Two dads watching movies from our youth and trying to figure out if they hold up, should they be rebooted, and... should we force our kids to eventually watch them.

How can we resist your charms, Mr. Hanks? Short answer.... We can't! One of the more underrated Tom Hanks movies and this one did not disappoint! So many great moments that I had forgotten about. Enjoy!

The original pilot episode and we were joined by Pete's brother Mikey! This was one of Mikey's FAVORITE shows of his youth. Did it hold up? You be the judge! Pete, Brian, and Neil were definitely on board with this choice

Carl Weathers was one of the best action heroes of the silver screen in our youth. Who could forget Apollo Creed or Dillon? Epic stuff right there. This movie, however..... was not any of those. It was a wild entertaining ride that the three of us are still trying to figure out if we were left wanting more... or just wanting something else. But man…

If you ever wondered if Christian Bale would make a movie where his character's name was Jum-Jum..... then look no farther! Brian chose this gem of a movie for Neil and Pete and if they weren't mesmerized, stupefied . . . dare I say even justified with everything they said about it.

This might be one of those movies that you MUST watch and implore your children to watch when they are old enough. Thanks to Neil for getting us to put this one on the pod. You'll laugh at the absurdity, you'l cry at the themes that are even more relevant today than ever. 5 Stars

So. Many. Questions.... A fantasy romp that wasn't allowed to credit Robin Williams because his agents didn't want his named to be used to "pimp their film". This was a wild, wonky, donkey ride of epic proportions. Not sure if we are recommending it or just want you to see it so we can ask you our questions. Amazing set design and the always amazin…

What an adventure! We went down memory lane with one of the OGs of horror, George Romero's Night of the Living Dead and boy have horror movies come a long way since then. That girl eating her mother's intestines though.... yay!! Not to be outdone, Neil brought in an underrated deep cut from the wayback. Black Christmas is one to check out for sure!…

Do you remember the movie that Robin Williams got to extra Robin Williams and then Robin Williamsed all over his Robin Williams? Yeah. Kinda like that.

The anti-DARYL. What a fun ride. Pee-Wee, you were awesome in this one. We realized that we have been having issues with the audio and we promise the next episode will )hopefully) fix the issue. Something about batteries dying or something. An

We sorta remember this movie.... We wish we had remembered how much it was unlike Conan. Neil was our saving grace, Brian had fun, and Pete's microphone was up too loud for his giggle fit. Not the best audio and our apologies are for naught because we refuse to go back and watch it again

It's always night time. It's dark. It's a city. If aliens were incompetent and didn't know how to research or cite their sources. Brian came up with this one and to be honest it was a hoot! Weird, fun overacting, and a patina of earnestness that was refreshing. Was it good? Did it hold up? Should it be rebooted? hmmmmm......…

Weirdly accurate and one heck of a ride. The dads were on their best behavior because Brian's dad KIRBY was here!! This movie had everything except coherency... and we almost kinda wanted to like it.

We LOVE the JVCD, buuuuuuut.... this movie was hubris on our part. It's like when you have 87 minutes to eat an 8lb burger (with fries and a coke) and you're down to that final 1/3 of the meal..... you realize you Do, in fact, have the time to finish... buuuuuuuuutya just don't really 'need' it and you know you're going to hate yourself in the morn…

On this trip down memory lane, Pete, Neil, and Brian take a look at a few episodes from the first season of our favorite Batman (the late Kevin Conroy). All we have to say is that it's better than we remember!!! Huzzah

Whoa Brian.... just, whoa. After watching this forgotten gem of a flick Neil and Pete understand the inner workings of Brian's brain a little bit more. So much weirdness. So much wild and colorful animation. So many questions.

This was . . . . uh. . . . interesting? Definitely not what Pete remembered but overall fun was had by all. Is it Daryl? No, nothing is quite as bad as Daryl but this one tried REALLY hard.

So we have a confession. Both Neil and Pete had not seen this absolute banger of a lost gem. If you haven't seen Captain Ron, well.... buckle up! This could happen to anybody ;p

If you build it.... he will come. Iconic. we had a blast going down memory lane with this one. We have questions though. Is hell a cornfield in Iowa? It clearly isn't heaven (Kevin Costner was asked and he said definitively that it wasn't heaven. Anywhoooooo James Earl Jones is the man in every single role he's done.…

The movie sequel that America deserves. So much 'Merica. So much winning. Top Cruise must run. Run Tom, RUN! A special Dad's Movie Night when we went to the movies and podcasted from the parking lot after the show. We enjoyed this one!

High way to the danger zone! We got the highs, and lows and to be honest I'm not sure we all remember this movie accurately. Worst movie kiss of. all. time.

Holy Cybertron, Batman! WE watched Orson Well's final movie performance and boy was it...... interesting? So many choices made, so many questions. Why did they kill everyone? My entire childhood destroyed in the first 13:42 of this classic. No wonder my therapist said I had trust issues. Enjoy!

We're back from an extended hiatus because of... well... you know... WE watched The Beastmaster!! Holy crap we have questions. Why a zigggurat? Why only shoot every ziggurat scene in the same hallway? Why does Rip Thorn chew every scene so well? Why ferrets? Why have lounge loin cloths and formal loin cloths? Decisions were made.…

John the MF Candy was so on point in this one that we have decided that Thanksgiving shall be renamed John Candy Appreciation Day from this day forward. What else can you say except that we are all still in awe of his acting and presence on screen. Whoa....

Brian liked a MUSICAL!!!! Probably only because of the death, horrific killing, and SPACE ALIENS! Also: Rick Moranis is a freaking national treasure!

It's the most wonderful time of the year.... We screamed for this one! OMG what a hoot!

Pete was scared. Should he have been? Probably not. This one is a 'classic' in the loosest sense of the word. A great episode and fun was had by all.

This one was totally Pete's fault. He took us on the turnpike to the danger place. So many questions, so few answers.... Where did those two girls come from?!?!?

That's right, folks! Samwise Gamgee was a punk kid that was sent to an elite boarding school. When Colombian terrorists take the school hostage it's up to Samwise to 'carry the burden' of kicking ass and taking names in this "Brian chose this one" CLASSIC!

Definitely NOT Velocipastor.... Dr. Alan Grant joined us for this one (Giles loves cosplay) and we got to see Samuel L Jackson completely under utilized. Not a single mother-F-bomb in the whole movie!?!?! This one was one of the greats!
