Midweek Mention... The Terminator

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/02/08

AI week starts with a look back at the 1984 James Cameron classic THE TERMINATOR. Set in a dystopian future where machines have taken over the world, and the remnants of humanity are fighting for their survival, the film follows a cyborg assassin (Arnold Schwarzenegger) sent back in time by rogue defence network Skynet in order to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), the mother of a future resistance leader and key to humanity's victory. Along the way, Sarah is protected by Kyle Reese (Michael

Life Of Pi & Rosie and Jim

2023/02/03

Sidey's nautically themed show begins with a look at the Top 5 Boats and there's so many to choose from we don't even mention Terry Nutkins on steroids lookalike Hulk Hogan's 'sub' standard tv show THUNDER IN PARADISE (see what I did there because submarines are also boats). Ang Lee's 2012 adaptation of Yann Martel's LIFE OF PI is FIGHT CLUB with a tiger though it's definitely a movie about something else too; a parable about spirituality and religion, an

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/02/01

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, or MACTFSOTW, as it prefers to be known, is a swashbuckling adventure on the high seas where the English Navy chase down and capture some Frenchies. A sure fire hit as far as the Bad Dads are concerned.The movie casts Russell Crowe as our hero, Jack Aubrey. This was just just a few years after Gladiator, so Mr Crowe is still in full on dashing hunk hero mode!This feels like a throwback to a huge Hollywood production of old and one dad is particular

I Used to be Famous & Gudetama

2023/01/27

Dan set us up with a kinda music theme this week, with the excellent Good Vibrations for the midweeker and Netflix's I USED TO BE FAMOUS for this week's main event.I Used to be Famous is the story of Vince, former boy band star, now busker in Del Boy's neck of the woods. Through a chance encounter Vince meets autistic drummer boy Stevie and his overly protective mother. Vince sees a chance to rekindle his music career by exploiting/joining forces with Stevie.

Good Vibrations

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/01/25

Kicking off a bit of a musical theme this week, Dan nominated GOOD VIBRATIONS (2012). The movie is based on the life of Terri Hooley, a record-store owner instrumental in developing Belfast's punk rock scene. The film has an excellent soundtrack, which I guess you'd expect given the subject material! David Holmes also co-wrote the soundtrack score, and I'm sure we're waxed lyrical about him in the past.A bit of background, Dan and Sidey are both vinyl nerds, so don't expect

The Great Wall & Meekah

2023/01/20

A real mongrel of a show this week starting out with the third thing you think about whenever the island of Jersey is mentioned after millionaire tax dodgers and Henry Cavill which is of course cows. Let’s hope you know your Ox from your Buffalo as we chew the filmic cud whatever that means. Zhang Yimou is a Chinese director who first caught my attention when I was going through a Jet Li phase with HERO and then again with 2005's HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS and I remember enjoying his mix of

Midweek Mention... Avengement

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/01/18

The sixth collaboration between British action film legends Jesse V. Johnson and Scott Adkins sees the actor in unfamiliar territory as antihero Cain Burgess, escaping from H.M.P. Belmarsh after the death of his mother and seeking vengeance on the gang who made him a hardened criminal in the 2019 action movie AVENGEMENT. Former stuntman Johnson together with co-writer Stu Small conjure up that rare thing; a film that doesn't portray revenge as glorious but acknowledges what a destructive and

The Banshees of Inisherin

2023/01/13

We'll get back on to our usual programming soon, but for this week we're taking a look at The Banshees of Inisherin. Serendipitous timing as this nabbed some big awards at the Golden Globes this week. I assure you that is a compete fluke, we are in no way organised enough to plan these things!Banshees sees the In Bruges can team up once again to tell the story of a friendship gone sour. Were they able to repeat the success of their previous outing? The Hollywood Foreign Press certainly

Midweek Mention... In Bruges

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/01/11

In Bruges is a movie I've heard so much about and never had anyone say a bad word in its general direction. And yet despite that that I've still never found the time to see it.This week it's another double bill, basically because this is now a Colin Farell stan account * Part one of the double bill sees Dan and Sidey touch down In Bruges and talk about how endlessly quotable this movie is. Chemistry, performance, comedy, tragedy and violence. This movie has it all. We loved it, but

