Not Your Father's Movies

Happy Halloween!

How did we get here? The same way the coin got here! We start this part going over the 2007 oscars! What won and what we think should have won. Then, we talk deeply about these movies and what on earth we think is going on in them. Last, we bring out ye ol' dad questions and ask whether these are all dad movies/a dad series.  This was a honest and interesting discussion for all of us. We hope you enjoy it. Happy Birthday Mike!

We are continuin' our new episode format. With this episode, we cover some cast and crew for these here three legends. We also got some mighty meaty nostalgia comin' your way.

Friends and Neighbors, we return this week to the land of magic and mayhem, the land of large creatures and even larger victories, we return one final time into the mind of the great, the inescapable, the indefatigable Steven Spielberg!  This is the moment you've been waiting for, the pinnacle, the finale, the whole purpose of this series - are JAWS, JURASSIC PARK, and THE BFG fit to enter the halls of the DAD CANON? The answer may move you, it may surprise you, it may threaten you - but we pray that you will stick through it to the end. You've gotten this far, my pretties. Don't give up now.

Friends and Neighbors, what's better than a whole new approach and a whole new series? NO IDEA when the episodes are going to drop! That's right, this was definitely on purpose. No it wasn't, we're busy/lazy people and today is the earliest we were able to publish. Sorry. THIS WEEK, we bring you back to the land of MOVIE MAGIC, the land that was discovered, built, and perfected by the one, the only - Steven Spielberg. That's right, we're going back to JAWS. Going back to JURASSIC PARK. And going back to... the BFG? Well, two and a half out of three ain't so bad. This week, we're talking about what we like, what we LOVED, and what we're kinda meh about. CHECK IT OUT! We'd love to hear from YOU about your thoughts on our new format, what we missed, or anything else you want to comment on.   Be sure to check back in NEXT WEEK for Part 3!

Friends and Neighbors, we come to you bearing glad tidings of great change. Small change. Well, some sort of change. With this next series, we're trying something ENTIRELY DIFFERENT with the formatting - instead of breaking up the episodes by movie, we're breaking them up by conversation.  Here, for our inaugural series of the new NYFM format, we have: STEVEN SPIELBERG CREATURE FEATURES! The films we are talking about here are Jaws, Jurassic Park, and Roald Dahl's BFG. That's right! Two of the biggest movies ever made, and a 'Oh, that one?' Wait and see, dear listener. Wait and see. We will be spending the next three weeks talking about everything we normally talk about here, but allowing some of the larger conversation to flow freely between and among the movies. What do we talk about? WHO! WHAT! WHERE! HOW! WITH! OTHER STUFF!  We'd love to hear from YOU about your thoughts on our new format, what we missed, or anything else you want to comment on.   Be sure to check back in NEXT WEEK for Part 2!

It is Dan's First Birthday Episode! In case you thought Dan was a normal, chill dude, be ready for some surprises in this episode. He chose to discuss two very strange, existentialist movies. The 2009 film by Jaco Van Dormael, Mr. Nobody and the 2013 film by Denis Villeneuve, Enemy. These are wild, intense, very adult, and our conversations are just as wild, intense, and somewhat adult. We dive into what the heck existentialist means, whether you have to like a movie for it to impact you in a meaningful way, and other light-hearted topics. We hope you enjoy this discussion and beware spoilers! Also, please check out Sirr's Furniture! He produces some amazing pieces of woodworking and we can personally vouch for the quality of his work.

Here is Vito's Second Annual Birthday Episode!   Last year, Vito wanted to cover choreography, both with musicals and fight choreography. And to cover that, Vito picked The Raid, The Raid: Berendal, and All That Jazz.   This year is totally different.   The discussion this year is computer generated images versus practical effects. Basically, we are using The Thing (1982) and The Thing (2011) to compare and contrast the two different approaches to special effects.   We hope you enjoy this discussion and beware spoilers!   Also, please check out Sirr's Furniture! He produces some amazing pieces of woodworking and we can personally vouch for the quality of his work.

NSFW: Crude jokes and language (except one of Mike's F-bombs are bleeped out for some reason. Why? Because I am mediocre.) This episode is so chrome. Its so shiny. Actually, it ain't shiny at all. Vito is under the weather, Jesse is sick as well, Dan's library ran out of wifi, and Mike read the word "Imperator" wrong. Its a strange episode and I love it. We have an amazing discussion about this insane action movie that is one of the most entertaining movies of all time.  We hope you enjoy the finale to the Cars Series! Is this a dad movie though? Or is it just mediocre? Also, please check out Sirr's Furniture! He produces some amazing pieces of woodworking and we can personally vouch for the quality of his work.

