First Man & Lower Decks

Welcome back to another episode of Bad Dads Film Review! Today, we're embarking on a journey that spans the monumental to the microscopic, starting with our top 5 iconic statues in film, blasting off with First Man, and then warping to the comedic cosmos of Lower Decks.Top 5 Iconic Statues in Film (which may or may not make our list....):The Statue of Liberty in Planet of the Apes (1968) - The unforgettable reveal of the half-buried statue is a powerful symbol of a fallen civilization and one of cinema's most iconic moments.Christ the Redeemer in Fast Five (2011) - Towering over Rio de Janeiro, this statue provides a stunning backdrop to the high-octane heist.The Lincoln Memorial in Forrest Gump (1994) - Forrest's speech at this iconic monument is a touching moment that blends history with the film's heartfelt narrative.The Thinker in Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009) - Brings humour and life to the famous sculpture, making it a memorable character in its own right.Mount Rushmore in North by Northwest (1959) - The thrilling climax on the faces of this monumental sculpture is one of Hitchcock's most memorable scenes.Main Feature - First Man:Next, we strap in for a cinematic journey with First Man, directed by Damien Chazelle and starring Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong. This biographical drama offers an intimate, pulse-pounding look at the life of the astronaut and the legendary space mission that led him to become the first man to walk on the moon. It's a film that combines personal sacrifice, bravery, and the awe-inspiring wonder of space exploration.Kids TV - Lower Decks:For the little ones, and let's be honest, the adults too, we're taking a detour to the final frontier with Star Trek: Lower Decks. This animated series offers a hilarious take on the Star Trek universe, focusing on the support crew serving on one of Starfleet's least important ships. It's a fresh and funny perspective on the sci-fi we all know and love, proving that heroes come in all ranks.Whether you're a fan of monumental cinema, space exploration, or interstellar laughs, today's episode has something for everyone.
