You may have remembered liking this movie. You may remember thinking it was 'good', or that you liked it. But what you don't remember was how absolutely amazing and wonderful this entire production and experience was. This easily moved into my top 10 all time favorite movies. Watch. This. Movie.

Episode 195: DMN E195 Shallow Grave 43:08

4M ago43:08

43:08

Neil, Brian and Pete have started using a new system to pick a movie for the episode. We each put names of two movies into a hat and pick one live. Neil won round one with one of his selections. If you have heard of the movie Shallow Grave before you must have worked at a blockbuster. A young Ewan McGreggor movie filmed in Scotland about three room…

Episode 194: DMN E194 Top Secret 45:41

4M ago45:41

45:41

Wait.... did Neil change his voice? No, silly. It's our friend David who dropped by to hang out and watch the Val Kilmer epic Top Secret (which Brian has been harassing Pete for months to watch). It's a throwback to time when movies didn't need much to get green-lit. A time when no one cared about plot holes. A time when the leading actors didn't n…

Episode 193: DMN Episode 193 Blankman 32:59

6M ago32:59

32:59

So we blanked out and watched Blankman! The hero origin story of epic proportions co-staring a young Robin Givens just a few years after her dream-like marriage to one Mike Tyson. Neil and I were 'worried' as per usual but I have to say that this time Brian delivered a GEM!

Episode 192: DMN Episode 192 Swamp Thing 33:57

6M ago33:57

33:57

Let's go to the swamp! We watched Swamp Thing! conflicted? Yes, Entertained? Absolutely. A Good movie? wellllllll..... at least we were entertained. Brian Chose this one because of his love of all things swampy and Swamp Thing did not disappoint!

Episode 191: DMN E191 El Mariachi 33:42

10M ago33:42

33:42

thank you Neil for this pallet cleanser! We had to pay attention for the entire movie this time because.... subtitlesb but it was fun! Both Brian and Pete had never seen this former Sundance Movie Festival winner from 1993 and it's $7K production cost and boy did we miss out! If you have not seen this movie you should. Is it a 'great film', no. Are…

Episode 190: DMN E190 Six String Samurai 44:37

10M ago44:37

44:37

I had no idea this movie existed. Brian brought this one to the plate and thought it would be a great idea if Neil and I had our kids watch it with us for the first time. It was an experience to say the least! Our kids had some very strong opinions about it and couldn't wait to share with you.

Are you ready to win the Powder 8? Well, we weren't.... Talk about not remembering vast swaths of this movie. We went in thinking it was going to be a light-hearted romp down memory lane (which it kinda was at first). But it got dark, real dark. Then it was great again because... movie magic. This one hit a lot of the big nostalgia moments for us. …

En Guard! Ah ha! Take that! And that! Swords! Swashbuckling! Brat Pack attack! Yes ladies and gents we watch The Three Musketeers! This Disney "classic" was a romp down 90's nostalgia for all three of the Dadketeers. What fun and it was so wonderful to be able to watch a film with absolutly no historical accuracy at all lolzzzz. skibidi sigma…

Episode 187: DMN E187 Salem's Lot (1979 TV Mini series) 44:09

1y ago44:09

44:09

Happy Halloween everyone! From the team here at DMN we present to you an almost scary TV movie from the late 70s that Pete was willing to watch (because he said "I think I can handle this amount of scary"). Salem's Lot was an interesting choice because of the fact it was a TV mini-series that had to conform to ratings standards for broadcast TV. As…

Episode 186: DMN E186 My Best Friend's a Vampire 38:37

1y ago38:37

38:37

The 80s were a magical time for teenage monster romcoms. We had so many questions on this charming, but weird, take on the vampire genre.

Oh boy do we love a good Michael Keaton movie. The man is a gosh darn national treasure! Which version of "Doug" did you like best?

Episode 184: DMN E184 The fisher King 46:49

1y ago46:49

46:49

Pete has been clamoring to rewatch this movie for years and the podcast finally relented (only because we had to draw out of a hat)... This movie has everything and all from the mind of Brian's "favorite" director Terry Gilliam. We also had a special guest, the one and only Alice!

Episode 183: DMN E183 Dave 40:03

Kevin Kline was on top of the world in the late 80s and early 90s. He's a gosh darn national treasure. Only the likes of Sigourney Weaver could outdo him here!

Episode 182: DMN E182 The Adventures of Buckaroo Bansai: Across the 8th Dimension (Kids edition!) 38:02

We asked the kids to join us for the first time and get their thoughts on a movie we did in our first season! This movie and the kid's reactions were an absolute joy!

