We hope you are all well and enjoying the glorious weather. Perfect for heading out for a stroll and listening to a podcast.... The surviving movie stars returned for Action Movie Star Elimination Battle Royale Fight to the Death Round Two, or AMSEBRFTTDRT for short. Will Dan be able to redeem himself after last weeks debacle?! For our main feature we headed out to New Zealand for Hunt for the Wil...

Double Dora fun and frolics!  The week we went all in on Dora related televisual entertainment.  Before all that though, we kicked off our Action Movie Star Elimination Battle Royale Fight to the Death First Round, or AMSEBRFTTDFR for short. Thirty two of the biggest movie stars in the world competing, one shall stand, the rest will fall.  Would there be any shocks in the first round? You'll...

You can guarantee things are going to be weird when Howie gets to nominate. This week was no exception. The topic of conversation for the Top 5 this week was films that are embarrassing to watch with your parents. There was no shortage of embarrassing moments in this run through! Our main feature this week was a review of the 2010 remake of Brighton Rock. Howie was a big fan of the book and the 19...

Let's call this Robert Redford week.  First up we had a chat out the main man's best movies. The obvious take away from that being that we haven't seen nearly as many of his films as we thought. However, we can all do with a bit of gentle escapism during the lock-down. That's why we watched a movie about an unnamed man stranded aboard his stricken yacht. Nice and relaxing. Dan...

As lock-down fever catches up with us, we once again had a virtual meetup to discuss all things movies and kids TV. Top 5 topic of discussion this week was worst movie children. This one certainly had Dan stumped! The movie this week was nominated by James Ward Byrkit, director of Coherence. He very kindly nominated I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore. It's a real pain to type tha...

Wow! What a week this was for the Bad Dads. With Dan reeling from a lack of Easter chocolate, we managed to get in a solid amount of tv viewing. Inspired by this week's main feature, we made a list of our favourite low budget movies. Cast your minds back a fortnight, we asked you guys to vote on this week's movie nomination. Coherence was the winner and so we obliged by watching it! Not...

We're starting off this episode with some musical discussion. This weeks we select our favourite music videos. The musical theme continues as we discuss the Bruce Springsteen themed Blinded by the Light. The soundtrack is great, but can the movie match it. We struck gold this week with possibly the greatest programme ever created. Find out just how incredible Ponysitters Club is with our pass...

Although the wretched virus continues to trap us all at home, we've been able to continue chatting via the wonders of technology. So this week we had a digital gathering to discuss the merits of Defiance. It's safe the say the there were mixed feelings about this one! Due to overwhelming requests from absolutely nobody we pulled together of list of the best religious movies. Just call us...

It seems people are desperate for our new episode now that we're all stuck in isolation. Fortunately we have been able to record whilst in our isolation chambers and we're releasing the episode as early as we can. So here it is for your listening pleasure! First up its a family friendly vibe as we discuss the best PG, or family, movies. Get ready for a nostalgia fest with a few left-fiel...

With all the miserable news coverage we have decided to lighten things up a bit. We compile our list of the most memorable movie deaths. There were some difficult choices to make there! The it's off to rural Sweden for a lovely folk tale of life in the countryside... Finally we take a journey to Equestria, where we endure the season 3 finale of My Little Pony. Can it stand hoof to hoof with S...

Another week, another indie film to delight us.  This time it's a Film 4 picture about a musician with a paper mache head. Nominated because one of the Dads shares the same surname as the film's main protagonist. A good time was had by all as we discuss the best work of Mr Clint Eastwood. Not much love for Every Which Way But Loose though... There could be a shock on the cards in the kid...

Time for a trip to the Deep South for an Oscar winning racial drama. Did this really win Best Picture? None of us can remember that at all?! Anyway, hats off to Viggo Mortensen for representing the dad bod! Small mercies this week as we watched Ben & Hairy. With episodes clocking in at only 3 minutes that a sure fire win for the Bad Dads. Dan reveals his fury at the worst ever movie ending dur...

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 stron...

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...

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 an...

Time for the Bad Dads to get in touch with their feminine side. Come join us for our strangest top 5 yet. Then it's time to discuss naked men dance on stage. Dubious kids TV choice as we enjoyed the season premiere of Picard. At least one of our children watched it, so therefor it qualifies! Finally it was another trip to the Confession Booth, and this time we had the most shocking revelation...

Time for something a little more musical. We kick off this week with a discussion about the best movie soundtracks. The musical theme continues with a Dad's discussion about the awards behemoth La La Land. Anonymous Meeg was especially excited for this one... Then we watch the children's delight that is Blippi. What an experience that was. Get your dancing shoes on and have a listen. You...

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. Listen in and join the discussion on Facebook,...

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.
