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
TDM: Total Dad Movies with Tooky, Dave, & Mike
MAJOR LEAGUE
Forget the podcast, Ricky. Give 'em the heater.
Lotsa Dad types in this one: Corbin Bernsen's asshole Dad, Chelcie Ross' Christian Dad (with a hidden stash of Hustlers), Tom Berenger's seemingly- cool-but-oh-wait-actually-kind-of-sad Dad, and James Gammon's tough love Dad. Plus you got a Sheen (Dads LOVE Sheens!) AND a Haysbert (the voice of Allstate - Dads LOVE insurance!) AND a Uecker (Carson's best guest; ask your Dad who Carson was). Oh, and this is a baseball movie, too. You know: baseball - the sport that only Dads watch (unless you have a Golf Dad and if that's the case we're all sorry and we're here for you). Put your feet up for a movie that's aged like fine wine in some ways and five cent beer night in others: David Ward's 1989 sports comedy/hometown love letter MAJOR LEAGUE.
