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.

Hey!
As the show has gone on, the audio quality has improved massively (a significant chunk of these episodes were literally recorded with handheld Rock Band mics!). New listeners often start with the earliest episode, and we want to put our best audio foot forward.
Seasons 1-3 are available to any supporter at Patreon.com/DissectingThe80s.
