Dissecting The 80s

Author: Tripp and Andrew Laino

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.

A bit of an odd duck from 1990: Dabney Coleman's leading turn in Short Time, the tale of a cop who thinks he's dying and needs to die on duty to earn his life insurance. Is this just Last Holiday? Why has this not been remade yet? Why can't this movie pick a lane? All this and more! Want more Dissecting the 80s?
