Happy Halloween!על ידי Not Your Father’s Movies

How did we get here? The same way the coin got here! We start this part going over the 2007 oscars! What won and what we think should have won. Then, we talk deeply about these movies and what on earth we think is going on in them. Last, we bring out ye ol' dad questions and ask whether these are all dad movies/a dad series. This was a honest and i…

Howdy partners! Come join us along the trail as we keep talkin' 'bout these here 2007 cowboys. This time we are covering our favorite scenes of al 3 of these movies! The outlaw Jesse immediately starts arguin' 'bout coins and cats. Then, we hunt our likes and dislikes all all three of these movies. Things get interestin' here as we try to dive more…

Hello! And greetings from the very serious birthday boy who picked these incredibly serious 2007 western movies! We got some big, big movies to cover here, so listen up y’all. We are continuin’ our new episode format. With this episode, we cover some cast and crew for these here three legends. We also got some mighty meaty nostalgia comin’ your way…

Friends and Neighbors, we return this week to the land of magic and mayhem, the land of large creatures and even larger victories, we return one final time into the mind of the great, the inescapable, the indefatigable Steven Spielberg! This is the moment you've been waiting for, the pinnacle, the finale, the whole purpose of this series - are JAWS…

Friends and Neighbors, what's better than a whole new approach and a whole new series? NO IDEA when the episodes are going to drop! That's right, this was definitely on purpose. No it wasn't, we're busy/lazy people and today is the earliest we were able to publish. Sorry. THIS WEEK, we bring you back to the land of MOVIE MAGIC, the land that was di…

Friends and Neighbors, we come to you bearing glad tidings of great change. Small change. Well, some sort of change. With this next series, we're trying something ENTIRELY DIFFERENT with the formatting - instead of breaking up the episodes by movie, we're breaking them up by conversation. Here, for our inaugural series of the new NYFM format, we ha…

It is Dan's First Birthday Episode! In case you thought Dan was a normal, chill dude, be ready for some surprises in this episode. He chose to discuss two very strange, existentialist movies. The 2009 film by Jaco Van Dormael, Mr. Nobody and the 2013 film by Denis Villeneuve, Enemy. These are wild, intense, very adult, and our conversations are jus…

Here is Vito's Second Annual Birthday Episode! Last year, Vito wanted to cover choreography, both with musicals and fight choreography. And to cover that, Vito picked The Raid, The Raid: Berendal, and All That Jazz. This year is totally different. The discussion this year is computer generated images versus practical effects. Basically, we are usin…

NSFW: Crude jokes and language (except one of Mike's F-bombs are bleeped out for some reason. Why? Because I am mediocre.) This episode is so chrome. Its so shiny. Actually, it ain't shiny at all. Vito is under the weather, Jesse is sick as well, Dan's library ran out of wifi, and Mike read the word "Imperator" wrong. Its a strange episode and I lo…

The third and perhaps most surprising installment in our CARS series (as in movies WITH cars, not the Cars movies) is Speed Racer! If you have seen this movie then you will understand when we warn you this episode is fast, exciting, and a little all over the place. We grapple with our opinions - is this art for art's sake? Who was the intended audi…

Next up for our CAR MOVIES that absolute unequivocal category of dad movies we have the carsiest one of them all, CARS! If you've seen this movie, you know what it's about. If you haven't (weird) I'll give you three guesses. Jesse and Mike were BOTH out this week as they apparently don't have what it takes but fortunately we are rejoined this week …

Hey Everyone! Here is another episode where we talk about literally everything we have been watching in the month of June.

So here is a way to check out the episode a…

Is there anything more "dad" than a car? Or a bus? Or Freeways? No there is not. We are tackling some of our favorite tire-squealin' movies. The rubber really meets the asphalt in this series! (heh) Today we are talkin' Speed! The Keanu Reeves classic of not trying to hit everything on the road. We get into some arguments in this one. Namely about …

The final episode of our Chronological Crowe series has finally arrived! It has been travelling all the way from the far side of the world, survived many naval battles, and maybe even had brain surgery. We discuss many topics regarding leadership, pride, choosing the lesser of two weevils - we get deep! We can't believe how amazingly this movie has…

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 th…

Happy Father's Day! 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. Please check out Sirr's Furniture!

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 save…

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 th…

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. For this Mother's Day, in grand NYFM tradition, we are doing yet another James Cameron sequel centering on a strong female character called upon to mother in dire circum…

"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 he…

NYFM is coming at you with a NEW RELEASE! Some of us with a lifelong passion and appreciation for everything Batman. Others just really loving Colin Farrel teaching Batman how Spanish works! We talk about everything we loved in Matt Reeve's The Batman, as well as some critiques we don't see eye to eye on...which is great! So please relax, press cru…

A NEW SERIES IS HERE!!! We are tackling SCORCESE'S GANGSTERS and the first movie is 1990's cinematic masterpiece, the must-see event of your life, possibly (one) of the greatest films ever made. It's about betrayal, community, family, violence, love, sin, redemption...everything a good movie is about! We talk about Scorcese and set the groundwork f…

Here we are. Still talking about Time Loops. Still repeating that idea over and over. This time though, we are doing something much more recent and slightly pandemic related. It's Palm Springs everyone! We talk how it ties into our series as a whole, we talk about Andy Samberg we talk about how this relates (or not) to specific generations, and we …

For our third TIME LOOPS episode, we bring you EDGE Of TOMORROW, the alien war movie starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt! This was a fun one as it is a Cruise that he doesn't play often and it is one of a few very unique and original sci-fi movies that has come out in the last ten years. We talk how it ties into our series as a whole, we talk about…

Welcome to our second annual Oscar's episode. We recorded this immediately after finishing the Oscars and as your timeline feeds on your social media apps have been telling you, IT WAS WILD! We are joined by a very special guest who works in the industry himself who breaks down some of the more interesting gaffes, faux pas, and general awkward goof…

For our second foray into time loops, it's ABOUT TIME! This charming rom-com about a boy who discovers he can time travel by just thinking really hard about it is one of the more touching and even at times, dare I say, controversial pick amongst us all. Unfortunately, Vito and Mike were unable to join the discussion but Jesse and Dan are joined by …

Can there ever be a song more repetitive than Cher and Sonny's voices at 6AM in the morning?

Well we surprised you all by bringing Jesse back before our Maximum Cage series finished and boy was that a surprise. What can I say? Things happen here. Time is strange. There's no frontier anymore.

We have reached the end of our journey, forging the path ahead for a safer Gotham. Can't wait for cocktails in Italy after this! Kidding, but we have arrived at the conclusion of the Dark Knight trilogy, one of the most foundational trilogies we have encountered in our lives.

Yo. It's Batman. One of the most (if not THE most) important movie to all 3 of our teenagehoods. We take a look back at this classic after not seeing it for a long time. With some fresh eyes and at new stages in life, we have some new thoughts on it. We also rehash our old thoughts about it. Why was this a big deal? Does this stand out from the oth…

EVERYBODY! Listen to me now! This is the most important and craziest episode we have ever done.

Featured Guest: JP Signs. You see them every day. But are they actually signs? Or just coincidences? Judging by everyone else's driving, most people definitely think signs are just coincidences.
