Tripp and Andrew Laino have been watching movies together since 1992, and making fun of them together since 1999, when a rainy afternoon of babysitting turned into 8 straight hours of cheesy science fiction, popcorn and jokes. Raised on a strict diet of 80s adventure, action, comedy and drama, the pair have an undying love for the 1980s and all of the weird, wonderful cinema therein. Since 2014, they’ve hosted this podcast - every other week they dissect a movie (or sometimes a TV show), finding plot holes, bad lighting and acting choices and the bizarre cinema quirks of 30-odd years ago (Smoking in hospitals! Rubber suits without neck hinges! Corey Feldman!).

    #277 Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (CLIP)

    One of our childhood favorites turns 35 this year, and we're celebrating by discussing the ways Wayne Szalinski's shrink ray would absolutely blow up the world economy (plus, Antie, French class and giant cheerios/oatmeal cream pies).

    #276 Johnny Handsome

    #276 Johnny Handsome

    The Month of John concludes with Johnny Handsome, a bizarre Walter Hill directed, Mickey Rourke star vehicle where he gets a new face!
    What on earth is this movie? Is Lance Henriksen the king of scuzzy villains? Did he live in New Orleans for like a decade for all these scuzzy NoLa villain turns? Plus, Mickey Rourke is a babe.
    All this and more!

    #275 Johnny Dangerously

    #275 Johnny Dangerously

    It's our latest theme month, the month of John, and we're kicking off with the delightful spoof: Johnny Dangerously!
    Amy Heckerling's three classics, spoofing a dead genre, Disney rides teaching us about gangster films, Keaton absolutely killing it, and some real live-action cartoon zaniness!
    All this and more!

    #274 Drop Dead Fred

    #274 Drop Dead Fred

    It's the conclusion of I-May-Ginary Friends Month, easily the worst theme month in the history of this podcast!
    We're visiting with Drop Dead Fred and asking a lot of questions, like: WHO IS THIS MOVIE FOR?! WHY ARE IMAGINARY FRIENDS SUCH ASSHOLES? Why is Carrie Fisher so chill about this enormous tragedy that happens!? What's Phoebe Cates arc supposed to be?!
    All this and more!
