COMMANDO 1:01:57

1:01:57

Dads take a lot of heat, and deservedly so: Life in a patriarchy means that much of this society is a direct reflection of generations of Dads - we have FOUNDING FATHERS for chrissakes - so everything, good and bad (and let's face it, the scales are tipping the wrong way) must be laid at our feet. And yet: We will do anything for our kids. A-N-Y-T-…

Episode 21 - Smile 2 On this week’s car ride home, we try not to smile too much at yet another horror film, Smile 2. Naomi Scott gets a ton of respect from Tina and Stratis for her lead role in this fast-paced film. Stratis learns that horror movies can be multifaceted, who knew? Tina does a deep dive into demonic possession and ends up worrying ab…

RIP to the magnificent Teri Garr, perhaps one of the patron (matron?) saints of Dad movies. No one was realer, funnier, or more fully and charmingly human. She and Michael Keaton make a pretty good meal out of these ingredients; it's pretty clear why the Oscar noms wait in the offing. Listen, Michael Keaton is having a moment, and deservedly so; bu…

Megalopolis

Episode 20 - Megalopolis On this week’s car ride home, we visit the alternative world of New Rome, created by legendary Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola. The tables are turned and Stratis is the introspective movie critic while Tina is the curmudgeonly old man. Stratis gets lost in the film's “vibes” (in between short naps), while Tina thoug…

Joker: Folie à Deux

21d ago

Episode 19 - Joker: Folie à Deux On this week’s car ride home, we completely disagree on whether this Joaquin Phoenix/Lady Gaga Joker film is a deeply emotional tour-de-force or just a hack film. Stratis gets philosophical when he says “Truth is whatever the movie does to you,” and Tina goes off on a cigarette-smoke-and-lighting tangent. If you wan…

ROXANNE 53:25

Elevator pitch: I'd like to take a 19th century French melodrama and update it, eliminating the graphic violence and changing the famously heartbreaking ending. Also, we should set it in a small town full of horny old ladies. Studio Executive: Ok, here's a ton of money. Only one person can land that pitch: Total Dad favorite and comic dilettante St…

Saturday Night

Episode 18 - Saturday Night On this week’s car ride home, Saturday Night allows Stratis to relive his youth through the lens of a favorite late-night show that drove ’70s popular culture – Saturday Night Live. On the other hand, Tina is forced to endure a lackluster biopic that she compares to a superhero movie. Comedic genius George Carlin is poor…

Confession: at the grocery store with my family, I will often and without warning turn suddenly a full 360 degrees in either direction while exclaiming "Crazy Ivan!" Let no one say this movie doesn't have a lasting impact. Baldwin! Connery! Glenn! Neill! Curry! Vance! Skarsgard! and James Earl Jones (RIP)! Who doesn't love a submarine movie? NOT DA…

The Substance

Episode 17 - The Substance On this week’s car ride home, we debate whether The Substance is a masterpiece or a monstrosity, and we both have strong opinions on which one it is. Stratis wants to know why his daughter took him to a movie with so much female nudity, while Tina was just enjoying the vibes. Somehow we go off on a tangent about the cars …

(OK fine, Harrison Ford was probably our hook at the time, but now... well, he still kicks ass in this flick) ALSO: Sigourney Weaver! Melanie Griffith! Joan MFing Cusack! Olympia MFing Dukakis! Oliver Platt! (and yeah, Alec Baldwin and …

Episode 16 - Beetlejuice Beetlejuice On this week’s car ride home, we talk about whether you can bring a demon back from the great beyond, and if you can, would he still be funny. Stratis starts off by wanting to know why they ruined his beloved movie from the ’80s, and Tina is obsessing about the relationship between Lydia (Winona Ryder) and Beetl…

Before Vince Vaughn was America's doughy best friend and Jon Favreau was launching Iron Man and the Mandalorian (that guy loves armor, huh?), these two babyfaces shot a shoestring comedy that captures the brief moment in America when chain wallets, indoor smoking, and swing dancing were not just tolerated but were emblematic of a lifestyle that can…

Borderlands

Episode 15 - Borderlands On this week’s car ride home, we discuss whether Borderlands is nothing more than a live-action play-through of a video game, and if either Tina or Stratis can be called a real gamer. We cover Stratis’ love of the first three minutes, before the film devolves into a First-Person Shooter. Grab your favorite BFG and let's hea…

Get busy Daddin', or get busy podcastin'. Carve your names into the eaves with the Dads as we attempt to break free from Frank Darabont's Steven King adaptation par excellence (featuring Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins, and the voice of Mr. Krabs), 1994's THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION.Από τον Mike Dorval, Tooky Kavanagh, David Rabinow

Episode 14 - Bad Boys: Ride or Die On this week’s car ride home, we try to figure out what you can learn about a romantic relationship by pulling out your fingernails, then we see if Will Smith and Martin Lawrence can single-handedly take down the entire narco/government/police state. We both thought every actor in this movie was in their own separ…

Wait, Sidney Poitier directed this? Huh. Ok, then. Pryor. Wilder. Poitier. Every Dad is born having seen this movie. It combines everything Dads know about the criminal justice system with everything Dads know about the rodeo. It's why your Dad is neither a lawyer nor a cowboy. Get your chicken costumes out because we're watching the comedy smash o…

Episode 13 - Alien This week we ditch the car for a walk around the block as we delve into the classic sci-fi horror film Alien (1979). Along for this walk is Tina’s chihuahua, Frankie, who tries to eat too much grass. This was Tina’s first viewing of the classic film, although she has fond memories of Disney’s Great Movie Ride in Orlando, where Si…

