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.

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.

Who would’ve thought The Golden Girls would lead to the C-word being said four times in five minutes?

Bea Arthur, that’s who — and don’t ask what’s itchin' in her kitchen.

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.
