Welcome back to the Bad Dads Film Review! Today, we’re creeping into the world of ghosts and awful sequels as we discuss Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. The Spengler family returns to the famous firehouse headquarters, where the original Ghostbusters have been busy creating a high-tech ghost-hunting lab. However, their peac...

Welcome back to another whimsical episode of Bad Dads Film Review! Today, we're stepping out of our usual cinematic realms and diving into the charmingly peculiar world of Andy the Talking Hedgehog. Andy the Talking Hedgehog is one of those movies that make you wonder about the endless possibilities of family film-making. Released in 2018, this film introduces us to the titular character, Andy, a hedgehog who, much to everyone's surprise, can talk! In this family adventure, we follow the stor...

Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review, where today we're swapping our usual film fare for some holiday hilarity with the raucous comedy, Office Christmas Party. Office Christmas Party, directed by Josh Gordon and Will Speck, turns the dial up on the traditional holiday get-together. The film captures the essence of every office party you've ever been to – and then takes it to a whole new, uproarious level. It's set in a tech company that decides to throw the ultimate Christmas bash in a desperate...

If it surivived the edit, a story about Dan's gargantuan toe map kicks off tonights festive episode as we take a look at Netflix's THE CHRISTMAS CHRONICLES 2. Having enjoyed the family-friendly action hijinks and inspired casting of Kurt Russell in the original, expectations were high for this sequel. Whilst the pure sexiness of Russell's Marvelequse Santa continues to dazzle us, unfortunately the film takes a long time to get going and drops its emotional arc to digress on expansions to the mon...

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, vision...

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 histor...

1990 saw the release of the bewilderingly popular HOME ALONE. This movie was so successful that it holds the Guinness World Record for box office takings for a comedy. Sidey especially finds that statistic hard to stomach given his powerful distain for this film. We all know the story... Hideous family leave hideous child behind, while hideous burglars try to pillage the family silver. I'd have preferred if the story had more of an unsolved child murder take, but that's just me. We love to hea...

With the Dads decimated by a combination of birthdays, studying and paddle board salesman conventions it's left to Peter and Sidey to bring us the epic conclusion to the strong Puppet theme which has taken over this week’s show. Starting with the Top 5 Puppets, naturally, the guys are on hand to discuss some rarely featured films and tv. Listen in, or don't, there's no strings attached and it's all very heart felt. Sorry. All you have to do to emotionally reconcile with your son is saw your own...

Of course, it seems obvious now to reimagine the iconic video game characters for 1993's SUPER MARIO BROS. movie as being captives in an alternate dimension steampunk police state where people evolved from dinosaurs, which has been infected by a sentient testicle fungus and opponents of the fascist regime are de-evolved into barely conscious lumbering abominations but it took the largely untried husband and wife team Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel, writers for MAX HEADROOM, to bring this creati...
