⚠️ Trigger warnings: brief mentions of sexual assault, suicide, and miscarriage.

🎧 We’re back with something new! As one of the podcast producers, Yani suggested trying reactions to Reddit stories like "Am I the A**hole and similar threads.

💥 This episode features two dramatic tales—one about a staged meet-cute 💘 (a term unfamiliar to Dad 😂), and another involving a sibling feud 😤 that escalates into chaos 🔥.

👀 Join us as we unpack the drama, identify the red flags 🚩, and reflect on the twists and turns 🎢 of these captivating tales.

📚 Whether you’re here for the intrigue or just need a break from reality 🛋️, these Reddit stories promise to entertain 🎭 and astonish 🤯.

🎙️ Let’s dive in!

Spoiler Alert: We’re talking all about the movie Sinners.

🎟️ This almost became the movie night that never happened, thanks to Dad’s last-minute ticket purchase😅 We were this close to missing Sinners for another week… but we made it—and we’ve got thoughts.

In this episode, we dive into the beautiful, magnetic world of Sinners, Ryan Coogler’s latest knockout. From jaw-dropping cinematography and a 🔥 soundtrack to deep cultural themes and that very interesting mid-credits scene — we’re breaking it all down.

We get into standout performances (👋🏽 Michael B. Jordan plays two characters yall!), unexpected turns, and why Dad’s already calling this his favorite movie ever.

So pull up, press play 🎧, and hang out with us for a convo that’s part deep dive, part shenanigans, and 100% Dumb Dialogue with Dad.

Oh—and we also dropped an episode on A Different Man, so don’t miss the double feature 🎭🌀

Spoiler Alert: We discuss the movie A Different Man.

🎭 This one’s a little weird...

We’re diving into A Different Man, where identity, transformation, and uncomfortable truths take center stage. Sebastian Stan does a lot 😳 and we’re here to unpack the strange, cringey, and thought-provoking moments.

Expect deep takes, awkward laughs, and the usual chaos as we explore what it really means to reinvent yourself—and how far is too far? 🤯🌀

🍿 So grab your snack, brace yourself for some layered convo, and come hang with us as we try to make sense of this offbeat psychological ride.

You might walk away seeing yourself (and others) a little differently... or just be really confused. Either way, we got thoughts!

Oh, and this is part of a doubleheader release, the other episode that was dropped is our thoughts about the movie Sinners.

Spoiler Alert: We talk about... well, all the Hunger Games movies again, to some extent but specifically about Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. We recorded this in January so forgive outdated references.

🎬 We’re back in Panem, y’all to wrap up our commentary on the Hunger Games movies—and this time with Aurie joins us for a bit 😍

We’re diving deep into The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes—talkin’ all things Coriolanus Snow (yes, that guy 😒), the mysterious Lucy Gray 🎤🐍, and the wild world of the early Hunger Games.

Expect chaotic takes, character debates, Aurie's coughing and maybe a few “huh?” moments as we try to figure out what actually makes Snow tick 🧠💀 and where Lucy Gray really stands in all this.

🍿 So grab your snack stash, settle in, and get ready for some fun convo, fresh perspectives, and a few laughs along the way.

You might even see the Hunger Games universe a little differently by the end… or not. Either way—we got thoughts! 😆

After a long break, we’ve got so much to catch up on! 🤗 Don’t forget, you can always see what we’re up to on Threads and Instagram 👉🏿 DumbDialogueWithDadPodcast.

This time, we’re diving headfirst into the Hunger Games: Mockingjay Parts 1 & 2! Spoiler alert: Part 1? Yeah... kinda snoozy 😴 (too gloomy, not enough action). But we do...fine talking about it. Part 2 is much better.

Dad mentions Star Wars because...well, he's a bit of a Blerd (Black Nerd).

✌🏿 Hey everyone, and happy holidays—whatever you celebrate this time of year! 🎄✨

Life has been life-ing, so no new episode this week. Instead, we’re bringing you a remastered re-release of the episode about our whirlwind travel chaos from December 2022. 🌀✈️ You might remember a certain airline (we won’t name names, but y’all know who we mean) having some major issues around that time... yep, we got caught in that mess. 😤

Our travel experience included: 👉🏿 Multiple canceled flights 🚫✈️ 👉🏿 Standing in endless lines 🛑⏳ 👉🏿 Multiple rental cars 🚗💨 👉🏿 Driving over 1,200 miles in just 2 days 🛣️💪🏿 👉🏿 Disney World magic to top it all off 🏰✨

And, of course, this trip included Dad’s parents and brother, so we were extra motivated to salvage the journey. 💪🏿💼

In this episode, we also: 🎭 Dive into Aurie’s hilarious version of the Seven Dwarfs. 😵 Talk about both girls’ tired eyes playing tricks on them during the late-night drive from Palm Beach to Disney World. 🕒 At 14:38, hear the girls groan about how long it felt like we had been recording.

Big shoutout to United Airlines ✈️ for coming through in the clutch to get four exhausted people to the happiest place on Earth. 🙌🏿And another shoutout to Enterprise Car Rental 🚗 for saving the day with those rental cars!

🎄 Hey everyone, and happy holidays! 🎅🏾 We’ll be back with a new episode soon, but we’re feeling nostalgic, so here’s an oldie-but-goodie 📼 where Aurie and Dad dive into the first 3 seasons of The Walking Dead. 🧟‍♂️ Spoiler alert if you haven’t watched yet! 👀

A quick heads-up 🛎️—this episode was originally recorded back in December 2022, so if you catch something outdated (like us mentioning our old Twitter handle 🐦), just roll with it. 😉 Enjoy! 🎧
