Our new limited series with co-hosts Abe Epperson and David Bell digs deep into the internet meme of the “dad movie.” We can all probably name a dad movie, but can we isolate the tropes that really make this a bona fide film genre? Let’s find out!

Wow. Perfect pick for this show. My father watched this anytime he came across it. It was certainly in his top 5

I think Dreyfuss plays Cheney in W.

And not for nothin, but Taken has to be up there in quintessential dad films.

Dammit, I wanna know what Robert Evans was doing 20 feet above the President. I definitely shouldn't know what Robert Evans is doing, Robert Evans should be allowed to operate in total secrecy till whatever Robert Evans wants to do happens. But I really wanna know.

Also Band of Brothers. perfect Dad war mini series that's not a documentary...

Laura Martin

I don't think it's bureaucracy, I think it's respect for the power structure/tradition.

Laura Martin

Because the system is older and wiser than you. The system is your daddy. And daddy respect daddy.

Your reiteration of the father-daughter dynamic of dad movies in this one made me think, is Day Shift the vampire dad movie?

John McClurg

All right, I have to throw my dad hat in the ring; The Natural. An old timey magical baseball dad that doesn’t even know he’s a dad! And when he finds out he explodes a stadium with his dad energy!

Steven Kirk

I would like to submit for your consideration my dad’s favorite film, 1998’s Enemy of the State starring Will Smith and Gene Hackman

Sounds like Signs is M Nites dad film. Is Tombstone the ultimate dad Western, or does it need to be a classic or a spaghetti even? The Coens may have inadvertently mastered the dad film with NCFOM.

Before you guys woke me up to the concept of the dad film I had just watched Nobody and was very confused why someone would make a John Wick that was targeted secifically at male boomers. I'd love to hear you do that movie sometime.
