A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers. In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest. These works aren’t meant to be easy to reach—or to explain—but they just might change how you see the world. Land art you’ll visit in this episode: - Double Negative and City by Michael Heizer (Garden Valley, Nevada) - Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson (Great Salt Lake, Utah) - Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (Great Basin Desert, Utah) - Lightning Field by Walter De Maria (Catron County, New Mexico) - Roden Crater by James Turrell (Painted Desert, Arizona) Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.…

If Reagan's America were a film, it'd probably be this one.
Happy New Year from your favorite Dads!
This movie launched or re-launched a bunch of careers, made a bajillion dollars and has a case for the definitive movie of the 80s (for a bunch of reasons discussed herein); and YET it's still a bit of a funky rewatch. Nonetheless, we dig into the 41-year-old funk of John Landis' 1983 comedy TRADING PLACES.

The shifting responsibilities of a Dad are similar to those of an artist: are we beholden to our audience/offspring? Or is our duty to our own secret compass, unknowable to all but our own secret Dad/artist heart, to become the finest version of ourselves and force the world to meet us where we exist? Spike Lee - noted Dad and enjoyer of Dad pastimes (jazz, baseball, yelling at Reggie Miller) - asks these questions and more in his critically-acclaimed and elusive follow up to DO THE RIGHT THING. This movie is full of Guys Dads Love: Giancarlo Esposito, Wesley Snipes, John Turturro, Charlie Murphy, and - featured proudly on the Dad Movie Mt. Rushmore - Denzel Washington. Dig the Dads digging that crazy sound in a movie about jazz that's not really about jazz at all, 1990's MO' BETTER BLUES.…
"Is this the potato farm? "Yes. I am Albert Potato." The Dads could not think of a better way to honor the life and legacy of Val Kilmer than to review this chaotic slice of comedy pie. Come for the cheap puns, stay for the impossibly graceful comedic performance by a baby Val K in 1984's Zucker-Abrams-Zucker Airplane! follow-up TOP SECRET!…
We've lost the great Gene Hackman, but sport is cyclical and therefore gives the illusion of permanence. And a great sports movie taps into that feeling, even while reminding us that the moments - all moments - are fleeting, at best. No wonder Dads - who believe ourselves to be both simultaneously immortal and hurtling towards the void - love a sports flick. With apologies to Neil Diamond and the Monkees, goodbye cranky Gene. There will be others but never another like you.…
Is there anything more Dad-coded than being uncomfortable talking to your kids about sex? (Maybe it's just me) I think this movie represents a fantasy Dad universe: one wherein all the children try to figure out sex without a Dad being forced to have a frank or uncomfortable conversation. The Dads in this movie are like the humans in FLOW, or the girl in GONE GIRL: purely theoretical. Get on our Dad level as we dig Penn, Reinhold, Whitaker, Stoltz, Cates, and the unbeatable Jennifer Jason Leigh in the great Amy Heckerling's 1982 coming-of-age classic FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH.…
Happy Easter and Passover and Eid and all the rest of it from the Dads! We got you the only thing all the major religions can agree on: Moses!

