Dissecting The 80s episodes
- #278 Beverly Hills Cop
An action-comedy classic celebrates its 40th anniversary, and it's return to the big-ish screen: Beverly Hills Cop!
How great is Eddie Murphy? Or this whole cast, for that matter! Do they use the song too much? More Judge Reinhold, dang it!
All this and more!

The Month of John concludes with Johnny Handsome, a bizarre Walter Hill directed, Mickey Rourke star vehicle where he gets a new face!
What on earth is this movie? Is Lance Henriksen the king of scuzzy villains? Did he live in New Orleans for like a decade for all these scuzzy NoLa villain turns? Plus, Mickey Rourke is a babe.
All this and more!

It's our latest theme month, the month of John, and we're kicking off with the delightful spoof: Johnny Dangerously!
Amy Heckerling's three classics, spoofing a dead genre, Disney rides teaching us about gangster films, Keaton absolutely killing it, and some real live-action cartoon zaniness!
All this and more!

It's the conclusion of I-May-Ginary Friends Month, easily the worst theme month in the history of this podcast!
We're visiting with Drop Dead Fred and asking a lot of questions, like: WHO IS THIS MOVIE FOR?! WHY ARE IMAGINARY FRIENDS SUCH ASSHOLES? Why is Carrie Fisher so chill about this enormous tragedy that happens!? What's Phoebe Cates arc supposed to be?!
All this and more!

Boy oh boy, how on earth did I watch this SO much as a kid?
It's a truly wretched Howie Mandel feature, Little Monsters! Why are the monsters so scary? Why is the underworld lit through 3D glasses? How bad are the Savage bros?
All this and more!

The conclusion of the not-sweaty-at-all Andrew Programs the Show in the Month of April: APTSITMOA!
We’re watching a ’90s movie about three Drag Queens changing a small town, with a buckwildly long title: To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar.

It’s the not-sweaty-at-all Andrew Programs the Show in the Month of April: APTSITMOA!
We're watching a '90s movie about to be remade: Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead! No, not Tyra Banks and Nicole Ritchie, it's Christina Applegate and scream queen Danielle Harris!
What are the rules of this movie? How is she not getting caught? What's up with her brother's flip flopping? Is this the best gravestone gag of all time?
All this and more!

It's the not-sweaty-at-all Andrew Programs the Show in the Month of April: APTSITMOA!
We're starting with an underseen slasher in Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker.
Is hiring Jan De Bont for one scene the greatest idea for production value ever conceived? How buckwild is this performance from Susan Tyrell?! All this and more!

Would this be better with Kurt as the Family Man role? Why isn't this just Summer Rental? Did Kurt forget he wasn't playing Snake Plissken? (Does Plissken have two consecutive Ss because his first name is snake?) 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.
