We know, we know… The episodes have not been coming out as often as usual. But hey! We ain’t gonna stop! Movies are still being watched by us, but we also have children that demand way too much of our attention. In the meantime, we finally got around to talking about our favorite films of The Pandemic Year, 2020! It was obviously a very weird year for going to the movies and how we watch movies, but here’s to hoping that things tu...

Four great films from 2020. Tim starts off the episode pitching "Shithouse" and "Lover's Rock" to Kyle. Kyle comes back with his favorite film of 2020 "Black Bear", as well as a top 10 contender "Straight Up." The guys then meet up on Zoom to discuss which films they went with.

ENJOY

Welcome to Reel Dads #70. No long no see! Life has been very busy for Tim and Kyle, so while episodes might not be dropping on a regular basis, we aren't throwing in the towel! No sir, we will continue to be Dads (obviously) and we will continue to watch movies! We got four films released during 2020, the year of our Lord and Saviour, so watch some of these hot titles and get schooled!

We are slowly but surely back with another episode of Reel Dads, and we were in the mood to revisit the ol' Music Box! What's fun with this episode is that we both have new babies to take care of, and maybe with a little bit of irony, the albums recommended sound like what we would be listening to back when we were a bunch of emo-loving punks in high school. Both new releases from this year also! Lesson learned? STAY YOUNG FOREV...

Welcome to Reel Dads #67. While there is a time lapse and it is not talked about yet on this episode, Reel Dad co-host Kyle has had this 3rd son! His name is Theo and he is a beautiful boy. We are so excited to celebrate him, but his arrival will surely postpone episodes. And as of writing this, Reel Dad co-host Tim is expecting his 2nd daughter in 18 days or less! So things are getting REALLY REEL. In the meantime, enjoy the...

Welcome to The Reel Dads Podcast, Episode #66. We hope everyone is spending time loving on one another. We spent some time discussing the very important #BlackLivesMatters movement going on in America right now, so we hope you can take some good stuff away from that. And all four films being talked about on this episode all have a lot to say about black lives and how much white people need to learn. We hope this episode blesses...

Welcome to The Reel Dads Podcast, Episode #65. We apologize for the lack of consistency with episodes being released on the regular. Life has been hectic in ways that are personal, national, and global. We have definitely been enjoying films as a way to escape for a little bit whenever possible, and we hope you can find some time to do the same.

Thanks for tuning in to Reel Dads #64! You are sure to hear some "quarantine talk" on this episode since that is something that everyone of us in the world can relate to right now. Perspectives are sure to be different since Kyle lives in New York and Tim lives in North Carolina. We wish everyone the best during these strange times, and hope you can find the time to check out one of these great films - CHEERS!

Reel Dads Episode #57 is something new and different! Kyle had the great idea of switching it up a bit and recommending TV show pilots to one another! We all know how incredible TV shows are these days, so it makes total sense to try this one out. So sit back, relax, and throw on the ol' tube, because we got four great recommendations coming your way!

We hope Thanksgiving wasn't too rough - you know, being around all that family and all. We're just joking...or are we?
Anyway, enjoy the films! Tim recommends two films off of the glo...

Welcome back to The Reel Dads Podcast. Episode #55 has us getting back into the natural swing of things, so let's get to it! While Kyle does recommend to films as usual, he makes it abundantly clear which film he is looking for Tim to watch; one clue: that film brings us all the way back to episode one of the show. Tim recommends two films that fall into what tends to be popular genres on the show: documentary and the beloved '9...

Thanks for tuning in to Reel Dads #54. One week after Tim and his family return back from their trip up to New York, the two hosts share their thoughts and feelings about being able to see one another for the first time in years!
