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!).

#271Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead
It’s the not-sweaty-at-all Andrew Programs the Show in the Month of April: APTSITMOA!
We're watching a '90s movie about to be remade: Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead! No, not Tyra Banks and Nicole Ritchie, it's Christina Applegate and scream queen Danielle Harris!
What are the rules of this movie? How is she not getting caught? What's up with her brother's flip flopping? Is this the best gravestone gag of all time?
All this and more!

#270 Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker
It's the not-sweaty-at-all Andrew Programs the Show in the Month of April: APTSITMOA!
We're starting with an underseen slasher in Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker.
Is hiring Jan De Bont for one scene the greatest idea for production value ever conceived? How buckwild is this performance from Susan Tyrell?! All this and more!

#269 Captain Ron
Russel-Mania 2: Oops no Carpenters ends with Captain Ron, a weird boating movie new to both of us!
Would this be better with Kurt as the Family Man role? Why isn't this just Summer Rental? Did Kurt forget he wasn't playing Snake Plissken? (Does Plissken have two consecutive Ss because his first name is snake?) All this and more!

#267 The Poseidon Adventure CLIP
Hey folks - we're going to be a few days late for the normally scheduled episode from today (should be up Thursday!) so we wanted to post this to tide you over a few days.
Something went awry with the time circuits on this fine Leap Day and we've jumped to the past - well we always do that, but a DIFFERENT past!
It's the disaster-piece: The Poseidon Adventure! How great are these sets? Is this movie one of the all-time sweatiest? How lovely is Shelley Winters? Plus, a cavalcade of character actors!
All this and more!

#266 Goodfellas
As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.
One of the all-time great opening lines, and miracle of miracles, Andrew didn't hate one of Tripp's all-time favorite movies! Hear us gush over the long takes, incredible performances and top-tier filmmaking!

Customer Reviews
You can be both a star and a character actor
Example Marjorie Main, of course Hollywood is very different now but I still think you can definitely be both, hard disagree with the other point of view
Love them!
Charming and hilaaaaaaaarious. Love re-visiting my favorite movies with these two.
Two Brothers - Too Fun!
I have enjoyed the Dissecting the 80s podcast for years, and feel deep seeded shame that I have not left it a positive review until now. I have enjoyed every episode since the beginning, even though I wasn't there for it, I have dug deep into their back catalog. I also adore their differing perspectives, the amount of analysis and research they put into each film, and the long, meandering comedic roads they travel down for extended journeys until they realize they probably should continue their review. It is rare to find a podcast that exclusively explores films from my childhood (as a late era Gen-Xer) that also is willing to peer through a modern lens and call out any outdated stereotypes and tropes while not pulling punches (which I greatly appreciate as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community). Tripp, Andrew, keep up the fantastic work, never change, and you will have this listener for as long as you make podcasts.
