I Am Your Father

It’s a little bit sci-fi! It’s a little bit fantasy! It’s a little bit country, a little bit rock n’ roll! It’s The Old Guard, a Netflix action romp about unkillable mercenaries, and it’s got the right mix of good cast and OK writing to make for a mostly-memorable popcorn flick. Are y’all listening to the end? Because we’re still offering sweets to the first person to write in! Follow us @iamyourfatherpod on Instagram and ding dang write to us at [email protected]! Intro music is “Mellow Cosmos” by Hakan Eriksson.

It’s skinsuit season! We did NOT talk about The Happytime Murders because EW GROSS NO NO NO, and instead we watched Under the Skin, the exact opposite of The Happytime Murders. Listen to the end -- we want to buy you sweets! Get in touch with us @iamyourfatherpod on Instagram and at [email protected]. Intro music is “Mellow Cosmos” by Hakan Eriksson.

The Martian is 10% plot, 90% dad jokes in space, and GOD BLESS IT FOR THAT. Y’all listening to the very end? Because we’re offering free sweets to whoever writes us first: [email protected]. You can also find us @iamyourfatherpod on Instagram. Intro music is “Mellow Cosmos” by Hakan Eriksson.

This week we cover the new(ish) Nicolas Cage/Spectrevision joint and realize about an hour into recording that WHOOPS THE ORIGINAL MATERIAL IS SUPER RACIST. Talking points include body horror, our blindness to the Black experience of watching and reading horror, and Fairuza Balk. And if we haven’t been clear about this: Black lives matter. End of story. Intro music is “Mellow Cosmos” by Hakan Eriksson. Contact us at [email protected] or on Instagram @iamyourfatherpod.

WE’RE BACK THANK JEBAS! We’re discussing the original 1982 installation of TRON, a silly movie made lovingly by nerds and starring a beardless Jeff Bridges. Somehow we manage to springboard off of what could otherwise be 80’s visual fluff and onto of the genius of Depeche Mode, AI ethics, and late-stage capitalism. But hey! That’s what we do. Intro music is “Mellow Cosmos” by Hakan Eriksson. Follow us on Instagram @iamyourfatherpod and email us for ICE CREAM AND PASTRIES at [email protected] (We’re not kidding.)

Google Drive s&!t the bed and we're having a hard time getting the episodes together. We're working on it and you can look forward to TRON next week on Wednesday the 26th. See you then y'all!

We’re talking about GRIEF today through the lens of 2015’s The Invitation, featuring Logan Marshall-Green and Daario Naharis (Michiel Huisman, I KNOW). If you want a well-crafted movie with a genuine twist, WATCH BEFORE YOU LISTEN! Don’t let us spoil it for you!

Get yourself a small pile of dirty dishes to clean and join us for our sleepiest, shortest episode yet! We’re talking maybe the 80sest movie of all 80s movies, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and we don’t have, you know, lots to say about it. Intro music is “Mellow Cosmos” by Hakan Eriksson. Find us on Instagram @iamyourfatherpod and email us for goodness’ sake at [email protected].

This week we’re talking about HBO’s docuseries I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, Michelle McNamara, and more than anything, the hometown we share with Michelle: Oak Park, IL. It’s a strange place that left all three of us feeling conflicted, not least of all because of its racial history. It’s a good convo, folks, so buckle in! Intro music is “Mellow Cosmos” by Hakan Eriksson. You can find us on Instagram @iamyourfatherpod and please do email us at [email protected].

Look, we may make some lofty claims about this sno-cone of a movie, but KING ARTHUR 2020 Y’ALL! Intro music is “Mellow Cosmos” by Hakan Eriksson.
