The Maltese Falcon & Henry Danger

The Bad Dads take a trip through time to review the 1941 classic, The Maltese Falcon. Only narrowly outside our remit of reviewing films released since we became dads in 2013.... Before we talk about Bogart et al, we wax lyrical about the top 5 sports movies. You know, because we're so athletic! Kids entertainment this week was in the form of Henry Danger. This one certainly evoked some strong feelings from the Dads, but was it a good feeling or not?? Finally we wrap things up with a heated d...

Swiss Army Man & Kipo and the Age of the Wonderbeasts

This week we moved the discussion to Dan's Man Cave. And we turned on all the mics. It was only a matter of time - Top Five Sex Scenes! It gets weird. Despite Dan's hatred of Daniel Radcliffe we watched Swiss Army Man. Could the Harry Potter star's portrayal of a corpse keep Dan entertained? We watched some new Netflix animation in Kipo and the Age of the Wonderbeasts, but was it any good?! We also discuss the merits of the cinema as a first date option. Naturally we had to debate the least ...

Hellboy and Apple & Onion

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.
