The Gen X Files

Welcome to All That ZAZ! First up is The Kentucky Fried Movie, the movie that Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and David Zucker made because they couldn't get any studios to bite on Airplane! It's a barrage of sketch comedy that pushes the envelope as far as they can. Starring (with less than one minute of screen time total), Bill Bixby, George Lazenby, and Donald Sutherland. With support from Henry Gibson and Evan C. Kim. Directed by John Landis!

Join your ol' stepdads as we discuss the weather, new movies and TV shows, how many video games we aren't playing, and just generally aging gracefully. Or something. Oh, and we talk about politics! We know you've been waiting for this!

To close out our Good Presidents month, we end with the toughest President ever put on screen: Harrison Ford in Air Force One. Co-starring Gary Oldman, Wendy Crewson, Paul Guilfoyle, William H. Macy, Liesel Matthews, and Dean Stockwell, with gritty direction from Wolfgang Peterson. Ford might force you off your plane, but you won't want to leave this thrill ride.

For our next President in our Good Presidents month, we hit up the quintessential American President: The American President. Generic name? Sure. Love story or political drama? Both. With amazing performances from Michael Douglas, Annette Bening, Martin Sheen, David Paymer, Samantha Mathis, and Michael J. Fox; witty writing from Aaron Sorkin; and deft direction from Rob Reiner, the American President is a movie that we need right now.

Welcome to Good Presidents month! We're starting with the man that wasn't technically the President, just someone that looked just like him: Dave! Starring Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver, along with a bevy of amazing actors, and directed with a deft hand by Ivan Reitman, this is the feel-good comedy that will give you the gut punch of hope that we all desperately need right now.

Join your ol' Stepdads as we discuss more adult animation, what we've been watching in movies and TV, and finally getting some good video games back.

We're finishing out our teen toons month with the adult animated sword and sorcery epic, Fire and Ice. With animation from Ralph Bakshi and Frank Frazetta and a script from two Conan comic book writers, and support work from Thomas Kincade, James Gurney, and Peter Chung, you'd think this movie would be better. It looks really pretty! But, that's about it.

This time, we cover an obscure 1982 animated French feature from René Laloux and Moebius. It's The Time Masters, the super weird and quite amazing sci-fi adventure. The animation is fascinating, the story is simple, and it is insanely French.

Today, we cover what is definitely an adult animated film that inspired a ton of creators: Heavy Metal. From the magazine that was first published in the US in 1977, Ivan Reitman saw the value of adult animation and produced a pretty good anthology film.

Featuring the voice talents of John Candy, Eugene Levy, and a ton of others!It's a classic!

Now pass me the Plutonium Nyborg.

For our first foray into Teen Toons, we're covering what Ralph Bakshi considered to be a 'family film', the super weird Wizards. Combining cartoonish animation, rotoscoping, and a guest appearance from the worst dictator in history, Wizards is a movie you will never forget.
