With the Bad Dads on the brink of implosion and Dan utterly oblivious the best way to lighten up the mood is for a quick trip to that happiest of places: the graveyard. Not for sex but for the Top 5 Movie Graves and whilst it might seem a bit gruesome at first we hope we manage to generate as many laughs as we do tears. Which is to say, probably none of either.
I,TONYA is a movie that we had all wanted to see but somehow managed to skip, making this 2017 biographical drama of infamous tabloid villainess Tonya Harding perfect fodder for a podcast where people catch up on movies they missed for various reasons. Abused by the people who are supposed to love and protect her and ostracised from the snobbish figure skating elite, Margot Robbie shines as the lead supported brilliantly by Allison Janney as Harding's mother LaVona and The Winter Soldier Sebastian Stan as her nasty husband Jeff. Adding nuance and comedy to an otherwise ignominious tale, director Craig Gillespie uses invention and wit to bring this story to life.
Oh god, another Netflix tween soap opera. This one revolves around 15 year old figure skater (behold the effort we put into this) Kayla, whose family moved from Canada to England to play ice skating for West Ham or something. This one received surprisingly mixed reviews, with some of the dads enjoying the mystery surrounding the enigmatic player number 67 who joins Kayla for a nighttime slip and slide and other dads lamenting the torturous high school angst, hideous sense of entitlement and 34 minute running time of this bland series opener. Tune in to find out which of the characters we thought might have appeared in pornography.
