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.

Every other week (since 2014) they dissect a movie and the bizarre cinema quirks of 30-odd years ago.
