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.

Ziggy Piggy!
We're diving into a giant ice cream sundae with Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure! Just how great is George Carlin? How did we choose these historical figures, exactly? Why is this history report set up this way?
All this and more! Thank you so much for supporting the show!

We're celebrating the 35th anniversary of Weird Science!
Is this a sexy Cat in the Hat or a sexy Mary Poppins? Discount store Matthew Broderick, too much casual sexism and homophobia, a big disagreement on characters, delightful genie weirdness, undefined powers and a lot of praise for Kelly LeBrock!

It's the final episode of season 6, and we're tackling one of the big ones of the "bad movie canon" - Xanadu!
Do we both kind of like this movie? Tripp fires up the Goot Signal, Gene Kelly charms us, there's just, like, an absurd amount of roller skating, several script edits make no sense, they spent a lot of time painting old advertisements, booking MSG for a live podcast and bizarre casting choices.

We talk dream sequence theories, Muffin the dog, Jason's backstory, Ted's pitch for a sequel (which rules so hard), Tom McBride and of course, Ted the character in the film!

Oh man, we are so pumped for y'all to hear this one!
It's Deadly Friend - a new to us and completely BONKERS Wes Craven movie, ripped to shreds by the studio, who desperately wanted another Nightmare on Elm Street. Kristy Swanson as a robot, weird Dr. Frankenstein vibes, terrible cops, a nightmare father, a good mom, and so much insanity!
