A night to remember the classics.
Dear Lord help us! We’ve gone back to the well already! It seemed like a good moment to go back to a simpler time when you could make a movie about little creatures terrorizing a small time traveling carnival and expect to make a tidy profit at the box office… or else we’re replacing you with ladies mud wrestling! Find out if we found this entertaining…
The movie Hackers was a seminal film for one of the two Dads… at this point it’s probably obvious who, but I’ll let you find out inside. In this episode we try something a little new and invite two other parents to be a part of the fun… The 2 Moms!
A movie chosen by a teenager for two Dads to watch on their own. Does the concept of “Scary Clown Face” hold up in 2024? Can our two Dads remember the plot of this movie, having watched it the day before? Tune in to find out!
Strange Brew is an all time classic to one of us and the other is just being introduced to it. Does it hold up for a dad in 2024? We will see.
Little Giants is a 199 family film that only one of us had fond memories of, but that didn’t stop us from having a good time with this light hearted feel good film. Does some of the plot not make sense on a basic level? sure. but lets look past that and look at it from the eyes of two dads who have little girls who sometimes want to tackle us and hurt us.
The Monster Squad is a movie that never really found its footing in the time it was released, But has come to be loved by many people through rentals and word of mouth. Will Q discover a new classic? or will this be relegated to the dusty video store of history?
This week we discuss an 80’s comedy cashgrab that is so mixed up and confused about which kind of movie it wants to be that it never really gets started and then it’s over. Mercifully, thankfully, over.
This week it’s Mark’s choice for a movie and he chose one that is possibly the most Australian film since Croc Dundee. Starring Henry Thomas WHOM YOU LOVED IN E.T… as a young eccentric inventor who is going on a quest to solve the murder of a hobo friend of his… or something like that.
This week we get back on track and have a special guest help tackle a movie that some of us remember, but have any of us really seen? The Police Academy movies are memorable to anyone who grew up in the 1980’s. For a little stretch they were some of the most popular and profitable movies on the planet, launching the careers of Bobcat Goldthwait, Kim Catrall and Steve Guttenberg. But this is the 5th movie in the series so none of those stars are here. What we are left with is a cash grab stuffed with cliches. Lets take our well known formula and set it in a new local and see if we can squeeze some more dollars out of these theater going rubes. Enoy the Show!
We tackle a movie that’s a blind spot for one of us and a classic for another. What do we thing about it? Listen and find out. Ghoulies is a movie that I was definatley aware of, but had never seen. I think I didn’t watch it when I was in my prime horror movie watching years and then it just never felt like the right movie to watch. But I was excited to tackle it when Q suggested it for a movie night watch.
