THE KING OF KONG: A FISTFUL OF QUARTERS
Manage episode 429267972 series 3586720
Perhaps we don't touch on the dark side of Dads often enough. But ask anyone who's even been, had, or known a Dad and they'll tell you it's there. The obsessiveness, the pettiness, the gatekeeping... it's all there. Perhaps (as this podcast occasionally posits) the real merit of a Dad comes from our ability to recognize and (hopefully) evolve into a newer, more supportive form.
But does America want that for us?
This film shows us the full spectrum of Dad, from manipulative to honest, from sinister to openhearted, and from (perhaps most strikingly) from retrogressive to evolved. If you don't see yourself in this movie, you're not a Dad. But trust me: you're in there somewhere. Enjoy our first deep Dad documentary dive into Seth Gordon's 2007 THE KING OF KONG: A FISTFUL OF QUARTERS.
