Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! This week’s episode packs a punch as we dive into Top 5 Juniors in Movies and TV, followed by a deep dive into the intense war thriller Warfare (2025). No kids’ TV show this week — we’re keeping it strictly grown-up.

🎯 Top 5 Juniors in Movies and TV

1. Indiana Jones Jr. (Young Indiana Jones / Indiana Jones Series)
   Before he became the famed archaeologist, we met young Indy — curious, brave, and always in the thick of danger.
2. Junior (Junior, 1994)
   Arnold Schwarzenegger as a pregnant man in this oddball comedy — a “junior” no one saw coming, proving unforgettable for its sheer weirdness.
3. Tony Junior (The Sopranos)
   Corrado “Junior” Soprano may not exactly be youthful, but his nickname and pivotal role as a cunning elder statesman in The Sopranos make him iconic.
4. Junior Healy (Problem Child series)
   The ultimate cinematic troublemaker, Junior’s pranks and chaos earned him infamy in 90s family comedy.
5. Carl’s Jr. (Idiocracy, 2006)
   Okay, this one's a bit cheeky. The fast-food chain's dystopian presence in Idiocracy remains a hilarious jab at corporate excess — and hey, it has “Jr.” right there in the name.

🎬 Main Feature: Warfare (2025)

Directed by David Michôd, Warfare is a gripping and brutal war thriller set in the near future, where military technology has escalated conflict beyond recognition. Starring Oscar Isaac, John Boyega, and Jodie Comer, the film follows a fractured unit of soldiers caught behind enemy lines after an experimental weapons system malfunctions.

The story tracks the unit’s desperate attempt to survive and navigate a world where alliances blur, drone warfare dominates, and morality is tested under fire. It’s a relentless, high-stakes tale about loyalty, survival, and the thin line between soldier and machine.

Warfare is bleak, brutal, and compelling. It’s not for the faint-hearted but rewards viewers looking for smart, unflinching war drama. Expect plenty of post-movie debate about where technology is taking modern warfare — and whether humanity can keep up.

This week’s episode is a little darker, with no kids’ show in sight. But with a mix of cinematic Juniors and hard-hitting warfare, there’s plenty for film fans to sink their teeth into. Buckle up for an intense ride.
