UNDERCOVER GRANDPA – Decoded!

  • Summary

  • Decoding UNDERCOVER GRANDPA

    In this episode, Dan and Tom decode the 2017 spy movie, UNDERCOVER GRANDPA. This is one of our episodes that has Dan and Tom disagreeing as to whether they thought it was a good movie or not. One of them thought it was ok. The other didn’t like it at all.

    The basic plot involves a teenager named Jake Bouchard (Dylan Everett) who is smitten by a girl in his high school class. His Grandpa (James Caan) has a background in special operations and tells Jake about some of his missions. But Jake thought this was just crazy talk until his girlfriend Angie (Greta Onieogou) gets kidnapped.

    So, in this episode, we look at:

    • The plot
    • The cast
    • The treatment/positioning of old people
    • The plausibility of Grandpa’s stories
    • Could Grandpa really know Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame?
    • The Pros and Cons of the Movie
    • Aspic
    • Other movies starring older actors
    • Some tie-ins to other movies

    This movie has a star-studded cast of octogenarians, or near octogenarians, including James Caan, Louis Gossett Jr, Jessica Walter, Paul Sorvino, Lawrence Dane, and Kenneth Walsh. With this cast, and it being a spy movie, you can bet that the theme of the age of the characters is a main plot point. And, you would win that bet.
