Dad's Movie Night

Episode 179: DMN E179 Battlestar Galactica

March 21, 2024 00:00 - 41 minutes - 75.7 MB

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

Episode 178: DMN E178 Action Jackson

March 21, 2024 00:00 - 39 minutes - 72.6 MB

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, it was a FUN ride!

Episode 177: DMN E177 Mio in the Land of Faraway

March 21, 2024 00:00 - 39 minutes - 72 MB

If you ever wondered if Christian Bale would make a movie where his character's name was Jum-Jum..... then look no farther! Brian chose this gem of a movie for Neil and Pete and if they weren't mesmerized, stupefied . . . dare I say even justified with everything they said about it.

Episode 176: DMN E176 Dr. Strangelove

January 04, 2024 00:00 - 44 minutes - 81.5 MB

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

Episode 175: DMN E175 The Adventures of Baron Munchausen

December 09, 2023 00:00 - 32 minutes - 58.9 MB

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 amazing Uma Thurman bring this story more gravitas than we expected.

Episode 173: DMN Toys

October 31, 2023 00:00 - 43 minutes - 79.2 MB

Do you remember the movie that Robin Williams got to extra Robin Williams and then Robin Williamsed all over his Robin Williams? Yeah. Kinda like that.

Episode 174: Dad's Movie Night Halloween Double Feature

October 31, 2023 00:00 - 41 minutes - 75.4 MB

What an adventure! We went down memory lane with one of the OGs of horror, George Romero's Night of the Living Dead and boy have horror movies come a long way since then. That girl eating her mother's intestines though.... yay!! Not to be outdone, Neil brought in an underrated deep cut from the wayback. Black Christmas is one to check out for sure!

Episode 172: Flight of the Navigator

October 04, 2023 00:00 - 46 minutes - 85.1 MB

The anti-DARYL. What a fun ride. Pee-Wee, you were awesome in this one. We realized that we have been having issues with the audio and we promise the next episode will )hopefully) fix the issue. Something about batteries dying or something. An

Episode 171: Red Sonja

October 04, 2023 00:00 - 38 minutes - 70.5 MB

We sorta remember this movie.... We wish we had remembered how much it was unlike Conan. Neil was our saving grace, Brian had fun, and Pete's microphone was up too loud for his giggle fit. Not the best audio and our apologies are for naught because we refuse to go back and watch it again

Episode 170: DMN S2 E42 Dark City

July 21, 2023 00:00 - 45 minutes - 83.1 MB

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......

Episode 169: DMN E42 The Lawnmower Man

May 23, 2023 00:00 - 38 minutes - 69.6 MB

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.

Episode 167: DMN E41 S2 Johnny Mnenomic

March 25, 2023 00:00 - 30 minutes - 55.7 MB

March 25, 2023 00:00 - 35 minutes - 65.3 MB

Episode 166: DMN E39 S2: Cyborg

March 25, 2023 00:00 - 37 minutes - 68.6 MB

We LOVE the JVCD, buuuuuuut.... this movie was hubris on our part. It's like when you have 87 minutes to eat an 8lb burger (with fries and a coke) and you're down to that final 1/3 of the meal..... you realize you Do, in fact, have the time to finish... buuuuuuuuutya just don't really 'need' it and you know you're going to hate yourself in the morning.

Episode 165: DMN S2: E38 Dick Tracy

March 24, 2023 00:00 - 41 minutes - 75.2 MB

November 30, 2022 00:00 - 35 minutes - 64.2 MB

Whoa Brian.... just, whoa. After watching this forgotten gem of a flick Neil and Pete understand the inner workings of Brian's brain a little bit more. So much weirdness. So much wild and colorful animation. So many questions.

October 05, 2022 00:00 - 39 minutes - 72.1 MB

Episode 155: DMN E28 S2 Captain Ron

September 12, 2022 00:00 - 39 minutes - 73.1 MB

So we have a confession. Both Neil and Pete had not seen this absolute banger of a lost gem. If you haven't seen Captain Ron, well.... buckle up! This could happen to anybody ;p

July 14, 2022 00:00 - 34 minutes - 62.8 MB

If you build it.... he will come. Iconic. we had a blast going down memory lane with this one. We have questions though. Is hell a cornfield in Iowa? It clearly isn't heaven (Kevin Costner was asked and he said definitively that it wasn't heaven. Anywhoooooo James Earl Jones is the man in every single role he's done.

June 14, 2022 00:00 - 20 minutes - 37 MB

The movie sequel that America deserves. So much 'Merica. So much winning. Top Cruise must run. Run Tom, RUN! A special Dad's Movie Night when we went to the movies and podcasted from the parking lot after the show. We enjoyed this one!

May 10, 2022 00:00 - 43 minutes - 79.2 MB

March 17, 2022 00:00 - 39 minutes - 72.5 MB

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!

Episode 143: DMN E16 S2 The Beastmaster

March 07, 2022 00:00 - 38 minutes - 69.9 MB

We're back from an extended hiatus because of... well... you know... WE watched The Beastmaster!! Holy crap we have questions. Why a zigggurat? Why only shoot every ziggurat scene in the same hallway? Why does Rip Thorn chew every scene so well? Why ferrets? Why have lounge loin cloths and formal loin cloths? Decisions were made.

December 02, 2021 00:00 - 45 minutes - 31.5 MB

October 09, 2021 00:00 - 36 minutes - 66.9 MB
