Episode 275: Killer Blob of 1988 | Octobereding, Pt. 3

Our Film Fathers ·

2025/10/17

The campiness and cheesiness of the 80s and & 90s are on full display in the two movies we saw this week: The Blob (1988) and Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988). Both appear to be made on a shoestring budget, with unseasoned actors. And that is why we love them. Or at least some of us do. Let us know what you think?

Episode 274: So Descent | Octobereding, Pt. 2

Our Film Fathers ·

2025/10/10

The journey into the unknown and mysterious drives many a horror film. The two that we watched this week, The Descent (2005) and As Above, So Below (2014), travel in different methods, but hit some of the same milestones. Is the journey real, or all in your head? Is there ever any possibility of returning to your normal life after tragic events? Should we stop going into caves, all together?Listen and comment and let us know your thoughts.Also Play:Cinema Chain

Episode 273: Horrarious | Octobereding, Pt. 1

Our Film Fathers ·

2025/10/02

We kick off Octobereding, with guest Tom Reding (@antifoodiex) with a search for Horror Comedies. Horror needs a little levity to balance out the suspense and terror. So we thought we would try Tucker and Dale versus Evil (2010) and Werewolves Within (2021). Each of them had a framework that could provide an excellent pairing, but something seemed to be missing. Listen to our show to find out those missing items. Let us know your favorite horror-comedy movies.

Episode 272: Three Days of Sneakers | Remembering...

Our Film Fathers ·

2025/09/18

We wanted to celebrate the work of Robert Redford. He provided so many wonderful films and opportunities for new filmmakers to showcase their talents, with the Sundance Film Festival. We watched two of his spy-centric films in Three Days of the Condor (1975) and Sneakers (1992). But also check out his role in Spy Game (2001). He was a legend and will be missed.

Episode 271: Find Your Happy Place

Our Film Fathers ·

2025/09/12

The Sandman is back. Adam Sandler returns to the links with Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) which does a lot to remind us all of the original Happy Gilmore (1996), perhaps too much. The nostalgia-leaning and cameo-fueled sequel doesn't deliver as well, but it has its moments. So grab your golden jacket and hockey stick putter, and meet us on the course, Shooter.

Episode 270: Football Season...with Bob Hansen

Our Film Fathers ·

2025/09/04

As the weather cools and the pigskins start to fly, we thought it would be great to bring on fellow dad and youth football coach, Bob Hansen to talk about Friday Night....I mean Varsity Blues (1999). High school football in Texas, highlighted by career-altering injuries, the rise of underrated players, and the pressures of parenting student-athletes.We also add another movie in the Movie You Can't Wait To Show Your Kids portfolio, with Boiler Room (2000). Hustle culture has been around long

Episode 269: SmokeStack Lightning

Our Film Fathers ·

2025/08/28

Original stories often lead to excellent films, and with Ryan Coogler at the helm, Sinners (2025) was bound to be a hit. We didn't know it would be this good. It covers so many stories, ideas and topics that we needed to bring in help, with friend of the pod, Charlie C. joining us. Make sure you drink your pickled garlic and get ready, because we are going for a ride.

Episode 268: Industry of Cool

Our Film Fathers ·

2025/08/15

What would a 15-year old, you remember if you traveled the country with a rock-n-roll band, their "band-aids", and all the wild characters along the way? How would that shape your view on life, love, and overall sense of the world? Cameron Crowe lays out this scenario in his acclaimed classic, Almost Famous (2000). Phenomenal soundtrack and excellent casting propel this movie in the pantheon of cinema. Let us know your thoughts, by leaving a comment.Also Play:Cinema Chain

Episode 267: A-Guy

Our Film Fathers ·

2025/08/07

Movies based on TV shows don't always succeed, but we love it when an idea comes together. In this case, two ideas worked: The A-Team (2010) and The Fall Guy (2024), both deliver on the enjoyment of the original show with updated action and comedy. Settle in as we discuss the fun experiences we had watching these new takes on TV classics.Also Play:Cinema Chain Game--------------------------------------------Subscribe, rate, and review:Apple Podcasts: Our Film FathersSpotify: Our Film

Episode 266: Is This Heaven?

Our Film Fathers ·

2025/07/25

Trusting that little voice in your head, or your cornfield, can be a daunting task. But sometimes, it leads to the most rewarding things you will ever do. Field of Dreams (1989) showed that believing in yourself will never steer you wrong. It also highlighted the connection with family, purpose and "Baseball, Ray.... Baseball".

2025/07/18

Graduating from goofy side character to in-demand comedy director, Paul Feig launched his career with the groundbreaking film, Bridesmaids (2011) and then reunited with its breakout star, Melissa McCarthy, in Spy (2015). Both films show the comedic range of talented actresses, while avoiding stereotypes and tropes. Let us know if you had fun watching these films in the comments.

Episode 264: Guy Movies

Our Film Fathers ·

2025/07/11

When you start your film making career with two films like Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and Snatch (2001), its a pretty good foundation. Guy Ritchie enhanced the crime and heist genre, with his unique British styling. And paving the way for more exciting interpretations of famous stories along the way.

Episode 263: Buddy Christ

Our Film Fathers ·

2025/07/05

Could a move like Kevin Smith's Dogma (1999) be made today? With its religious themes and discussion, add to the extensive cast, it would be a challenge to re-create the ideas that Smith had over 25 years ago. Much research and thought went into creating a movie that would tests existing thoughts while trying to have a conversation on taboo topics.

Episode 262: Don't Call Me Shirley

Our Film Fathers ·

2025/06/28

Do we have clearance, Clarence? This week, we revisit an all-time comedy classic, Airplane (1980). One of the trailblazers of the spoof comedy, this film shows how good writing, comedy timing, and subversion of expectation, can create a masterpiece that still holds up 45 years later. Is it the best spoof comedy?

Episode 261: Hey Jude

Our Film Fathers ·

2025/06/20

While his classical good looks have helped, Jude Law also has the acting skills to be the complete package. We watched his most recent film, The Order (2024), where is portrays a FBI agent hunting down a violent separatists. We also dug into the past to watch his earlier work in Gattaca (1997).

Episode 260: Necessary Sequels?

Our Film Fathers ·

2025/06/14

Do all good movies require a sequel? We ask that question for two recent releases, Den of Thieves: Pantera (2025) and The Accountant 2 (2025). The original films were very enjoyable and exciting, but is there enough meat on the bone for a second trip? Why is it so hard to follow up a good film? Do you think money is the driver, or there is more story to tell? Let us know by leaving a review.Also Play:Cinema Chain Game--------------------------------------------Subscribe, rate, and

Episode 259: Casino

Our Film Fathers ·

2025/06/07

Some consider Casino (1995), the best collaboration between Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci, and Martin Scorsese. Others think it just a re-hash of previously told stories. So we went back and watched it. New characters and new locations bring something different to a tale about trying to find success in a pre-defined society. But does it really change the overall impact of the story?

Our Film Fathers ·

2025/05/31

As he has grown, Robert Pattinson has become one of the more versitile actor in Hollywood. His evolution has taken him to the stars and beyond with his latest, Mickey 17 (2025) from acclaimed director Bong Joon Ho. Its a wild space adventure that needs to be seen, but we cannot forget his earlier work, like that in Good Time (2017). Another movie that needs to be experienced.
