pop culture, # 80s music, # international versions, # spin-offs, # nostalgia, # film recommendations, # sitcom themes, # Emmanuelle, # Matt Houston, # classic novels, # movie trailers, # character analysis, # societal norms, # comedy, # television history.

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.Jump To: - Simon Le Bon’s 1985 Yacht Rescue (00:02:08): https://www.aol.com/40-years-ago-today-80s-073010208.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3-6rrU0Ij0  - Thomas Anders’ “Cherokee Highway” (00:15:38):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYdZGb69BGo Movie Review: Raging Bull (00:22:18): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2UKuKxCJqcMatthew Broderick & Project X (00:31:05): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0de66wOE4Y #Simon Le Bon, #Duran Duran, #Fastnet yacht race, #maritime rescue, #Superman movie, #Zorg, #British actor, #age calculations, #40th anniversary, #vintage news report, #dramatic rescue, #yacht capsized, #navy diver, #psychological impact, #Thomas Anders, #Modern Talking, #AI technology, #music video, #Cherokee Highway, #Kevin Smith, #1980s-themed movie, #Raging Bull, #Martin Scorsese, #Robert De Niro, #Joe Pesci, #boxing movie, #true story, #Jake LaMotta, #film school, #Academy Award, #black and white film, #nostalgic imagery, #video stores, #music stores, #CNA, #Look and Listen, #Exclusive Books, #Late Night Als, #Mivami restaurant, #Mike's Kitchens, #pop culture references, #80s references, #classic films, #film recommendations.

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?Jump To:Diff’rent Strokes: Willis & Gary Coleman Altercation (00:04:01): https://www.mensjournal.com/entertainment/80s-sitcom-star-todd-bridges-claims-co-stars-dad-tried-to-get-him-fired80s Sitcom Dads: Who Would You Choose?

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.Jump To: Strangest 80s TV Shows (00:05:11)Nearly Departed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2roa-VT-9URubik the amazing cube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYs_GCy9PRkWhere's Rodney: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDREFBAAcBYHeil Honey I'm home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_T3z5OuiNgTV in Apartheid South Africa (00:15:19): https://youtu.be/xUXXgPKADuk?si=PadjTnXeyZAutXRZPodcast Recommendation: The Rest is Shifty (00:24:42): https://iono.fm/c/9439Mobile Recording Studio & Lloyd Ross (00:30:37): https://www.saha.org.za/shiftyrecords/lloyd_ross_at_work_in_the_shifty_caravan.htmYellowbeard (00:35:43)Trailer: https://youtu.be/3RC69keaDGo?si=wPPKnkoSVhbpji1LBehind the scenes documentary: https://youtu.be/0CNzeAzh288?si=1BNGsFfbWrUX2081Rod Stewart, AI, and Technology Misuse (00:45:26): https://youtube.com/shorts/EgTAewBGzRY?si=ZhJygYM_Rn6VIX_yBBC Radio 2’s Ultimate 80s Duet List (00:48:38): https://www.bbc.com/mediacentre/2025/bbc-radio-2-ultimate-80s-duet-results#80s pop culture, #That 80s Show, #sitcom theme songs, #SportBilly #1980s television, #1980s movies, #nostalgia, #strange TV shows, #short-lived sitcoms, #movie ratings, #censorship, #apartheid South Africa, #Full House, #Cheers, #Growing Pains, #Perfect Strangers, #Three’s Company, #Nearly Departed, #Rubik the Amazing Cube, #Where’s Rodney?, #Hail Honey I’m Home, #Everything 80s podcast, #PG-13 rating, #National Lampoon’s Vacation, #censorship in films, #South African media, #audio work, #nostalgic candies, #tariffs, #inflation, #comedy, #boy bands, #Menudo, #Rodney Dangerfield, #social commentary, #political themes, #racial issues, #South African music history, #Shifty Records, #80s duets, #Philip Bailey, #Phil Collins, #Joe Cocker, #Jennifer Warnes, #David Bowie, #Mick Jagger, #Meatloaf, #Kylie Minogue, #Jason Donovan, #The Communards, #Pet Shop Boys, #Dusty Springfield, #Freddie Mercury, #Montserrat Caballé, #Queen, #David Bowie, #The Pogues, #Kirsty MacColl, #Fairytale of New York, #conspiracy theories, #podcasting, #humor, #cultural reflections.

