Dissecting The 80s
Dissecting The 80s
Tripp and Andrew Laino
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.
#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! Looking for episode 267?

#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!   Looking for episode 267?
