Give us your pee-pee | Who impregnated Roger Rabbit | An 80s movie so bad it's dangerous to watch
Friday, November 21, 2025 • Duration 46:16
Jessica Rabbit fan fiction is about to enter the mainstream — and it’s going to be even sexier than anything Sora could imagine.
While comparing sitcoms and s*itcoms, Paulo remembers how much he hates flashback episodes, but at least we all grew up to be Al Bundy.
An R.B.F. brings Dori to The Golden Girls, and Paulo unpacks a movie so bad it’s actually dangerous to watch.
Last Christmas is already in the Top 40, which means the imitators have reared their heads — and we wrap up with Two 80s Truths and a Lie: The Cheers Edition.

The Latest From Milli Vanilli Land | The Most 80s Baddie | A Bullship Movie
Thursday, November 13, 2025 • Duration 31:44
We all want to live in Milli Vanilli Land, where dreadlocks are made of Fizzers and the rivers run with the tears of “what-if” careers. Is Fab finally going to get Milli Vanilli the Grammy they deserve — and will it upset the Dalai Lama?
You know who’s never been in a superhero movie? Charlie Sheen. But we just found the character he was born to play.
What do Whoopi Goldberg and a nightclub in Sunninghill have to do with Dori’s movie — and why is Paulo reviewing an instructional video on how to raise the Titanic?
Far be it from us to use Gremlins 3 as clickbait, but can Dori separate the little guys from Paulo’s 80s lies?

Oh Schucks its a hairpiece | The man who shot the 80s | Particular about pastels
Friday, November 7, 2025 • Duration 34:00
Being chased by hundreds of Marty McFlys is a fantasy only Dori — and maybe Lorraine McFly — could have, and we find out how it came true at the real Twin Pines Mall.
We rediscover the man who directed nearly every iconic music video of the 80s and brought the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Coneheads to the big screen.
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.
Here’s an 80s kid test: complete this Roxette lyric — “I’m gonna get dressed…” If you didn’t say “for some sex” we can’t be friends.
But you should still listen to this unintentionally creepy show as we discover that Suzanne Somers is definitely not a pleasure bot.
Jumping on a bandwagon 40 years too late, Stranger Things resurrects ALF and another That 80s Show favourite.
Dori has caught Paulo’s “so bad it’s good” movie bug, while Paulo brings a movie with a behind-the-scenes story so good it could be a perfect Hart to Hart plotline.
Finally, Two 80s Truths and a Lie dives into scary music, demonic dolls, and a Craven misuse of power.
Smelly Jean | Thirst Trap of Joy | KISS My Frank-N-Furter
Friday, October 24, 2025 • Duration 36:22
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.”
Hard Corey | Don’t let granny near your Quaaludes | Life imitating Mahoney
Friday, October 3, 2025 • Duration 38:40
***CORRECTION. DUE TO MIDDLE-AGE BRAIN ROT - PAULO KEPT CALLING HIS MOVIE RECOMMENDATION, ''PARADISE RESORT'' - IT'S ''PRIVATE RESORT'' AND HE'S AN IDIOT.
CHANGING IT WOULD HAVE DELAYED THIS SHOW AND THE 80S WAIT FOR NO ONE***
Want some Corey Feldman? We’ve got Corey Feldman—and his early exit from Dancing with the Stars.
You want Michael J. Fox? We’ve got Michael J. Fox and his tell-all documentary. Dori swears she heard some stories for the first time—even though Paulo has told them repeatedly.
If our own co-host doesn’t listen to our nonsense, what hope do we have?
You want Johnny Depp? We’ve got Johnny Depp—and his quaalude-popping, horny granny.
You want Steve Guttenberg? Hell, we’ve got him too—with a story that is so Mahoney.
You want Rick Astley, Kylie Minogue, Billy Ocean and Sonia? Well, we don’t have them… and you’ll have to listen to find out why.

Corey Feldman's Last Dance? | Finding Police Academy too high brow | Dori is not the the Master
Friday, September 26, 2025 • Duration 40:00
We remember when telemarketers were fun and encyclopaedias were gold-edged, before wondering if C-Dogg has already had his last dance — and is Billy Joel to blame?
Paulo brings you a movie for people who found Police Academy too intellectual and Pat Morita too distinguished — while both Teen Wolf movies catch strays from their lead actors.
Luckily, Quentin Tarantino is still a fan.
It’s Three 80s Truths and a Lie — The Last Dragon Edition, but Dori struggles to get The Glow.

Nude Aliens | Alice Cooper? I don’t even know who she is | Who let Charlie Sheen in the cockpit?
Friday, September 19, 2025 • Duration 39:18
Hop into the Scooby Gang’s Mystery Machine because we're uncovering truths all over the 1980s.
First up, the latest from Freddie Mercury’s secret daughter as her tell-all book hits the shelves.
Then we dive into the murky world of royalty payments to find out where Cocoon has disappeared to — and why we can no longer see nude 80-year-olds...in that movie atleast.
Dori recommends a movie where rich people feel sorry for themselves, while Paulo brings you Roadie — a Meat Loaf-fronted shenanigan fest about sex, drugs, and rock & roll with no sex or drugs.
We also find out if Charlie Sheen sat on a pilot’s lap and if Michael Jackson’s patent leather moccasins, were patented.
No one expects to see Kenny G trending | Is the concert of our dreams Rickrolling us? | Houston we don’t have a problem
Thursday, September 11, 2025 • Duration 45:50
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.

How do you say kaftan in Dutch | Getting Lanced-a-lot | A Papal Playlist
Friday, September 5, 2025 • Duration 37:28
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.
