Description
iTunes Summary

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 hours of cheesy science fiction and jokes. Raised on a strict diet of 80s movies, the pair have an undying love for the decade and all of the weird, wonderful cinema therein, despite barely being there for it. Every other week (since 2014) they dissect a movie and the bizarre cinema quirks of 30-odd years ago.

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!).

Our longest-running special month comes to an end: Andrew Programs The Show In The Month Of April, APTSITMOA!

It’s a movie Andrew's got quite a lot of fondness for: The Witches of Eastwick! What, exactly, is the deal with Jack Nicholson and his whole career? Why did Cher stop acting? What the hell is going on in this movie?

All this and more!

Our longest-running special month returns: Andrew Programs The Show In The Month Of April, APTSITMOA!

It's perhaps the best film from very acclaimed director Tim Burton: Edward Scissorhands!

What, exactly, is Edward? Can he eat? Why, exactly, does Tripp find this idea of him puking so, so, so, so, so funny? (He does not know).

All this and more!

John-uary continues...in...March.

Our promised second half of John Carpenter's birthday celebration is here, with the second-tier-but-still-good Stephen King Adaptation: Christine!

What, exactly are Christine's powers? Would Arnie fit in with the T-Birds? What the heck is the Home Alone guy wearing? Who should voice Christine?

Mel Brooks' History of the World Pt. 2 drops today, so we're checking in on the origins!

It's another sketch movie! Tripp learns he'd never seen this, it's good to be the king, the delights of Busby Berkeley musicals, and pissboys!

Favorites-bruary comes to a close with a foundational favorite: Tremors!

How great is Kevin Bacon? What happened to the blue-collar hero? Why on Earth did SyFy not make that reboot pilot?! What, exactly, is this grad student's job? (Also, this clip has us really getting sideways confusing Fred Ward, Fred Willard and Burt Ward). THE GREATEST CINEMATIC BAG O SOUP!

Crack your whips, grab your hats and buckle up for adventure: it's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade!

Tripp gushes about Spielberg, does a mediocre Sean Connery, and can't stop talking about one of his all-time favorites. Andrew posits theories about camp; secret Nazis and wild age gaps!

It's Favorites-bruary, and we're starting with an Andrew pick - our first animated film! - My Neighbor Totoro.

Talking points: Supreme dad energy, hangout movies, vibe movies, dust times, Miyazaki food, and so much more!

Hey y'all, we had some unforeseen circumstances and had to punt on our episode on Christine, so here's the closest thing to a Carpenter film from the archives!

The end of Fourbruary is sadly here: Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers.

Moustapha Akkad begs Michael Myers to return for Halloween, Michael Myers and Dr. Loomis fall in love Lloyd Dobbler style, Andrew solves the gas crisis, credit card technology continues to perplex, Dr. Loomis stammers a bunch, Michael Myers drives a truck, the Haddonfield School of Witchcraft and Wizardry opens its doors, a small basic continuity error drives both Tripp and Andrew crazy, so many Uber drivers hang out, Tripp pitches a wacky comedy starring Dr. Loomis and some teens, Andrew (briefly) breaks the no politics rule and so, so much more. Plus, Tripp tells his famous vomiting story! “NewsSting, Ouroboros” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

It's our newest fake holiday celebrating a celebrity birthday: John-uary! John Carpenter's turning 75 and he rules and we're doing two movies of his, starting with THE FOG!

Jamie Lee Curtis swoons over Tom Atkins, Adrianne Barbeau gets all sultry in a radio tower, ghost have extremely specific board game esque rules, and Tripp's Salty Sea Tales.

Well...this didn't go as expected!

Tripp vaguely remembered liking this movie, so we made a huge mistake and did an episode on a movie we...really hated! Happy Holidays, we guess? (It still came out as a pretty funny effort, we hope).

All this and more!

(Our next episode is The Fog)
