Child Exploitation Episodes

Whether it's for planning an ambush, escaping a crime scene, staging an elaborate fight, or simply used to get from point A to point B via some solid rock, the tunnel has been reliable since it was first conceived over 4000 years ago. In movie terms though it's probably best known as a metaphor for sex, as famously used at the climax of Hitchcock's North by Northwest. This week’s Top 5 Movie Tunnels is lower on the sexiness scale than you might usually expect from us but just like an explosives ...

Two Harry Potter movie fans sit down to discuss the third instalment in the franchise with a self-confessed Potter hater and someone who didn’t even bother to watch the film. J.K. Rowling's fantasy novel series for younger readers garnered huge success in its own right before it was adapted for the big screen in 2001 with the release of the first cinematic instalment, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The third highest-grossing film series of all time with an estimated worldwide box off...

Sidey's relentless bullying campaign finally pays off as Howie dramatically quits the show! Is just one of the ways the mainstream media would have wilfully misreported the fact that our favourite shouty ginger paddle boarder has decided to take a well earned break in order to recharge his batteries. We have a surprise guest instead and whilst I won't give away who it is let's just say that he has: featured on the pod before; not directed an amazing movie; not starred in a fascinating...

From the stunningly detailed rendering of Avatar's Pandora through to the digital erasure of Arnie Hammer's testicles in Call Me By Your Name, the special and visual effects people have been bringing movie magic into the film making process for almost as long as the medium itself has existed. You probably won't find anything as magnificent as these examples in this weeks Top 5 Worst Special Effects. This weeks main feature is a darkly comic study of grief, loss and anger in writer/producer/dire...

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 ...

Here it is, the highlight of the week! Yes that's just one of the awful, loosely hair-based puns you will have to endure in this episode as we kick off the show with a Top 5 Movie Wigs conversation. There are plenty of cutting remarks as Dan's promise not to tell quite so many of his hair-larious Dad jokes turns out to be a bald faced lie. I guess he just does it for the shear hell of it all. Can our friendship be salvaged or have we reached a split end? The main feature this week is the 2015 ...

In perhaps our most intellectual episode yet, the Bad Dads discuss such topics as class, Korean cinema, and consumerism. And what better place to start this cultural odyssey than the bathroom as we begin this weeks podcast with a toilet-scene themed Top 5. Urine for a treat as Peter reveals shocking secrets, Dan discusses proper bidet etiquette and Reegs confronts the other dads over a blatant lack of personal hygiene. Oh and there's some movie chat too. This weeks main feature was the 2019 Sou...

Brace yourself some for some very weird content in this week's top 5. We're talking about movie moral dilemmas and some of the Dads' moral compass is a bit off! For our main feature we watched The Disaster Artist. The film about the making of one of the worst movies of all time, The Room, by Tommy Wiseau. It's fair to say that Mr Wiseau has become a bit of a role model for the Bad Dads! Style, talent, dubious backstory, he has it all! Our kids entertainment took us on a trip around the world. ...

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...

Wow! What a week this was for the Bad Dads. With Dan reeling from a lack of Easter chocolate, we managed to get in a solid amount of tv viewing. Inspired by this week's main feature, we made a list of our favourite low budget movies. Cast your minds back a fortnight, we asked you guys to vote on this week's movie nomination. Coherence was the winner and so we obliged by watching it! Not only will you hear what we thought, but the actual bona fide director of the movie stopped by, via LA, for...
