Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! This episode is all about impact—whether it’s an explosive moment, a game-changing victory, or the sitcom that kept audiences laughing for over a decade. We kick things off with our Top 5 Bangs, followed by a review of Champions (2023), and wrap up with a nostalgic dive into The Big Bang Theory.

Top 5 Bangs

This week, we count down the most memorable bangs in pop culture. Whether it’s an earth-shattering explosion, a legendary sports moment, or even an iconic hairstyle (yes, we’re looking at you, Zooey Deschanel), we’ve got a line-up of impactful moments that left a lasting impression. Expect some heated debate as we narrow down our favourites!

Champions (2023) – Underdogs with Heart

Directed by Bobby Farrelly, Champions stars Woody Harrelson as Marcus, a disgraced minor league basketball coach who, after a run-in with the law, is sentenced to community service coaching a team of players with intellectual disabilities. What starts as an obligation turns into a heartfelt journey as Marcus learns more from his team than he ever imagined.

Why It Stands Out:

• Heartfelt Performances – Harrelson brings his usual charm, but it’s the cast of players who truly steal the show, delivering authentic and inspiring performances.
• Balancing Comedy and Emotion – The film avoids stereotypes and instead focuses on genuine relationships and growth, making for a feel-good yet meaningful experience.
• A Classic Underdog Story – If you love sports movies that blend humour with heartfelt moments, Champions delivers in spades.

The Big Bang Theory – A Sitcom Phenomenon

Running for 12 seasons (2007–2019), The Big Bang Theory followed the lives of socially awkward physicists Leonard and Sheldon, their equally quirky group of friends, and their interactions with Penny, the aspiring actress next door.

Why It Left a Mark:

• Geek Culture Goes Mainstream – The show made science, comic books, and nerd culture cool, bringing references to Star Wars, Dungeons & Dragons, and more into the mainstream.
• Sheldon Cooper’s Legacy – Jim Parsons’ portrayal of Sheldon became one of TV’s most iconic characters, leading to the spinoff Young Sheldon.
• A Long-Lasting Impact – With its mix of smart humor and heartfelt friendships, The Big Bang Theory remains one of the most beloved sitcoms of all time.
