2023/06/21

Welcome back to another exciting episode of Bad Dads Film Review! We're your trusty band of Dad cinephiles, here to discuss, dissect, and occasionally disagree over the best and most interesting films the cinema world has to offer. Today, we delve into the murky world of drug cartels and moral ambiguity with Denis Villeneuve's gripping thriller, "Sicario"."Sicario", a 2015 action thriller, takes us into the heart of the US-Mexican border's brutal drug war.

The undead enjoy nothing more than eating brains so if there had been an outbreak in the man cave this week they'd be going hungry as we sit down to talk about the Top 5 Zombies. Cris isn't a fan, Reegs doesn't let his enthusiasm prevent him from flailing around on one of his favourite subjects and Sidey and Dan were also there. George A. Romero practically invented the modern concept of the cinematic zombie in 1968's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and whether they've been used

Midweek Mention... Bubba Ho-Tep

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/06/14

Obviously you've seen hundreds of movies in which a fame weary Elvis Presley didn't die and in fact switched places at the peak of his stardom with an impersonator, the real King of Rock and Roll instead winding up in a convalescence home with a cancerous lump on his penis alongside an African American John F. Kennedy, skin dyed by the C.I.A. and with portions of his brain replaced by sand, teaming up to fight the mummified remains of an Egyptian Pharaoh but BUBBA HO-TEP is the best and

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/05/31

Today, we journey back to the 18th-century Vienna with the remarkable cinematic masterpiece, "Amadeus".This 1984 film, directed by the virtuoso Milos Forman, is an opulent dramatization of the imagined rivalry between two of history's most influential composers - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri. From a screenplay penned by Peter Shaffer, based on his own stage play, Forman constructs a lush tapestry of jealousy, divine talent, and the human tragedy tied to both.We marvel

The Killing Of A Sacred Deer & Hilltop Hospital

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/05/26

Strap on your surgical mask and/or your combat gear as we kick off Operation week with a discussion of the Top 5 Operations. You’ll no doubt remember that our operation theme was inspired by us picking two movies with the word ‘operation’ in the title in a row so we thought we’d double down on all that operation action. From various kinds and sizes of operations, to operations in different places and countries, right through to examples of operations within operations, and operations within

Midweek Mention... Black Hawk Down

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/05/24

Ridley Scott's terrific depiction of the events of the Battle of Mogadishu kicks off Operations week as we watch 2001's BLACK HAWK DOWN. I thought I was being so clever picking this, with the disastrous events of Operation Gothic Serpent in which US troops extracted General Mohamed Farrah Aidid from the Somali capital at a terrible human cost providing the backdrop to a memorable scene of impromptu battlefield femoral artery surgery. If I'd patted myself on the back any harder at the

Operation Finale & Carmen Sandiego

2023/05/19

Argentina week kicks off with us getting raw as we discuss the Top 5 Movie steaks. Whether they're used as symbols of the choice to willingly subjugate yourself to an artificial reality like they are in THE MATRIX, the manifestation of your burgeoning animal instincts as in MADAGASCAR or even doing something really odd with them like eating them as they do in GOODFELLAS, the well-seasoned Dads have probably got you covered. OPERATION FINALE is the incredible story of the capture and extraction

Midweek Mention...Argentina, 1985

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/05/17

Gripping legal procedural ARGENTINA, 1985 continues the Dads education in the South American countries cinema following our earlier viewing of THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES and this shares some similarities with that dazzling crime drama not least of which is star Ricardo Darin. Public prosecutor Julio César Strassera (Darin) reluctantly finds himself making the government's case against the former leaders of the military junta for crimes against humanity, as Argentina's nascent democratic

Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre & Bravestarr

2023/05/12

Sometimes the Top 5 section of the show supports the theme of a particular week, sometimes it’s used to explore a specific aspect of or contribution to cinema and other times it is the consequence of the returning Dan's failure to understand a joke at his expense. We open this week with a chat about the Top 5 Eagles. Who knows exactly how Sidey will cobble together something out of our ramblings about OPERATION FORTUNE: RUSE DE GUERRE, a title so forgettable it immediately induces retrograde

