| 9/1/26 | CLUE | Part of being a Dad is facing - and even embracing - loss. All states are transitional, but you hope that you leave behind something that your kids (and maybe even their kids) can hold onto, something that says: "This is who I was, and this is what I believe." Tim Curry was notably (and justifiably) slippery in his life; he didn't loop us in on all the details, as was his right. What he does leave us (and I guess we're all his metaphorical kids in this exercise) is an astounding guide t... | 57m 13s | ||||||
| 8/18/26 | THE ODYSSEY | We usually stay away from movies still showing in theaters, but we had to make an exception for the movie event of the summer, which dares to ask the question: What if beloved Dad filmmaker Christopher Nolan made the world's biggest, longest, most discussed Dad Movie (tm) of all time? He loves his kid! He loves his wife! He refuses to ask for directions! Odysseus is truly the Daddest of all Dads. Join Dads Tooky, Dave, & Mike as we dig into the film of 2026: THE ODESSEY | 56m 33s | ||||||
| 8/4/26 | CON AIR (encore presentation) | Guys, the Dads are all over the country taking some much-deserved vacations with their biological and hand-selected families. It's that time in the summer when the good movies have all come out (see you, THE ODYSSEY) and it's time to start taking out the trash (we see you, THE END OF OAK STREET), so we thought we'd revisit one of the absolute trashiest summer movies in the Dad canon. Enjoy this January 2025 episode about what might be the sweatiest movie ever: 1997's CON AIR. | 49m 51s | ||||||
| 7/21/26 | INCEPTION | Are you taking your dad to see THE ODYSSEY? Trick question: OF COURSE YOU ARE. That's because Christopher Nolan is your Dad's favorite director. He checks all the boxes for a Dad Movie Experience (tm): Emotional distance (obvi); Cool fights; Chance of Batman; Multiple timelines (Dads wear watches so we love occasional time dislocation); Sad Dad as hero; NO SEX. This summer, we celebrate YDFD Christopher Nolan by digging into 2010's INCEPTION, which ticks off 5 of the 6 above boxes (THE ... | 58m 08s | ||||||

| 11/25/25 | THE IRON CLAW | Tolstoy said "Every family is unhappy in its own way". Boy, would he have loved the Von Erichs. (Would Leo Tolstoy have enjoyed professional wrestling? I like to think so.) The Dads know Thanksgiving holidays can be rough (see: above); in that spirit, we bring you a movie that presents the story of a family that (hopefully) is way more f#$%ed up than yours. Seriously though - it's a very good flick (and a particular fave of Dads Dave and Mike, for reasons explained in the podcast); pull... | 1h 00m 51s | ||||||
| 11/12/25 | OVERBOARD | Kurt and Goldie! Dads love a long-term relationship! Goldie Hawn can do no wrong. It’s a Dad Movie credo. Kurt Russell’s Dean Profitt is perhaps the most feckless Dad we’ve encountered yet. Like, for real: ZERO FECKS GIVEN. Does it work? Does it matter? Kurt and Goldie baby in Garry Marshall’s 1987 morally-dicey rom-com OVERBOARD! What Makes This A Dad Movie? 38:15 Who’s Your Daddy? 42:00 The Kavanagh Rating 48:15 | 50m 57s | ||||||
| 10/31/25 | THE THING | HALLOWEEN BONUS EPISODE!

| 10/28/25 | THEY LIVE | Have a happy Halloween with this sci-fi creepfest from the Dads! You know what Dads love? Being right about something. So when John Nada (played with nihilistic aplomb by "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, RIP) realizes that the inherent unfairness of the world is actually a vast conspiracy, Dads everywhere stood and cheered. The fact that - 37 years later - this combination of societal distrust and feeling of victimization have been co-opted from John Carpenter's subversive satire into a political platfor... | 52m 36s | ||||||
| 10/14/25 | THE NATURAL | Dads love three things: Baseball; Robert Redford (RIP); A moral. Don't gamble and don't chase fast women and most of all DON'T THINK YOU'RE SUCH HOT POTATOES or you too might end up losing your prime seasons to bullet- and pride-related injuries. The Dads continue celebrating the singular career of Robert Redford (in time for October baseball, no less!) with our deep dive into Barry Levinson's 1984 called shot THE NATURAL. 54:00 What Makes This A Dad Movie? 57:30 Who's Your Daddy? 1:01 The Ka... | 1h 04m 58s | ||||||
