Dissecting The 80s episodes
- #240 Edward Scissorhands
Our longest-running special month returns: Andrew Programs The Show In The Month Of April, APTSITMOA!
It's perhaps the best film from very acclaimed director Tim Burton: Edward Scissorhands!
What, exactly, is Edward? Can he eat? Why, exactly, does Tripp find this idea of him puking so, so, so, so, so funny? (He does not know).
All this and more!

John-uary continues...in...March.
Our promised second half of John Carpenter's birthday celebration is here, with the second-tier-but-still-good Stephen King Adaptation: Christine!
What, exactly are Christine's powers? Would Arnie fit in with the T-Birds? What the heck is the Home Alone guy wearing? Who should voice Christine?

Mel Brooks' History of the World Pt. 2 drops today, so we're checking in on the origins!

All this and more!

1 hr 14 min - #237 Tremors (trailer)
Favorites-bruary comes to a close with a foundational favorite: Tremors!
How great is Kevin Bacon? What happened to the blue-collar hero? Why on Earth did SyFy not make that reboot pilot?! What, exactly, is this grad student's job? (Also, this clip has us really getting sideways confusing Fred Ward, Fred Willard and Burt Ward). THE GREATEST CINEMATIC BAG O SOUP!
All this and more!

8 min - #236 Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Crack your whips, grab your hats and buckle up for adventure: it's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade!
Tripp gushes about Spielberg, does a mediocre Sean Connery, and can't stop talking about one of his all-time favorites. Andrew posits theories about camp; secret Nazis and wild age gaps!

1 hr 25 min - #65 Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
Hey y'all, we had some unforeseen circumstances and had to punt on our episode on Christine, so here's the closest thing to a Carpenter film from the archives!
The end of Fourbruary is sadly here: Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers.
Moustapha Akkad begs Michael Myers to return for Halloween, Michael Myers and Dr. Loomis fall in love Lloyd Dobbler style, Andrew solves the gas crisis, credit card technology continues to perplex, Dr. Loomis stammers a bunch, Michael Myers drives a truck, the Haddonfield School of Witchcraft and Wizardry opens its doors, a small basic continuity error drives both Tripp and Andrew crazy, so many Uber drivers hang out, Tripp pitches a wacky comedy starring Dr. Loomis and some teens, Andrew (briefly) breaks the no politics rule and so, so much more. Plus, Tripp tells his famous vomiting story!“NewsSting, Ouroboros” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/1 hr 31 min - #234 The Fog
It's our newest fake holiday celebrating a celebrity birthday: John-uary! John Carpenter's turning 75 and he rules and we're doing two movies of his, starting with THE FOG!
Jamie Lee Curtis swoons over Tom Atkins, Adrianne Barbeau gets all sultry in a radio tower, ghost have extremely specific board game esque rules, and Tripp's Salty Sea Tales.

1 hr 28 min - #233 Lethal Weapon (Clip)
Well...this didn't go as expected!
Tripp vaguely remembered liking this movie, so we made a huge mistake and did an episode on a movie we...really hated! Happy Holidays, we guess? (It still came out as a pretty funny effort, we hope).
All this and more!

7 min - #232 Throw Momma From The Train
Danny DeVito's back, baby!
Our favorite short king directed this bizarre little comedy featuring the great Ann Ramsey, Billy Crystal having a slow meltdown and a lot of weird little touches. (For those who hate tangents, episode starts around 23 minutes).
All this and more!

About Dissecting The 80s
From the publisher's feed
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.
