Two dads watching movies from our youth and trying to figure out if they hold up, should they be rebooted, and... should we force our kids to eventually watch them.

DMN E180 The Burbs
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!

DMN E179 Battlestar Galactica
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

DMN E178 Action Jackson
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, it was a FUN ride!

DMN E177 Mio in the Land of Faraway
If you ever wondered if Christian Bale would make a movie where his character's name was Jum-Jum..... then look no farther! Brian chose this gem of a movie for Neil and Pete and if they weren't mesmerized, stupefied . . . dare I say even justified with everything they said about it.

DMN E176 Dr. Strangelove
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

DMN E175 The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
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 amazing Uma Thurman bring this story more gravitas than we expected.
