Boy & The Inbestigators

As I get older I tend to re-watch movies less than I used to; perhaps it's because as I have matured I understand the art form better and have more life experience to draw on to deconstruct cinema. Or maybe it's because as I get older and the spectre of  death draws ever closer I understand that I have limited time left to enjoy new experiences. And with that cheery thought in mind let us propel you towards our Top 5 movies you wish you hadn't rewatched. Maybe we didn't enjoy a second viewing because the movie was so perfect the first time round you can never repeat the experience or maybe it's because when revisiting a once loved movie all you can see is its flaws. Or maybe it's because one weekend you were so bored you somehow managed to watch Speed 2: Cruise control 4 times and never wish to endure it again.Our main feature this week is Taika Waititi's 2010 comedy drama, Boy. A movie about a community adrift in the present, this quintessentially quirky film features great performances and a heart achingly sad dilemma as our guide on this journey through Maori culture learns that his father is not quite the hero he understood him to be. Fast becoming a Bad Dads favourite, Taika Waititi wrote, directed and starred in this gem set in New Zealand.A listener suggested we watch Netflix's The InBestigators. Continuing our peak into antipodean culture, this production about a bunch of children solving low stakes crimes, featuring precocious and wooden child actors couldn't possibly end up being a Bad Dads favourite could it? We might review your suggestions but it doesn't mean we have to like them so tune in to find out what we thought of this series.
