About this listen
HELLOOOO, dear listeners! The boys are back and we’re kicking off our return with a deep dive into Mrs. Doubtfire, the heartwarming 1993 family comedy about—checks notes—identity fraud, stalking your ex-wife, and the healing power of latex prosthetics.
Robin Williams delivers a legendary performance as Daniel Hillard: a man so determined to see his kids, he creates a fake Scottish nanny persona, passes a background check under false identity, and nearly kills James Bond with a lime. It’s emotional. It’s chaotic. It’s borderline criminal. And somehow, it still works.
We talk: – Why Sally Field is 100% right and everyone owes her an apology – The myth of the NC-17 Doubtfire cut – Forgotten ‘90s dad jobs (toy designer, dinosaur host, air freshener mogul??) – Matthew Lawrence and the Lawrence Brother Cinematic Universe – The chaotic protagonist vs. reasonable villain problem in movies – And why this movie is basically The Fugitive in a floral cardigan
Also featuring: debates about whether this movie would or should be made today, Steve's terrifying knowledge of Beethoven, and a teaser for next week's episode: Timecop (Van Damme + time travel = instant chaos).
