Perfume: The Story of a Murderer & Doc McStuffins

There's a mere trio of Bad Dads for you this week with both Howie and Peter Andre absent for various trivial and unimportant reasons. The Top 5 Movies with a French Connection is quite possibly one of the least well-defined or most open to interpretation topics we've ever had on the podcast and each of us brings something different to the table to chat through, with the conversation steering mercifully, and perhaps surprisingly, clear of berets, baguettes and promiscuous hairy women.

PERFUME: THE STORY OF A MURDERER adapts Patrick Süskind's 1985 dark gothic fantasy for the big screen. Ben Whishaw plays the tortured soul Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, born with a superhuman sense of smell and whose only desire is to learn the techniques of perfume-making. This strange tale sees director Tom Tykwer expertly and imaginatively capture the sensation of smell on celluloid, there's notable support from Dustin Hoffman and Alan Rickman and an ending that almost defies description. But you know us, we'll give it a go.

Even if your kids don't watch DOC MCSTUFFINS there's a good chance you have some of the merchandise in your house which is the case for Reegs this week who failed to actually watch the episode in question. And he really should have as Dan's carefully curated episode pick "Into the Hundred Acre Wood" sees a huge comic-book crossover style event with A.A. Milne's Winne The Pooh, the charming fecally referencing bear. We answer the big questions this week such as: where did she get the magic stethoscope? Are the toys sentient and comatose when not animated by the good doctor? And is the Doc going all Shipman on us and actually harming the toys in question?

We're still running our CRUELLA giveaway, at this rate we will be running it for the rest of time. If you live in North America and you fancy getting your hands on a digital copy of Disney's latest then just listen to our Cruella episode and let us know how many Dalmations we gave it out of 101.

We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it. Try us on twitter @dads_film, on Facebook Bad Dads Film Review or on our website baddadsfilm.com.
