We love money at Bad Dads, almost as much as we love a good old-fashioned armed robbery so we were very excited to discuss this weeks Top 5 Memorable Movie Bank Jobs. With elaborate heists and capers firmly off the table for discussion but no universal agreement on what that really means it's a fascinating and often riveting discussion. And I mean 'riveting' as in it is almost like the exact sensation of experiencing metal being banged into yet more metal. When a wealthy crime novelist apparent...

Have you guys heard about this thing called the internet? Well now we have too and having decided to take up residence there , you can experience more of our mediocre content at www.baddadsfilm.com - check it out! Whether it’s born of passion or a promise of death there’s nothing quite like a kiss in a scene to set our collective tongues wagging, as this week we discuss the Top 5 Memorable Movie Kisses. Perhaps your favourite snog made the list? After promising that we’d finished our seasonal ...

What are some good movies not set on planet Earth? That was the starting point for this weeks Top 5 as we discuss those films that didn't take place on the third planet from the sun. Predictably science fiction and fantasy movies reign supreme here as we gather some of the best movies in the cosmos, and of course there's a few jokes, although just like Halley's comet , some went right over our heads. This weeks movie review is the 2012 Wes Anderson coming-of-age drama Moonrise Kingdom. Anderson...

It was a tumultuous week in politics; forget Joe Biden's dramatic victory over some guy whose name I can't recall and cast your vote for the Bad Dads Top 5 Memorable Movie Politicians. There's nothing rigged about this election as we veer from fascinating portrayals of real life political figures to ridiculous comic caricatures - see if you can spot which is which. This weeks movie review was the 2015 Sundance Film Festival darling Me & Earl & The Dying Girl. Jesse Andrews adapts his novel of t...

A convincing accent can be a powerful tool in an actors arsenal; on the other hand a terrible one can make headlines for all the wrong reasons. Join us this week as we discuss the Top 5 Memorable Movie Accents - maybe they are awful, maybe they are amazing or perhaps they are just so distinctive it's hard to imagine a role without them. You'll also get the benefit of some truly awful impressions as we do our best to imitate our choices. This weeks main feature is Dan Gillroy's 2014 thriller, Ni...

Grab your bunsen burner, put on your lab coat and protective goggles and get ready to experiment as we kick off the show with our Top 5 movie scientists. There's real chemistry between the dads as we sort the prized physicists from the bonkers biologists. You lucky people! This weeks movie review is the new Netflix release Enola Holmes, starring Millie Bobby Brown and Jersey's finest, Henry Cavill. It's the youngest Holmes's turn in the spotlight as she hunts for her mother who has mysteriously...

The stench of fear is palpable since it's Howie's turn to nominate. It's fair to say his track record is patchy at best so will this week be more Mid-90's than Brighton Rock? For the sake of all our sanity let's hope so. He starts us off with a Top 5 about comedic sidekicks and it soon becomes clear that not all of the dads understand that there is a difference between a sidekick and a supporting actor. Fortunately we're a tolerant bunch and let this minor faux-pas pass with barely a sarcastic ...

This weeks episode begins with what we universally agreed was our worst ever Top 5 - the best jokes told in movies. Seems like it would be easy wouldn't it? Well if you like to hear poorly told puns and ghastly gags then this is definitely the pod for you. Our main feature was Mark Jenkin's 2019 movie Bait. Filmed entirely in monochrome using a clockwork camera, this drama about a fisherman struggling to make a living amidst the destruction of the local culture by gentrification is unlike anyth...

The glorious retreat of the man cave is once again the resting place for the Bad Dads for another round of movie and kids tv show reviews. This week has you barking up the right tree with the paw-fect top 5 movie dogs. The Dads unleash their pedigree with a selection of the most memorable canines ever to grace the silver screen. Will your favorite make the cut? And if not, will you fur-give us? This weeks movie review is Steven Soderbergh's 2013 HBO biopic of Liberace, Behind The Candalabra. Di...

Hi everyone and thanks for tuning in. We start this weeks episode with quotes from Federico Fellini as we seek out and consider the truth of the artistic experience. It's not long before Reegs is gaslighting Howie though so don't worry that we have gone all highbrow and intellectual on you. I'm sure you were very worried about that. Our top 5 this week is about movie cameos and after 45 minutes of talking around the subject we still couldn't agree what a cameo actually was. Does the actor need...

This week the Dad's take on a challenge from legendary producer and Bad Dads Film Review music creator, Kraymon (@Kraymon) to name their top 5 movie samples used in songs. Combining two of our passions, music and film, this proved to be a real treat for us. Not as much of a treat as Howie's pronunciation of a certain english Big Beat band formed in the 90's however. Our main feature is the 2013 British–American drama Locke. Written and directed by Steven Knight and starring Tom Hardy, this sing...

The sweltering heat of the man cave has the Bad Dads sweating in places we'd rather not mention as we start this weeks session with a Top 5 about Smashed Windows. Was this everything it's cracked up to be? Was it a pane for us to compile? Will my Dad jokes get any worse? So many questions, and like glass coffins, remains to be seen. Our main feature this week is the 2017 Australian post apocalyptic horror/drama Cargo, directed by Ben Howling and Yolanda Ramke. Available on Netflix now, this mov...