The third and perhaps most surprising installment in our CARS series (as in movies WITH cars, not the Cars movies) is Speed Racer! If you have seen this movie then you will understand when we warn you this episode is fast, exciting, and a little all over the place. We grapple with our opinions - is this art for art's sake? Who was the intended audience for this movie? Was there an intended audience for this movie? And that is just during lap one. Please buckle up and join us for this fun and exciting conversation. We promise if things crash and burn, the worst that can happen is you will bounce away in a soft cushy bubble. GO SPEED GO!!!!

Next up for our CAR MOVIES that absolute unequivocal category of dad movies we have the carsiest one of them all, CARS! If you've seen this movie, you know what it's about. If you haven't (weird) I'll give you three guesses.  Jesse and Mike were BOTH out this week as they apparently don't have what it takes but fortunately  we are rejoined this week by our very own Mr. Speed himself: Sirr! from Sirr's Furniture and My Movie Fix Podcast.

Is there anything more "dad" than a car? Or a bus? Or Freeways? No there is not.  We are tackling some of our favorite tire-squealin' movies. The rubber really meets the asphalt in this series! (heh)   Today we are talkin' Speed! The Keanu Reeves classic of not trying to hit everything on the road. We get into some arguments in this one. Namely about freeways. (seriously though, how does NO-ONE know that the freeway isn't finished?) We talk about the good ol' 90s movie days, back when you could sit your butt down and just enjoy bad guys bein' bad and good guys bein' good.

The final episode of our Chronological Crowe series has finally arrived! It has been travelling all the way from the far side of the world, survived many naval battles, and maybe even had brain surgery. We discuss many topics regarding leadership, pride, choosing the lesser of two weevils - we get deep! We can't believe how amazingly this movie has withstood the test of time. And finally, a thank you to Russell Crowe for taking us on this journey through the past 4000 years. It has been an amazing journey and I am sure we will be back to continue it with you into the 20th and 21st centuries! Hope you enjoy listening!

Continuing on our journey through time, history, grit, grime, and glory - we have our next incarnation of our Gruff Australian hero... ROBIN HOOD.   Has this movie stood the test of time?   Let's be honest, I think most of us forgot about it until now. BUT NOT DAN!    Also as we've spoken about in the past our podcast has some trouble with our sense of the space-time continuum and so the future series mentioned at the end of the episode here MAY OR MAY NOT come soon.    WE SHALL SEE.

"Are you not entertained?!?" Russell Crowe is back for what is his most acclaimed movie, Gladiator! Not only critically acclaimed, this movie also has some deep roots in our hosts' nostalgia. We talk about our experiences as teenagers watching this movie for the first time as well as other 'swords and sandals' type movies. Are we supposed to be entertained by the heads rolling on the screen? Does this make us just as bad as the romans watching real heads roll in the coliseum? We try to tackle these and other deep questions that are enough to make our own heads roll....  So sit back, relax, run your hand through some wheat and click play on this episode. We hope you enjoy!

Hey listeners! We've got the beginning of a new series and the first Darren Aronofsky movie we have ever covered. This week is all about beginnings...it's Noah! If you are in the mood for some talk about animals, arks, and rock monsters then have we got an episode for you. This film runs deep in our group nostalgia - heck, this film might have saved the love of two star-crossed lovers. Between whom, you might ask? You just have to listen to find out! As you may have guessed by the title of the episode, our new series is with the one and only Russell Crowe. He is an all star in the halls of dad movie fame and it was only a matter of time before we dove headfirst into his long and incredible filmography.

Ladies and Gentlemen, are you ready for some high stakes gangsters? This is a big ol' epic mob movie about Casinos and we are here to talk about all of it! All 3 hours of it. But don't worry, we will condense it for you. We compare this one a LOT to Goodfellas. Guest starring the hollywood legend himself, Joe gives us his personal feelings about this compared to Goodfellas. We also dig deep into Ace's character, the way this story works, and also how all dads can connect to this epic gangster movie.  This is the end of our Scorsese run though. Now we must lay this to rest and depart from it. it was great to be with the ol' gang for a while, just hangin' with some goodfellas. All bets are off for the next series we will do.

