Advertise on podcast: Not Your Father's Movies

Continuing on our journey through time, history, grit, grime, and glory - we have our next incarnation of our Gruff Australian hero... ROBIN HOOD.   Has this movie stood the test of time?   Let's be honest, I think most of us forgot about it until now. BUT NOT DAN!    Also as we've spoken about in the past our podcast has some trouble with our sense of the space-time continuum and so the future series mentioned at the end of the episode here MAY OR MAY NOT come soon.    WE SHALL SEE. Thanks so much for listening!   Also, please check out Sirr's Furniture! He produces some amazing pieces of woodworking and we can personally vouch for the quality of his work.

For our second Father’s Day episode, we are covering The Godfather: Part II. You know it, I know it. It is a stone-cold classic. Listen on.

Surprise episode everybody!

"Are you not entertained?!?" Russell Crowe is back for what is his most acclaimed movie, Gladiator! Not only critically acclaimed, this movie also has some deep roots in our hosts' nostalgia. We talk about our experiences as teenagers watching this movie for the first time as well as other 'swords and sandals' type movies. Are we supposed to be entertained by the heads rolling on the screen? Does this make us just as bad as the romans watching real heads roll in the coliseum? We try to tackle these and other deep questions that are enough to make our own heads roll....  So sit back, relax, run your hand through some wheat and click play on this episode. We hope you enjoy!

Bonus WHAT’S UP EPISODE OF NYFM

Hey listeners! We've got the beginning of a new series and the first Darren Aronofsky movie we have ever covered. This week is all about beginnings...it's Noah! If you are in the mood for some talk about animals, arks, and rock monsters then have we got an episode for you. This film runs deep in our group nostalgia - heck, this film might have saved the love of two star-crossed lovers. Between whom, you might ask? You just have to listen to find out! As you may have guessed by the title of the episode, our new series is with the one and only Russell Crowe. He is an all star in the halls of dad movie fame and it was only a matter of time before we dove headfirst into his long and incredible filmography. So sit back, relax, and order your rock monster to push play on this week's episode. We hope you enjoy!

Ladies and Gentlemen, are you ready for some high stakes gangsters? This is a big ol' epic mob movie about Casinos and we are here to talk about all of it! All 3 hours of it. But don't worry, we will condense it for you. We compare this one a LOT to Goodfellas. Guest starring the hollywood legend himself, Joe gives us his personal feelings about this compared to Goodfellas. We also dig deep into Ace's character, the way this story works, and also how all dads can connect to this epic gangster movie.  This is the end of our Scorsese run though. Now we must lay this to rest and depart from it. it was great to be with the ol' gang for a while, just hangin' with some goodfellas. All bets are off for the next series we will do.

CONTINUING our SCORSESE'S GANGSTER series, we have Marty's 2006 Boston Epic, his Sole Oscar-winning film (direction AND best picture): THE DEPARTED.   [WARNING: If you've seen this movie, you won't be surprised to hear that this episode contains EXPLICIT LANGUAGE. There are also, as usual, many spoilers. If you haven't seen the movie, STOP NOW and go watch it!]   Rejoining us for this episode we have our favorite Irishman, Pat! Or as he is better known - Paddy O'Pat. I think he may be a bigger fan of this than the last flick he joined us for (i.e. the best movie ever made, Con-Air!). This is a long one! We all have a long and important history with this movie, but somehow - after watching and rewatching over the last decade and a half - came out of this episode with new thoughts and new perspective. I think that's a sign of something great. We laugh, we cry, we learn a lot along the way. I guess. What did we learn here? I don't know. Maybe the real rats are the friends we killed along the way.   Come join us.   Email us at [email protected] and be sure to check out our twitter @NYFMovies and follow us on Instagram.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mother’s out there! As Dads, we appreciate you more than you know. Well, we have hopefully tried to show you exactly how much but you get the picture.

"Let us go on again...and...plunge into the Five Points.... Many of these pigs [wandering the streets foraging for food] live here. Do they ever wonder why their masters walk upright in lieu of going on all-fours? And why they talked instead of grunted?" ~ Charles Dickens People have been talking about the five points for a long time, and we are here to continue that conversation with Scorsese's Gangs of New York. Some of these dads really like this. Some think it's just ok. Some of us never want to see it again. We dig into all sorts of things about this movie. We talk about how it is trying to do too much, weather or not it has aged well, and how this movie is working. It's a wild conversation here.  It really doesn't feel good to be a gangster in the mid 1800s. The streets are nasty. The homes are filthy. Its a perfect situation for some dads to brawl. We hope you will join us with this absolutely crazy movie!   Email us at [email protected] and be sure to check out our twitter @NYFMovies and follow us on Instagram.
