Welcome to Bad Dad Rad Dad, where Kylie and Elliott talk about the movies they watch each week while searching for better cinematic dads. In this week of first-time classics, they experience a Criterion Channel failure, finally see the "best" movie of all time, discuss why they approach movies from an emotional rather than intellectual lens, and honour the radical queerness and alternative masculinity of Pee-wee Herman. They also ask the question: are you an Evil Dead kinda guy or a Return of the Living Dead kinda guy?

(Psst. Stay to the very end to hear Elliott's Pee-wee laugh.)

This week’s movies are: Woman in the Dunes (1964), Sorcerer (1977), The Return of the Living Dead (1985), Citizen Kane (1941), Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985), and Shortcomings (2023).

Welcome to Bad Dad Rad Dad, where Kylie and Elliott participate in a cinematic event of a century: Barbenheimer. With permission from their social poll, there are light spoilers. Along the way, they think about their own histories with Barbie, enter into the complex beauty of paradox, and ponder the impact of emotional proximity and distance in film. Whether you're Barbie or Oppenheimer or both or neither, they invite you to allow film and its discussions to be a space of listening, reflecting, and extending.

This week’s movies are: Barbie (2023) and Oppenheimer (2023).
