3 Dimensional Dads

TV Dads are some of the most relatable characters on television. They are funny, serious, wise… even a little bit sad. This installment of Dads on Screen, we’ll explore how TV Dads have been portrayed over the years, what kinds of roles they play, and we’ll tell you about our favorites!

In this episode, the Three Dimensional Dads talk about the balance of screen time and hands-on activities with their kids. What are their philosophies, strategies and do they work for giving us a break from technology? Watch on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

On this episode of 3 Dimensional Dads, it’s the latest in our series “Dads on Screen” or DOS and we discuss themes of fatherhood in the Pixar film catalog.

Ever since the little animated desk lamp started hopping up and down on the big screen, Pixar has been rolling out movies that make families jump out of their seats. Films from Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, and Luca are explored for themes of fatherhood.

Suit up, folks, because we're diving headfirst into the MCU with a review of Captain America: Brave New World. Did Sam Wilson finally decide to take that super-soldier serum? Did we cheer when we saw Red Hulk smash things? Or did we just spend the whole time arguing about whether adamantium can break vibranium?

Join the Three Dimensional Dads as we break down the movie, share what made us geek out (a Han Solo rage monster, obviously!), and what left us scratching our heads. (Celestial, we’re looking at you!)
