#240 Edward Scissorhands

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.

Absolutely love listening to these brothers every other week! Their comedic timing and encyclopedic movie knowledge makes listening fun and informative. It’s always fun to listen even when they review movies I’ve never seen before. They do an amazing job of catching me up on the plot while still making jokes and sprinkling in fun trivia facts about the movie. In fact, I’ve watched a couple of 80s movies based on their recommendation and they did not disappoint! 
Pro tip: if you haven’t seen the movie before, you should listen then watch the movie then listen again. You have a different POV for each listen and it’s like getting 2 podcast episodes for the price of one! Definite recommend for anyone who enjoys 80s classics, movie trivia, or just comedy in general! 
Can’t wait for the day they do The Neverending Story, and maybe sing a Stranger Things style duet...?
Keep up the great work, boys!

Great Movie Podcast!! Hilarity and Nostalgia Rolled into One!

I’m crushing hard for this consistently entertaining podcast. Funny but still intelligent.

Love this!
