Greed. Oil. Blood...Milkshakes. Was Daniel Plainview a real family man or just an opportunistic one? Is Daniel Day-Lewis in a class of his own among actors? Was this a brilliant film score or just an annoying one? How geeky can 4 dads get talking about There Will Be Blood from 2007?

We breakdown the film with guest dad, Reid Messerschmidt, host of The Irrationally Exuberant podcast.

When does story become myth and when does myth become legend? Is it the power of the tale or power of the storyteller? We watched Big Fish (2003) and discussed the father-son relationship and how one's dreams impacted the other's perception. We also talk about our own family legends and storytelling.

Happy Yekaterina Bridge, you filthy ingrates. The end of 2020 is a welcomed sight for many and we can rejoice that we are not in a world like that of Snowpiercer (2013). We discuss class inequality, global warming, and a desire to provide a better future for the next generation, through this dystopian view of the world from director Bong Joon Ho.

Have you ever wanted to know who the true author of Citizen Kane was? No, probably not, but we did, so we watched Mank from 2020 and Citizen Kane from 1941. We discuss how Herman J. Mankiewicz influenced the greatest movie of all time (?) and the impact it had on director David Fincher. We also search for more black-and-white movies for Brade to enjoy.

Come, as we ensorcell you with the latest from Aaron Sorkin, The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020). We discuss how the events of the 1968 Democratic National Convention have odd parallels to the events of today. We marvel at the brillance of Sorkin and his restraint with some of the portrayals.

We discuss our connection to Western movies, as well as the original source of these films, Seven Samurai.

Also, our love for an ensemble cast, the origin of "assembling the team",  and how the pace of films is impacted by eras and technology.