Midweek Mention... Children of Men

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/05/10

CHILDREN OF MEN (2006) is Director Alfonso Cuarón’s gloomy sci-fi masterpiece set 18 years after all women have suddenly and inexplicably become infertile. Whilst the rest of the planet is shaken by the death of the youngest person on Earth, Theo (Clive Owen) finds himself reluctantly drawn into escorting Kee (Claire-Hope Ashitey) who might be carrying humanity’s last flicker of hope through an England divided by a refugee crisis and an austere authoritarian government. Gripping and grim in equal

2023/05/05

We have an amazing special guest this week as we’re joined by Meeg who helped kickstart Bad Dads Film review over three years ago and he picks up exactly where he left off, by not watching this weeks movie. My first car was a burgundy Fiesta with about 800,000 miles on the clock and a sticker of a dog on the rear right hand side window which was impossible to remove no matter how hard I tried which was not very. I don't remember what its number plate was; Peter might suggest a bar code would

2023/05/03

Peter's Number themed week begins with his first ever viewing of Miloš Forman's highly influential and multi Oscar winning ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, a 1975 psychological drama about recidivist Randall P. McMurphy (Jack Nicholson) who thinks riding out his sentence in an Oregon State psychiatric hospital will be easier than a stretch in a prison work farm and immediately finds himself engaged in a power struggle with sadistic Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher), the seething passive

It's not hyperbole to say that this week’s kid tv section and outro is the best content from Bad Dads Film Review yet, the laughs, the thrills, the spectacular revelations! And what about that phone call from Harrison Ford? Incredible! Sadly, it's drinking week and appropriately scatter brained, we messed things up by failing to record our DEXTERS LABORATORY segment and the outro. Maybe we'll give the sociopathic scientist another go some day because Sidey and I enjoyed this and not

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/04/26

Directed by Alexander Payne from a screenplay written by himself and collaborator Jim Taylor (I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU CHUCK AND LARRY would you believe it), 2004's SIDEWAYS is a comedy about middle-age, depression and alcoholism. Miles Raymond (Paul Giamatti) is a divorced wine aficionado and unpublished writer of a terrible sounding semi-autobiographical novel who takes best friend and former television star Jack (Thomas Hayden Church) on a road trip through California wine country ahead of

Three Thousand Years of Longing & Shimmer and Shine

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/04/14

This week’s show starts with a look at the Top 5 Journeys because that word sounds a bit like genie. Yeah, that's the level we're at this week. We're big fans of George Miller around these parts so we thought we'd take a look at the Australian auteurs most recent effort, THREE THOUSAND YEARS OF LONGING (2022). 'Narratologist' Alithea (Tilda Swinton) discovers a trinket whilst on a speaking engagement in Istanbul which contains the Djinn (Idris Elba), who proceeds to

FINAL DESTINATION (2000) follows student Alex Browning (Devon Sawa) who saves the lives of himself, a teacher and several classmates after experiencing a terrifying premonition that their plane bound for Paris will explode shortly after take-off. Afterwards, as each of the survivors begins to die in appalling and unexpected ways, Alex realises that Death is coming for them anyway...When SCREAM forever altered the horror landscape in 1996, with subsequent movies forced to deal with post-modernism

Cocaine Bear & SuperTed

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/04/07

Reegs starts things off with some embarrassingly poor puns this week proving just how out of material he was as we discuss the Top 5 Bears. From Gentle Ben to The Revenant we've probably got your favourite ursine actor covered, and if not you should let us know, call us morons etc via any of our channels below but probably email and Twitter. Believe it or not but the story behind COCAINE BEAR is that it was the subject of a minor disagreement over intellectual property rights in our Bad Dads