Vin Diesel's voice work reminds me of former Seattle Mariners' 2B Bret Boone - an excellent career but with one truly OUTSTANDING season. Vin can get you a decent action movie or even frontline your franchise. But his voice overs are his Bret-Boone-in-2001 work: Groot (from the GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY films) and the title character of this week's film. Did we cry? YOU BET YOUR ASS WE DID. Get your hankies for one of the finest American animated films ever, Brad Bird's 1999 masterpiece THE IRON GIANT.…
Paul Verhoeven. Sharon Stone. Peak Arnold Schwarzenegger. And a movie that wasn't afraid to have mutants 30 years before the MCU launched. So ration your air and prepare for the Dads to implant the memory of this podcast right into your temporal lobes. Hopefully you don't get one of those schizoid embolisms from 1990's TOTAL RECALL!…
Boy, they don't make 'em like this anymore, do they? This movie launched Costner, rebooted Hackman's career, and should've elevated Sean Young into the stratosphere. Alas. But if you were wondering what was going through every Gen Xers mind when they rented a prom limo, well, now you know. Keep your eyes open for Yuri and join the Dads as they trek back to 1987 for Roger Donaldson's NO WAY OUT. (By the way, Paul Anka's NO WAY OUT pales before Phil Collins' AGAINST ALL ODDS in the battle for 80s romantic thriller theme tunes, but that's just one Dad's opinion)…
RIP to the Dad Movie GOAT, Gene Hackman. More on his incredible legacy in future episodes... Hey, the world's a tire fire, so take a little time travel trip back to 1996 when things (kinda sorta?) made sense. Or, at least, America was wrestling with widening our collective understanding of inclusivity, as opposed to (checks notes)...yeah. This movie is kind of fascinating - understandably divisive but full of undeniable talent (from the source material to the direction to the megawattage of stars Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, Diane Wiest, and the aforementioned Mr. Hackman). Dig in with the Dads as we tackle Mike Nichols' classic comedy THE BIRDCAGE!…
Hey friends! The Dads have been wicked busy doing Dad Shit (tm); apologies for the delay and thank you for your patience. We're hoping to get some new eps up by next week; in the meantime, sit back and enjoy an encore presentation of our discussion of the movie that launched this particular endeavor. Tune in or I swear to God I'll shoot the other Dads and dump them in a f!@#$%g swamp! [turns to other Dads and shakes head "no"] It's always time for MIDNIGHT RUN!…
IT'S NOT THE REMAKE! Do yourself a favor and read this essay before, after, or during your viewing of this movie and/or listening to this podcast: https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2021/02/03/on-hustles/ Hanif Abdurraqib is the realest of deals, y'all. Buy all of his books and thank us later. Can you imagine an America pre-Rosie Perez? I'm glad I don't have to. Dig in as the Dads dissect Ron Shelton's basketbomedy, 1992'S WHITE MEN CAN'T JUMP.…
Look, if you want to know why Gen X is so f#$%ed up, just know that a major studio made this movie with the thought: "This is what they want." Cage. Malkovich. Cage's hair. Cusack. Cage's accent. Trejo. Chappelle. More Cage. Ving Rhames. The guy from Star Trek: The Next Generation (not that guy, the other one). Cage shirtless. Steve Buscemi. And - did I mention - Nic Cage?

You know the best part of the holiday season? Hanging out with your family! OK, maybe sometimes that's not the BEST part; families are tricky little communities of biologically-linked individuals, each carrying a boatload of what NPR's Linda Holmes evocatively named "little weirdsies". Family can be a tough hang, at this or any time of year. But what if... there was a family so perfectly warm and caring and charming that you'd break state (and possibly federal) laws to join them under false pretenses? Somehow, this movie about a lonely orphan who develops an unhealthy fixation on an immoral comatose Chicago lawyer and ingratiates herself into his family AND THEN falls in love with the lawyer's woodworking brother manages to not only be not creepy but... charming? I don't know, either. But I know kuh-RAH-tee. Bullock! Pullman! And the best cast of character actors this side of an episode of TAXI... Jon Turtletaub directs the 1995 holiday rom-com WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING!…
Dads love order. We like routine, a hierarchy, knowing where we stand at all times. The Mob provides the illusion of order. This movie reveals what a life of organized crime really entails: chaos, anxiety, terror, and senseless violence. This movie is an anti-Dad instructional video, and should be required viewing for all Dads. They should have it running in the delivery and waiting rooms. There should be an AI-generated Paul Sorvino PSA warning Dads to shape up inserted at regular intervals during these hospital screenings. This movie will make you a better Dad if you do the opposite of everything in this movie. Be a shnook, willya? And enjoy your noodles and ketchup. DeNiro. Pesci. Liotta. Bracco.

Bruce Lee was - for a brief period - perhaps the most famous person in the world. He died in 1973 (at the far-too-young age of 32). Dads Mike and Dave were born in 1974, the first generation to live in a post-Bruce Lee world, and the last to have members who experienced Lee's fame and the kung fu mania that followed it firsthand. Someday-Dad Tooky has never seen a Bruce Lee film BUT she has seen a great deal of Bruce Lee-inspired properties (see: our last podcast for THE LAST DRAGON). How will Tooky respond when confronted with the OG, the egg from which not only hatched films like THE LAST DRAGON (good!) and NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER (terrible!), but also virtually every martial arts video game/comic book/sports league (looking at you, MMA!) that we use today to shield our tender souls from the brutality of the real world? Good news: you hold the answer in your podcatcher. Put on your gi and get ready to fight, because it's time for our deep Dad dive into Michael Clouse's 1973 seminal ENTER THE DRAGON!…

Vanity. William H. Macy for some reason. A knockoff Cyndi Lauper. And the only cinematic villain to approach Darth Vader in ultimate 80s badassery, Sho'nuff.

