- #193 Flight of the Navigator
We're revisiting a Tripp childhood favorite in Flight of the Navigator!
How freaking cool is this spaceship? Is Joey Cramer on Henry Thomas' level? What's Sarah Jessica Parker got against this flick? Plus, Tripp makes the worst Cliff de Young joke in history!
All this and more!

1 hr 34 min - #192 Night of the Creeps
It's time for a little summer spooky fun: Night of the Creeps!
This love letter to B-movies has everything: Aliens, slug monsters, frat boys with ill intentions, a boy who looks suspiciously like Ric Flair, one of five Rusty Griswolds, crutches, flamethrowers and Tom Atkins as a cop desperately trying to find out if cigarettes or whiskey will kill him first!
All this and more!

We sincerely regret the error, as it would have been a better impression.)All this and more!“NewsSting, Ouroboros” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/4 min

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.
