| 6/23/26 | ![]() WALL STREET | Before Charlie Sheen was...you know, "Charlie [makes cuckoo gestures with hands] Sheen" he was a serious actor. Your mileage may vary, but he was for sure out there trying. And as one of Hollywood's most famous sons (acting across from his real-life Dad Martin), he alone makes this flick Dad-worthy. But wait - this movie also features one of the OG nepo babies: Michael Douglas (Kirk's boy), delivering an Oscar-winning performance. And it turns out this whole movie is (at least in part) ... | 51m 54s | ||||||

| 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! The Dads choose "treat" for both us and you with a surprise bonus John Carpenter episode, 1982's horror masterpiece (featuring Kurt Russell, pre-"diabeetus" Wilford Brimley, and Black All Star Keith David) THE THING! WHAT MAKES THIS A DAD MOVIE? 49:30 WHO'S YOUR DADDY? 53:00 THE KAVANAGH RATING: 56:15 | 1h 00m 33s | ||||||
| 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 | ||||||
| 9/30/25 | ![]() ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN | The Dads had just finished recording this episode when news of Robert Redford's death became public. Robert Redford did as much for cinema as any American ciitizen ever, and that certainly includes Dad movies. TD&M will spend the next few months dipping into Redford's unparalleled string of Dad hits, and today's film certainly qualifies: a perfect example of well-used star power (both in front of and behind the camera) to tell a story with a clear moral (Dads LOVE morals!) that reverberat... | 1h 01m 56s | ||||||
| 9/16/25 | ![]() APOLLO 13 | This week, in honor of this film's pear anniversary (and upcoming Imax release), the Dads dig into (in one Dad's opinion, anyway) Ron Howard's directorial masterpiece, a seamless blend of craft and scale that... hold on a minute... dad Tooky... did you say you watched this film... on a... a laptop?! (Dads Mike and Dave clutch their chests and die) Hanks! Harris! Quinlan! Bacon! Sinise! Paxton (not Pullman, goddammit Tooky)! Houston, we have a podcast: it's 1995's APOLLO 13! 48:00 - What makes... | 1h 05m 06s | ||||||
| 9/2/25 | ![]() NORTH BY NORTHWEST | It's the conclusion of HOT HITCHCOCK SUMMER! Snuggle up with the Dads in our sleeper car as they pay homage to the man who sort of invented the modern thriller. Despite it's lack of on-screen fatherhood, NXNW is a Dad movie through and through: Dads love traveling, and this flick is (literally) all over the map. Dads hate asking for directions - so does Cary Grant's Roger Thornhill (unless they're coming from Eva Marie Saint). And what Dad doesn't want to conclude his road trip at a maj... | 46m 51s | ||||||
| 8/19/25 | ![]() VERTIGO | Our Hot Hitchcock Summer Series continues! The Dads look deep within themselves through the eyes of ur-Dad James Stewart, and if you think he's in wholesome IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE mode here, boy, are you in for a surprise. Speaking of surprises, this film delivers three absolute stunning performances that belie reality: Jimmy Stewart as a semi-obsessive creeper (although maybe not totally surprising after his performance in REAR WINDOW; see our episode from July 8); Kim Novak falling for a man... | 54m 26s | ||||||
| 8/5/25 | ![]() CRIMSON TIDE | Oh, this is some down-the-middle Dad manna right here. Gene Hackman. The leading Dad face on the Dad Movie Mt. Rushmore (which, to be clear, is a virtual-only Mt. Rushmore and the Dads believe in indigenous rights); first-ballot inner circle Dad movie HOFer. Requiescat in pace. Denzel Washington. The only still-working challenger for Hackman's spot. No less than head #2 on our (virtual) Mt. DadMore. Probably our greatest living movie star. Tony Scott. One of the great Dad movie di... | 55m 23s | ||||||
