We Need The Horny, Bi-Panic Pickleball Movie ASAP

Ep. 116

Welcome to Bad Dad Rad Dad, where Kylie and Elliott talk about the movies they watch each week while searching for better cinematic dads. Along the way, they see a sexy movie, need a palette cleanser after a tough watch, hear Palestinean women tell their stories, wonder what mall they'd spend the zombie apocalypse in, catch Elliott's favourite biopic in the theatre, and reflect on what kind of silly is the kind of silly for them.


This week’s movies are: Challengers (2024), Femme (2023), Stitching Palestine (2017), Dawn of the Dead (1979), Erin Brockovich (2000), and Spaceballs (1987).
