75% of the Bad Dads wear glasses which it turns out is a decent representation of the general public according to The Vision Council who I've never heard of. That seems like an awful lot if you compare that to the number of characters in movies who wear spectacles; usually it's as much a personality trope as it is a wardrobe choice, eye wear bestowing nerdiness, intelligence or cunning depending upon the style of frames chosen. We're talking about the Top 5 Movie Spectacles and that means sunglasses are out which is a shock to some of the Dads. Will we have the vision to do it?
mother! is director Darren Aronofsky's 2017 anxiety-dream biblical allegory, a relentless crescendo of confusion, panic and horror and one of the most profoundly affecting films we've ever reviewed. Layers of subtext give meaning to virtually any interpretation you can think of with this film, though it's the strong environmental message which captures the attention in this incredible reinterpretation of the creation story. Unmissable though this may be it is absolutely not for the fainthearted as mother! contains some seriously shocking and taboo scenes so viewer discretion is advised.
We finish up this week with a visit to Charli's Crafty Kitchen, a YouTube Amazon Fire kids taste testing/baking show thing where the only discernible difference between this and any other version of the exact same thing is that they appear to leave all the mistakes in when they edit it. The food looks awful, the kids are atrocious and the whole thing is pointless. So basically I'm a curmudgeonly old man shouting at a cloud.
We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it. If it hasn't been completely destroyed yet you can usually find us on twitter @dads_film, on Facebook Bad Dads Film Review, on email at baddadsjsy@gmail.com or on our website baddadsfilm.com.
Until next time, we remain...
