   Did 80s movies predict how AI will kill us | We say the word ‘’peen’’ |

   Who slept with the entire A-Team, and did Murdoch do the helicopter? Only the hottest ’80s topics are ever discussed on this show!! Tiffany does a Stevie Nicks impression — will she finally be left alone? With the news that AI is about to kill us, we wonder if ’80s movies held any clues about what to expect. We find out that it’s less Arnold Schwarzenegger and more Richard Pryor. Marty Supreme’s soundtrack confuses Dori, and Paulo finds a sequel to Fast Times at Ridgemont High. No video cassettes were paused during its pool scene. Plus, Girl you know its true, I divorce you, Adam Lambert saves George Michael, and sitcoms that may not have existed.

   No generation broke wind harder | Mr T-Tinted Testicles | The Travolta Meh-mometer

   In the 80s, we tuned people like we tuned our TVs: by rubbing their knobs! Paulo gets behind an AI trend that wasted a bottle of water in pursuit of seeing himself with a mullet. But is AI really doing more environmental damage than Debbie Gibson's hairspray? We make time for Mr. T jibba jabba, and no fool is left unpitied, while Dori finally admits that she's not one of those people who has to know things immediately. When did John Travolta infiltrate the KGB...and Duran Duran? Who is Rob Lowe's mortal enemy? Will we get sued by The B-Team? And what bedsheets does Cousin Louis Louis Louis have?

   Kudu be love | George Michael's back alley | Cullen your bluff

   They say you can carbon-date someone by the Tim Curry role they instantly recognise. Paulo would happily follow Tim down any drainpipe in the world, but Dori's favourite Tim Curry role might surprise you. Actually, it won't. It's exactly what you think it is... and it's astounding. That does, however, lead us to discover which other coffin-dodging celebrities we need to protect at all costs. Dori hates Mondays but loves the South African Post Office — an institution that hasn't received this much affection since Paulo was sending fan mail to the KTV cast. George Michael Day attracts exactly the demographic you'd expect, Jeff Goldblum could reimburse your ticket, and we play a game that helps us uncover some of the iconic characters voiced by Peter Cullen... and a few he definitely didn't voice. It was also just an excuse to talk about Garth Knight.
