RIP to the magnificent Teri Garr, perhaps one of the patron (matron?) saints of Dad movies. No one was realer, funnier, or more fully and charmingly human. She and Michael Keaton make a pretty good meal out of these ingredients; it's pretty clear why the Oscar noms wait in the offing. Listen, Michael Keaton is having a moment, and deservedly so; bu…

1:04:43

Ah, Hollywood! The land of glitter and sparkle! The land where dreams are born, struggle, and eventually end up in a miserable job in middle-management . . . I mean dreams come true! Obviously that’s what I meant, and you all know it! Hollywood is the most terribly important industry in all of The United Hollywoods of America; just ask Hollywood! W…

Order, order! The Committee for “Ready When You Are, C.B.” will come to order! The witness has been sworn in and we are ready to proceed. The witness is reminded that failure to answer any of the committee’s questions will result in the witness being held in contempt . . . even more than they already are. Now then: are you now or have you ever been…

ROXANNE 53:25

Elevator pitch: I'd like to take a 19th century French melodrama and update it, eliminating the graphic violence and changing the famously heartbreaking ending. Also, we should set it in a small town full of horny old ladies. Studio Executive: Ok, here's a ton of money. Only one person can land that pitch: Total Dad favorite and comic dilettante St…

Episode 310 – Hollywood Shuffle (1987) 1:04:16

1:04:16

Welcome to another episode in our continuing stooooooory “Ready When You Are, C.B.!” movies by Hollywood, about Hollywood, smothered in Hollywood gravy! This week’s entry is a film from the late 80’s, forgotten by some but surprisingly influential to others: Robert Townsend’s “Hollywood Shuffle”. Is it a coincidence that a movie with this title cam…

Confession: at the grocery store with my family, I will often and without warning turn suddenly a full 360 degrees in either direction while exclaiming "Crazy Ivan!" Let no one say this movie doesn't have a lasting impact. Baldwin! Connery! Glenn! Neill! Curry! Vance! Skarsgard! and James Earl Jones (RIP)! Who doesn't love a submarine movie? NOT DA…

LEEEEEEEEET THE RIVER RUUUUUUUUUUUUN... (NGL, that songs rips) A Dad Movie? About a lady? Yeah, dummy, it's 2024.

Great Cesear’s film reference! I know you’re all shocked, waiting as you have been for the start of our next series with a worm on your tongue (baited breath. Thank you! Try the veal!) but we’re delaying our next series a week because here at Max, Mike; Movies we are nothing if not topical! Yes, truly we are the skin disease of movie podcasts. Afte…

SWINGERS 55:10

1M ago55:10

55:10

Before Vince Vaughn was America's doughy best friend and Jon Favreau was launching Iron Man and the Mandalorian (that guy loves armor, huh?), these two babyfaces shot a shoestring comedy that captures the brief moment in America when chain wallets, indoor smoking, and swing dancing were not just tolerated but were emblematic of a lifestyle that can…

Welcome, most valorous warriors to this, the Twilight Of The Series “Give Me One More Chance.” Today you draw your blades with us as we face the trial of the final movie of our lord Thor/Thunor/Donar/Irving (that last one is a rare translation) and if we fall on the field of cinema, we sh…

Get busy Daddin', or get busy podcastin'. Carve your names into the eaves with the Dads as we attempt to break free from Frank Darabont's Steven King adaptation par excellence (featuring Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins, and the voice of Mr. Krabs), 1994's THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION.Mike Dorval, Tooky Kavanagh, David Rabinow

1:09:05

Welcome to the next-to-last episode in our “Give Me One More Chance” series. Before we get into this latest installment of the “Mission: Impossible” series (which should be called “Mission: Impossible: Too Many Colons”), we have some unpleasant business to take care of. I’m afraid our top-secret Max, Mike; Movie headquarters has been infiltrated by…

