Both flights are T8 - do I still have to collect and drop off luggage, then do security again? If so, 1hr 25 seems awfully tight, especially as I’m travelling with my dad who’s not the fastest mover these days, and doesn’t have TSA Pre.

If luggage is tagged through, should be ok - although any delays will obviously eat in to that
You most likely will have to change concourses within T8, which requires a long escalator down, a shortish walk on a moving sidewalk, and a long escalator up, but still this should be an easy and very doable connection.
