Reel Dads

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 turn around and get better in time. Now go get your vaccine shots! And then watch all these movies we talked about

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#REELDADS

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 FOREVER, BITCHES.Tim’s Pick: - Spanish Love Songs - "Brave Faces Everyone" (2020) // Pure Noise Records Kyle’s Pick: - Dikembe - "Muck" (2020) // Skeletal Lightning
