TDM: Total Dad Movies with Tooky, Dave, & Mike
Mike and Dave are two Gen X Dads who grew up watching movies because there was nothing else to do. Tooky is a Millennial dad-in-training who grew up with the internet, and thus never needed to watch ROAD HOUSE on cable. Mike (a standup comedian) and Dave (an improviser and occasional academic) will present Tooky (comedian, social critic and dad-in-training) with a new (old) movie every week and answer the important questions: Are white people ok? When did Nic Cage become a whole thing?Are these movies good, or are Mike and Dave wallowing in toxic nostalgia? Every Tuesday, TDM promises to bridge the generation gap, one dad movie at a time.

OCEAN'S ELEVEN
Perhaps the most Dad-spirational movie of all time, this movie features beautiful people doing cool stuff in a fantasy city. Every Dad sees himself in a cool suit talking the racket, or tugging on our bucket hats at the track, ready for one big score. But the truth is: most of us are Julia Roberts: blissfully unaware of the danger at the edges of our existence until it's too late.
