Dumb Dialogue with Dad

Spoiler Alert: We're talking about Michael.

We share our thoughts on the performances, the music, and the moments that left the biggest impression on us. From the emotional scenes to the unforgettable performances, we discuss what worked, what stood out, and how the film captures the legacy of one of the greatest entertainers of all time.

Of course, it wouldn't be Dumb Dialogue with Dad without a few laughs, some different perspectives, and plenty of back-and-forth as we break it all down. Whether you're a lifelong Michael Jackson fan or just saw the movie, pull up a seat and join the conversation.

Spoiler Alert: We talk about Obsession again.

We may be a little...obsessed with the movie Obsession because we couldn't leave it alone, so we're back for round two and this time, Aurie joins the conversation. After sitting with the movie a little longer, we realized there was still a lot to unpack. We revisit the twists, the uneasy atmosphere, and all those moments that had us questioning everybody's motives. We also break down the performances (because a look can say more than a page of dialogue), share a few theories, and talk about the choices that made this movie so hard to shake.

As always, the conversation goes in a few unexpected directions, with different opinions, plenty of laughs, and Aurie bringing a fresh perspective to the table. If you've seen Obsession and wanted to hear a family debate everything from the characters to the ending (again), this episode is for you.

Spoiler Alert: We talk about Obsession, and a little about Jeepers Creepers

In this episode, we’re unpacking the tense, intoxicating world of Obsession, a film that feels like it’s breathing down your neck the entire time. The visuals are slick and the pacing is deliberate. We talk about how the movie builds pressure without ever exploding, and why that makes every scene feel like a loaded trap.

We get into the performances (the leads were acting with their eyeballs, yall), the moments that had us side‑eyeing each other in the dark, and the themes of longing, secrecy, and unraveling that "stick with you long after you leave the theater" vibe.

In the shadow of the COVID 19 Global Pandemic, the Dumb Dialogue with Dad Podcast started on this day six years ago. Our first episode was rantings and ravings about Gen Z vs Millennials so to celebrate our 6-year Pod-aversary, we are releasing a remastered version of that first episode. Even though it has been remastered, there are still some clear indications that we were beginners on the production side, but this episode was so much fun to record.

Here's to many more years of the Dumb Dialogue with Dad Podcast! 🥂

SPOILER ALERT: The episode contains spoilers for every single Scream movie.

Scream is an iconic horror slasher franchise that has managed to remain relevant for 30 years. Some installments of the franchise are undeniably great, while others...are not. Tune in as we discuss if Scream 7 lives up to the hype or not.
