This week on Bad Dads Film Review, we double up on trouble (and laughs) with our Top 5 Twins before diving headfirst into Greta Gerwig’s billion-dollar juggernaut Barbie.

👯 Double Vision
From Arnold and Danny in Twins to the terrifying Grady girls from The Shining, via Tintin’s bumbling detectives and even a detour into real-life Hollywood doppelgängers, we explore the weird, wonderful, and occasionally creepy world of twins on screen. Expect heated debate, dodgy impressions, and at least one unexpected Cessna reference.

💖 Welcome to Barbie Land
Then it’s time to swap our twin talk for Dream Houses, Mojo Dojo Casa Houses, and one of the most talked-about films in years. Greta Gerwig’s Barbie isn’t just pink fluff — it’s a meta-musical comedy that takes aim at patriarchy, gender politics, and existential dread, all while giving us Ryan Gosling’s unforgettable “I’m Just Ken.” We discuss:

• Barbie Land’s pastel-perfect world and its very real cracks.
• Margot Robbie’s pitch-perfect performance as “Stereotypical Barbie.”
• Why Ryan Gosling steals the show as a lovesick himbo.
• The film’s surprisingly sharp take on feminism, identity, and growing up.

As always, there’s plenty of swearing, wild tangents, and the kind of cinematic analysis you won’t find in Sight & Sound (for good reason).

👉 Tune in for existential crises, Ken’s horses, and the shocking revelation that some of us still haven’t seen Oppenheimer.

We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it. If it hasn't been completely destroyed yet you can usually find us on twitter @dads_film, on Facebook Bad Dads Film Review, on email at [e-mail] or on our website baddadsfilm.com.

Until next time, we remain...
