Midweek Mention... Bears And Bad Men

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/04/05

Peter's Bear themed week begins with a first for us as we review a silent movie. American actor, director, producer, and screenwriter Larry Semon collaborated three times with Stan Laurel, who went on to partner with some other guy that even I know the name of despite being pretty unknowledgeable about this era of cinema, and the second of their efforts was 1918's BEARS AND BAD MEN, a Hatfield-McCoy inspired farce about a feud between two neighbouring families which is complicated by the

2023/03/31

As you get older it's a fact that your memory declines. Hormones and proteins that protect and repair brain cells and stimulate neural growth slow down their production as you age, and decreased blood flow to the brain leads to changes in cognitive function. Sometimes I find myself entering a room and wondering what I'm doing there, other times I'll start a sentence on one subject before changing my trousers for a new pair next Saturday. An inevitable consequence of all this mental

Midweek Mention... Lost In Translation

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/03/29

With tepid reviews of some of our favourite movies and shows like THE SIMPSONS and BRIGHTON ROCK under our belt, Sidey feared the worst as we sat down to review a film which features his favourite ever sequence committed to celluloid, Sofia Coppola's 2003 LOST IN TRANSLATION. Bill Murray is perfectly cast as wearied movie star Bob Harris who finds a connection with unhappy college graduate and newlywed Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) when in Japan to film an advert for Suntory Whisky.

Midweek Mention... Deep Blue Sea

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/03/24

Renny Harlin's DEEP BLUE SEA (1999) is a classic sci-fi horror mixing B movie conventions with a genre savvy script and a love of JURASSIC PARK to create the best not JAWS related shark horror movie of all time. Tune in to hear Reeg's and Cris discuss this masterpiece! We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it.

Re-release.... Mid 90's

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/03/22

Things went into a total meltdown this week, which is a shame as we had lots of great fish related content to share with you all. We did manage to record something for Friday, but for now you'll have to remember the time we watched a skateboarding movie.....Have you ever wondered if Frank Sinatra was allergic to silk? Do you lie awake at night pondering whether Charlton Heston tried to talk down David Koresh by playing the voice of God? We wonder no more, all these questions and more are

Creed & Rocky and Bullwinkle

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/03/17

We're getting violent this week as we take a look at the Top 5 Punches. Fans of punch bowls, punch cards, punch clocks and pneumatic punch presses should probably steer well clear as we almost exclusively discuss the fisting kind. When MGM approached Ryan Coogler to write and direct an expansion to the Rocky universe it wasn't a foregone conclusion that it would be a hit even though both he and star Michael B. Jordan have since gone on to huge commercial success in the BLACK PANTHER

Midweek Mention... Rocky III

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/03/15

ROCKY III is a surprise smash hit for all the dads this week as we appreciate it's absurdity, excess and Cuban heel styling. Listen in to hear us discuss 80's icons, montages, our love of Eye Of The Tiger and a view of the movie from the other side of the iron curtain. We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it. If it hasn't been completely destroyed yet you can usually find us on twitter @dads_film, on Facebook Bad Dads Film Review, on email at

Inspired by the splendid new surroundings for the podcast we decided to crack open a bottle of lighter fluid and compile a list of the Top 5 TV and Movie Nightclubs, Bars, Pubs and Members Clubs. Don't miss Bad Dad Peter making an ill-advised comment about BUGSY MALONE which will ensure his name is documented on several different registers.LICORICE PIZZA (sic) is Paul Thomas Anderson's ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD-esque merging of

2023/03/08

"When gypsy grifter Matko (Bajram Severdzan) is abruptly swindled by his own partner, he is unable to pay the large debt he suddenly owes. As an alternative form of payment, Matko forces his adolescent son Zare (Florijan Ajdini) into an arranged marriage with his partner's midget sister, Afrodita (Salija Ibraimova). However, both Zare and Afrodita find the marriage objectionable, and their attempts to escape the situation lead to a series of unpredictable comic escapades."So says

Mad Max: Fury Road & Max & Ruby

2023/03/03

Watch out maxochists, Sidey and Reegs once again push things to the maximum with this week’s maxnificent themed show, starting out with a look at the Top 5 Maxes in movie and tv.MAD MAX: FURY ROAD was George Miller's triumphant 2015 return to the series which made his name and sees Tom Hardy take on the role of the eponymous protagonist who quickly finds himself mounted on the hood of a car and used as a blood bag to transfuse the irradiated blood of a bleach skinned religious zealot fuelled by

Mad Max

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/03/01

Crazy gonzo revenge exploitation movie MAD MAX was Director George Miller's 1979 debut that spawned a multi-film franchise and propelled Mel Gibson to Hollywood stardom. Inspired by real-life fuel pump shortages and outbreaks of civil disobedience during the global oil crisis in the 70's, Miller conjured up a grim vision of civilisation on the edge of apocalypse, with the fabric of society collapsing and morality correspondingly decaying. A world where murderous gangs of highway roaming

The Greatest Showman & Captain Planet and the Planeteers

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/02/24

This week’s show sees the Dads in the swanky new surroundings of Project 52, with dreamboat/heart-throb Cris replacing that other fella who used to join us sometimes. The old guy, can't remember his name. Whilst he may lack his own offspring, and let's face it one of us more than compensates for him, Cris is a fan of the fissure so we break him in roughly by compiling a list of the Top 5 Cracks in movies.THE GREATEST SHOWMAN was a 2017 musical smash hit telling the story of P.T. Barnum,

Midweek Mention... New Jack City

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/02/22

Pete returns this weeks and brings with him a fresh batch of nominations. First up is the 1991 crack epidemic story NEW JACK CITY. We all seemed to enjoy it, despite it dating pretty badly and featuring some fairly appalling Boys II Men style RnB harmony nonsense. Flavor Flav turns up to rescue the soundtrack much to everyone's relief.We were all impressed with Mr Wesley Snipes performance, but Pete labelled Ice-T's turn in this as the worst acting performance he's ever seen. Harsh!We

A slightly shorter Bad Dads this week as we ditch the kids section due to the crushing obligations of real life but we more than make up for it with Sidey and Reegs sharing a little Valentine's Day get together to discuss Sam Smith's trousers, Chinese weather balloons and our Top 5 Animated Characters. Some of our picks might surprise you, some might appal you and some might make you question our taste. But we stand by our choices, no matter how much I can't even remember what they

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

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

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

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.
