Bad Dads Film Review

It takes time, money and meticulous planning to make a film but you wouldn't know it from some of the ridiculous goofs we discuss in our Top 5 Movie Continuity Errors. Some gaffs are more trivial than others but it seems like no film is safe from the perils of human error, from  Hollywood blockbuster to indie darling and everything in between. Our main feature is Guy Ritchie's 2019 Amazo...

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....

Grab your bunsen burner, put on your lab coat and protective goggles and get ready to experiment as we kick off the show with our Top 5 movie scientists. There's real chemistry between the dads as we sort the prized physicists from the bonkers biologists.  You lucky people! This weeks movie review is the new Netflix release Enola Holmes, starring Millie Bobby Brown and Jersey's finest, H...

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 i...

Huge budgets and A-list actors are just two of the things you'd be unlikely to find in Direct to Video (DTV) movies, and that's exactly the case in this weeks top 5 about movies released straight to video or streaming services. Perhaps you'll find out about some unknown classic in a subject close to Reegs's heart, or maybe more likely you'll find yourself hearing about the...

The stench of fear is palpable since it's Howie's turn to nominate. It's fair to say his track record is patchy at best so will this week be more Mid-90's than Brighton Rock? For the sake of all our sanity let's hope so. He starts us off with a Top 5 about comedic sidekicks and it soon becomes clear that not all of the dads understand that there is a difference between a s...

We were very lucky to be able to sit down with Cornish writer-director-editor Mark Jenkin , multiple BAFTA award winner and receiver of the Philip French Breakthrough Filmmaker award from the London Critics’ Circle Film to discuss his 2019 film BAIT. Mark was so generous with his time and gave us an amazing insight into the films themes and form, the labour of love that is working with physical fi...

This weeks episode begins with what we universally agreed was our worst ever Top 5 - the best jokes told in movies. Seems like it would be easy wouldn't it? Well if you like to hear poorly told puns and ghastly gags then this is definitely the pod for you. Our main feature was Mark Jenkin's 2019 movie Bait. Filmed entirely in monochrome using a clockwork camera, this drama about a fisher...

Controversy reigns at the end of this episode as one of the Dads confesses a shocking musical secret! But first we welcome Bad Dad Peter Andre as he joins us to discuss The Peanut Butter Falcon, a heartwarming buddy pic starring Zack Gottsagen and Shia LaBeouf. This movie carries extra weight for Peter as he discusses what life is like parenting a child with Down Syndrome. It's well worth tun...

The glorious retreat of the man cave is once again the resting place for the Bad Dads for another round of movie and kids tv show reviews. This week has you barking up the right tree with the paw-fect top 5 movie dogs. The Dads unleash their pedigree with a selection of the most memorable canines ever to grace the silver screen. Will your favorite make the cut? And if not, will you fur-give us? Th...

Hi everyone and thanks for tuning in. We start this weeks episode with quotes from Federico Fellini as we seek out and consider the truth of the artistic experience. It's not long before Reegs is gaslighting Howie though so don't worry that we have gone all highbrow and intellectual on you. I'm sure you were very worried about that. Our top 5 this week is about movie cameos and afte...

This week the Dad's take on a challenge from legendary producer and Bad Dads Film Review music creator, Kraymon (@Kraymon) to name their top 5 movie samples used in songs. Combining two of our passions, music and film, this proved to be a real treat for us. Not as much of a treat as Howie's pronunciation of a certain english Big Beat band formed in the 90's however. Our main feature...

The sweltering heat of the man cave has the Bad Dads sweating in places we'd rather not mention as we start this weeks session with a Top 5 about Smashed Windows. Was this everything it's cracked up to be? Was it a pane for us to compile? Will my Dad jokes get any worse? So many questions, and like glass coffins, remains to be seen. Our main feature this week is the 2017 Australian post...

In perhaps our most intellectual episode yet, the Bad Dads discuss such topics as class, Korean cinema, and consumerism. And what better place to start this cultural odyssey than the bathroom as we begin this weeks podcast with a toilet-scene themed Top 5. Urine for a treat as Peter reveals shocking secrets, Dan discusses proper bidet etiquette and Reegs confronts the other dads over a blatant lac...

Special guests are becoming a regular thing for the Bad Dads and this week is no exception as we are joined by Adam from top NFL fantasy football podcast and the first to center around charity, Sleeperwire (sleeperwire.com). We start things off with a motor vehicle top 5 which of course doesn't take too long to be derailed and go off track completely. Coming up with decent car based puns is e...

We have a very special guest this week: Peter Andre!  Okay it's not the muscle-bound late 90's antipodean crooner but it is our very own Peter Andre who joins us to help compile this weeks Top 5, about elevators. Will it be an uplifting experience or will it be like having sex with a donkey in a lift - wrong on so many levels. Next we check out a Spike Lee joint; the incredible true stor...

Brace yourself some for some very weird content in this week's top 5. We're talking about movie moral dilemmas and some of the Dads' moral compass is a bit off! For our main feature we watched The Disaster Artist. The film about the making of one of the worst movies of all time, The Room, by Tommy Wiseau. It's fair to say that Mr Wiseau has become a bit of a role model for the...

Do you have anything you need to get off your chest. So do we. It's movies that make us angry! And there's quite a few... Once we'd calmed down from all that rage, things took on a much more positive vibe as we watched the 2014 brit-com Pride. Featuring a who's who of British acting talent (and some overseas ones too) this had the look of a potential hit with the dads. Could Ho...

Everyone needs to eat and the Bad Dads are no exception, so join us in this mostly food themed episode.  Howie returns this week and serves up an amuse bouche as he regales us with tales of his anniversary night. But what does a stand up paddle board and a dutch rudder have to do with it? For hor d'oeuvres we have a smorgasbord of delicious treats in our food themed top 5. There's someth...

Peter Andre dropped by for a chat this week. Which was nice. We made a list of our favourite time travel movies. We kinda cheated this week too, you'll have to tune in to find out how. Reegs nominated another horror film for us to watch. Peter and Dan were thrilled by the prospect of watching a movie from behind the sofa! Was it scary though? Was it even a horror?  The real horror this week w...

We're all about the super sleuth this week... We were very fortunate to be asked to review this week's kids entertainment by TriCoast Entertainment. So we're pros at this game now! We watched Next Door Spy. All you have to do to find out if its any good, is listen to this episode. Easy.   To continue our detective theme we took a journey aboard the Orient Express. Not all us Dads ar...

Sometimes whilst making a podcast the stars align and everything comes together perfectly. This was so very nearly the case for us this week! We had missed making lists, so first up me discussed the best femme fatales. Have a listen and help us complete it. Our main feature this week was the 2013 Scarlett Johansson movie, Under the Skin. Not only was this a cracking movie, but we were extremely fo...

Have you ever wondered if Frank Sinatra was allergic to silk? Do you lie awake at night pondering whether Charlton Heston tried to talk down David Koresh by playing the voice of God? We wonder no more, all these questions and more are answered in this week's show! For our main feature this week it's off to downtown LA for a skateboarding fix. Howie nominated Mid90s, Jonah Hill's 201...

Join us for the conclusion of the Action Movie Star Elimination Battle Royale Fight to the Death, or AMSEBRFTTD! Only 8 battle hardened warriors remain, only one can survive, who will emerge victorious? Following on from that violent confrontation things take a much more sedate pace. For our viewing pleasure this week we're off to Paris. We watched a French movie about a quadriplegic fella an...
