The weekend after its release, Jordan and Brooke dive into Billy Eichner's new studio comedy. Was bad marketing the one to blame for this film's underperformance, or have the straight people taken us down once again? How soon can we get our hands on this screenplay? Who's our MVP (besides Debra Messing, obviously)? And how do we get a spot in the animatronic Hall of Bisexuals?!

Vegas Film Critic (Jeffrey K Howard) speaks to Director Michael Bonfiglio for the documentary George Carlin's American Dream. 

As impossible as it is to imagine if all you ever do is listen to his razor sharp mental gymnastics and displays of intellectual acuity on the podcast, but Bad Dad Dan can from time to time be forgetful so it wasn't completely clear to me at first whether this week’s Top 5 Ice was chosen despite having the similarly themed Snow selection by Dan himself only a few weeks back. And hopefully whilst you ruminate on that shock revelation about the reliability or otherwise of Dan's memory, it will distract you from the fact that I don't actually have a proper way to end this paragraph.
 
THE KING OF STATEN ISLAND is in some ways a very conventional Judd Apatow film: aspiring tattooist and self-medicating slacker Scott Carlin (Pete Davidson) is an acerbic 24-year-old with delayed onset adulthood. When firefighter Ray (Bill Burr) begins dating his mother (Marisa Tomei), Scott struggles to accept their relationship whilst finally being forced to confront the death of his father, also a firefighter, who died in action heroically attempting a dangerous rescue. Apatow's body of work often places male protagonists with arrested emotional development in situations of extreme life crises, but this is an unusually poignant and moving story arc, made even more authentic and real when you realise that Davidson's own fireman father died during 9/11. An honest and real, if not always likeable, depiction of someone with depression and anxiety processing real-life trauma, the movie finishes with just enough hope to feel uplifting without being corny. Excellent support from Maude Apatow and especially Bel Powley levels out what is a male-heavy cast which also features a great turn from real life former firefighter Steve Buscemi.
 
Dan picked THE LOUD HOUSE on his daughter’s recommendation, so we watched two episodes "Left in The Dark" and "Get the Message". 11-year-old Lincoln Loud is desperate to watch the live season finale of his favourite tv show about the Academy of Really Good Ghost Hunters (ARGGH) but as the only boy in a family of eleven, he'll have to come up with a way to occupy all ten sisters before he can commandeer the TV. An instantly relatable premise turns out to be a great way to introduce the siblings, with each character getting an early  chance to make an impression and some wholesome values on display as whilst the siblings fight it's clear that they respect, love and look after each other which is especially important given that the unexplainedly absent parents are almost certainly drug addicts or dead. The show has extremely strong representation which is something that we like to see with an interracial gay married couple, a trans character and a bisexual. Bit of everything really, so that's nice. Continuing the long tradition here at Bad Dads of finding out that art we like has been made by people of dubious character, writer Chris Savino was Me Too'd like so many other pieces of sh*t we have talked about on the pod. What a majestic world we live in.

This week, the guys switch gears and discuss the 2022 Judd Apatow Netflix-exclusive comedy The Bubble, starring Karen Gillan, Pedro Pasal, Leslie Mann, and Kate McKinnon. This satire features the ensemble cast of the fictional Cliff Beasts franchise who are attempting to make the 6th film of the series during the ongoing pandemic.

Hijinx, unfortunately, ensues. Listen to the guys talk about 2022's The Bubble.

We've got a love-themed episode this week, friends! We talk Charlize Theron and Brad Pitt, Kristin Cavallari and Tyler Cameron, Kate Beckinsale and Jason Mamoa, and Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson. Plus, we dive into Will Smith's 10-year Oscar ban and Amy Schumer's inappropriate Oscar joke that got cut. Finally, we talk about Rob Kardashian and Tyga calling out Blac Chyna over child support.

Special guest Cory Woodroof joins the show to review The Bubble, a new Judd Apatow satirical comedy that just hit Netflix and stars a massive cast. Karen Gillan, Keegan-Michael Key, Leslie Mann, Kate McKinnon, Pedro Pascal, David Duchovny, Fred Armisen, Maria Bakalova, and Iris Apatow. It’s a who’s who of big-name actors who made a bubble movie about the pandemic, and you can imagine how well this one went over.

Does Season 6 start (end) with a bang or a bust? Has anyone gotten hired in Hollywood because of their famous parents? And why doesn’t Urkel know the difference between those bugs? We worm our way through Season 6, Episode 25 of Family Matters.

Alex Diamond, David Kenny, and John McDaniel heard that the long-running network sitcom Family Matters ends with side character Steve Urkel going to space. And the best way to figure out how that happened - obviously - is to watch the last episode first and make our way backwards through nearly ten years of television.

Join our countdown to number one (and our slow descent into madness) in all the places you expect internet people to be:

Paul and Joe describe why it was a perfectly timed film for Mike’s life and whether this movie falls into more of a comedy or drama. The guys discuss the unbelievable depth of casting and give their thoughts on soulmates, life in Michigan and did the real life issues hurt the films perception. Elmo says you should listen to this one!

Thank you for listening!

In 1992 Ben Stiller, along with Janeane Garofolo, Bob Odenkirk, Andy Dick, Dana Gould, John F. O Donoghue, Dino Stamatopoulos & Judd Apatow initiated the acerbic meta-comedy of the 90’s with “The Ben Stiller Show” for which they were rewarded with an Emmy AFTER they were cancelled by Fox.

How is the world wrong about this show?

From Andras Jones: The world was never more wrong about this show than when it came out and still, far too few people, even those who are steeped in the comedy of the 90’s, remain unaware of it or its influence. In this epic end of year episode Bryan and I attempt to correct this oversight.
