Can You Ever Forgive Me? & Bear Gryyls: You vs Wild

Despite the near-constant stream of adaptations of books made into movies, “the book was better” seems to be a popular conclusion. But is that always the case? Some of the most successful and beloved films of all times are based on books, and there's also the Harry Potter series. This weeks episode sees the dads debating which are the best movies based on books, and amazingly some of us knuckle-dragging morons have even picked up a novel or two over the years. Dan nominated this weeks feature, the 2018 autobiographical picture about serial literary forger, Lee Israel, Can You Ever Forgive Me?. Melissa McCarthy and Richard E. Grant provide star turns in this true crime black comedy directed by Marielle Heller. Opinion was not universal on this one.Finally, have you ever wanted to kill Bear Grylls? Of course you have. Well Netflix might just have the solution for you in Bear Grylls: You vs Wild. Bear's interactive adventure starts typically as he flings himself recklessly from a helicopter, the difference being that this time you are in control and can decide whether to front or back flip. Sadly you can't hurl him into the choppers blades but you can ask him to eat worms, get stranded on a rock face or pass out from lack of oxygen in an underground cavern as we watch The Myth of The Abandoned Mine.We love interacting with our listeners, so please get in touch with us - @dads_film, on Facebook or via email to [email protected].