Happy Thanksgiving! Dads love the Three Fs: family, feasting, and football. So we thought it might make for a nice opportunity to watch one of the most realistic and grounded sports films ever made. Just kidding. Calling this movie "batshit crazy" does a disservice to guano. Oliver Stone and an all-star cast go full cuckoo bananas in a movie that the Dads fully recommend you boot up immediately after dinner in an effort to avoid uncomfortable political discussions. Trust us: you can't argue about anything when (spoiler alert!) a DUDE GETS HIS DANGED EYE KNOCKED OUT IN A PLAYOFF GAME. Jamie Foxx. Al Pacino. Cameron Diaz. ANN-flippin'-MARGRET?

With Patrick Swayze. And Jennifer Grey. Which sounds cold. But hella sexy.

Dads take a lot of heat, and deservedly so: Life in a patriarchy means that much of this society is a direct reflection of generations of Dads - we have FOUNDING FATHERS for chrissakes - so everything, good and bad (and let's face it, the scales are tipping the wrong way) must be laid at our feet. And yet: We will do anything for our kids. A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G. Especially if it involves driving a bulldozer into a gun store. Arnold! Rae Dawn Chong! The kid from Who's The Boss?

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; but let's not let this year pass without memorializing the great Teri Garr. Dads, Moms, liberals, conservatives, cats, dogs - maybe the last thing we can agree on is "Teri Garr was great in that!" You can say it about everything she graced with her presence. The Dads pour one out for a real one as we dig deep into Stan Dragoti's 1983 romp MR. MOM.…

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 Steve Martin. Fred Schepisi directs Martin, Daryl Hannah, Shelley Winters, Fred Willard, and a right jolly cast of gentle weirdos through this Dad-candy (for whom among us Dads doesn't wish to change some unsightly physical feature ("Dad Bod" acceptance be damned)?

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 only be called "money". Ask your dad about it; he's probably got a non-ironic fedora in the back of his closet somewhere. Vegas, baby, Vegas!

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 understanding of these communities owes something (good or bad, or likely, a combo platter therein) to these films made on the cusp of the 90s. Dustin Hoffman got all the flowers for his performance, but this is the movie that cemented Tom Cruise as more than a good looking matinee idol. Like him or hate him, he's kinda perfect as a guy you hate but also kinda can't help liking, too. And, hey, if there's one thing all Dads can agree on is that the only thing we love more than a danged road trip movie is a danged road trip. So gas up the Roadmaster and buckle in for Barry Levinson's 1988 drama RAIN MAN.…

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 are always real good but not so good that you can't eat popcorn during them, you know what I mean? Howard Shore and Jonathan Demme just nail their assignments, as does pretty much everyone else here; the Dads talk about how the movie has aged (mostly like wine) and how goshdanged scared we all were. Buckle up and get away from that van; it's time for 1991's SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. (PS: Hi, Rio! -dave)…

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-dispenser-of-hard-truths-and-earned-wisdom. If that don't make Tommy Lee Jones a Dad, I don't know what does. The Dads are present for the birth of Blockbuster Will Smith in Barry Sonnenfeld's 1997 summer smash MEN IN BLACK!…

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 you ever receive a baby in the manner that the titular baby is delivered in this film), you will recognize these Dads as they rise and fall with your circumstances.

Sometimes - maybe most of the time? - we don't fully appreciate our Dads until we've had a chance to reflect on them.

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 think he still has the card, although the store has since gone out of business. (Someone please check the statute of limitations re: fraud charges in Florida? Thanks.)

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 all nail everything that can be nailed in Robert Benton's tastefully-directed tale of a dude learning to be less shitty, 1979's KRAMER VS. KRAMER.…
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 a newer, more supportive form. But does America want that for us? This film shows us the full spectrum of Dad, from manipulative to honest, from sinister to openhearted, and from (perhaps most strikingly) from retrogressive to evolved. If you don't see yourself in this movie, you're not a Dad. But trust me: you're in there somewhere.

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 (originally hired to shoot 1 & 2 at the same time) was fired. This version, released in 2006, hews closer to Donner's vision for the story arc and is a PERFECT Father's Day movie (especially if your Dad is either a Kryptonian hologram or an ice sculpture).