We have a very special guest this week: Peter Andre! Okay it's not the muscle-bound late 90's antipodean crooner but it is our very own Peter Andre who joins us to help compile this weeks Top 5, about elevators. Will it be an uplifting experience or will it be like having sex with a donkey in a lift - wrong on so many levels. Next we check out a Spike Lee joint; the incredible true story of Ron Stallworth, a black man who infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan. We discuss the movie, how it made us feel ...

Peter Andre dropped by for a chat this week. Which was nice. We made a list of our favourite time travel movies. We kinda cheated this week too, you'll have to tune in to find out how. Reegs nominated another horror film for us to watch. Peter and Dan were thrilled by the prospect of watching a movie from behind the sofa! Was it scary though? Was it even a horror? The real horror this week was the kids TV nomination - Winx Club. This was truly something to behold. Do you think we'd recommend ...

Double Dora fun and frolics! The week we went all in on Dora related televisual entertainment. Before all that though, we kicked off our Action Movie Star Elimination Battle Royale Fight to the Death First Round, or AMSEBRFTTDFR for short. Thirty two of the biggest movie stars in the world competing, one shall stand, the rest will fall. Would there be any shocks in the first round? You'll need to listen in to find out! Then we immerse ourselves in the world of Dora. There are some very illum...

As lock-down fever catches up with us, we once again had a virtual meetup to discuss all things movies and kids TV. Top 5 topic of discussion this week was worst movie children. This one certainly had Dan stumped! The movie this week was nominated by James Ward Byrkit, director of Coherence. He very kindly nominated I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore. It's a real pain to type that title, just so you know. Also nominated by Mr JWB was our kids entertainment, Octonauts. JWB's son is a b...

Although the wretched virus continues to trap us all at home, we've been able to continue chatting via the wonders of technology. So this week we had a digital gathering to discuss the merits of Defiance. It's safe the say the there were mixed feelings about this one! Due to overwhelming requests from absolutely nobody we pulled together of list of the best religious movies. Just call us the God Squad. This week we finally got round to watching a kids movie for a change. The Secret Life of Pe...

It seems people are desperate for our new episode now that we're all stuck in isolation. Fortunately we have been able to record whilst in our isolation chambers and we're releasing the episode as early as we can. So here it is for your listening pleasure! First up its a family friendly vibe as we discuss the best PG, or family, movies. Get ready for a nostalgia fest with a few left-field choices thrown in for good measure. Dan bravely nominated one of his absolute favourites, Withnail & I. Ca...

With all the miserable news coverage we have decided to lighten things up a bit. We compile our list of the most memorable movie deaths. There were some difficult choices to make there! The it's off to rural Sweden for a lovely folk tale of life in the countryside... Finally we take a journey to Equestria, where we endure the season 3 finale of My Little Pony. Can it stand hoof to hoof with Spirit? Listen in to find out... Get in touch to help us complete or list of movie deaths. And to argu...

No plastic dolls or giant mutant super pigs were harmed in the making of this episode! This week sees the Bad Dads in contemplative mood as we take on some heavier material with subjects such as corporate responsibility, veganism, battery farming, consumerism and materialism all discussed during our reviews of 2020 Best Picture winner Bong Joon Ho's OKJA and Netflix's BARBIE: LIFE IN THE DREAMHOUSE. We also attempt to list our top 5 Directors Debut's, thankfully Michael Bay's Bad Boys doesn't ...

Say the name, win the prize! This week it's top five bad dads time! We put our heads together to discuss the 2019 Hellboy reboot. Was it worth it? Listener suggested content followed as we watched Apple and Onion. Could it be better than Spirit? Surely not.... Then Meeg goes full troll as we chat about films that shouldn't have had a sequel. Listen in and join the discussion on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

With Anonymous Meeg struck down with Ebola, the Bad Dads were joined by a special guest. At this special time of year we sat down to discuss the greatest Christmas movies. We need your help to complete the top 5! We needed a Christmas movie for our main feature discussion, so of course we decided on Shane Black's Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.... We followed that up by watching the Madagascar Penguin's Christmas Caper. You just can't beat some extreme violence at Christmas.... Please do get in touch t...

The Bad Dads met at Anonymous Meeg's man cave to discuss the finer points of Kevin Smith's TUSK. In honour of national ninja day we discuss our top 5 Martial Arts movies, plus in a new feature we discuss the latest movie trailers and tv programmes that have grabbed our collective attention. Sadly we then subject ourselves to Mia & Me, Reegs's eldest child's favoured viewing material, following which Meeg explains just why he loves movies that have an ending. Finally, watch out for our new cus...

This weeks podcast features the 2014 Jon Favreau feelgood movie, Chef. After that we discuss merchandising behemoth and viral ear worm phenomenon, Paw Patrol, featuring an exclusive rendition of the theme tune by Kim Jong Il for some reason! A surprising contender emerges in the Top 5 Movies with a twist discussion and we finish with a diatribe from Reegs against the most evil director in Hollywood today. Feel free to argue with us on the social medias...
