Episode notes

Do they know it's inappropriate after all?

Band Aid is back for a 40th-anniversary nightmare mash-up. While we love an '80s supergroup, we all know better now—or do we?

We uncover what Tim Curry was doing to Freddie Mercury's bushes and explore the meaning behind the lyrics of Karma Chameleon.

Spoiler: the phrase “Calmer Chameleon” does not appear anywhere.

Dori reminisces about The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show, but all Paulo wants to know is: how does Snoopy poop?

Surely, he's above popping a squat in the backyard?

Paulo uses sound effects to review the film Lady Terminator. Who knew a dick kick sounded like that?

Finally, we share our Christmas wish lists. Dibs on the evil George Michael throw cushion!

For a fantastic selection of gifts for the '80s fan in your life, visit Retro Fair.

They even have a Batman button just like the one Paulo shoplifted from Woolworths when he was nine.
