Sometimes - maybe most of the time? - we don't fully appreciate our Dads until we've had a chance to reflect on them. Their tiny brilliances, their hidden diamond facets behind their seemingly-workaday veneer...these can sometimes go unremarked upon until one day you look up and realize OH SHIT MY DAD IS THE BEST COMEDY OF THE 80S. 

Am I conflating Dads and MIDNIGHT RUN? Possibly. But with so many Dads to choose from (DeNiro's scruffy-but-noble Dad, Grodin's manipulative-but-noble Dad, Ashton's comically inept Dad, Kotto's perpetually frustrated Dad, Farina's don't-ask-what-I-do-for-a-living Dad, among others...), can you blame me? 

Sit down, have a cream soda or something, and join the Dads as we try to get this podcast to L.A. before midnight - it's Martin Brest's masterpiece MIDNIGHT RUN!