I was a skeptic. I shouldn't have been. Man, Leslie Neilson was a comedic genius. This was a surprise. And don't call me Shirley.

How can we resist your charms, Mr. Hanks? Short answer.... We can't! One of the more underrated Tom Hanks movies and this one did not disappoint! So many great moments that I had forgotten about. Enjoy!

Episode 179: DMN E179 Battlestar Galactica 41:13

2y ago41:13

41:13

The original pilot episode and we were joined by Pete's brother Mikey! This was one of Mikey's FAVORITE shows of his youth. Did it hold up? You be the judge! Pete, Brian, and Neil were definitely on board with this choice

Episode 178: DMN E178 Action Jackson 39:31

2y ago39:31

39:31

Carl Weathers was one of the best action heroes of the silver screen in our youth. Who could forget Apollo Creed or Dillon? Epic stuff right there. This movie, however..... was not any of those. It was a wild entertaining ride that the three of us are still trying to figure out if we were left wanting more... or just wanting something else. But man…

Episode 176: DMN E176 Dr. Strangelove 44:25

2y ago44:25

44:25

This might be one of those movies that you MUST watch and implore your children to watch when they are old enough. Thanks to Neil for getting us to put this one on the pod. You'll laugh at the absurdity, you'l cry at the themes that are even more relevant today than ever. 5 Stars

Episode 175: DMN E175 The Adventures of Baron Munchausen 32:09

2y ago32:09

32:09

So. Many. Questions.... A fantasy romp that wasn't allowed to credit Robin Williams because his agents didn't want his named to be used to "pimp their film". This was a wild, wonky, donkey ride of epic proportions. Not sure if we are recommending it or just want you to see it so we can ask you our questions. Amazing set design and the always amazin…

Episode 170: DMN S2 E42 Dark City 45:21

2+ y ago45:21

45:21

It's always night time. It's dark. It's a city. If aliens were incompetent and didn't know how to research or cite their sources. Brian came up with this one and to be honest it was a hoot! Weird, fun overacting, and a patina of earnestness that was refreshing. Was it good? Did it hold up? Should it be rebooted? hmmmmm......…

Episode 169: DMN E42 The Lawnmower Man 38:00

Weirdly accurate and one heck of a ride. The dads were on their best behavior because Brian's dad KIRBY was here!! This movie had everything except coherency... and we almost kinda wanted to like it.

3y ago36:13

36:13

On this trip down memory lane, Pete, Neil, and Brian take a look at a few episodes from the first season of our favorite Batman (the late Kevin Conroy). All we have to say is that it's better than we remember!!! Huzzah

Brian's brother Kevin joined us tonight for this seminal moment in Kevin's life. Lot's to talk about and even more questions. Should we pre-party our whiskey before this one or not?

3+ y ago44:37

44:37

We were joined by the one-and-only Giles (who is an amazing Gi Joe Artist) for this adventure. The dads get to be Real-'Merican "heroes" with the animated Gi Joe: The Movie. Serpentor forever!

39:34

Holy Cybertron, Batman! WE watched Orson Well's final movie performance and boy was it...... interesting? So many choices made, so many questions. Why did they kill everyone? My entire childhood destroyed in the first 13:42 of this classic. No wonder my therapist said I had trust issues. Enjoy!

John the MF Candy was so on point in this one that we have decided that Thanksgiving shall be renamed John Candy Appreciation Day from this day forward. What else can you say except that we are all still in awe of his acting and presence on screen. Whoa....

Episode 141: DMN S2 Episode 15 Little Shop of Horrors 44:34

4y ago44:34

Brian liked a MUSICAL!!!! Probably only because of the death, horrific killing, and SPACE ALIENS! Also: Rick Moranis is a freaking national treasure!

That's right movie fans! Nick Cage is a bonafide action movie star! All the glory! All the Swagger! All the weirdness! Bunnies and mullets for EVERYONE! This was one for the history books!

Childhood nightmare fuel from the kind folks at Disney?!?!?! Pete and Brian had to brave this one ALL. BY. OURSELVES! Let's just say there was a lot of this movie that neither one of us remembered. A wild ride, indeed...

Episode 131: DMN S2 E5 Jurassic Park 45:49

4+ y ago45:49

45:49

Definitely NOT Velocipastor.... Dr. Alan Grant joined us for this one (Giles loves cosplay) and we got to see Samuel L Jackson completely under utilized. Not a single mother-F-bomb in the whole movie!?!?! This one was one of the greats!