STIR CRAZY 51:47

2M ago51:47

51:47

Wait, Sidney Poitier directed this? Huh. Ok, then. Pryor. Wilder. Poitier. Every Dad is born having seen this movie. It combines everything Dads know about the criminal justice system with everything Dads know about the rodeo. It's why your Dad is neither a lawyer nor a cowboy. Get your chicken costumes out because we're watching the comedy smash o…

Ok, ok, hang on, hold that still . . . so, in honor of this week’s entry in our “Give Me One More Chance” series, the found-footage, shaky-cam opus “Cloverfield,” I’m creating my very own handheld video masterpiece “Thistlemeadow,” complete with terrifying monsters and human drama, so let’s get, wha’ . . . DAMN, I dropped the video camera . . . han…

SAY ANYTHING 1:00:35

1:00:35

This movie features an all-time complicated Dad (John Mahoney), and is helmed by the wunderkind (Cameron Crowe) that launched a string of Dad movies, so you can- Hang on; just give me a second? (Goes to window; opens it) "It's after 2:00 am; goodnight, Lloyd." (Closes window) Sorry. That kid is out here every night blasting his Peter Gabriel. Which…

An odd companion piece to last week's episode (THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS) featuring another aspect of human existence (this week: ASD, last week: trans awareness) that in 2024 we have a vastly more informed cultural relationship to than we did at the time of these movies' respective releases. AND YET, I think it's fair to say that our deepened under…

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of “Give Me One More Chance” at Max and Mike’s House of Magic *poof* *cough, hack* uh, yes, magic smoke! Stupid, semi-toxic magic smoke . . . I mean, Oooo! Such magic! Now I have here the very magical Dagger of Dennak, which I assure you is very real and very sharp, as I will demonstrate by cuttin…

THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS 56:12

2M ago56:12

56:12

Hannibal Lecter has been in the news recently for reasons both dumb and stupid. But Anthony Hopkins' performance is anything but - the only thing scarier than this film is the prospect of another four years of [REDACTED]. Speaking of presidential trauma, Jodie Foster is equally incredible in this flick. Dads love Jodie Foster, because her movies ar…

Ok, Indy, ok. Enough. It’s too much, you understand? The candy, the flowers, the cards, the singing gorilla-grams . . . it’s gotta stop. Sure, we’re doing a series called “Give Me One More Chance”, and yes, your last movie didn’t exactly smooth over what you did in the movie before it . . . I’m NOT being unreasonable and I NEVER promised I wouldn’t…

Helloooo, Adventurers! Welcome back to our series “Give Me One More Chance”! Your quest today . . . is to listen to OUR quest today, which is to revisit the most recent attempt to bring the tabletop roleplaying game Dungeons and Dragons (a game that Mike and I MIGHT have some teeny, tiny, very slight connection to and experience with) to the silver…

MEN IN BLACK 53:17

3M ago53:17

53:17

America has had a lot of Dads. The good (Michael Landon, Barack Obama), the bad (Bill Cosby, Alec Baldwin), and the confusingly discordant (RIP Bob Saget/Danny Tanner). But we submit here that America's greatest Dad is almost never pictured with an actual son or daughter, yet nonetheless appears in many films as a distant-yet-deeply-caring-dispense…

THREE MEN AND A BABY 55:55

3M ago55:55

55:55

Inside each of us is three Dads... (I've made this joke already, but c'mon) You've got a Guttenberg - sensitive and clueless. You've got a Danson - dashing and egomaniacal. You've got a Selleck - rugged and protective. These Dads are engaged in a relentless battle for dominance within you. When you suddenly have a baby (and I sincerely hope none of…

Episode 301 – Minority Report (2002) 1:05:20

Welcome to another new, minty-fresh, sanitized-for-your-convenience series here at “Max, Mike; Movies”! After 300 episodes, we’re in a forgiving mood. Our hearts are filled with love and whipped hydrogenated oil. We’ve all been hurt in the past, some of us as recently as this morning (sorry Mike! You just looked so flammable!), by friends, by lov-a…

