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.

Must be the season of the wiiiiiitch!
NOTE: Tripp was correct about Mountain Time (though he stands behind Andrew's Coors Light point) and the St.Patrick thing is a myth!
What is Tom Atkins doing leading a movie? Is this movie good-bad or bad-bad? Is this the worst sex scene on film? NO MORE DAYS TO HALLOWEEN! SIL-VER SHAM-ROCK!
All this and more!

How high is Donald Pleasance in this movie? What's the ethical situation of offering Book It style personal pan pizzas at a mental institution? Seriously, why is Pleasance not in on this thing? He sure seems like he is!
All this and more!

We're back!
Join us for the 35th anniversary of Paul Verhoeven's stone-cold classic: RoboCop!
Is this the most realistic dystopian future? How goopy are the proceedings? Can you recognize someone by their pouty duck lips? Is this the most Psych-heavy episode of the show?
