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).

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 thank their local indie for curating their lives, come into their love of 50s movies, raise a fist alongside film anarchy, laugh the hardest they have in recent memory, and do a double feature of a new and an old horror flick. Also, Kylie hears her dead dad's voice for the first time in thirteen years (and Elliott hears his voice for the first time ever).

This week’s movies are: Roman Holiday (1953), The People's Joker (2022), Problemista (2023), Pride (2014), Humane (2024), and Slither (2006).

Witness the glory of the Butterdome!

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 feel complicated about a big budget A24 film, celebrate National Canadian Film Day, see the Canadian premiere of their most anticipated movie of the year, experience the uncanniness of seeing their own city on screen, and watch a film that just isn't for them (even if it is for other people).

This week’s movies are: Civil War (2024), I Used To Be Funny (2024), I Saw The TV Glow (2024), Before I Change My Mind (2022), and Marketa Lazarová (1967).

Welcome to The Rad Wrap: a series on series, where Kylie and Elliott explore films with a common thread. In this episode, they are joined by their friend and fellow educator Thomas Wishloff. They reflect on Thomas's Metro Cinema series Slowed Down Sundays and the four films in this year's curation. Along the way, they ask what it means to have faith in things, discuss a movie worth writing a master's thesis on, wish for cinema debrief spaces, and think about what lens to watch a film through.

The films in Slowed Down Sundays 2024 are: Solaris (1972), A Brighter Summer Day (1991), I Do Not Care If We Go Down In History As Barbarians (2018), and Once Upon A Time In Anatolia (2018).

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 their favourite 2024 movie (that is way too good for Netflix), laugh at Richard "Girl Talk" Kind, reflect on why horror's ability to tap into the zeitgeist is so important, love two prequels (despite property fatigue), and find nepo babies everywhere.

This week’s movies are: Monkey Man (2024), A Serious Man (2009), First Omen (2024), Wonka (2023), and The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999).

Welcome to The Rad Wrap: a series on series, where Kylie and Elliott explore films with a common thread. In this very special episode, they reflect on one of their favourite pieces of art: Twin Peaks. Along the way, they hold no garmonbozia back while they reflect on the nature of duality, insist that trying to capture Twin Peaks in a genre is pointless, admire the radical act of showing the reality of Laura Palmer, and feel eternally grateful for Kyle MacLachlan and The Return.

The pieces in the series are: Twin Peaks (1990-1991), Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992), and Twin Peaks: The Return (2017).

Watch Lily Simpson's "The Iconic Transness of Twin Peaks" and Twin Perfect's analysis of the series.
