Smelly Jean | Thirst Trap of Joy | KISS My Frank-N-Furter

Loading player...
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.”
