Buckle up, buttercup: this week 20 years ago was a wild ride - equal parts horrifying, hilarious and of course nostalgic.

The heavy:

  • The Abu Ghraib prison scandal explodes, sending shockwaves around the world. We'll unpack the details and the fallout, but be warned, it's not a pretty picture.
  • Dick Cheney and George W. Bush take a turn in the hot seat, testifying before the 9/11 Commission. Did they reveal anything juicy?

The hilarity:

  • Remember Shrek the sheep? The runaway merino who became a national treasure in New Zealand after six years on the run? We'll relive his epic shearing complete with celebrity guests.

The headliners:

  • Beyoncé's "Naughty Girl" is setting the charts on fire with its sassy vibes and dance moves inspired by Fred Astaire (yes, really!).
  • D12 drops their album "D12 World," and we'll dive into the music and the group's complicated history.
  • Coachella becomes a cultural phenomenon with Radiohead and The Cure headlining. 

Bonus Round:

  • We'll mourn the end of an era: the Sunday night movie tradition bites the dust on Network Ten.

So, grab your flip phones (good luck finding a charger!), dust off your old iPods and join us for a trip down memory lane.
