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!

This week, we're [insert sports pun] into sports movies with MAJOR LEAGUE. The movie just had its thirtieth anniversary. So, one, I'm getting old. And two, it's a fun film to ease Claire in the sports movies genres. We get into baseball superstitions and the non-creepy way to reconnect with old friends.

This week, #OperationDanteDive comes to a close with SMALL SOLDIERS. I'm excited to say this is a Claire-requested title. She found out that it was a Dante film and asked to include it in the line-up. We dig into the pursuit of money over mastery of craft and that weird 90s trend of parents just assuming their kids are on drugs for any little reason. Like bloodshot eyes or tales of toy soldiers using power tools to do murder.

Welcome back! This week, #OperationHanksify continues with the 1986 classic: THE MONEY PIT! This is pretty choice Hanks Pratfall territory. Besides, home renovation shows are a staple of family entertainment in our household. And it's a really fun metaphor for working through relationship problems. There're about, oh, say two weeks of conversation topics here.

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!
