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

NO WAY OUT
Boy, they don't make 'em like this anymore, do they?
This movie launched Costner, rebooted Hackman's career, and should've elevated Sean Young into the stratosphere. Alas. But if you were wondering what was going through every Gen Xers mind when they rented a prom limo, well, now you know.
Keep your eyes open for Yuri and join the Dads as they trek back to 1987 for Roger Donaldson's NO WAY OUT.
(By the way, Paul Anka's NO WAY OUT pales before Phil Collins' AGAINST ALL ODDS in the battle for 80s romantic thriller theme tunes, but that's just one Dad's opinion)
