That 80s Show meets Simon Halfon
We just wanted to talk to someone involved in the Wham! documentary.
Instead we found Simon Halfon, a man who has played such a unique role in iconic albums from The Style Council, The Jam, Kim Wilde, Oasis and George Michael.
He tells us how he got involved in designing album covers, his friendship with Wham!, George Michael as an artist and how lunch with Andrew Ridgeley lead to the Netflix documentary...

Mr T, Rob Lowe, Demi Moore and a shirtless George Michael all in the opening few minutes - that's why were one of the best podcasts in Africa!
It was bound to happen, and it happened on our 150th movie recommendation. If you know, you know...

In the latest edition of That Wham! Show we find out that Wham! may come back as holograms, Andrew Ridgeley wants to do the cha cha cha and how a trip to China ended with George Michael being called a dumbell...
That 80s Show | There can never be too much Wham! | Sci-Fi Satire | Shaka Zulu and The Knight Rider.
With so much Wham! content around, Paulo and Dori have grabbed those teets and are milking George and Andrew for all they're worth.
Admit that we've all had that dream atleast once.
We also explore the finest in 80s Sci-Fi satire which may or may not include a lost Bee Gee brother.
More Wham! as we close out the show plus a look at the Shaka Zulu mini-series from the 80s which ends with a Hoff reference...
That 80s Show | We didn't start the fire, but Fall Out Boy should stop it | The Wham!u-mentary | Bud (Spencer) Lite | Steinhegvanhuysenolegbangbangbang
It's Wham! Week and Paulo is angry with Fall Out Boy.
They remade a Billy Joel song, and didn't even have the decency to do it in chronological order.
We have an intellectual conversation about Wham! on Netflix before Paulo brings Dori a story about Bud Spencer so ridiculous that he didn't even bother playing Two 80s Truths and a lie, because fact is stranger than fiction...
That 80s Show | Rick Astonbury | Why can't a millionaire playboy adopt teenage girls? | Offensive 80s songs
So much Glastonbury, so little time.
The biggest event of 2023 gives Paulo and Dori a chance to go back to the 80s to talk about Blondie, The Pretenders, Guns n Roses, Elton John and Rick Astley.
But most importantly, is Slash bald under his hat?
Movie recommendations get creepy and musical and we bring you offensive songs from the 80.

That 80s Show | Boom Boom lets go back to our podcast | Beauty and the Linda Hamilton | See Wham, think of us | Michael Knight - Train Rider.
Ever wondered what happened to that 80s one hit wonder? Be more specific you say?
A conversation about Linda Hamilton's Terminator arms reminded Paulo and Dori of the very un-Disney Beauty and the Beast.
Who was worse? 80s video store guys or 80s music store guys? The video store guys let Paulo leave with age-restricted movies so they're in the lead...
That 80s Show | Paulo is STILL crying | The World's longest coke straw | John Travolta and a mechanical bull | Sade but make it house.
Paulo watched "Still: A Michael J Fox movie," and had all the feelings. So overwhelmed by emotion, he forgot the name of MJF's wife. Paulo is a jerk.
But he's a jerk with a new guilty pleasure in "A Town Called Malice." Dori recommends a movie with a message, but of course, we only notice the impractically long cocaine straw and the waterbed, which made Paulo think the movie will end up being porn.
Paulo is a jerk...
That 80s Show | You wake up in the 80s? Now what? | Paulo manifested a portable vinyl player | Ferris almost took ALL the days off.
What would you do if you woke up back in the 80s?
Buy Apple stocks and not really do anything different, unless you're Dori, who would change the order in which she kisses her posters in the morning.
We also reminisce about the hilarity of 80s Garfield merchandise, wonder if River Phoenix would have had Johnny Depp's career, and imagine a world where Johnny Depp was the star of Big.

That 80s Show | The USA for Africa deadpool | Dori and the lizard baby from V | Sly did Frank dirty | Two 80s Truths and a lie?
We open the show with a look back at Tina Turner's career, but being us - we ended up wondering which member of the supergroup USA for Africa would die next. One name ''jumped'' out at us.
Paulo reminds Dori of the mini-series V, while she reminds him of Macguyver's best friend.
Frank Stallone wouldn't try boxing, so why did Sly sing? And we close off the episode with Two 80s Truths and a lie...
