Dad's Movie Night

Happy Halloween everyone! From the team here at DMN we present to you an almost scary TV movie from the late 70s that Pete was willing to watch (because he said "I think I can handle this amount of scary"). Salem's Lot was an interesting choice because of the fact it was a TV mini-series that had to conform to ratings standards for broadcast TV. As a result, Pete on had nightmares for 2 days! The kid tapping outside the second floor window ....

The 80s were a magical time for teenage monster romcoms. We had so many questions on this charming, but weird, take on the vampire genre.

Oh boy do we love a good Michael Keaton movie. The man is a gosh darn national treasure! Which version of "Doug" did you like best? 

Pete has been clamoring to rewatch this movie for years and the podcast finally relented (only because we had to draw out of a hat)... This movie has everything and all from the mind of Brian's "favorite" director Terry Gilliam. We also had a special guest, the one and only Alice! 

Kevin Kline was on top of the world in the late 80s and early 90s. He's a gosh darn national treasure. Only the likes of Sigourney Weaver could outdo him here! 

We asked the kids to join us for the first time and get their thoughts on a movie we did in our first season! This movie and the kid's reactions were an absolute joy! 

I was a skeptic. I shouldn't have been. Man, Leslie Neilson was a comedic genius. This was a surprise. And don't call me Shirley.

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, it was a FUN ride!
