Kicking off our House of Carpenter series, we head to the far-flung future of 1997, where Manhattan is a walled-off maximum security prison and Air Force One has just gone down inside it. John Carpenter's 1981 cult classic follows his Halloween breakout by moving from horror into dystopian action, with Kurt Russell's Snake Plissken bringing a Western gunslinger's swagger, a synth score you'll be humming for days, and Isaac Hayes as the Duke of New York. It's also a showcase of low-budget ingenuity, from a real night shoot on Liberty Island to a "computer" glider sequence built with neon tape, black light, and physical models. Join Darren, Tristan, and John as they get their gliders ready and ask whether Snake still has the goods 45 years later.

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, Sidey, Dan, Reegs and Cris take aim at Kathryn Bigelow's Blue Steel, the 1990 psychological cop thriller starring Jamie Lee Curtis as rookie police officer Megan Turner, Ron Silver as Wall Street lunatic Eugene Hunt, Clancy Brown as Detective Nick Mann and Tom Sizemore as the unfortunate convenience-store robber who sets everything in motion.The episode starts where the film starts: with a gun. A very lovingly photographed gun. The dads talk about the title sequence, Brad Fiedel's industrial score, Bigelow's moody New York visuals, and Megan's disastrous first day on the job, where a justified shooting quickly becomes a professional nightmare because the weapon disappears from the crime scene. Unfortunately for Megan, the man who takes it is Eugene Hunt, a witness who becomes obsessed with both the gun and the woman who fired it.From there, Blue Steel turns into a strange mix of cop thriller, stalker movie, serial-killer melodrama and sweaty gun psychosexuality. Eugene scratches Megan's name onto bullets, kills strangers, romances her under false pretences, reveals himself far too early to be sensible, and then gaslights his way out of trouble with the help of a lawyer. Megan, meanwhile, keeps telling the truth and keeps being doubted by almost everyone around her, including the police force that supposedly brought her back in to help.The dads dig into what works and what really does not: Jamie Lee Curtis as a rookie cop nobody believes, Ron Silver going full mega-acting mode, Clancy Brown's strong hair and unexpected nudity, Tom Sizemore's brief but important appearance, the father subplot, the gender politics, the fetishised gun imagery, the rain, the smoke, the subway shootout, the hot dog stand, and the ending that suggests Megan's next enemy may be internal affairs.Verdicts are all over the place in the best Bad Dads tradition. Sidey enjoys the brisk runtime, the style and the villain. Dan gives it something like a medium-to-blue recommend, mainly for Ron Silver and the direction. Cris is still annoyed about paying £2.50 to rent it and bailing out halfway through. Reegs admires the look and the lurid energy while also noting that Megan Turner may be one of cinema's more catastrophically questionable police officers.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

It's Goro Day! This week we are going deep on the embattled, tragic, and nonetheless fascinating collaboration between Hayao Miyazaki and his fledging director son. Whatever you think of Goro's movies, you've got to admit… the story of Studio Ghibli is incomplete without him!But it's not just the rift between father and son this week. POPPY HILL is an impressive movie in its own right, and we have much to discuss. And it just so happens that fathers and sons also factor heavily into the film. Coincidence?Next week it's the penultimate (?) film of Hayao Miyazaki, THE WIND RISES (2013)!

Continuing the House of Capra, Darren, Tristan, and John dig into Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, the movie that taught a generation what a filibuster was decades before Schoolhouse Rock got near it. James Stewart is extraordinary as Jefferson Smith, but the bigger reappraisal goes to Jean Arthur's Saunders. The crew wrestles with whether this is a Stewart showcase or a genuine Capra film, where the three-act structure starts to buckle, and how much credulity a single day in Washington can carry. John comes to it fresh and has thoughts about the front half. The flaws are real. The iconic moments earned their status anyway.

