TDM: Total Dad Movies with Tooky, Dave, & Mike
Mike and Dave are two Gen X Dads who grew up watching movies because there was nothing else to do. Tooky is a Millennial dad-in-training who grew up with the internet, and thus never needed to watch ROAD HOUSE on cable. Mike (a standup comedian) and Dave (an improviser and occasional academic) will present Tooky (comedian, social critic and dad-in-training) with a new (old) movie every week and answer the important questions: Are white people ok? When did Nic Cage become a whole thing?Are these movies good, or are Mike and Dave wallowing in toxic nostalgia? Every Tuesday, TDM promises to bridge the generation gap, one dad movie at a time.
Intro/outro music: "It's Almost Late Night" from the album WE HAD A GOOD RUN by Dave Rabinow, available at www.daverabinow.com

BOWFINGER
What's the greatest Eddie Murphy performance?
COMING TO AMERICA? Maybe.
48 HOURS? Ok.
DREAMGIRLS? Sure; he was nominated for an Oscar.
NORBIT? ...
All fine choices (except for NORBIT). But for the true Dad Connoisseur, you can't beat Eddie as action movie hero Kit Ramsey AND Kit's homely brother Jiff in a performance for the ages (alongside American treasure Steve Martin) in Frank Oz's criminally-overlooked 1999 L.A. satire BOWFINGER!
