Busy Dads Do Sci-Fi

"I love chaos!"

--Kevin

Kevin and George talk about the movie that the entire planet has seen twice. The culmination of 18 movies and 10 years of movie making and it, SOME HOW, did not manage to let George (a dedicated Marvel fanboy) down in the slightest.

Come and listen to find out how this movie was JUST LIKE Kevin's 8 year old son's birthday party All this AND MORE as the Busy Dads take on AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR!

"...shorter."

--Kevin

In this episode we take another look at Neil Blomkamp's Oats Studios and their new three part short series, Adam.

What did it do for us? What could it do for you? How does one tell a vast story in such a tiny amount of time? Why are some better than others?

We answer absolutely none of those questions and, instead, just make fun of each other for most of the episode. However, it's still a good time. Check us out.

"That doesn't sound right. That sounds negative."

"It sounds fecal."

How can one movie make George go from crying during the viewing to throwing a keyboard at Kevin while discussing it the next day? How can the same movie have Kevin pontificating about the mortality of the Cyclops in the Odyssey and also begrudging Jared Leto for not looking homeless enough? How can one movie elicit such different responses from two ENTIRELY RATIONAL (I know) people!?! How?!?

This is the paradox of the movie MR. NOBODY. Come and listen as the Busy Dads try and make sense out of the "unable to make sense-able".

This time BUSY DADDIES Kevin & George walk through the quiet cult film MAN FROM EARTH. Kevin discusses the vast differences between sci-fi authors Yoss and Richard K. Morgan. George lavishes praise upon the podcast WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE and how it reminds him of some of his favorite, humor filled, Sci-Fi works. We come full circle back to MAN FROM EARTH in a breakdown of laughter and celebration of the shittyness of that movies ending. Hope you enjoy.

"If you just wanna hear the Altered Carbon part of the podcast, skip to 33 minutes 14 seconds."

--George

Don't worry. We certainly don't go out on a high note. As George and Kevin attempt to remove some potty humor from the show, we visit the cult film JOHN DIES AT THE END. Which, yes, was fantastic and we both loved.

So, we also talk about the shit that was the Netflix series ALTERED CARBON. Kevin's hopes of a decent adaptation are dashed and George revels in the idea of what could have been.

Join us!!!

"Is this a documentary?"

--Kevin

Guillermo Del Toro has served us up the perfect mix of Swamp Thing and Amelie that we've all been waiting for. With a combo like that how could you possibly go wrong? Well, according to one of us you cannot and according to another one of us it just doesn't matter.

Join us for the masterpiece that is our low-level aggression at each other over THE SHAPE OF WATER. Enjoy and keep coming back.

"Listener drive."

--George

The Busy Dads jump into the vast world created by novelist Tim Powers in his 1997 fantasy/sci-fi/period/action/time-travel epic THE ANUBIS GATES.

Ever wonder if you can outrun a 15 foot tall magic clown in 19th Century London? Well, you can't.

Come and join us for the ride.

"Is BLACK MIRROR the visual answer to everything that I critiqued about BRIGHT?"

--Kevin

Everyone's darling dystopian Sci-Fi series is back, but this time there's a bit of a twist. We start off the season on a bright palette homage to original Star Trek? Say what?!

Join the Busy Dads as we discuss the beginning of the fourth season of Black Mirror. Take the ride with us and let us know what you think.
