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

ANY GIVEN SUNDAY
Happy Thanksgiving! Dads love the Three Fs: family, feasting, and football. So we thought it might make for a nice opportunity to watch one of the most realistic and grounded sports films ever made.
Just kidding. Calling this movie "batshit crazy" does a disservice to guano. Oliver Stone and an all-star cast go full cuckoo bananas in a movie that the Dads fully recommend you boot up immediately after dinner in an effort to avoid uncomfortable political discussions. Trust us: you can't argue about anything when (spoiler alert!) a DUDE GETS HIS DANGED EYE KNOCKED OUT IN A PLAYOFF GAME.
Jamie Foxx. Al Pacino. Cameron Diaz. ANN-flippin'-MARGRET? The 90s were wild, man. Enjoy 1999's ANY GIVEN SUNDAY!
