FEATURED GUEST: CHRIS
Our third entry in our series of Movies about Hollywood is La La Land (2016), the third film tied for most nominations in the Academy Awards...ever.
Which is nuts.
We talk about it.
To help us, we enlist our old friend Chris, and Lis makes a guest appearance as well! Turns out, everybody had something to say about Seb and Mia's relationship.
Unfortunately, nobody started singing and dancing.
We also discuss how this movie fits into our series as a whole and the differing viewpoints we see about Hollywood from Once Upon a Time, to Sunset Blvd. This is our third in this series: one more to go!

MOVIES ABOUT HOLLYWOOD: Sunset Blvd. (1950)
Monday Jan 18, 2021
Monday Jan 18, 2021
This week, we're continuing Season 2 with our second episode of the Movies About Hollywood series. In this edition, we discuss the classic film Sunset Blvd. (1950).
What an episode this is.
Not Your Father's Movies loves to talk about how movies have affected us, and not just recent movies. We love to focus on those older movies that have stood the test of time and remained a classic to reach across generations. Judging by our conversation here, we think Sunset Blvd. does that beautifully.
Still, there's a lot that we end up debate about in this episode.
- Do these characters have hope?
- Who is the villain here?
- Can this ever truly be remade?
- Is this a Dad Movie?

MOVIES ABOUT HOLLYWOOD: Once Upon a Time...In Hollywood (2019)

FEATURED GUEST: JP
Welcome to Season Two of Not Your Father's Movies! In our past season, we covered a new classic trilogy of movies, a trilogy from our dad's time, and one from our grandfather's time. This generational bridge is our identity as a podcast, and is fundamental to who we are as we started our show. Going forward, we hope to bring something new: what is next for us as a podcast and us as dads.
We are starting a new series: movies about Hollywood. These are movies about movies, specifically those made in Tinseltown. We have a classic film, a new and possibly controversial pick, and a movie that straddles the line while inviting its own controversy along the way. These movies represent the way forward for NYFM: always striving towards something new while never forgetting the classics.
In this episode, we talk about Quentin Tarantinto's 9th movie: Once Upon a Time...In Hollywood. This movie is not without controversy, but is also not without adoration. We attempt to talk about both while addressing some of the bigger, meta-narrative questions inherent. We are joined by JP, a cultural scholar who specializes in the 1960's, especially in music and pop culture history. He helps shed light on a few questions we all have.
Thanks for listening, and stay tuned to our very exciting new season. This is a season where we challenge who we are and what we are doing: hope you are in for the ride! Look for some surprise guests, and some surprise movies, on the way.
It is more important than ever that you like, rate, and subscribe on whatever platform you are using. We need to hear from you and YOU (yes, you reading this) are the best person to reach out and talk to us.

TOP 5 MOVIES OF 2020
Tuesday Jan 05, 2021
Tuesday Jan 05, 2021
Welcome to season 2 of NYFM! We are kicking things off with a Year In Review of 2020, the dumpster fire year that most of us suffered through in seclusion. In many ways, it seemed movies and TV shows were our only reprieve. This episode sees us unpack much of what we saw this year, and what we thought about it!
We cover a few different TV shows we thought notable: Vito heaps praise on the Mandalorian, Jesse forgets who is in Middleditch and Schwartz, and Mike laughs to death over Avenue No. 5.
Next, we mention some of the biggest, splashiest movies that came out this year: Wonder Woman 1984, Soul, Mank, Tenet. For some of them, the less said the better, and for others, we do our best to keep the conversation brief. Also, we discuss the difference between a mention and an honorable one as we also talk about Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Palm Springs, Another Round, Lovers Rock, and Invisible Man.
We close with our top 5 movies of 2020, our collaborative list. I don't want to spoil the list here; that's for the episode. It's our sincere hope that even if you disagree with our rankings, you still give these movies your attention. They deserve to be seen and discussed!
Thanks for listening to this episode! If you like what you hear, check out our first season, and stay tuned for our new one. We have some surprises up our sleeve, and we can't wait to share them with you.