This movie features an all-time complicated Dad (John Mahoney), and is helmed by the wunderkind (Cameron Crowe) that launched a string of Dad movies, so you can- Hang on; just give me a second? (Goes to window; opens it) "It's after 2:00 am; goodnight, Lloyd." (Closes window) Sorry. That kid is out here every night blasting his Peter Gabriel. Which…

An odd companion piece to last week's episode (THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS) featuring another aspect of human existence (this week: ASD, last week: trans awareness) that in 2024 we have a vastly more informed cultural relationship to than we did at the time of these movies' respective releases. AND YET, I think it's fair to say that our deepened under…

THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS 56:12

56:12

Hannibal Lecter has been in the news recently for reasons both dumb and stupid. But Anthony Hopkins' performance is anything but - the only thing scarier than this film is the prospect of another four years of [REDACTED]. Speaking of presidential trauma, Jodie Foster is equally incredible in this flick. Dads love Jodie Foster, because her movies ar…

MEN IN BLACK 53:17

53:17

America has had a lot of Dads. The good (Michael Landon, Barack Obama), the bad (Bill Cosby, Alec Baldwin), and the confusingly discordant (RIP Bob Saget/Danny Tanner). But we submit here that America's greatest Dad is almost never pictured with an actual son or daughter, yet nonetheless appears in many films as a distant-yet-deeply-caring-dispense…

THREE MEN AND A BABY 55:55

3M ago55:55

55:55

Inside each of us is three Dads... (I've made this joke already, but c'mon) You've got a Guttenberg - sensitive and clueless. You've got a Danson - dashing and egomaniacal. You've got a Selleck - rugged and protective. These Dads are engaged in a relentless battle for dominance within you. When you suddenly have a baby (and I sincerely hope none of…

GET TO THE CHOPPAH! (Dads love a good Arnold impression) The Dads turn on their thermal vision to dissect the film that launched the handshake that launched a thousand memes. Schwarzenegger. Weathers. Ventura. Van Damme (in absentia). And a bunch of vaguely problematic Dad stereotypes that somehow age like fine wine. It's John McTiernan's horror-ac…

HIDDEN FIGURES 53:09

Listen, the Dads make no secret of our political leanings: would we would prefer this country and its institutions be run by women of color? LIKELY. Is this a topical issue at the moment? PERHAPS. Are we feeling (cautiously) hopeful right now? MAYBE. Did we want to honor this unprecedented time in American history by talking about a film wherein Bl…

Inside every one of us are two Dads, fighting for supremacy. One looks like Jack Cates. One looks like Reggie Hammond. Do I have to tell you which one to listen to? The Dads carefully dissect the not-at-all problematic and hugely influential "buddy" cop comedy from 1982 (featuring the breakout performance from Eddie Murphy), Walter Hill's 48 HOURS.…

Sometimes - maybe most of the time? - we don't fully appreciate our Dads until we've had a chance to reflect on them. Their tiny brilliances, their hidden diamond facets behind their seemingly-workaday veneer...these can sometimes go unremarked upon until one day you look up and realize OH SHIT MY DAD IS THE BEST COMEDY OF THE 80S. Am I conflating …

True story: My Dad purchased a bunch of tvs from an electronics store. He was informed that he would receive a discount if he signed up for their in-house credit card. So he (of course) proceeded to do so under a fake name because everyone knows that LAWS DO NOT APPLY TO DADS. When asked for his name for the card he said: "Bond. Fenimore Bond." I t…

1:00:12

How rare is it for a movie to serve as a primer on how to both BE and NOT BE a Dad? This film is the "Scared Straight" of Dad movies. Also Ted Kramer is a lousy person who is capable of great things. Or a great person who does a lot of lousy things. Is it any wonder that Dustin Hoffman won an Oscar? Meryl Streep, Jane Alexander, and Justin Henry al…

THE KING OF KONG: A FISTFUL OF QUARTERS 56:25

56:25

Perhaps we don't touch on the dark side of Dads often enough. But ask anyone who's even been, had, or known a Dad and they'll tell you it's there. The obsessiveness, the pettiness, the gatekeeping... it's all there. Perhaps (as this podcast occasionally posits) the real merit of a Dad comes from our ability to recognize and (hopefully) evolve into …

Happy Upcoming Father's Day! In honor of the holiday, and in the (very Dad) spirit of making amends for mistakes made years prior, we present this VERY Dad-centric original vision of the 1980 sequel to SUPERMAN: THE MOTION PICTURE. For reasons (see: capitalism), the original theatrical release was credited to Richard Lester after Richard Donner (or…

THE MALTESE FALCON 55:13

Dads love two things: MacGuffins and culturally irrelevant impressions. This film gives our Dads the chance to enjoy the ur-MacGuffin while dusting off our best Bogey (or even our Peter Lorre!) for the eyerolled "amusement" of our progeny. Also, it's one of the greatest movies ever mad yada yada yada. This week: John Huston's 1941 hard-boiled noir-…

Every Dad knows: you gotta take out the trash. What every Dad comes to learn: done correctly, taking out the trash is a vacation. A brief respite from the demands of family interaction, a chance to ever-so-briefly immerse oneself in a larger world. Trash has value: spiritual and emotional value. BLOODSPORT is trash. It is eminently disposable and p…

Discussion of this magnificent film inspired Dad Mike to say: "I'm going full Harrison Butker on The Girthmaster." I can't think of a stronger endorsement to listen to a deep Porn Dad discussion of Paul Thomas Anderson's 1997 masterpiece BOOGIE NIGHTS.

Perhaps the most Dad-spirational movie of all time, this movie features beautiful people doing cool stuff in a fantasy city.

But the truth is: most of us are Julia Roberts: blissfully unaware of the danger at the edges of o…
