Movies Our Dad Made Us Watch

Lords, ladies, and everyone else not sitting on a cushion: it’s A Knight’s Tale. We argue over whether this movie is good, whether it’s a sports movie, and what is going on with the main girls hair. We give you…..sir uuuullllllrrrriiiichhhh von Lichtenstein!

We’re not cussing with you. It’s a special Wes Anderson mini episode we recorded right after a movie together. We invent a new personality test and talk about why Fantastic Mr Fox is the only Wes Anderson movie our dad likes. You should probably put your bandit hat on now.

Are gringos falling from the sky?? No, but three charming half gringo siblings are falling through your podcast airwaves. And you could say we have a PLETHORA of opinions on this one. The sibs fight over two microphones and discuss the Steve Martin and Martin Short classic (you’re dead to us Chevy Chase).

GRACE HAS BOB’S DEAD WIFE’S HEART! This absolute gem is perfect comfort movie viewing. It’s charming full of great lines and has all the Irish Italian cuisine you could ever want. Also, we’re back.

All you need is faith and trust. And a little bit of pixie dust. Is there any classic Disney animation film with higher highs and lower lows? Gather your children to watch Peter Pan soar over London, watch Mr. Smee shave a seagulls bottom, and watch mermaids try to drown a girl out of jealousy.

It’s just another day in the sun. Come have your heart warmed then broken then put back together and then broken again. It’s got singing, dancing, twilight, and LA Traffic. Best listened to while stuck in traffic.

A man in a really nice camper just offered to play our song in the radio. This week is the Tom Hanks written and directed THAT THING YOU DO. A charming breezy tale of a one hit wonder band. It’s got everyone: Hanks, Steve Zahn, Charlize Theron… Bryan Cranston?? I AM SPARTACUS! (Listener note: New audio stuff we’re getting used to… patience appreciated.)

Welcome to the 90s Mr. Banks! We cover the timeless Steve Martin and Diane Keaton classic full of moving montages and classic lines. And we don’t think the movie is talk about a wedding at all. Plus, Ricky thinks George Banks was right about everything and Kara and Emma think he *is* George Banks.

We cover a movie you’ve probably never seen but will turn out to be your favorite movie: the screwball comedy starring Barbara Streisand and colorful cast of supporting characters. It’s got chaos, one liners, romance, a car chase, singing, fires, and a musicologist convention. What more could you want?

In this mini episode we list our top picks for a great Valentine’s Day movie plus food or drinks. There is a *lot* of glitter, endless walks through fields, pet names, Leonardo da Vinci and … murderous mayhem.

We discover the horrible truth that one of us does not actually like this movie. We learn why this movie started as a commercial failure only to become a cult classic. Plus why you should read Carey Elwes memoir of the film.

Here’s our podcast demo. The recording quality isn’t great because Ricky tried to record it and he is a geriatric millennial. We discussed the Tom Hanks meg Ryan classic film You’ve Got Mail.
