Blame it on the Menendez Brothers | The Seinfeld Cast in the 80s | How an obvious cult inspired Footloose

--:--
Milli Vanilli are back in the charts for the first time in over 30 years, and you gotta blame it on something.

In less murderous brother news - Paulo reveals the names of the little dinosaurs from Bubble Bobble which prompts us to try to name their girlfriends with sub-par results.

What were the Seinfeld cast up to in the 80s just before they became mega-stars, and Paulo thought Cheetara was the only scantily-clad, cat-like humanoid he had eyes for...until he watched Rock and Rule.

To wrap up we wonder how Tiffany is going to imagine her 80s hits and realise that a cult may have inspired Footloose.