Filmmaker Katie Cokinos joins Damien Swaby to reflect on a career shaped by independent cinema, personal vision and the determination required to get unconventional films made. Katie recounts beginning her career at the Southwest Alternate Media Project—better known as SWAMP—in Houston.It was there that she first encountered Richard Linklater and helped his groundbreaking film Slacker secure completion funding, reach international festivals and ultimately find distribution.She discusses the film's initially difficult reception, including a sparsely attended screening at the Berlin International Film Festival market, and the small but decisive encounters that helped it connect with the right audience.The conversation also explores Katie's transition from supporting other filmmakers to finding her own voice as a writer and director.She reflects on the influence of the French New Wave, the difficulties historically faced by women filmmakers and the experience of being overlooked on the festival circuit while pregnant.Katie takes us behind the making of Portrait of a Girl as a Young Cat and I Dream Too Much, her coming-of-age feature starring Eden Brolin, Danielle Brooks and Diane Ladd, with Richard Linklater serving as executive producer. She reveals how motherhood changed her writing practice, how the film emerged after a 15-year gap between features and how an extremely low-budget production created convincing performances without conventional rehearsal time.Damien and Katie also discuss:• Why a filmmaker's personal vision matters• Helping Slacker find its audience after an early Sundance rejection• Learning the language of cinema outside film school• The influence of Agnès Varda and the French New Wave• Writing in the margins while raising children• The Jane Austen inspiration behind I Dream Too Much• Creating chemistry between actors on a limited schedule• Shooting through three weeks of heavy snow• Using slow motion to expand emotional time• Filming on an iPhone in New York without attracting attention• Richard Linklater's support across more than three decades• The challenge of bringing audiences back to cinemas after COVID• Why Katie prefers the economy of feature films to television series• Programming films for Upstate Films• Developing The Do Right, a period mystery set in 1973 Beaumont, TexasThis is a warm and candid conversation about artistic survival, creative identity and the unpredictable journey between imagining a film and finally bringing it to the screen.LINKSLearn more about Katie Cokinos:https://www.idreamtoomuch.com/katie-cokinos Follow Katie Cokinos on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/katiecokinos/Connect with Katie on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/katie-cokinos-99180a9/I Dream Too Much — official website:https://www.idreamtoomuch.com/ Watch I Dream Too Much on Amazon Prime Video:https://www.amazon.com/Dream-Too-Much-Katie-Cokinos/dp/B0CGQJ3ZQB Katie Cokinos on FilmFreeway:https://filmfreeway.com/KatieCokinosUpstate Films:https://www.upstatefilms.org/Slacker with Katie Cokinos — Upstate Films:https://www.upstatefilms.org/slackerAustin Film Society:https://www.austinfilm.org/Southwest Alternate Media Project (SWAMP):https://www.swamp.org/Richard Linklater / Detour Filmproduction:https://www.detourfilm.com/Former Filmmaking Conversations guest and entertainment attorney Reena Sehgal is the founder of Thoolie, a platform offering independent filmmakers accessible, professionally drafted contracts and practical legal resources: https://thoolie.com/?fbclid=PAdGRleAUMIhRwZG9mAmZkaWQWUN_VLZ5O00wAG5VJwcYKLJR7IDzX22V4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDzEyNDAyNDU3NDI4NzQxNAABp8YqORNw4HfUrakr47-VQNHxfRIZjdKym2B6azcV1UcQ8_XZ-K3QtetIdYci_aem_tFWU2agJYHfjePj36n5zqA

