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

BLOODSPORT
Every Dad knows: you gotta take out the trash.
What every Dad comes to learn: done correctly, taking out the trash is a vacation. A brief respite from the demands of family interaction, a chance to ever-so-briefly immerse oneself in a larger world.
Trash has value: spiritual and emotional value.
BLOODSPORT is trash.
It is eminently disposable and probably toxic, AND YET... for 85 glorious minutes, watching it provides the kind of Dad-cation that we glimpse on our weekly runs out to the curb. Join us as we drag our cans to the couch for Newt Arnold's 1988 Van Damme slam jam BLOODSPORT.
