Paulo quizzes The Quizmaster | Ryan Reynolds reboots ALF | Club Tropicana and the drinks aren't free

Loading player...

Due to no fault of his own, Paulo did not win an '80s quiz evening. He conducts an internal audit.

We examine the many reasons why Paulo and Ryan Reynolds would be best friends, a shared love of ALF is one of them.

Dori has a very witchy movie review, we stalk Andrew Ridgeley AGAIN, and we track down the real Club Tropicana... the reviews are mixed.

Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook. This show originally plays out with music that we have to remove from the podcast - here are the songs we spoke about and played:

Paninero - Pet Shop Boys
Club Tropicana - Wham!
