Kids, what are we watching tonight?
241 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 2 years ago -A father and two daughters review films together, and that's when the arguing starts. Usually its me (Dad) trying to get the girls to watch (what I consider) classic films from the 70's, 80's and 90's, but we love all movies, so we cover loads of stuff, new and old. Like you, we want to be entertained, and my hope is that, not only do we entertain you, but the films I pick entertain the girls as well....or I never hear the end of it. Join us as I try to educate them, and they try to stop me forcing 'rubbish old films' on them. Find all our social media and main podcast platforms here - https://linktr.ee/kwawwtpodcast

Episodes
We're crying at Armageddon (1998)
January 06, 2021 08:00 - 20 minutes - 13.9 MBBRUCE WILLIS SAVES THE WORLD!!! It's an awesome idea for any movie. Having survived the Nakatomi Plaza incident in 1988, Big Bruce flies into space to save the human race....and we cried and cried and cried. I don't remember it being such a tear jerker, but is it still an AMAZING collaboration of OTT destruction, SFX and one-liners between Bay & Bruckheimer. Can it still cut the Mustard with the Marvel for all out destruction? Listen in and find out. Support the show
Dora, Dora, Dora and the Lost City of Gold!!
January 04, 2021 15:00 - 18 minutes - 12.6 MBAs far as I'm concerned, the fact that this is directed by the same guy that did The Muppets (2011), Muppets Most Wanted and Flight of the Conchords, means it's essential viewing for all, even though I didn't know he directed it before I looked it up for my podcast notes. Listen in and find out what made us laugh and how it compares to the original cartoon (and would I rather date). All good, clean, wholesome fun. No mention of Dora's boobs. Nope. None!! Support the show
We're in love with The Muppets Christmas Carol!!
January 02, 2021 00:00 - 41 minutes - 28.5 MBHere it is. Our Christmas day viewing, and by FAR the....THE best Christmas movie ever made. This film transcends our love of all things Muppet, and we discuss a lot of muppet stuff. We even review the 'missing song' and discuss how it's inclusion would have affected the movie. Danny Trejo, The Muppets, Treasure Island, a few sing a long bits and Animal stuffing his head down a toilet. WE LOVE THE MUPPETS!! Support the show
We're watching Wonder Woman 84
December 29, 2020 12:00 - 41 minutes - 28.2 MBThe 80's are back, and so is pilot Steve.....somehow, and a dork turns into a cat....and there's a stone, and there's plot holes.....and it's been a really, really, REALLY long wait for it, but FINALLY Wonder Woman 84 is out. But was it worth the wait? Listen in and enjoy. Support the show
Daddy discusses Tenet
December 28, 2020 19:00 - 19 minutes - 13.7 MBTook me a while to finally watch it, but was it worth it? Is it as confusing as everyone says and does it require multiple viewings just to understand the end credits. To be honest, its an extremely well made film with a major issue. Listen in and enjoy Support the show
We're watching Gremlins
December 26, 2020 14:00 - 24 minutes - 16.8 MBOK, took a few days to edit, sort and upload - I've been busy. But here it is, our first, proper, Christmas Movie!! And being Christmas we ask, is it a Christmas Movie? Is Gizmo cuter then Grogu? Whats the Back to the Future link? But most importantly, why is the Science teacher still in school at two in the morning? Death, destruction, mayhem!! ALL the good things you need at Christmas! Enjoy. Support the show
We're watching Scrooged
December 22, 2020 21:00 - 18 minutes - 12.4 MBTis Christmas!! A time for joy and happiness and Christmas movies. I persuaded the kids to watch a different take on the old Dickens classic - a more modern, comedic take. Totally not what I expected. Enjoy. Support the show
Daddy reacts to the BIG Mandalorian S2 reveal (SPOILERS)
December 18, 2020 21:00 - 18 minutes - 12.7 MBWont say a lot here, but I gush, I geek and I get a bit emotional!. Yes, its a bit sad for a 45 year old man......BUT ITS STAR WARS!!!! Support the show
Daddy discusses The Mandalorian S2 - NOT the last 15minutes!!!
December 18, 2020 21:00 - 28 minutes - 19.4 MBThe 'spoiler lite' discussion about The Mandalorian S2. We don't talk about the BIG reveal at the end, but director's, plot, cameo's, what's good and what's bad are all in here. I haven't done TV before, but this needed to be talked about....and hey, Star Wars started off as a film so its fair game No going off topic. No muppets. No Danny Trejo. Just me geeking out.

Daddy quickly reviews Underwater
December 17, 2020 16:00 - 13 minutes - 9.43 MBWhat would happen if The Abyss was crossed with Life?. Probably this. My quick review of the last 20th Century Fox film to be released in the Cinema, and one of a handful of pre-covid films to get an un-obstructed cinema release. It looks good, but is it actually good?. Listen in to find out!! Support the show
We're watching Inception
December 13, 2020 00:00 - 24 minutes - 16.6 MBNot the Christopher Nolan podcast you wanted (given Tenet was released two days ago), but its the one you deserve....no...thats a Batman thing. ERRRR....right, it's the one your getting. OK? The big questions though, Did you understand it? Did Leo escape the dream? Is it still a Dream? What if an idiot was in-charge of making the dream and they had a muppet fascination? It's a great film, but is it great because its complicated, or is it great film because it makes you think?

