Dad Movies

Sit down, son. I want to tell you something.

When you get older, your tastes begin to change, and you might find yourself seeking out movies with violence or about brotherhood. This is the natural change most men go through. We need movies about male relationships so that we can process our real life male relationships without verbally acknowledging our complex male relationships.

You’ll understand when you’re older.

Gain access to our Grunt Work: Nights episodes for as little as $1/mo. over on our Patreon!

About Grunt Work
Grunt Work is a comedy podcast where each week we cover an episode of the TV show ‘Home Improvement’.

But it’s so much more than that; it’s an examination of masculinity, a time capsule, and “metaphor for how we live[d] in the 90s”. Often, it’s a descent into madness.

Is Grunt Work for You?
We recommend our show for listeners who enjoy comedic takes on pop culture, often veering into the obscure and highfalutin; the perfect blend of stupidity and wit.

You may enjoy Grunt Work if you enjoy:

  • Mystery Science Theater 3000
  • The Flop House
  • Judge John Hodgeman
  • The Golden Guys
  • The Greatest Generation
  • Frasier and/or Cheers
  • Making Flippy Floppy
  • Birdemic: Shock and Terror
