Our new limited series with co-hosts Abe Epperson and David Bell digs deep into the internet meme of the “dad movie.” We can all probably name a dad movie, but can we isolate the tropes that really make this a bona fide film genre? Let’s find out!

@Chris, yes I think this matters a lot. This is the first Inside Dads that I think misses the Dad mark because they ignore this. Also, they seemed to interpret the movie only from the perspective that war movies should be anti-war (ie the critique of nobody learns anything here, etc). I would point out that many 'Dad' war films are actually very pro-war. It's the rah-rah of the team winning the fight. Same as the rah-rah of a Dad sports film (like, say, Major League).