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, the dads review Giant, the Prince Naseem Hamed biopic starring Amir El-Masry as Naz and Pierce Brosnan as legendary Sheffield trainer Brendan Ingle. It is a boxing film, a mentor-protégé story, a study of fame and arrogance, and a surprisingly knotty argument about whether loyalty, recognition and money can ever stay clean once a child prodigy becomes a multi-million-pound champion.The episode opens with Reegs still absent in French France, which means no clever intro but plenty of warnings about swears and spoilers. Dan has watched classic film noir Laura and revisited Universal Soldier for the Midweeker, Cris has been watching Pierce Brosnan in western series The Son alongside some nostalgic X-Men '97, and Sidey has been back into Barry while also sampling a Netflix serial-killer thriller involving De Niro and missing boys. There is also football, DIY, paint guns, teal walls and the sort of domestic detail that proves cinema podcasting is mostly glamour.For Top 5 Giants, the dads go suitably massive. Dan starts with The Iron Giant and the animated BFG, while Cris brings in Romanian basketball player Gheorghe Mureșan via Billy Crystal's My Giant, then stretches the theme through the MonsterVerse, The Odyssey, Leprechaun 4: In Space and Rush Hour 3. Sidey nominates Fezzik from The Princess Bride, They Might Be Giants, The The's “Giant”, Game of Thrones' actual giants and finally the Giant from Twin Peaks, giving him another chance to declare David Lynch's nightmare television more or less untouchable. The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, Riding Giants and several real-life giants also get thrown into the oversized mix.The main review focuses on Giant as a story about two men rather than one. Prince Naseem is obviously the famous fighter, but the film arguably belongs just as much to Brendan Ingle, whose Sheffield gym gives young lads discipline, community and a way to redirect anger. The dads talk through the early scenes: Brendan spotting young Naz's footwork, taking him into the gym, making new boys sing before they fight, teaching movement before punching, and helping him deal with racist abuse in an environment where National Front attitudes are never far from the surface.As Naz rises, the film follows the familiar sports-biopic path of talent, training, showmanship and success, but the more interesting material comes from the relationship slowly cracking. Brendan nurtures Naz's cockiness because it fuels the fighter, but that same confidence becomes harder to control once promoters, sponsorships, family influence and huge money arrive. Frank Warren sees the commercial value of Naz's brash persona, the family starts questioning Brendan's cut, and the childhood handshake deal over 25% becomes the moral fault line of the film.Sidey and Dan both find that argument more complicated than the film first appears to suggest. Brendan clearly changes Naz's life, puts the money back into the gym, builds champions and cares deeply about the boy he trained from childhood. At the same time, agreeing a huge percentage with a 12-year-old is uncomfortable, however much both of them believed in the dream. The imagined reconciliation scene near the end gives the film its strongest emotional beat, because it lets Naz say he was a child and Brendan say he gave everything. The sting is that, in real life, they never properly reconciled.The performances get the strongest praise. Pierce Brosnan is very good as Brendan Ingle, and the various actors playing Naseem — especially Amir El-Masry as the adult Naz — capture the movement, swagger and showboating well. The fight scenes are convincing, the Sheffield material gives the story texture, and the film does enough with a modest-feeling British production to stay watchable throughout.The verdict is positive but measured. Sidey thinks it is pretty paint-by-numbers and admits he was never a huge fan of Naseem's arrogance, though he respects the story and really likes the performances. Dan enjoys the sports-movie structure and the tragic mentor-student angle, but does not think the film quite lands a knockout blow. Cris had not seen it in time for recording, but the discussion leaves the film sounding like one he would still watch. Overall, the dads call it a moderate to strong recommend: interesting, well acted and easy to watch, if not quite a heavyweight classic.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

House of Capra opens with the one that started it all. Frank Capra's 1934 road comedy put a runaway heiress and a broke reporter on a cross-country bus and accidentally wrote the blueprint every romantic comedy has borrowed from since. Clark Gable pulls your eye whether the scene asks for it or not, and Claudette Colbert matches him beat for beat. There's a blanket, a clothesline, and a stretch of empty highway that do more with restraint than most modern rom-coms manage with everything at their disposal. We get into why a movie made for pocket change swept every major Oscar, where Bugs Bunny came from, and which Mel Brooks film quietly lifted the whole structure. 

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, Dan, Sidey and Cris revisit Universal Soldier, the 1992 sci-fi action thriller from Roland Emmerich starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren as Vietnam soldiers killed in action, frozen, revived and turned into government-controlled super-commandos. Naturally, nothing about that plan goes wrong apart from absolutely everything.The episode opens with the realisation that the podcast has not covered nearly enough Van Damme, despite some hazy memories around Bloodsport, Kickboxer and the sacred word “Kumite”. From there the dads head into the film's Vietnam prologue, where Luc Deveraux discovers that Dolph Lundgren's Sergeant Andrew Scott has gone completely bananas, started collecting ears and decided that everyone is a traitor. Luc refuses to execute civilians, Scott kills one with a grenade, and the two men finish the scene by shooting and stabbing each other to death.Twenty-five years later, both men are back as Universal Soldiers: refrigerated black-ops zombie-cyborg-commandos who need cooling down, daily injections and convenient memory suppression. Their first big showcase comes during a hostage crisis at a dam, where they are dropped from absurd height, swim, climb, snipe and punch their way through the terrorists while the military tries very hard to keep the press away from the weird dead-men-with-cameras situation.Unfortunately for the programme, a freshly unemployed reporter sneaks into the operation, sees more than she should, and ends up on the run with Luc after Dolph's Scott starts remembering Vietnam and immediately chooses murder. What follows is a wonderfully daft road-chase movie in which Luc removes a tracker, discovers nudity-based comedy, learns that food tastes good, orders nearly everything in a diner, drinks heroic amounts of Pepsi, beats up a chef for expecting payment and slowly becomes more human while the military and a rapidly unraveling Dolph hunt him down.The dads also get into the supermarket/freezer sequence, Dolph's speeches about traitors, the prison-van chase, grenades being thrown back through windows, Luc returning home to Louisiana, Dr Gregor's extremely generous pseudoscience and the final barn fight in the rain. It is classic Van Damme business: spinning kicks, split kicks, slow motion, a syringe of Mega Juice and a massive agricultural machine waiting patiently to mince the villain at exactly the right moment.There is room for plenty of action-movie nostalgia as well. Cris remembers the film as part of a shared VHS diet alongside Kickboxer, Bloodsport, Double Impact, Commando and Total Recall, including wonderfully flat Romanian dubbing. Dan talks about Van Damme and Dolph being near the peak of their powers, while Sidey admits he skipped the film back in the day because it looked like a poor man's RoboCop, only to discover it is much more enjoyable than expected.The verdict is positive. Universal Soldier may be silly, sweaty and scientifically indefensible, but it is also fast, funny, practical, quotable and powered by two properly iconic action bodies. Sidey lands on a strong recommend, with the caveat that he is not quite ready to go spelunking through all the lower-budget sequels.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

