What this episode covers
This week on StoryDads, Eric and Micah tackle one of the silliest movies they’ve covered yet: Despicable Me. Beneath the fart jokes, Minion chaos, and nonstop slapstick, they explore why goofy humor connects so deeply with kids — and why that kind of pure fun might actually matter more than we think. Along the way they discuss Gru’s transformation from villain to father, the universal appeal of dumb humor, Looney Tunes energy, childhood wonder, and why being a hero should always start at home. It’s shorter, lighter, and more ridiculous than most StoryDads episodes… but maybe that’s exactly the point.
