Welcome to our channel! Movie Nights with Dad is a show where I (Riley) make my dad (Mark) review movies with me on the internet. Dad has years of community theater experience in and around the St. Louis area, and has always had a passion for film history and classic Hollywood. His theater background and film knowledge show up each week when we dive into the acting, the (sometimes weird) history around each film, and our takes on each movie. Old, new, famous, forgotten: we'll watch it all. Come hang out with us! New episodes every Sunday at 5pm CT on YouTube and everywhere you listen.
