When I was 7 years old I had a recurring nightmare for a while in which a Tyrannosaurus-Rex would grow from a single pixel on my old CRT television, slowly at first and then emerging far beyond the edge of the screen until its tremendous body broke through the ceiling. Pausing for a dreadful roar it devours me in a single mercifully quick obliteration. The television itself was a PHILIPS 27CS6895 BACH but I don't remember the movie I watched which no doubt inspired those terrifying sleepless nights. Thankfully we do remember a whole bunch of other stuff which we're going to talk about in the Top 5 Characters Which Scared You As A Kid.
Howie needs to get a room with Taika Waititi because this isn't the first time he's chosen one of his movies. Can he continue his unbeaten approval streak with 2014's vampire mockumentary What We Do In The Shadows? Stuart Rutherford's magnificently layered Stu is the star of the show in this Wellington based comedy alongside supporting characters from Jemaine Clement, Jonathan Brugh and Ben Fransham. Quirky, New Zealand based comedy has consistently tickled all of the Dads so it was a sure thing that we would all love this.
Picking a film as your kids choice is always a risky move: anything longer than 20 minutes risks derision from your fellow fathers so it was brave of Howie to proffer the Laika animation Missing Link. The incredible stop-motion techniques that create their unique and truly astounding visuals ensured they won Best Animated Feature at the 2020 Golden Globes so we settled down with our families and checked it out.
Come chat with us in the virtual world in various places. Sidey and Reegs are usually skulking around @dads_film or on Facebook and Howie runs the instagram page so it would be really cool if everyone started posting pictures of Brighton Rock to it and giving him abuse, what do you say guys, come on people you can do this etc.
We deliver this content for you and more over at baddadsfilm.com and we love doing it but we would totally sell out in a heartbeat for anyone who wants to offer us money for it and I reckon we are probably cheaper to buy than you think, it can be subtle stuff like running your ads, pimping your movies, attending your premieres as celebs. Don't make me do all the thinking.
We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it. If it hasn't been completely destroyed yet you can usually find us on twitter @dads_film, on Facebook Bad Dads Film Review, on email at baddadsjsy@gmail.com or on our website baddadsfilm.com.
Until next time, we remain...
Bad Dads
