You Dad To Be There - The Movies of 1984 with Greg and Russ

By: Greg Wong and Russ Rossam
  • Summary

  • Greg and Russ are two Gen-X dads with receded hairlines and a deep and abiding love of talking about movies. In this podcast, their cinematic deep dives focus on the films of 1984 - a year that brought the world classics like Ghostbusters, The Terminator, The Karate Kid, Beverly Hills Cop, Footloose, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension and many many more.   According to IMDB, there were 3,557 movies released in 1984, so if you want to join them for the next sixty-eight years, Greg and Russ will tackle one movie per week until they are 118 years old.

  • The NeverEnding Story (directed by Wolfgang Petersen)
    Jul 23 2023

    This week Russ and Greg are joined by Friend of the Pod Aaron McKeon as they talk about The NeverEnding Story - the favorite childhood movie of people who had a miserable childhood before joining QAnon! This movie has everything: sexualized twelve year olds who had to leave public life in order to avoid stalkers, suicidally depressed horses, bullies with stupid backpacks, 25 foot long phallic symbols, 25 foot high vulvic symbols, 25 foot high sphinxes with DD cup tatas and laser eyes,  and your three hosts trying to make sense of why anyone would show this movie to a kid.  You Dad To Be There is proud to present The NeverEnding Story!

    This week Russ and Greg Stir It Up with the genre and era defining Eddie Murphy classic, Beverly Hills Cop!  Russ reflects fondly on a childhood shaped by the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack and Greg shows some love to the Hollis Benton Art Gallery.  This episode won't leave you stalled out like a banana in the tailpipe, but it will sprinkle you with coffee grounds so you can avoid those pesky drug sniffing dogs.

  • Beat Street (directed by Stan Lathan)
    Jun 30 2023

    This week Russ and Greg battle the seminal hip hop movie Beat Street!  We will ask important questions such as "Is Chollie, the piano tie wearing, briefcase carrying, "agent"  secretly the most talented member of the crew?" and "What makes biting so offensive to Gen X?"  So if you're ready to revisit the King of the Beat with two guys who DEFINITELY would not do well in a breakdancing battle at the Roxy, give us a listen!