When it comes to Hayao Miyazaki, the ocean is full of mystery and calamity. But one thing is for certain: Ponyo loves ham! This week is Miyazaki's late-career “movie for five-year-olds” that somehow combines the terror of complete environmental catastrophe with… the joy of floating around in a candle-powered speedboat. And cool jellyfish! Topics discussed: delicious-looking tea, delicious-looking ramen, whether or not the mad scientist/wizard Fujimoto represents Miyazaki, the perils of painting backgrounds for Ghibli, prehistoric fish, and Frankie Jonas. Next week we take a brief detour from the late works of Miyazaki and Takahata to cover Hiromasa Yonebayashi's THE SECRET WORLD OF ARRIETTY (2010).

Coyote after finally hearing his side of the story.

Howl may be the worst type of early 2000s emo hunk. But listeners…We! Can! Fix! Him!!! This week is a real doozy. Dom and Adam are not particularly effusive about Miyazaki's moody, dark magic sequel to SPIRITED AWAY. It's bewildering, it's bizarre, and some moments seem completely incomprehensible. But as an animated film, it's a spectacle to behold, and we have a lot to celebrate, too. For instance…Calcifer! Next week, it's Miyazaki's child-friendly disaster film, PONYO (2008).

The End of Oak Street brings us a wild sci-fi survival thrill ride starring Anne Hathaway & Ewan McGregor.

The Lego Batman Movie shouldn't work as well as it does. A feature-length gag reel built out of plastic bricks has no business landing a real Batman character arc, and yet it does. In this episode, the hosts dig into how Will Arnett's relentlessly self-serious Batman powers the comedy rather than resisting it, why the film can lovingly mock eighty years of Bat-history without ever feeling like it's punching down at the source, and where its wall-to-wall frenetic pace becomes a barrier for viewers who came in expecting Gotham to stay serious. From the voice work and the surprisingly grounded take on Barbara Gordon to the anything-goes finale that stretches the premise to its limit, this conversation looks at what a Batman movie gains, and quietly gives up, when it decides not to take itself seriously.

This is our spoiler-free review for Coyote vs. Acme. Nate, Justin, and Darcy discuss the film's live-action and animated style, the performances from Will Forte, Lana Condor, and John Cena, and the surprising emotional depth given to Wile E. Coyote. We also explore how the movie's troubled journey to the screen adds another layer to its story about perseverance, corporate greed, and an underdog refusing to stay down.

With One Night Only dropping, we're deep diving into the movies that cram an entire lifetime of chaos into a single day.We kick off with the best-friend comedy where a blown rent payment turns one ordinary morning into a full-blown citywide disaster, powered by a pop star and a comedy powerhouse who we'd genuinely follow into any bad decision.Then there's the assassin thriller that never lets its very unlucky hero off a single moving train — a briefcase everyone wants, a body count that keeps climbing, and nowhere to run.Plus the harmless games night that curdles into a real murder mystery before the wine's even finished, the one-day disaster we think is secretly a perfect film, and our controversial ranking of which of these we'd actually survive if we were living inside them.TAKE THE SPILL'S WEEKLY POP CULTURE QUIZ HERE Become a Mamamia subscriber and get an all-access pass to everything we make, including exclusive podcasts and early listening, subscriber-only articles, monthly giveaways and our home workout app, MOVE.

Did Studio Ghibli really make a family sitcom? Kind of! It's Isao Takahata's second-to-last film, and we simply couldn't resist adding it to our series. Joining us to revel in the brilliance (and surprisingly vindictive behavior) of the man they call Paku-San (aka Mr. Munch) is our dear friend and digital producer, Nik Long! Topics covered this week: whether or not YAMADAS is more like EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND or MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE, the long-standing rivalry of Miyazaki and Takahata and its similarities to the film CHALLENGERS, our nostalgia for discovering movies on television, Takahata's love of bananas, and so much more!
