As a father to two daughters, I applaud the concept of a podcast of film fan dad’s getting together to share their love of film! I can completely empathise with those ‘lost years’ and not being able to go to the cinema etc and watch films so this hits home for me. Great range of films discussed. Great pod! 👌
I found this and lolled loads! I recommend this now to friends who love film too. Was really funny and interesting the bad dads have a way with words!
They don’t know what they’re doing, but that’s half the fun. Great recommendations for what to watch
Enjoyed every second I have listened to thus far! I loved their Top 5 and just their vibe in conversation! Having sons it’s great to have some adult time review followed by good recommendations and reviews on shows for the kids! I like how they know what’s coming next and tell you where to find the show on which streaming device! Definitely should listen and subscribe!
Been having an absolute blast listening to Bad Dads. Great concept of being dads and trying to catch up on everything they missed, puts a nice twist on being a movie buff. Their Top 5 segment is a personal favorite.

Episodes typically pair two films or TV picks per session, mixing blunt opinions with personal anecdotes about juggling cinema cravings with family life. The hosts bring warmth, banter, and candid takes on everything from classic crime dramas to kid-friendly fare, often weaving in pop-culture tangents and guest spot banter. A standout angle is the parental perspective—reviewing content they missed in the pre-kid days and the kid-centric media they now endure—delivered with humor and camaraderie that fans often cite as the show's biggest draw. Potential listeners will likely enjoy easygoing, relatable conver... more
