Two dads watching movies from our youth and trying to figure out if they hold up, should they be rebooted, and... should we force our kids to eventually watch them.

Happy Halloween everyone! From the team here at DMN we present to you an almost scary TV movie from the late 70s that Pete was willing to watch (because he said "I think I can handle this amount of scary"). Salem's Lot was an interesting choice because of the fact it was a TV mini-series that had to conform to ratings standards for broadcast TV. As…

The 80s were a magical time for teenage monster romcoms. We had so many questions on this charming, but weird, take on the vampire genre.

Oh boy do we love a good Michael Keaton movie. The man is a gosh darn national treasure! Which version of "Doug" did you like best?

Pete has been clamoring to rewatch this movie for years and the podcast finally relented (only because we had to draw out of a hat)... This movie has everything and all from the mind of Brian's "favorite" director Terry Gilliam. We also had a special guest, the one and only Alice!

Kevin Kline was on top of the world in the late 80s and early 90s. He's a gosh darn national treasure. Only the likes of Sigourney Weaver could outdo him here!

We asked the kids to join us for the first time and get their thoughts on a movie we did in our first season! This movie and the kid's reactions were an absolute joy!

I was a skeptic. I shouldn't have been. Man, Leslie Neilson was a comedic genius. This was a surprise. And don't call me Shirley.

How can we resist your charms, Mr. Hanks? Short answer.... We can't! One of the more underrated Tom Hanks movies and this one did not disappoint! So many great moments that I had forgotten about. Enjoy!

The original pilot episode and we were joined by Pete's brother Mikey! This was one of Mikey's FAVORITE shows of his youth. Did it hold up? You be the judge! Pete, Brian, and Neil were definitely on board with this choice

Carl Weathers was one of the best action heroes of the silver screen in our youth. Who could forget Apollo Creed or Dillon? Epic stuff right there. This movie, however..... was not any of those. It was a wild entertaining ride that the three of us are still trying to figure out if we were left wanting more... or just wanting something else. But man…

This might be one of those movies that you MUST watch and implore your children to watch when they are old enough. Thanks to Neil for getting us to put this one on the pod. You'll laugh at the absurdity, you'l cry at the themes that are even more relevant today than ever. 5 Stars

So. Many. Questions.... A fantasy romp that wasn't allowed to credit Robin Williams because his agents didn't want his named to be used to "pimp their film". This was a wild, wonky, donkey ride of epic proportions. Not sure if we are recommending it or just want you to see it so we can ask you our questions. Amazing set design and the always amazin…

It's always night time. It's dark. It's a city. If aliens were incompetent and didn't know how to research or cite their sources. Brian came up with this one and to be honest it was a hoot! Weird, fun overacting, and a patina of earnestness that was refreshing. Was it good? Did it hold up? Should it be rebooted? hmmmmm......…

Weirdly accurate and one heck of a ride. The dads were on their best behavior because Brian's dad KIRBY was here!! This movie had everything except coherency... and we almost kinda wanted to like it.

On this trip down memory lane, Pete, Neil, and Brian take a look at a few episodes from the first season of our favorite Batman (the late Kevin Conroy). All we have to say is that it's better than we remember!!! Huzzah

Brian's brother Kevin joined us tonight for this seminal moment in Kevin's life. Lot's to talk about and even more questions. Should we pre-party our whiskey before this one or not?

We were joined by the one-and-only Giles (who is an amazing Gi Joe Artist) for this adventure. The dads get to be Real-'Merican "heroes" with the animated Gi Joe: The Movie. Serpentor forever!

Holy Cybertron, Batman! WE watched Orson Well's final movie performance and boy was it...... interesting? So many choices made, so many questions. Why did they kill everyone? My entire childhood destroyed in the first 13:42 of this classic. No wonder my therapist said I had trust issues. Enjoy!

John the MF Candy was so on point in this one that we have decided that Thanksgiving shall be renamed John Candy Appreciation Day from this day forward. What else can you say except that we are all still in awe of his acting and presence on screen. Whoa....

Brian liked a MUSICAL!!!! Probably only because of the death, horrific killing, and SPACE ALIENS! Also: Rick Moranis is a freaking national treasure!

That's right movie fans! Nick Cage is a bonafide action movie star! All the glory! All the Swagger! All the weirdness! Bunnies and mullets for EVERYONE! This was one for the history books!

Childhood nightmare fuel from the kind folks at Disney?!?!?! Pete and Brian had to brave this one ALL. BY. OURSELVES! Let's just say there was a lot of this movie that neither one of us remembered. A wild ride, indeed...

Definitely NOT Velocipastor.... Dr. Alan Grant joined us for this one (Giles loves cosplay) and we got to see Samuel L Jackson completely under utilized. Not a single mother-F-bomb in the whole movie!?!?! This one was one of the greats!
