Joel and Chris are back and it's time to talk about one of the two films that Kurt Russell said every boat owner has on VHS: Captain Ron! And put The Thing into it.
Cult classic? Weird misstep? Secret early version of Fight Club? We dive deep into the film and maybe don't come back up for air.
Joel has a new name for the Horror genre you're going to love. Chris finds the first 5 minutes of the film more personally upsetting than most of the horror we've watched. And do you want to know how this film connects with The Simpsons, Mary Poppins and Stephen King's It? Then listen to the show!

Ahoy there, fellow Bad Dads! Today's episode of the Bad Dads Film Review is teeing off with our top picks of golf movies, sailing into a classic comedy from the 80s, and wrapping up with a bit of mischievous fun for the kids.
Top 5 Golf Movies:
Did any of these make our Top 5??
Our main feature is the 1987 comedy Overboard, starring Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. This film is a laugh-a-minute affair with Hawn as a spoiled heiress who gets amnesia and Russell as a carpenter who convinces her they're married. It's a wild ride of mistaken identity, unexpected romance, and hilarious hijinks. As dads, we appreciate the film’s take on family and the chaos that comes with it.
For the little ones, we're talking about Horrid Henry. This animated series, based on the popular books, is all about the adventures and misadventures of Henry, a kid with a knack for trouble. It's a fun show that kids love, and let's be honest, we dads can't help but chuckle at Henry’s antics too.
So, whether you're a golf enthusiast, a fan of classic 80s comedy, or looking for a show to keep the kiddos entertained, this episode has something for everyone. Tune in to Bad Dads Film Review for our usual mix of insight, humor, and dad-tastic commentary. 🏌️♂️🚤👦🎬🍿

If it surivived the edit, a story about Dan's gargantuan toe map kicks off tonights festive episode as we take a look at Netflix's THE CHRISTMAS CHRONICLES 2. Having enjoyed the family-friendly action hijinks and inspired casting of Kurt Russell in the original, expectations were high for this sequel. Whilst the pure sexiness of Russell's Marvelequse Santa continues to dazzle us, unfortunately the film takes a long time to get going and drops its emotional arc to digress on expansions to the monstrous CGI Elves and their dull mythology. Our kids seemed to all enjoy it and I had three large glasses of red wine while we watched it, so it gets a strong recommend from me. Merry Christmas for those who do and for those who don't, have a nice day anyway.

Joel and Chris are joined by Quentin Tarantino buffs Alex and Katy to discuss how to put The Thing into Death Proof, Tarantino's grimily ironic grindhouse tribute.
Joel pitches his UK version of Grindhouse, 'National Film Theatre'. Chris discusses his uncertainty about the film's foot footage. Alex likes Kurt Russell's unlikeability. And Katy reveals a secret about Stuntman Mike that many may have missed!
Also our stupidest quiz ever. And that's saying something.

Famed classic firefighting film starring the world's most Baldwin... William... directed by none other than Ron Howard! A film too good to be on our podcast and yet... here we are to discuss chickens, Bruce Hornsby, and the tops of firetrucks as spots for making babies!
DISCLAIMER: Language and Spoilers!
BACKDRAFT
dir. Ron Howard
starring: William Baldwin; Kurt Russell; Jennifer Jason Leigh
Joel and Chris are thrilled to be joined by Dan from the brilliant movie podcast Shoot the Hostage to discuss Dark Blue, an underseen, possibly underrated corrupt cop drama starring Kurt Russell.
Then they put The Thing into it. Obviously!
With a script by James Ellroy and David Ayer and directed by Ron Shelton, will this film be LA Confidential meets Training Day, or Suicide Squad meets Hollywood Homicide?
Joel thinks Scott Speedman's character is a momo, Chris thinks Ron Shelton is a very nice man, and Dan thinks David Ayer needs some career advice.

Joel and Chris are joined by Matt O'Dwyer as they try to understand the ridiculous intensity of 1989's Tango & Cash! And then put The Thing into it.
Kurt Russell and Sylvester Stallone wisecrack their way through the ultimate distillation of 1980s Buddy Cop nonsense. Parody? Sincere? Genuinely gritty cop drama? Probably not the last one.
Chris drops one of the few names he has to drop and genuinely impresses Matt. Joel has a wicky wicky wild comparison to offer. And Matt loves Brion James' bizarre cockney accent, primarily because he loves Brion James.
PLUS: An incredible quiz that somehow becomes a huge bonding experience.

How has it taken Chris and Joel this long to tackle a Steven Seagal film?
Of course, 1996's Executive Decision is really more of a Kurt Russell film, but there's plenty of Seagal talk to be had in this episode, just before they add The Thing to it in the best way possible!
Seriously, how many podcasts cover Executive Decision? Give this a listen!
Joel finds the not-so-secret connection between this film, Suicide Squad and Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. Chris somehow confuses the movie for a different one he hasn't actually seen. And they both find that John Leguizamo grows in their estimation. Or should that be... Pestimation?

Friend of show Comrade Yui returns to discuss John Carpenter's 'Escape From L.A.', his raucous and acidic sequel to 1981's 'Escape From New York'. Derided by both audiences and critics, we offer a defense of the film as a vital work of Carpenter's late period that manages to thrill as an action picture, while wryly thumbing its nose at the corrupt values of Hollywood and its own existence as a prototype for modern "legacy sequels".
We begin by talking Carpenter in the 90s, a time when he was taking his biggest swings (while also facing some of his most frustrating conflicts with studios). Then, we take a look at the fascinating tenor of the film, and how it balances the acerbic, raw energy and wit of the original film while taking aim at societal ills of 1996 America with even more directness and urgency than its predecessor. Finally, we compare the film to other great movies (and one 2021 sequel specifically) that have followed in the spirit of 'Escape From L.A.', reckoning with legacy, while also boldly subverting audience expecations in pursuit of revealing the deeper truths and authenticity of their creators.

Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish.
Chris and Joel start Season 3's Kurt Russell odyssey by discussing Escape From New York! And then putting The Thing into it.
A cult classic, and the first non-Thing John Carpenter film they've covered, featuring Russell's star-making performance as Snake Plissken, not to forget Van Cleef, Borgnine, Pleasence, and Mr. Harry Dean Stanton!
Joel goes highbrow with some Greek mythology, Chris adores Romero (the character, not the director), and they're both fascinated by the cultural significance of 'Chock Full o' Nuts'.
(Chris also likes Romero the director.)

Connor & Jon get sent to space prison or Manhattan prison as they examine the weird Euro-action b-movie Lockout, and it's definite point of inspiration Escape from New York. They examine the actual legal action that was taken against Lockout and decipher how original of an idea did Luc Besson have? Jon thinks there's a better bad movie that could have been made, Connor is annoyed at the rules of space this film breaks, and both question the place of Snake Plissken in 80s' and modern action films.
WARNING: Major spoilers for Escape from New York & Lockout, minor spoilers for Big Trouble in Little China & Predator

Listen in as we share our favorite characters and talk about our favorite scenes.

(spoiler: there is)

Joel and Chris celebrate their one-year podcast anniversary with a discussion on all they've learned from the movies of 1982!
Do we deliver an incisive definitive answer as to why The Thing flopped in that year? Maybe? Do we take a look at the 1982 films we watched and also somehow end up talking about the 2001 film Swordfish? Yes!
Chris remembers the time he was living in a horror film, Joel gets carried away with some cinema based roleplay, and they announce the subject of their next series!
