    He has been heralded as the next big movie star, so we thought we would jump into the pool with Glen Powell and Anyone But You (2023) and Hit Man (2023). We saw glimpses of stardom of in Top Gun: Maverick, but now is his time to shine and we think he does it well. What do you think? Is he the next One?Subscribe, rate, and review:Apple Podcasts: Our Film FathersSpotify: Our Film FathersYouTube: Our Film Fathers---------------------------------------------Follow Us:Instagram: @ourfilmfathersTwitter: @ourfilmfathersEmail: ourfilmfathers@gmail.com

    Is this a test? We want to tell you about the movie we watched, but the rules clearly state, you do not talk about Fight Club (1999).  Early and excellent work from two of our favorites, David Fincher and Brad Pitt. A formative film celebrating its 25th anniversary, as we look back at its influences on film making and society today.Subscribe, rate, and review:Apple Podcasts: Our Film FathersSpotify: Our Film FathersYouTube: Our Film Fathers---------------------------------------------Follow Us:Instagram: @ourfilmfathersTwitter: @ourfilmfathersfEmail: ourfilmfathers@gmail.com

    Its been 20 years since The Girl Next Door (2004) was released. It was a cap to a raunchy teen comedy era, which we may never see again. And while it dealt with a taboo topic, it blended an pretty good romantic comedy in as well.
