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.

We're kicking off December with a super fun buddy cop movie turning 30 this year: Tango & Cash!
Did Tripp finally learn an impression? (Yes) Does he do it too much? (Also, yes). Andrew confuses Kurt Russell and Patrick Swayze for an entire movie, so Tripp is concerned for his health. Stallone continues to mumble his way through everything, but in nicer clothes! So many explosions. So many character actors.
All this and more!

We're diving into Splash for its 35th anniversary, and taking on our LONG-TIME nemesis: Ron. Howard. It's our longest episode ever and it's T. Hanks-giving!
Why is there so little Clint? We pitch a buddy movie with Clint and Randy Quaid, Ron Howard and Bryce Dallas Howard get theoretically so mad at us, Andrew remembers several Disney Channel Original Movies, We discuss the signature Tom Hanks Yell (TM), so much mermaid discussion, the tortured life of Daryl Hannah in this movie, we discuss the bathroom habits of mermaids, the logic of mermaids and how the end of this movie is MUCH more interesting than than the whole movie!
All this and more!

We're celebrating the anniversary of a movie you probably haven't heard of: The Wraith!
We've got not one but TWO better brothers: Randy Quaid and Clint Howard! Plus, Charlie Sheen as a reinCARnated (I can't believe we didn't come up with that during this episode) guy, Nick Cassavettes as a true scumbag, Twin Peaks' Sherilynn Fenn and some great car action! Plus, Andrew uses "boop" in a way that destroys Tripp's brain!

Out-of-context-quote from this episode: "I'm watching a movie, not at an Outback Steakhouse!"
The spooktacular ends with a truly bizarre movie: Death Spa! (AKA Witch Bitch)
What's up with this nonsense technology? Why can't we tell anyone apart? Who, exactly, is the bad guy in this movie? Are we dealing with witches or not? The used car salesman of breasts. Really, really, really great practical death scenes. Blender breakdowns. Sexy asparagus. Newly blind people left alone. Flying fish.
All this and more!

Thanks to our incredible Patreon supporters and the fabulous folks at Universal Orlando, we crossed one off the bucket list and went to Halloween Horror Nights!
Universal provided us tickets to the park during the day and at night, express passes and a hotel to experience the magic and terror of Halloween Horror Nights 29 for ourselves. We hope you enjoy this recap of our experience, and interview with Patrick Braillard, who's part of the Universal Creative team behind the event!

The desiccated husk of Sylvester Stallone is releasing a final chapter in the Rambo series, so we're going to where it started going off the rails: Rambo: First Blood II!
How stupid is this title? Is Rambo a Mary Sue? Why doesn't this movie have a proper sidekick? What's Stallone's Vietnam obsession? Is this the worst love story in the history of feature film? Just how many knives is Sylvester Stallone in possession of? Does anyone in this movie understand show, don't tell? Plus, a serious diversion and discussion on Beauty and the Beast's Gaston and the logistics of his 60 eggs PER DAY!
All this and more!

We're getting a little sexy for our sixth season's beginning (you know, like sextet?...We weren't sure either) with She's Out of Control!
Tony "Hold Me Closer Tiny" Danza has a daughter that's interested in b-b-b-b-b-boooooys and he can't handle it at all! Just how sexist does this thing get? Why is Wallace Shawn this low-key as the baddie? Is this the most extravagant "She's All That" turn in movie history?

It's the end of Season 5, so we're celebrating with a part 5 film: Howling 5: The Rebirth (not to be confused with Part 6: The Reborn!).
Why is there almost NO werewolf action in this? WHO IS STAVROS? How many different things are being ripped off simultaneously here? Plus, Andrew besmirches Thriller and Tripp gets mad.