CONTINUING our SCORSESE'S GANGSTER series, we have Marty's 2006 Boston Epic, his Sole Oscar-winning film (direction AND best picture): THE DEPARTED.   [WARNING: If you've seen this movie, you won't be surprised to hear that this episode contains EXPLICIT LANGUAGE. There are also, as usual, many spoilers. If you haven't seen the movie, STOP NOW and go watch it!]   Rejoining us for this episode we have our favorite Irishman, Pat! Or as he is better known - Paddy O'Pat. I think he may be a bigger fan of this than the last flick he joined us for (i.e. the best movie ever made, Con-Air!). This is a long one! We all have a long and important history with this movie, but somehow - after watching and rewatching over the last decade and a half - came out of this episode with new thoughts and new perspective. I think that's a sign of something great. We laugh, we cry, we learn a lot along the way. I guess. What did we learn here? I don't know. Maybe the real rats are the friends we killed along the way.   Come join us.   Email us at notyourfathersmovies@gmail.com and be sure to check out our twitter @NYFMovies and follow us on Instagram.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's out there! As Dads, we appreciate you more than you know. Well, we have hopefully tried to show you exactly how much but you get the picture.   For this Mother's Day, in grand NYFM tradition, we are doing yet another James Cameron sequel centering on a strong female character called upon to mother in dire circumstances where the fate of all life rests squarely on her shoulders...   No, it isn't ALIENS again.   It's TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY!    The action classic with a strong family at its core holds a spot in all of our hearts and has one of our favorite tough movie moms in Sarah Connor. We talk family, we talk nostalgia, we talk the landscape of sequels and the legacy of the Terminator franchise.   Email us at notyourfathersmovies@gmail.com and be sure to check out our twitter @NYFMovies and follow us on Instagram.

"Let us go on again...and...plunge into the Five Points.... Many of these pigs [wandering the streets foraging for food] live here. Do they ever wonder why their masters walk upright in lieu of going on all-fours? And why they talked instead of grunted?" ~ Charles Dickens People have been talking about the five points for a long time, and we are here to continue that conversation with Scorsese's Gangs of New York. Some of these dads really like this. Some think it's just ok. Some of us never want to see it again. We dig into all sorts of things about this movie. We talk about how it is trying to do too much, weather or not it has aged well, and how this movie is working. It's a wild conversation here.  It really doesn't feel good to be a gangster in the mid 1800s. The streets are nasty. The homes are filthy. Its a perfect situation for some dads to brawl. We hope you will join us with this absolutely crazy movie!   Email us at notyourfathersmovies@gmail.com and be sure to check out our twitter @NYFMovies and follow us on Instagram.

NYFM is coming at you with a NEW RELEASE! Some of us with a lifelong passion and appreciation for everything Batman. Others just really loving Colin Farrel teaching Batman how Spanish works!   We talk about everything we loved in Matt Reeve's The Batman, as well as some critiques we don't see eye to eye on...which is great!   So please relax, press cruise control in your souped-up black Dodge Charger and enjoy the pod.   Email us at notyourfathersmovies@gmail.com and be sure to check out our twitter @NYFMovies and follow us on Instagram. You can find our website at www.nyfmovies.com, our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/notyourfathersmovies, and all other links HERE.

A NEW SERIES IS HERE!!! We are tackling SCORCESE'S GANGSTERS and the first movie is 1990's cinematic masterpiece, the must-see event of your life, possibly (one) of the greatest films ever made. It's about betrayal, community, family, violence, love, sin, redemption...everything a good movie is about!   We talk about Scorcese and set the groundwork for our series, we talk his Catholicism and guilt and sin. You know, the good stuff. Even more than that, we talk about those of us who finally experienced this for the first time and those of us who have seen this 10-odd times.   Email us at notyourfathersmovies@gmail.com and be sure to check out our twitter @NYFMovies and follow us on Instagram. You can find our website at www.nyfmovies.com and any and all other links HERE.

Here we are. Still talking about Time Loops. Still repeating that idea over and over. This time though, we are doing something much more recent and slightly pandemic related. It's Palm Springs everyone!   We talk how it ties into our series as a whole, we talk about Andy Samberg we talk about how this relates (or not) to specific generations, and we also talk quite but about RAUNCHINESS! No, we aren't raunchy here, but we talk about it because we all have kids. Do we ever want to watch raunchy comedies with them?   Join us on this loop-the-loop of time loop adventures and we hope you enjoy the ride!   Email us at notyourfathersmovies@gmail.com and be sure to check out our twitter @NYFMovies and follow us on Instagram. You can find our website at www.nyfmovies.com and any and all other links HERE.

For our third TIME LOOPS episode, we bring you EDGE Of TOMORROW, the alien war movie starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt! This was a fun one as it is a Cruise that he doesn't play often and it is one of a few very unique and original sci-fi movies that has come out in the last ten years.   We talk how it ties into our series as a whole, we talk about different versions and we talk about what exactly makes this summer popcorn extravaganza a DAD-MOVIE!   Email us at notyourfathersmovies@gmail.com and be sure to check out our twitter @NYFMovies and follow us on Instagram. You can find our website at www.nyfmovies.com and any and all other links HERE.

