  • Fasten your seatbelts...I am ready for my close up!?
    Apr 27 2026

    As spring settles into Wroe Avenue, the gang really enjoyed talking about the 1950 best picture All About Eve. There was great acting with a terrific story--and most of the table had not seen this Academy Award winning picture. Many at the table were ready to fight for Sunset Boulevard's honor--but that was before they watched Bette Davis as Margo Channing. A great movie and excellent conversation tonight on Dinner with Dan. Pull up a chair and join us!

  • Is American Politics still the same as All The King's Men?
    Apr 20 2026

    The Gang enjoyed some gumbo and enjoyed discussing the political rise to power saga of 1949 Best Picture All the King's Men. Dan thoroughly enjoyed this picture that is loosely adapted on Louisiana's Huey Long--even though no one will publicly say that is what it is based on. Some of the table question the cinematic value to this picture, but none can disagree that we all weren't thoroughly entertained. After all, with a table of politicians and recovering politicos, would you expect anything less?

    Pull up a seat, had a bowl of gumbo and enjoy!

  • To Watch or Not to Watch Hamlet, it is really no question.
    Apr 13 2026

    We all did our best to get through Hamlet--and we all did it! But what a chore. Luckily we had each other's good company to discuss the 21st Oscar winning best picture 1948's Hamlet. Sir Laurence Olivier does it all and something is rotten in the State of Denmark and in this show. We discuss.

    Kate makes some great hamburgers and we enjoy a yummy spring cookout as we hear about Diya's prom and all of our past proms as well. It is good to know that Dan was almost a delinquent due to his prom antics.

    We hope you enjoy our time at the dinner table--even if we did watch Hamlet!
