Me and Earl and The Dying Girl & Clarence

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...

The Lobster & Emily's Wonder Lab

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.

Frank & Horrible Histories

Another week, another indie film to delight us. This time it's a Film 4 picture about a musician with a paper mache head.

It's possible, but lets ...

Okja & Barbie:Life In The Dreamhouse

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 ...

Replicas & Spirit

We sat down one evening to discuss the 2018 masterpiece, Replicas. We followed that up with a jaw dropping dissection of Spirit, Riding Free. And, if you love lists we have one about the Austrian Oak.... Join us on our maiden podcast voyage of discovery. Bask in the joy of mobile phone interference. Revel in the delight of clunky editing. Swoon as three bearded fools flummox their way through their first podcast. **Update** If you're joining us for our first episode - THANKS! We did have som...
