Parenting while watching movies feels like a minefield. Bill's challenge is how to introduce his 10-year-old daughter Claire, at her own request, to more complex entertainment than Saturday morning cartoons. So, they are going on an adventure to expand her cinematic horizons. Each episode, they'll watch a movie and then have a conversation to analyze what they saw. Listen along with your kids and let us know what they think!

Last week, we found out Claire really hasn't seen any Tom Hanks movies. So, we pivoted from #OperationDanteDive to #OperationHanksify with Penny Marshall's 1988 masterpiece BIG! Claire is the perfect age for this film and her commentary does not disappoint. This chat was an absolute joy for me as a parent. Check it out!

Two weeks ago we checked out INNERSPACE. Then we took a break to take on the MCU's latest installment, CAPTAIN MARVEL (it was great!). We're back onto Joe Dante with his merciless takedown of the aimless paranoia of suburban life: THE 'BURBS! Claire reveals to me for the first time the history of police activity on our block and what to do in case of Finger Guns at school. You never can tell where a suburban door is going to take you!

Higher, faster, further! Back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe! Claire is well-versed in her comic books. But, you know what? Since Wonder Woman, she hasn't had a chance to watch a comic book movie dedicated to a woman's story. It's amazing how differently she grabs ahold of Captain Marvel compared to her thoughts on Blade. Tune in to hear for yourself!

This week, we're onto Joe Dante's INNERSPACE! This won't be Claire's first Dante film and it's very exciting to share this great flick with her. She nails the relationship dynamic between Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid immediately: that guy, like many guys, is super self-absorbed! Check it out!