PREDATOR 52:06

3M ago52:06

52:06

GET TO THE CHOPPAH! (Dads love a good Arnold impression) The Dads turn on their thermal vision to dissect the film that launched the handshake that launched a thousand memes. Schwarzenegger. Weathers. Ventura. Van Damme (in absentia). And a bunch of vaguely problematic Dad stereotypes that somehow age like fine wine. It's John McTiernan's horror-ac…

Episode 300 – Dune: Parts One and Two (2021, 2024) 2:02:45

2:02:45

Three hundred episodes! Who would have believed it? It seems like only yesterday that people were asking us “why are you bothering?” over and over and over. Then came the genuine incredulity, the open hostility, the petitions begging us to stop, the changes in city zoning laws to try to outlaw us, the angry mobs, the torches, the screaming and wail…

HIDDEN FIGURES 53:09

3M ago53:09

53:09

Listen, the Dads make no secret of our political leanings: would we would prefer this country and its institutions be run by women of color? LIKELY. Is this a topical issue at the moment? PERHAPS. Are we feeling (cautiously) hopeful right now? MAYBE. Did we want to honor this unprecedented time in American history by talking about a film wherein Bl…

Episode 299 – The Fantastic Four (1994 . . . sort of) 1:02:41

1:02:41

Welcome to the final Roger Corman episode (no, really, we mean it this time) in our mini-series “Be Adjacent to the Cor-Man.” Super-hero movies: can you believe there was a time when they weren’t being released on a daily basis? This dim and distant era was called “The 1990’s” and we didn’t have any of this fancy CGI crap or compelling stories or t…

48 HOURS 1:00:33

1:00:33

Inside every one of us are two Dads, fighting for supremacy. One looks like Jack Cates. One looks like Reggie Hammond. Do I have to tell you which one to listen to? The Dads carefully dissect the not-at-all problematic and hugely influential "buddy" cop comedy from 1982 (featuring the breakout performance from Eddie Murphy), Walter Hill's 48 HOURS.…

Episode 298 – Grand Theft Auto (1977) 1:00:55

4M ago1:00:55

1:00:55

We thought we were free of the Cor-Man, but we’ve decided to do him true honor, we must honor the films that he may not have directed but that are still covered in his sweaty hand-prints, and this week is no different . . . from this week. We’re taking on 1977’s “Grand Theft Auto,” the directorial debut of one Opie Cunningham . . . I mean, Ron Howa…

MIDNIGHT RUN 55:13

4M ago55:13

55:13

Sometimes - maybe most of the time? - we don't fully appreciate our Dads until we've had a chance to reflect on them. Their tiny brilliances, their hidden diamond facets behind their seemingly-workaday veneer...these can sometimes go unremarked upon until one day you look up and realize OH SHIT MY DAD IS THE BEST COMEDY OF THE 80S. Am I conflating …

We’ve done it! We’ve come to the end of our series “Be Like the Cor-Man”! They all laughed at us, laughed at us, I tell you! They said we were mad! Mad!! Well, now who’s mad?! Ahahahahahaha! We’ve made it through Roger Corman’s final directorial opus “Frankenstein Unbound”! They told us only lunatics would even attempt such an abomination! Fools! C…

GOLDFINGER 1:01:21

4M ago1:01:21

1:01:21

True story: My Dad purchased a bunch of tvs from an electronics store. He was informed that he would receive a discount if he signed up for their in-house credit card. So he (of course) proceeded to do so under a fake name because everyone knows that LAWS DO NOT APPLY TO DADS. When asked for his name for the card he said: "Bond. Fenimore Bond." I t…

Log entry, nighttime, July something or other. So, we’re coming to the end of our series “Be Like the Cor-Man” and in preparation for our discussion of “The Trip,” an exploration of the effects of an LSD experience, I’ve decided to really commit to the message of the film, so I’ve eaten half a sheet of blotter acid in preparation. I’m pretty sure t…

KRAMER VS. KRAMER 1:00:12

4M ago1:00:12

1:00:12

How rare is it for a movie to serve as a primer on how to both BE and NOT BE a Dad? This film is the "Scared Straight" of Dad movies. Also Ted Kramer is a lousy person who is capable of great things. Or a great person who does a lot of lousy things. Is it any wonder that Dustin Hoffman won an Oscar? Meryl Streep, Jane Alexander, and Justin Henry al…

