Midweek Mention... Mixed by Erry

Hey there, Bad Dads! On today's episode of the Bad Dads Film Review, we're stepping into a time machine and cruising through the streets of 1980s Naples with the Italian biographical comedy, "Mixed by Erry" (2023).

Imagine the vibrant, bustling streets of Naples, Italy, where the air buzzes with the latest music hits, all thanks to three brothers and their legendary mixtapes. "Mixed by Erry" isn't just a film; it's a nostalgic journey back to an era where mixtapes were the Spotify of the day, and music piracy? Well, let's just say it was a different ball game.

Directed by Sydney Sibilia, this film throws us into the lives of Erry, Tonino, and Carmine – three brothers whose passion for music turns them into local legends. Erry, the youngest, is the brains behind their mixtapes, a true visionary in every sense. Tonino, with his sharp business sense, is the glue that holds their operation together. And then there's Carmine, the eldest, whose creative genius gives the mixtapes their soul.

Their mixtapes, a blend of raw passion and bold defiance, become a cultural phenomenon. But with great popularity comes great scrutiny. As the music industry bigwigs start circling, our heroes are at a crossroads: stick to their DIY ethos or bow to the pressures of the industry.

For all you Dads out there who remember the days of rewinding cassettes and recording your favorite tracks off the radio, "Mixed by Erry" is a love letter to those times. It's a film that reminds us of the power of music, the thrill of chasing dreams, and the unbreakable bond of brotherhood.

So, grab a beer, settle in, and let's relive the glory days of mixtapes and music piracy, Bad Dads style. And who knows, maybe it'll inspire you to dig out those old cassettes and create a mixtape of your own! 📼🎶🎬🇮🇹👨‍👧‍👦