Linda 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.Jump To: Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s Passing (00:06:13): https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/21/entertainment/malcolm-jamal-warner-deathTomorrowland Stage Fire (00:10:58): https://parade.com/news/80s-band-saves-tomorrowland-edm-festival-metallica-fireRick Springfield on The Today Show (00:14:39): https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/rick-springfield-calls-out-today-show-melvin-yawning-boring-1236020597/80s Celebrities: Who Would Be a Jerk?

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.Jump To:Men Without Hats' New Song "I Love the 80s" (00:00:18): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV6SF492hNULive Aid 40th Anniversary Reflections (00:03:30): https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/live-aid-1985-michael-buerk-bob-geldof-b2788047.htmlGary Coleman's Death and Controversy (00:08:30): https://www.eonline.com/news/1419706/gary-colemans-death-what-happened-with-shannon-priceMovie Recommendation: Blue Thunder (00:15:27): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEUAviZ_OOkSuperman in the 1980s: Movies and TV (00:28:36): https://movieweb.com/superboy-80s-superman-tv-show-forgotten/Casting What-Ifs: Superman Replacements (00:33:13): https://movieweb.com/why-christopher-reeve-almost-recast-superman-iii/#Men Without Hats, #The Safety Dance, #I Love the 80s, #Ivan Doroschuk, #Live Aid, #40th Anniversary, #Phil Collins, #charity concert, #Bob Geldof, #Michael Burke, #Africa famine, #Gary Coleman, #Diff’rent Strokes, #tragic death, #Shannon Price, #reality TV, #Blue Thunder, #1983, #helicopter thriller, #Roy Scheider, #Vietnam War veteran, #Project Thor, #Malcolm McDowell, #Airwolf, #80s nostalgia, #synthpop, #80s movies, #pop culture, #80s music, #action films, #childhood memories, #cultural events, #80s legacy, #nostalgia factor.

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.Jump To: St. Elmo’s Fire Soundtrack & Saxophone Debate (00:03:07): https://youtu.be/rgYkL_V1pmE?si=XcyHJyKjjs0BEQOLDawie Die Kabouter and Gnome Deaths (00:09:58): https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/54d5zo/til_that_the_last_episode_of_the_80s_kids_cartoon/Timelessness of Back to the Future (00:14:20): https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/jul/03/back-to-the-future-at-40Movies Fuelled by Cocaine (00:16:29): https://www.cracked.com/article_47203_23-movies-brought-to-you-mostly-by-cocaine.htmlWings of Desire: Plot and Differences from City of Angels (00:30:13): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liAOEb5rnbAPaulo’s Movie Review: Where the Buffalo Roam (00:37:52): https://youtu.be/_ZT6fziaIIw?si=p2mPbBCafjoICDd4Rick Astley’s Song Choices and an 80s Conspiracy (00:44:04): https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/jul/06/rick-astley-honest-playlist-kylie-donna-summer-biffy-clyro-abbahttps://youtu.be/N40qlumASq4?si=mJiTjWtvxWjoZsVRBBC 80s Duet Countdown (00:48:09): https://www.bbc.com/mediacentre/2025/bbc-radio-2-ultimate-80s-duet#1980s pop culture, #St. Elmo's Fire, #saxophone music, #Berlin Wall, #David Hasselhoff, #German culture, #corrections, #podcast, #nostalgia, #Back to the Future, #Bob Gale, #Game of Thrones, #The White Lotus, #incest in media, #cultural norms, #Wings of Desire, #Wim Wenders, #City of Angels, #black and white film, #Nick Cave, #Hunter S.