THE KING OF KONG: A FISTFUL OF QUARTERS 56:25

4M ago56:25

56:25

Perhaps we don't touch on the dark side of Dads often enough. But ask anyone who's even been, had, or known a Dad and they'll tell you it's there. The obsessiveness, the pettiness, the gatekeeping... it's all there. Perhaps (as this podcast occasionally posits) the real merit of a Dad comes from our ability to recognize and (hopefully) evolve into …

Forget the podcast, Ricky. Give 'em the heater. Lotsa Dad types in this one: Corbin Bernsen's asshole Dad, Chelcie Ross' Christian Dad (with a hidden stash of Hustlers), Tom Berenger's seemingly- cool-but-oh-wait-actually-kind-of-sad Dad, and James Gammon's tough love Dad. Plus you got a Sheen (Dads LOVE Sheens!) AND a Haysbert (the voice of Allsta…

Episode 293 – Battle Beyond the Stars (1980) 59:58

5M ago59:58

59:58

In 1977, a little indie film called “Star Wars” was released, ushering in a new era for science-fiction films. Its budget? Eleven million dollars. To which Roger “Be Like the Cor-Man” Corman replied “hold my beer” and a mere three years later presented the world with the sci-fi epic “Battle Beyond the Stars” for a much more reasonable two million d…

Happy Upcoming Father's Day! In honor of the holiday, and in the (very Dad) spirit of making amends for mistakes made years prior, we present this VERY Dad-centric original vision of the 1980 sequel to SUPERMAN: THE MOTION PICTURE. For reasons (see: capitalism), the original theatrical release was credited to Richard Lester after Richard Donner (or…

There’s a new superhero in town, the man they call “X”! He has the power to see through things! Clothing! Human skin! Manila file folders! And how does he use this power to fight crime, you ask? Uh . . . well, I guess he could see criminals naked and mock them about any body image problems they might have until they surrendered out of sheer embarra…

THE MALTESE FALCON 55:13

5M ago55:13

55:13

Dads love two things: MacGuffins and culturally irrelevant impressions. This film gives our Dads the chance to enjoy the ur-MacGuffin while dusting off our best Bogey (or even our Peter Lorre!) for the eyerolled "amusement" of our progeny. Also, it's one of the greatest movies ever mad yada yada yada. This week: John Huston's 1941 hard-boiled noir-…

Episode 291 – Little Shop of Horrors (1960)

5M ago

Tremble before the rise of the Cor-man! We’re in “Be Like the Cor-man” now, up to our necks! For all his chintzy budgets, churned-out scripts, and lilliputian shooting schedules, Roger Corman hardly ever lost money on any of his pictures. Some of those pictures . . . one finds oneself asking “how?” as is the case of the 1960 now-cult-classic “Littl…

BLOODSPORT 1:01:14

5M ago1:01:14

1:01:14

Every Dad knows: you gotta take out the trash. What every Dad comes to learn: done correctly, taking out the trash is a vacation. A brief respite from the demands of family interaction, a chance to ever-so-briefly immerse oneself in a larger world. Trash has value: spiritual and emotional value. BLOODSPORT is trash. It is eminently disposable and p…

Spit fire and save matches, we’ve got us a new series! And it’s a doozy, recognizing one of the greatest most talented highly influential directors of the last hundred years. Who you may ask? Ron Howard? Sure, “Apollo 13” is decent and “A Beautiful Mind” won some minor awards like an Oscar but did he bring us “Dinoshark”? No, he did not! Martin Sco…

BOOGIE NIGHTS 1:02:15

6M ago1:02:15

1:02:15

Discussion of this magnificent film inspired Dad Mike to say: "I'm going full Harrison Butker on The Girthmaster." I can't think of a stronger endorsement to listen to a deep Porn Dad discussion of Paul Thomas Anderson's 1997 masterpiece BOOGIE NIGHTS.
