Dad Podz Presentz the Unofficial M.C.U. Podcast

Episode 23: “It’s such a fine line between stupid, and uh…clever”

1984. Not a tribute to Eddie Van Halen and the seminal album 1984, but should have been. We Jump into the comedies released in 1984. We journey down past Panama for a great Douglas/Turner RomCom. We cover the Hot for Teacher classic Revenge of the Nerds. It's no House of Pain for the Muppets in a field trip to New York. We see Sigourney Weaver as a Girl Gone Bad in a Bill Murray Classic. And you will play I'll Wait for our favorite comedies of 1984.

Episode 22: 2007. ’That’s one doodle that can’t be undid home skillet.’

2007: The height of Apatowism. We cover 5-6 movies that today would be Amazon Prime shows. We've got gross out teen movies like Superbad and smart indie comedies like Juno or Waitress. We've got a Simpsons cash grab a Will Ferrell cash grab and some high quality mumblecore. Come for Shane's irrational Phillip Seymore Hoffman love and stay for Dad Bod of the week.

Episode 21: 1989. ’I’ll have what she’s having.’

So, do we follow our convention and take another year of comedy films, or is this what everyone has been wanting, a deep dive into the classic Taylor Swift record about break ups and celebrity? You will have to listen to find out. Join us for great fun that starts in a McDonalds parking lot and a major Dadmission (when a dad admits a mistake). For purely convention this is the first episode of season 2. Sure to be better than season 1. Rate, review, subscribe.

Episode 20: ’That’s not flying, that’s just falling with style.’

The pandemic rages on. The west coast of the country is on fire. Our police force continues to perform extrajudicial punishment on members of our society. So we do the natural thing: We discuss comedy movie releases from 1995. Clueless! Mallrats! Tommy Boy! Father of the Bride 2! Join us as we stroll down memory lane back to a year that launched Windows 95, the glitchiest of the Windows operating systems. Listen! Rate! Review! Try to falsify our numbers to make advertisers fight over our sponsorship! Whatever. We will see you next week. Thanks for listening.

Episode 19: “And the rockets red glare….buncha bombs in the air…came proof to the night that we still had a flag.”

1988. The penultimate episode of Season 1. Why are we arbitrarily starting a new season after episode 20? Seems the right thing to do. No Michael Dukakis talk this week. But we do hit the Naked Gun, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the beginning of Tom Hanks Super Duper Star, a little baseball movie and an all-time Eddie Murphy movie. Come to learn about comedy history, stay for the inevitable digressions. Rate, Subscribe, Review, Send us Cash! Actually sending cash in the time of COVID-19 seems like assault. Venmo us.

Episode 18: Yeah........I’m gonna need you to come in on Saturday.

Tonight, we party like it's 1999! [Boo! Hiss!] I know, but these descriptions don't just write themselves. It's not that we are lazy, it's that we just don't care. But seriously, we hit 1999 and cover the best and some of the worst. We have some notable sequels, a couple of classics, one of the weirdest movies you will ever see, and we cover the teen-age-ification of some of literature's classics, which was a staple of 1999. Listen! Send us cash!

Episode 17: “Wait A Minute, Doc. Are You Telling Me You Built A Time Machine...Out Of A DeLorean?”

1985. We go back to 1985. Prime Chevy Chase. Paul Reubens, AKA Pee Wee Herman. John Hughes gets detention. The great Michael J Fox fools around with his mom. And Richard Donner makes a classic kid caper. We list 'em. We rank 'em. We tell you who in 1985 had the best dad bod. Listen! Rate! Review! Subscribe! Or Don't! Have fun! Stay Safe! And WEAR A BLEEPING MASK!

’You seem like a decent fellow, I hate to kill you.’ ’You seem like a decent fellow, I hate to die.’

1987: the greatest year for comedy movie releases of all time, this week. Mel Brooks, Rob Reiner, Steve Martin, Robin Williams, Eddie Murphy, and because we have a contract with the enigmatic actor, Nic Cage. What do they have in common? They all released amazing films in 1987 that stand the test of time and make us laugh over and over again. We discuss them all. And Dad bod of the week.

Episode 15: ”Nobody makes me bleed my own blood.”

2004! Comedies! We post this a bit out of order from our recording. But we are bad at this. Listen. Or Don't. Subscribe and send us cash. We will give you a receipt.

Episode 14: “Have You Ever Fired Your Gun Up In The Air And Gone, ‘Aaargh!’?”

Michael and Shane continue their breakdown of the greatest action movie era, this time tackling 2002 through 2007. We've got Tom Cruise, Matt Damon, Nolan's Batman, the New Bond, and as always more Nic Cage. If you like us, let us know. We don't care if you subscribe or if you even listen.
