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.

TDM: Total Dad Movies with Tooky, Dave, & Mike
GOODFELLAS
Dads love order. We like routine, a hierarchy, knowing where we stand at all times.
The Mob provides the illusion of order.
This movie reveals what a life of organized crime really entails: chaos, anxiety, terror, and senseless violence.
This movie is an anti-Dad instructional video, and should be required viewing for all Dads. They should have it running in the delivery and waiting rooms. There should be an AI-generated Paul Sorvino PSA warning Dads to shape up inserted at regular intervals during these hospital screenings.
This movie will make you a better Dad if you do the opposite of everything in this movie. Be a shnook, willya? And enjoy your noodles and ketchup.
DeNiro. Pesci. Liotta. Bracco. Scorcese's masterpiece from 1990: GOODFELLAS.
