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.
Intro/outro music: "It's Almost Late Night" from the album WE HAD A GOOD RUN by Dave Rabinow, available at www.daverabinow.com

THE MALTESE FALCON
Dads love two things: MacGuffins and culturally irrelevant impressions. This film gives our Dads the chance to enjoy the ur-MacGuffin while dusting off our best Bogey (or even our Peter Lorre!) for the eyerolled "amusement" of our progeny. Also, it's one of the greatest movies ever mad yada yada yada. This week: John Huston's 1941 hard-boiled noir-blueprint THE MALTESE FALCON.