We're discussing the Disney investor day reveals.
December 11, 2020 15:00 - 44 minutes - 30.6 MBYesterday Disney had a proper important money meeting with proper important money people and discussed/revealed a heap of future Disney, Disney+, Marvel and Star Wars projects. In this episode we watch trailers, react, and talk about what was said. It's a biggie people. Strap in for a LOT of stupidity, theories and fan girl-ing!!. Support the show
Daddy quickly reviews The Foreigner
December 10, 2020 19:00 - 11 minutes - 7.99 MBJACKIE CHAN ACTING!!. I mean proper acting. OR Jackie Chan vs Bond!! Really - either of those tag lines can sell this movie. This movie is worth watching JUST to see how good an actor Jackie Chan is. Not to disparage his movie career. Obviously he does act, but this is something better. Listen and Enjoy! Support the show
Daddy talk's about himself and quickly reviews Ghosts of War
December 10, 2020 18:00 - 8 minutes - 5.58 MBWhile scrolling through Youtube one day I saw a video called "Ghosts of War - the ending explained!!". That piqued my interest, because I knew about the film, but after the October horror binge I went on, I really didn't fancy another 'scary movie'. This, however, is an un-ashamedly B-movie, World War Two, haunted house film, with a particularly smart twist at the end, so it was in for a viewing. Soldiers go in, jump scares abound, but its the 'why' that's really good. Listen in and en...
We're watching Love & Monsters
December 10, 2020 13:00 - 19 minutes - 13.8 MBThis movie turned up out of nowhere. Having seen a trailer a while back, I decided we should watch this. What did we think? Was Ice Cube in Anaconda? Why wasn't Danny Trejo in this? How did we get onto Zombie boobs? We're all over the place here people, a bit like Joel. Support the show
Daddy quickly reviews The Last Samurai
December 09, 2020 22:00 - 13 minutes - 9.07 MBAhh yes. The epic Tom Cruise film that's just not epic and suffers from having Tom Cruise in it!!. If we're honest - it's just Kickboxer with swords and armour!! Wondering what I'm on about. Listen in to find out. Support the show
Daddy quickly reviews Operation Finale
December 07, 2020 16:00 - 9 minutes - 6.78 MBThis story follows a group of Israeli Mossad officers as they try to capture, and extract, Adolf Eichmann in 1960. This was a story I was not aware of, but it's a really interesting story. Yes there are a few niggles, and its based 'on a true story', so its mostly true...but it is mostly good. Listen and Enjoy.

We're discussing Ready Player 1 - Book and Film.
December 05, 2020 10:00 - 37 minutes - 25.8 MBI read the book. We all watched the film. We did a podcast. Eldest daughter read the book. I read the sequel. We re-recorded the podcast. Here it is. Our dive into the Oasis, the compare and contrast of book vs film. Enjoy!! Support the show
We're watching Airplane!
December 03, 2020 20:00 - 19 minutes - 13.2 MBThe best, most quotable, most amazing comedy film EVER.....FINALLY, through foul means, I managed to get Nieve to watch this with me. I love it. I still love it. I hurt myself laughing so much. But is it still the best thing evah!! Does Shirly still cut the mustard?. Is that Kareem Abdul-Jabaar? And is it actually a re-make of an older film?. Listen in and find out....and don't call me Shirly. Support the show
We're watching The Shining
November 27, 2020 19:00 - 44 minutes - 30.8 MBI LOVE this film. This it the pinnacle in psychological horror. There's only one death, but there's so much tension and fear and its just utterly brilliant. Today the Girls and I sat down to watch it, and I was not disappointed. I love editing and re-listening to their reactions as much as I enjoyed re-watching the film itself. While it's truly a classic, my worry is that younger audiences will never see this film unless they have a reason to seek it out. In an age of indistinguisha...
Daddy quickly reviews Da 5 Bloods.
November 23, 2020 20:00 - 14 minutes - 10.2 MBSpike Lee's movie about 5 black Vietnam vets, returning to Vietnam to find the body of their Platoon leader, is not without flaws, but its a good movie. Certainly its time that there was a film about Black soldiers in Vietnam, but this addresses not just the effect of the war on these characters, but interestingly, how it affected the Vietnamese as well. Worth a watch? Support the show
We're watching The Princess Switch 2
November 20, 2020 19:00 - 36 minutes - 25.1 MBBACKSTORY - I signed up with an Extra's agency last year and managed to get a few days work on this movie, so the whole family got together to watch it. But is it an improvement on the original? How much V-Hudge can you get in one movie? Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? What's the (very tenuous) link between Die Hard and Princess Switch 2? Shout out to the people I met while filming, and to the BBB's that got me the job. Listen and enjoy. Follow and Subscribe if you want. Thanks Suppo...
We're watching Major League
November 18, 2020 18:00 - 14 minutes - 9.93 MBThe 1989 baseball comedy about a team so bad they're good. Charlie Sheen, Tom Berenger, Rene Russo, Wesley Snipes, Dennis Haysbert, Corben Bernsen and many others make this an epic sports movie, and its the tried and tested tale of losers trying to win something. It has feel good written all over it. However we get off topic and cover Burt Reynolds, my failings as a father, Space Jam, Remember the Titans, Life of Brian and open up with Nieve discussing the finer points of Colossus's butt...
We're watching The Witches 2020
November 16, 2020 15:00 - 26 minutes - 17.9 MBA new, slightly different take, on the Roald Dahl children's classic. Better in some ways, but better then the original 1990 movie? Nieve knows because I've not watched it....or read the book...so for once I defer judgement to "greater" minds. Is it worth the £15.99 price tag to rent for a couple of days? Why is there controversy around it? Did we forget to answer these and many other questions about the film? Listen in to find out Support the show

Guess my writing career won't be taking off any time soon, however my ability to enjoy a CLASSIC sci-fi horror is still strong. Completely forgot the 2011 version was a prequel to the 1982 version, so watched them (more or less) back to back to see how well they fit together, and to see how the new stacks up to the old.
