A couple works hard to renovate their dream house and become landlords to pay for it. Unfortunately one of their tenants has plans of his own.

What We Discussed on the Podcast

On this episode of 2 Dads 1 Movie, Nic has selected the 1990 landlord thriller Pacific Heights, starring Matthew Modine, Melanie Griffith, and Michael Keaton.


Is it a great movie? It is not a great movie, but sometimes, not-great movies can make for some pretty great discussions, so come along with the 2 Dads and join in the fun conversation!


We'll cover everything the movie has to offer, including negligent landlords, breeding roaches, stripping a Porsche 911 for parts, the clear need for HIPAA, and a complete and total lack of any of the character that San Francisco is rightly known for.
