Podcast appearances and mentions of daniel hillard

“Oh... as I hold this cold meat, I'm reminded of Winston. God rest his soul.” We watched “Mrs. Doubtfire” (1993) with MTMUG All Star Joshua Clement and we don't do laundry, we don't do windows and we DON'T do diapers. Listen, it's been 30 years since this family comedy was released and our ideas about gender identity and expression have come a long way. That being said, we firmly believe Robin Williams did not have a malicious bone in his body or thought in his heart when he committed Euphegenia Doubtfire to film. The queer sensibilities are rife throughout Daniel Hillard's (Williams) journey to become the matronly Mrs. Doubtfire in order to spend more time with his kids. From his gay brother Frank, played by icon Harvey Fierstein, to Robin's manic (and still hilarious) performance channeling Mrs. Doubtfire. As time goes by, we are finding ourselves understanding Miranda (Sally Field) a bit more - that pony was INSIDE the house! Don't get us started on Pierce Brosnan serving up body in the pool scene - we'll be rewinding that one, thank you very much.  We also love (and grew up with) the Hillard children played by Lisa Jakub, Matthew Lawrence and little bitty Mara Wilson.  This cast is perfect, the jokes still hold up and Robin, as always, serves up a master class in comedy.  Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Twitter: @MTMUGPod Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna

**THIS PODCAST CONTAINS FULL SPOILERS** If you need parenting and/or babysitting services, look no further than Daniel Hillard, one of the best Movie Dads that has ever graced the Silver Screen! Join Film is Lit on a trip back to 1993, where we can cozy up with the quintessential Millennial comfort movie, “Mrs. Doubtfire.” Because the 1987 book by Anne Fine spoilers sucks a$$, we have an excuse to gush about the influence that Robin Williams, Pierce Brosnan, and this quotable movie had on us as kids. Who else has similar memories of this special movie??? #RobinWilliams #SallyField #PierceBrosnan #MrsDoubtfire #MadameDoubtfire #BookvsMovie #ChrisColumbus #AnneFine #FilmisLit #FilmisLitPod #FilmisLitPodcast #BookReviewPodcast #MovieReviewpodcast #MovieReview #BookReview #1993 #Movieadaptation #FilmReviewPodcast #HarveyFierstein #DriveByFruiting #bookworm #cinephile

It's the hilarious, smash hit family comedy... about a bitter divorce! The late, great Robin Williams was at the top of his game in 1993, and "Mrs. Doubtfire" let the comic actor run amok even when not dressing up like an old lady. Seriously, his character here, Daniel Hillard, is pretty unhinged, and it kinda makes sense that he loses custody of his kids. He's lucky he's not in jail for poisoning Pierce Brosnan! (To be fair, who the hell do you think you are ordering a jambalaya without pepper?! It's a Cajun dish, Pierce, what the hell is the point?) Old Millennials hosts Tyler and Angela both watched "Mrs. Doubtfire" a bunch as kids, as they both came from Robin Williams-loving homes. So were they nervous about revisiting the film and finding a whole bunch of outdated and insensitive jokes? You bet! Luckily, the movie largely avoids any questions about gender and sexuality (with the exception of that creepy bus driver who keeps hitting on Mrs. Doubtfire), and keeps things simple: Daniel is lying to his kids and pretending to be an old woman because he loves being around them so much! Nothing wrong with that, right? Right?! Right?!!?!!? Let's make one thing clear: This movie is still pretty watchable, thanks to some genuinely terrific comedic riffing by Williams, as well as the surprisingly sensitive and believable depiction of divorce (thanks mostly to an excellent Sally Field performance). Heck even these three kids are likeable  - Lisa Jakub, Matthew "Not the 'Whoa' Lawrence" Lawrence and adorable Mara Wilson in her screen debut. Even new beau Pierce Brosnan is a nice guy! We kinda bad he's a victim of a run-by fruiting! So get your frosting facial ingredients together,  sing a song from "Funny Girl," and don't double-book yourself and you alter ego at the same time at the same place, dummy. Also try to figure out why local TV producer Robert Prosky decides to replace his soft-spoken kids show host with... another soft spoken kids show host!? Is Euphegenia Doubtfire really more interesting than that dinosaur guy?! Wait, Mrs. Doubtfire's first name is EUPHEGENIA?!

We're back with another 'Actor' episode, this time celebrating the life and career of the late, great Robin Williams. An actor that means an awful lot to both Ollie and I! This episode goes through Robin's early career up to his role as Daniel Hillard in Mrs. Doubtfire. Check back on Friday for Part Two!

Jamie Berger is a partner in her own Family Law firm. It is a firm run entirely by women, which takes a more holistic and gentle approach to the sticky subject of divorce. We talked about what it is like to handle clients who were on the way to signing those papers when the pandemic hit, and now have to occupy the same space. We also talked about how Daniel Hillard of Mrs. Doubtfire would have fared in an actual Family Law court. (spoiler: he would not have his own public access television show) Jamie was very open about her own struggles with anxiety and handling her 3 kids and winning-smiled husband Scott during this pandemic. Support the show (http://patreon.com/lightersidepodcast)

"Watching Robin Williams, as Daniel Hillard, disguise himself as the ever iconic English nanny we've all come to love is just the beginning of what makes Mrs. Doubtfire comedy gold. Beneath the hilarity lies a humanity that is truly heartfelt and for many, very relatable.

the When We Were Young podcast The late, great Robin Williams played many iconic characters in the 90s, including Aladdin’s Genie and a grownup Peter Pan. But nothing showed off his talent for manic physical comedy and rapid-fire zingers quite like the 1993 family comedy MRS. DOUBTFIRE. It may just be his signature role — at least, for kids who grew up in the 90s. In the latest podcast, we look back at the tradition of funnymen dressing as funny-looking women, from Tom Hanks in the awkward sitcom BOSOM BUDDIES (1980) to Dustin Hoffman in the Oscar darling TOOTSIE (1982) to Martin Lawrence in the raunchy BIG MOMMA’S HOUSE (2000). Then, it’s time to say “Hellooooooo!” again to Euphegenia Doubtfire, cinema’s most successful cross-dresser (with over $400 million at the box office). Williams plays Daniel Hillard, an out-of-work actor who assumes the alias of a no-nonsense nanny to spend more time with his estranged family. (That’s what any loving father would do! Right??) We also discuss the thin line between acceptable Movie Dad behavior and criminal offense, depictions of divorce in 90s movies, and the broader question of whether gender-bending comedy still works in the more enlightened, less binary 21st century. So pad that bra and tuck accordingly - before Child Protective Services revokes your custody of this podcast. When We Were Young is a podcast devoted to the most beloved pop culture of our formative years (roughly 1980-2000).

New York actor Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoffman) is a talented perfectionist who is so hard on himself and others that his agent (Sydney Pollack) can no longer find work for him. After a soap opera audition goes poorly, Michael reinvents himself as actress Dorothy Michaels. Then, troubled that he has little access to his children, divorced Daniel Hillard hatches an elaborate plan. With help from his creative brother Frank, he dresses as an older British woman and convinces his ex-wife, Miranda, to hire him as a nanny.