Man of Steel

Man from Jersey plays the Man of Steel! Our fellow islander make it big with his star turn as Superman in Zac Snyder's take on Kal-Els origin story.In no was biased we get wax lyrical about Mr Cavill and his super buff physique. The film is not bad too! If you remember the previous version of this, you'll recall General Zod and his cronies turn up on Earth and wage war in an attempt to get Superman to give up the Kryptonian codex. This is a retelling of that story, but with much more

Midweek Mention... The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/01/04

Henry Cavill has been in the news a bit recently. First up he gunned The Witcher. Presumably as he was donning the cape again as Superman. Then all of a sudden that wasn't the case. How quickly things change. Anyhow, Mr Cavill is from sunny Jersey. Just like your Bad Dads. Feels like the time is right to take about some of his filmography.First up this week we're taking a look at the 2015 entry - The Man From U.N.C.L.E.Dan and Sidey love a bit of espionage, so hopes are high for the

Here is another entry in the "movies that did quite well, but no of the Dads no it exists" category. REAL STEEL is the story of Hugh Jackson and the tender story of the rekindling of the broken father & son relationship through their mutual love of boxing robots.Jackman plays the absolutely appalling human being Charlie Kenton. He's a down on his luck gambling ex boxer who sells his son for US$50,000 (not adjusted for inflation). Despite not displaying a single redemptive

Teeth & SpongeBob SquarePants

As we're all no doubt aware by now Peter has had some very real difficulty with his teeth. Two double root canal operations and a hefty bill were at the forefront of our thinking when coming up with ideas for this weeks show. Expect a hire car themed episode soon so we can laugh at Peter some more...Teeth are a set of hard, bony enamel-coated structures in the jaws of most vertebrates, used for biting and chewing. They also provide a great deal of inspiration for memorable movie moments as we

We thought it might be fun to laugh at Pete's dentistry related misfortune. First up for this week was MARATHON MAN. Dustin Hoffman undertakes some pretty extreme dental surgery which was all to relatable for poor Pete.Featuring some great performances from Hoffman and Olivier, this is in the sweet spot of espionage thriller movies that really do it for me.Howie didn't enjoy Hoffman's running technique. So a mixed response all in all.We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean

This weeks Midweek Mention is a glorious mishmash of ultra low-budget niche-interest film-making and Sidey trolling as we start our winter celebrations with a look at The Asylum's HOME ALONE with dogs clone, BONE ALONE (aka ALONE FOR CHRISTMAS). When Dad (David Deluise) and family mistakenly accuse talking German Shepherd Bone of almost ruining Christmas, he is packed off to the worlds worst kennel rather than taken to Grandma's house to enjoy the festivities.

Scorsese collaborator Paul Schrader penned TAXI DRIVER and that is the laziest but inevitabliest comparison for FIRST REFORMED which tells the story of Ernst Toller (Ethan Hawke), reverend, tour guide and souvenir shop salesman for the eponymous church as it approaches its 250-year reconsecration. Undergoing a spiritual crisis of his own, he is approached by expectant mother Mary (Amanda Seyfried), who asks him to talk to her husband, an eco-activist depressed because he believes it's morally

Midweek Mention... Weird: The Al Yankovic Story

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2022/12/07

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is a biographical parody film directed by Eric Appel, who co-wrote the screenplay with "Weird Al" Yankovic. The film is a satire of biopics and wildly exaggerates Yankovic's life and career as an accordionist and parody songwriter. Sidey recently watched this one and you now listen to his sales pitch!We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it.

About Time & The Nutty Boy

2022/12/02

We're not just killing time this week as we discuss the best murderers in movies, but what exactly does that mean: memorable murderers, murderers who can't remember, most kills, actors who murder a lot? Why yes, all that and more.Having attempted to tackle the rom-com with the vapid LOOK BOTH WAYS we thought we'd try again with genre heavyweight Richard Curtis's ABOUT TIME (2013). The night after a disappointing New Year’s Eve Party, unlucky in love Tim (Domnhall Gleeson) learns
