Episodes

Every now and then we are fortunate to have a guest on the show. It must be nice for you all to hear from people who actually know what they're talking about! We opened our virtual doors for a visit from the very excellent Jamie Chambers. Ten years ago Jamie had an epiphany and decided to try his luck at making it in the movie business. Join us for stories about Stormtrooper costumes, Red Dwarf after parties and a visit from what sounds like Gary Oldman from True Romance! If you have some movie ...

With our finger firmly on the pulse we take a trip back to 2002 for The Bourne Identity. The movie is great. We love it so much that we veer off topic and discuss watches. Tune in to find out which brand of watch our noted horology fan Reegs doesn't approve of. Listen on in shock and awe as Sidey muses over his next potential watch purchase! There is also some discussion about the film, it's effect on the action movie genre and the behind the scene kerfuffles during its production. We love inter...

Time to squeeze in one final episode for 2020. This midweek mention is all about Sidey waxing lyrical about one of his favourite movies, Grosse Pointe Blank. This movie was released just after Sidey finished school. He often wonders how different his life would have been if he'd chosen the same career path as John Cusack in this movie... So tune and and remind yourself why this is such a great movie. Or of you've not seen it yet, please go watch it, then listen to us chat about it! We love inter...

Well we loved the first Gremlins movie, so we thought why not?! Three quarters of us revisited this one just recently. Dan couldn't be bothered, instead he was moonlighting on another podcast! We took him on a trip down memory lane to convince him this was worth another look. Find out all the reasons why this is a stone cold classic. We love interacting with our listeners, so please get in touch with us - @dads_film, on Facebook or via email to baddadsjsy@gmail.com. Or alternatively you can drop...

Nobody loves a Christmas movie more than the Bad Dads. In fact we've gone Christmas crazy this week. First up for your listening pleasure we have our belated review of the Bill Murray Xmas classic, Scrooged. Roger Ebert said this was the worst film adaptation of A Christmas Carol he had ever seen. Was he off the mark with that description? You'll have to listen to us witter on to find out... We love interacting with our listeners, so please get in touch with us - @dads_film, on Facebook or via e...

Time to go over an 80's classic, The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! We loved this years ago, but have the years been kind to it? Is the humour dated or does it still make us laugh? I know what you're thinking? Are these guys seriously going to review this old nonsense? Well, I am serious and don't call me Shirley!! We love interacting with our listeners, so please get in touch with us - @dads_film, on Facebook or via email to baddadsjsy@gmail.com. Until next we remain... Bad Dads

The Bad Dads are not universally sold on the horror genre. That is to say 75% of us won't watch them! This week Reegs makes the case for the highly rated His House. What are the chances of him actually managing to make the others man up. Not great you have to say! We love interacting with our listeners, so please get in touch with us - @dads_film, on Facebook or via email to baddadsjsy@gmail.com. Until next we remain... Bad Dads

Have you ever wondered which is the superior version of the movie Total Recall? Perhaps you find Arnold Schwarzenegger's performance in the 1990 version too understated. Maybe you felt that taking all the mutants and Mars setting gave the 2012 version a more grounded and realistic appeal... I think we all know which is the better move, but why not listen in to find out what we thought?! We love interacting with our listeners, so please get in touch with us - @dads_film, on Facebook or via email ...

Never let it be said that we exist solely to review high brow cinematic offerings! This midweek mention is all about 2017's Baywatch. Now there's a masterpiece if ever we've seen one. Turns out Dan hasn't seen this one. Reegs, Howie and Sidey give it the hard sell, but could we convince Dan to give it a whirl? Tune in to find out. Until next time, we remain... Bad Dads

We don't just watch the big blockbuster fare round at the Man Cave. Sometimes we like to delve into the cinematic history books and revisit the films of bygone days... We took an explosive trip back to 1953 to discuss the merits of The Wages of Fear. Should we file this one as one to forget, or is the an underappreciated classic. Only Dan and Reegs have the answer! Until next time, we remain... Bad Dads

Following the sad news of the passing of Sir Sean Connery we thought it would be apt to revisit an old classic. We got together to discuss the 1964 classic, and possibly never bettered, Goldfinger. Not all the Dads are entirely convinced, but Sidey does his level best to convince of of the movie's classic status. **Apologies to any sound quality aficionados, something went awry in the second half of this episode, but you can still her us in all our glory! We will return on Friday with our next f...

We had so much fun recording last week's extra episode, we went and did it again. We watched, well some of us anyway, Bloodshot. The results were surprising! Did anyone like it? Who could not enjoy the acting prowess of Vin Diesel? Couple that with some incredible state of the art CGI and you've got yourself a winning formula. Tune in and let us know of any midweek masterpiece contenders. Until then, we remain Bad Dads

No one asked us for additional material, but we did it anyway! We've started looking back at some films that have fallen though the cracks. Maybe you missed them the first time round. Perhaps they have improved with age. Or perhaps you simply forgot all about them. We're calling these our Forgotten Gems... First up for a critical reappraisal is the 1999 remake of The Thomas Crown Affair. Sidey is convinced this is an under appreciated classic. Is he correct? Yes. Tune in and let us know of any o...

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 to ar...

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 custom...

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...

All aboard the Disney bandwagon!! Just like everyone else we've been to see Frozen 2 at the local multiplex. So don't worry about formulating your own opinion, just listen to ours! Join us for a sweary discussion about the Top 5 Disney movies. Paddle through the fountain of our Disney knowledge as Sidey turns quiz-master for our first ever quiz. Loyal listeners will be "rewarded" with a musical treat from a very, very special guest!

The Bad Dads travelling showcase met up once more to chat nonsense. This week we took an adrenaline fuelled stroll through the 2013 Ron Howard movie, Rush. Then it was a quick paddle through shark infested waters to discuss the merits of H2O: Mermaids Adventure. We also made a list of Scorsese movies. Feel free to argue with us on social media......

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 some te...