Welcome to our second annual Oscar's episode. We recorded this immediately after finishing the Oscars and as your timeline feeds on your social media apps have been telling you, IT WAS WILD!   We are joined by a very special guest who works in the industry himself who breaks down some of the more interesting gaffes, faux pas, and general awkward goofy Oscars.    Email us at notyourfathersmovies@gmail.com and be sure to check out our twitter @NYFMovies and follow us on Instagram. You can find our website at www.nyfmovies.com and any and all other links HERE.

For our second foray into time loops, it's ABOUT TIME! This charming rom-com about a boy who discovers he can time travel by just thinking really hard about it is one of the more touching and even at times, dare I say, controversial pick amongst us all. Unfortunately, Vito and Mike were unable to join the discussion but Jesse and Dan are joined by Jesse's brother Austin!   This movie and episode hold a big place in our hearts just as a podcast as over a year ago, we attempted to do this episode for the first time. After three hours and many broken audio files, we called it quits, the first and only time we have ever given up on an episode and it was lost to time. But we knew it could never stay gone! Maybe at some point in the future we will dig up the many corrupted and broken files and cobble together a Frankenstein version of that episode, but for now listen in as the guys do a deep-dive on one of the more charming and confounding movies we have run across.    Email us at notyourfathersmovies@gmail.com and be sure to check out our twitter @NYFMovies and follow us on Instagram. You can find our website at www.nyfmovies.com and any and all other links HERE.

Well we surprised you all by bringing Jesse back before our Maximum Cage series finished and boy was that a surprise.  What can I say? Things happen here. Time is strange. There's no frontier anymore. But anyway, the true meaning of the podcast is BACK as Jesse is not with us on this episode of MAXIMUM CAGE and we are joined by our constant companion, compatriot, seer, Letteney! He picks up some weighty reins here on Joe but boy is he equipped. Some people really love this movie. Some find it a real bummer.  What do YOU think?

NYFM is BACK, with MAXIMUM CAGE! Welcome, traveller, to the strange corner of the multiverse where not Your Father's Movies has briefly been transported into a NICOLAS CAGE FANBOY PODCAST. This may be a better universe. Today's episode: CON AIR, starring Nicolas Cage (of Course), John Malkovich, John Cusak, Colm Meaney, Ving Rhames, Rachel Ticotin, Steve Buscemi, Danny Trejo, Dave Chappelle... is anybody not in this one? Joined this week by old friend, definite dad-father, and first time guest, Pat! Unfortunately, Jesse was unable to make it back in time to join. I heard he had some issues mid-flight... If you have never seen Con Air, do yourself a favor and watch this little unknown gem of a movie. Filled with nothing but heart, it's basically a buddy drama about a couple of guys trying to get home to their loved ones... Who am I kidding, it's CON AIR! Nicolas Cage's best movie ever made, perhaps THE best movie ever made. They don't make them like this anymore. This is absolutely many father's movies and for us - well, we'll leave you in suspense.  Let us know what YOU think about Con Air! You'll definitely get a shout out on our next recorded episode (sorry, time is a flat circle, our podcast has significant trouble staying linear).

WELCOME TO MAXIMUM CAGE!    This is the podcast where we have chosen 3 films from the career of Nic Cage and we breakdown where they find him as an actor, us as a culture, and whether or not Cage is the MOST DAD actor we have ever encountered...maybe even the greatest of all time.   We begin with Moonstruck, a delightful romantic comedy starring Cher and Cage himself, about a young widow and the dashing and unpredictable brother of her new fiancée. We talk CAGE, we talk Cher, we talk John Patrick Shanley, and we talk about Cosmo's Moon: you don't want to miss it.   Email us at notyourfathersmovies@gmail.com and be sure to check out our twitter @NYFMovies and follow us on Instagram. You can find our website at www.nyfmovies.com and any and all other links HERE.

We have reached the end of our journey, forging the path ahead for a safer Gotham. Can't wait for cocktails in Italy after this!   Kidding, but we have arrived at the conclusion of the Dark Knight trilogy, one of the most foundational trilogies we have encountered in our lives. It was a shame that Jesse could not be a part of the show today, but Mike and Vito soldier on!    TDKR gets a lot of hate out there, but we sense the winds might be changing a bit as both Mike and Vito had some controversial takes!   Let us know if we're wrong...or secretly right.   Email us at notyourfathersmovies@gmail.com and be sure to check out our twitter @NYFMovies and follow us on Instagram. You can find our website at www.nyfmovies.com and any and all other links HERE.

