CHRONOLOGICAL CROWE: Noah (2014)
Monday May 30, 2022
Monday May 30, 2022
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!

SCORSESE’S GANGSTERS: Casino (1995)
Monday May 23, 2022
Monday May 23, 2022
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.
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. Check out his website at https://sirrsfurniture.com/NYFM or his Instagram for more pictures of his work.

SCORSESE’S GANGSTERS: The Departed (2006)
Monday May 16, 2022
Monday May 16, 2022
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.

MOTHER’S DAY-- Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1992)
Monday May 09, 2022
Monday May 09, 2022
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 circumstances where the fate of all life rests squarely on her shoulders...
No, it isn't ALIENS again.
It's TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY!
The action classic with a strong family at its core holds a spot in all of our hearts and has one of our favorite tough movie moms in Sarah Connor. We talk family, we talk nostalgia, we talk the landscape of sequels and the legacy of the Terminator franchise.

SCORSESE’S GANGSTERS: Gangs of New York (2002)
Monday May 02, 2022
Monday May 02, 2022
"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!

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 cruise control in your souped-up black Dodge Charger and enjoy the pod.

Monday Apr 11, 2022
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 also talk quite but about RAUNCHINESS! No, we aren't raunchy here, but we talk about it because we all have kids. Do we ever want to watch raunchy comedies with them?
Join us on this loop-the-loop of time loop adventures and we hope you enjoy the ride!

Monday Apr 04, 2022
Monday Apr 04, 2022
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 different versions and we talk about what exactly makes this summer popcorn extravaganza a DAD-MOVIE!
