Great podcast!

Sarah and Alex are so good together, esp when the subject has such a wide scope. I love all the many ways popular culture reflects the mood of the country and mimics the family dynamic, and these two really cover a lot of ground. Always interesting, always insightful, and always funny.

Also a great spinoff

This, like Maintenance Phase, is a great spinoff from You’re Wrong About. It’s a really cool and accessible format for discussing human development. Using popular films as the platform is [chef’s kiss]. Thank you!

Great look at my favorite films

I love their takes on my favorite movies from the 90s. Only one thing I have as a very tiny critique...they didn’t mention that Pretty Woman has a lot of parallels with Pygmalion/My Fair Lady. Vivian is like Eliza Doolittle, Edward is like Henry Higgins, and Barney is Dr Pickering. The polo match is very much like the scene at the race track in both those works.

My new favorite podcast

I re-listen to episodes of “Why Are Dads?” in the same way I re-listen to albums. I love Sarah and Alex’s rapport, and I’m so glad to have this show’s observations about fathers, writing, pop culture, and The Human Condition rattling around in my brain.

❤️😭

Great podcast. Brilliant and compassionate. As a big fan of You’re Wrong About, I’m not even mad to have Alex as my new step dad. The playlists are mad jams too.

I love this podcast

Listening to this podcast is like getting under the covers. It’s snuggly and warm. We think about interesting things and grow a little bit. We are protected and loved by Alex and Sarah. They are the daddies. The daddiest.

Why are ratings

This is one of my favorite podcasts. It’s all about dads and feelings and movies. If you like even just one of those things you should listen to this podcast. If you like none of those things: also listen to this podcast. Highly recommend. Perfect 7 out of 5 stars.

Insightful & delightful

There are so many things to love about this podcast but the genuine warmth & compassion Sarah & Alex bring to every conversation is at the top of the list. If you haven’t seen some (or most) of the movies, don’t let that stop you from listening! This podcast is, in the best way possible, film-adjacent conversations about feelings and you need it in your life.

more than movies, more than Dads - how to be in the world

This is one of my favorite podcasts - funny, insightful and philosophical. the show starts with the theme of fathers and expands to love, alienation, messages from the media we view, the human condition of being a child of a father, and and existing in the world. the hosts Sarah and Alex are incredibly smart and engaging while being down to earth, vulnerable and funny. Check it out. There’s much to love

Love

This pod knows how to make you smile by hitting that nostalgic button just right by allowing you to relive movies from your childhood/teenage years. The hosts are kindness in a bottle, and it’s impossible to not fall in love with them. Each episode is like the best film class you audited in college.

It’s about the dads we made along the way

This podcast journeys through movies (the good, the arguably bad, and ones in between) with such care, gentleness, and compassion for both the characters and the people ultimately watching the movies.

the best!

There are two women that I hold in the highest esteem and they are Sarah and Gillian Anderson. The vibe of this show is absolutely perfect- Sarah and Alex are awesome together and I 100% recommend subscribing to the Patreon- the bonus episodes are amazing too!

Thoughtful & therapeutic

Feels like a slumber party when the lights are off and we’re talking about feelings. Deeply comforting to know others think and care so much about other humans and our varied experiences. A must listen, there’s an episode or three for everyone.

Pure joy 😌❤️

Every part of this podcast is an absolute joy. I love going on a journey to notice and understand little things I may have missed in life and in cinema. Thank you for your voices and stories.

Perfect pod

I was already a huge fan of You’re Wrong About (Sarah’s other podcast that you should listen to) and have become an even bigger fan of Why Are Dads? . They are both so smart and funny and empathetic and it doesn’t hurt that they have spot on takes when it comes to cinematic/ cultural critiques. 10/10 would recommend.

Wonderful podcast!

Thank you for interviewing Eric Michael Garcia for your episode on Rain Man. As an autistic person, it was a joy to listen to your thoughts on this deeply flawed film. Thank you!

Love the analysis on this show!!

Can you guys please please please do an episode on Cats the Musical. I would LOVE to hear a Sarah-style analysis of that movie. Or Supernatural!!! It isn’t a movie, but the entire plot is Daddy issues.

Perfect blend of humor and intelligence

If you love over analyzing films through a lens of well-read, pop-culture saturated (but truly funny) film criticism—this one’s for you! Sarah Marshall, of the equally fabulous “You’re Wrong About,” shines with a quick wit and empathy for dysfunction.

My new top fave

I have no idea how to describe this to my friends but I know that I love it and I’m gonna tell them to listen because then they’ll love it too. I somehow appreciate Saw more than I ever did when i was watching the movies in theaters. Also I’m pretty sure I would listen to Sarah Marshall talk about literally anything. You are both amazing!

Why are Dad’s

I love why are dad’s. It may be my unrequited love for Sarah Marshall, but it is worth the cost of the patreon too. I love thinking more broadly about contemporary movies and Sarah and Alex give a pleasant take on many movies while discussing them in the context of dads. Also the Brad Dourif knowledge and love is reciprocated .