It's a big one.   A huge one, ladies and gentlemen.   It's The Dark Knight, you know: either your most beloved movie or the most annoying one, the one you have been hearing about for what seems like decades.   Whatever you feel about The Dark Knight, we were delighted to finally talk about one of the biggest movies of our lives and finally settle every gripe, every nit-pick, every moment and how we felt about it. We were delighted to be joined by Letteney to discuss this classic, this behemoth of pop-culture. Please listen and tell us what you think of this movie!    Email us at notyourfathersmovies@gmail.com and be sure to check out our twitter @NYFMovies and follow us on Instagram. You can find our website at www.nyfmovies.com and any and all other links HERE.

Yo. It's Batman. One of the most (if not THE most) important movie to all 3 of our teenagehoods. We take a look back at this classic after not seeing it for a long time. With some fresh eyes and at new stages in life, we have some new thoughts on it. We also rehash our old thoughts about it.    Why was this a big deal? Does this stand out from the other superhero movies? Why is batman compelling? How well has it aged? How do we feel about showing this dark movie to our kids? Does batman take himself too seriously, or does he need to lighten up?   Some of us here have a real attachment to batman as a character as well. So comparing our perceptions of this behemoth of a superhero was a whole lot of fun! If you remember your first encounter with batman, then please let us know on one of platforms linked below.   Email us at notyourfathersmovies@gmail.com and be sure to check out our twitter @NYFMovies and follow us on Instagram. You can find our website at www.nyfmovies.com and any and all other links HERE.   *Mickey Mouse cartoons enter the Batman Begins chat* Wait what?

EVERYBODY!   Listen to me now! This is the most important and craziest episode we have ever done. You thought our anniversary episode, where we strung together multiple interviews based around numerous questions and the whole total of that episode reached over 3 and 1/2 hours long was a juggernaut...this is three dads, one year of movies, all coming together for a huge showdown.   No guests this week. No distractions. Just the three Dad-Fathers Jesse, Mike and Vito coming together for a Battle-Royale about our top 10 movies of the year. And if that wasn't enough, we ask so many questions. Best comedy? We answer that. Best drama? Yeah, it's here. Best performance, actor or actress? Done!    We even ask: what is the Daddest movie of the year?   The spoilers for all these questions is that, for every host, it is different. Nobody has the same answer, and our rankings vary wildly per Dad. Tune in and join us on our most fun, most diverse, and dare I say...BEST?...episode we have ever recorded.   Disagree with us? Then shout as us!  Agree? Shout even louder!   Email us at notyourfathersmovies@gmail.com and be sure to check out our twitter @NYFMovies and follow us on Instagram. You can find our website at www.nyfmovies.com and any and all other links HERE.   The first person who sees this, screenshots it and leaves a 5 Star Review on Apple Podcasts and sends it to us via any of our socials (not EMAIL) will get a free shout-out on all of our social pages AND will get us to share their NUMBER ONE movie of the year.

Featuring Spicy Dan the Gentleman   NYFM is coming at you with a NEW RELEASE!  The long awaited Dune! I am pretty sure we have brought this movie up in a few episodes prior, because (some of us) were really excited to see this! Some of us have strong feelings. Some of us have some big issues. We talk about a lot here. Is this actually a movie? Do we care about this if the story isn't finished and does that matter? What's up with the man-spider? Do we like the lamentation cries? We are all very excited to talk about all that and more.   So breathe in some spice, blow some bagpipes, make sure to feed your man-spider (because it understands) and give this a listen!   Email us at notyourfathersmovies@gmail.com and be sure to check out our twitter @NYFMovies and follow us on Instagram. You can find our website at www.nyfmovies.com and any and all other links HERE.

Welcome to our final crossover episode with MY MOVIE FIX which is a lovely podcast run by our good friend Sirr. We were delighted to do this series with him and we hope you all enjoyed it too. Please give him and us a like, follow, subscribe, review, etc, so we can keep doing this for you all!   As for the movie, this is the third in the Before trilogy of movies, Before Midnight, which is the culmination of Jesse's and Celine's relationship: 18 years since they first met and 9 years since they began their relationship. This movie is thorny, complicated, full of deep ponderings on love and existence. They fight, and in their fighting we have to ask, would we do the same? What do we think about love and loss and life, about committed relationships? Are we happy? Does the answer to that last question matter?   We hope you give this a listen and be sure to check out Sirr on twitter @MyMovieFixPod check out his show on Spotify and email him with questions at MyMovieFixPodcast@Gmail.com   Email us at notyourfathersmovies@gmail.com and be sure to check out our twitter @NYFMovies and follow us on Instagram.