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.Jump To: Corey Feldman’s Autograph Economics (00:02:36): https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLQ87EAx0pF/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link80s TV Character Deaths: Transformers & Airwolf (00:08:29): Optimus Prime: https://youtu.be/S7sjXkYHOg0?si=1KTQ8oOld3mB1aCIAirwolf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shJnFFZO6l8Dallas & Bobby Ewing’s Dream Death (00:15:03): https://youtu.be/nCEjeTb1rrs?si=nS4PlLOFf92YU8IsChapter 27 (00:17:31): https://youtu.be/TktOCF-iBTQ?si=3kkF8CNEnGfdMEZxClint Eastwood’s Pink Cadillac (00:34:27): https://youtu.be/I5P2UWe-c1I?si=hI_4IderbhKb95bRBryan Adams in Pink Cadillac: https://images.app.goo.gl/RKJajr1EZqfDCK5m8Jim Carrey in Pink Cadillac: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098097/mediaviewer/rm189105665/?ref_=ext_shr_lnkTony Danza’s Legal Trouble & Who’s the Boss (00:43:07): https://www.cracked.com/article_47129_tony-danza-avoided-jail-time-thanks-to-whos-the-boss.htmlRob Lowe, Saint Elmo’s Fire, and 80s Nostalgia (00:46:56): https://www.aol.com/rob-lowe-reveals-favorite-part-150000509.html?guccounter=1  # character deaths, # The Simpsons, # Transformers, # Airwolf, # Dallas, # Corey Feldman, # celebrity appearances, # autograph signings, # 1980s television, # character arcs, # media commentary, # Chapter 27, # John Lennon, # Mark David Chapman, # Jared Leto, # method acting, # Lindsay Lohan, # Clint Eastwood, # absurdity, # movie reviews, # Tony Danza, # Rob Lowe, # St. Elmo's Fire, # entertainment industry, # celebrity culture, # 80s films, # cultural significance, # film recommendations, # absurd plot, # comedic elements, # character transformations, # psychological aspects, # entertainment nostalgia, # film discussions, # movie cameos, # light-hearted banter.

Dori discovers how to make beautiful Star Trek music, but all roads lead... somewhere we don’t need roads.Paulo shares why Top Gun is the ultimate ’80s fighter jet movie — hopefully Clint Eastwood can hear him.And we go around the ’80s in 80 seconds to find out why Rob Lowe won’t keep his shirt on, how Madonna finally finds a Papa who can preach, and why Prince blew up Weird Al.Jump To: - Bea Arthur vs. Betty White: The C Word (00:02:50): https://www.mensjournal.com/entertainment/80s-sitcom-stars-betty-white-bea-arthur-couldnt-warm-up-to-each-other-outside-of-the-golden-girls  - Concert in the Park Podcast (00:06:13): https://substack.solidgold.co.za/p/40th-anniversary-of-the-concert-in - Full Disclaimer Podcast (00:16:33): https://www.instagram.com/probert_designs/?hl=en - Firefox (00:24:14): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky-uzsw0kqw - Round the '80s in 80 Seconds(00:30:22): - Rob Lowe can't keep his shirt on: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14817497/Rob-Lowe-real-reason-shirtless-selfies.html - Madonna and The Pope: https://parade.com/news/beloved-80s-pop-star-with-a-complicated-church-history-is-related-to-pope-leo-xiv - Prince hated Weird Al: https://www.cracked.com/article_46922_prince-had-no-patience-for-weird-al-yankovic.html#That 80s Show, #Golden Girls, #Bea Arthur, #Betty White, #40th anniversary, #sitcom dynamics, #off-camera relationship, #South Africa concert, #apartheid, #1985 concert, #multiracial gathering, #pop culture, #nostalgia, #Star Trek, #DeLorean, #Back to the Future, #Andrew Probert, #Cold War, #Clint Eastwood, #Firefox, #voice-activated technology, #Rob Lowe, #Madonna, #celebrity relationships, #Weird Al Yankovic, #Prince, #artistic ownership, #80s cinema, #cultural significance, #film recommendations, #technology in film, #creative process, #humor, #anecdotes, #storytelling, #entertainment history.
