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 complicated personal loss, they discuss the importance of queer stories, the potential for Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott to kiss in the movies, how title translations can lose meaningful nuance, and the unparalleled influence of an unlikely film on contemporary auteurs.

This week’s movies are: Autumn Sonata (1978), Insidious (2010), Catherine Called Birdy (2022), The Matrix (1999), Weekend At Bernie's (1989), and Happy Together (1997).
