Hey there, Dads and film aficionados! It’s time for another episode of Bad Dads Film Review, and today we’re cozying up to delve into two compelling tales of age, regret, and reconciliation.

First on our list is The Mule, brought to us by the legendary Clint Eastwood. In this gritty drama inspired by true events, Eastwood plays Earl Stone, a man in his 80s who stumbles into a job as a drug courier for a Mexican cartel. His journey is not just one of dodging law enforcement and transporting illicit cargo; it’s also a path of self-discovery and facing the personal failings that defined his relationships with his family. As always, Eastwood brings a certain gravitas to the role, portraying a man who’s tough yet vulnerable, set in his ways yet capable of change.

Switching lanes, we board The Last Bus. a sci-fi adventure series that follows a group of school students who come together to face a robot apocalypse. As they journey across the UK, they must navigate their personal differences and come to terms with their new reality. While aimed at a younger audience, "The Last Bus" offers themes that resonate across ages, including teamwork, resilience, and innovation in the face of adversity.

So whether you're looking for a deep, complex narrative or a family-friendly series that sparks the imagination, today's lineup has something for everyone. Join us as we explore the darker corners of a drug mule's last ride and the hopeful journey of kids saving the world, one bus stop at a time.

And of course, we'll be sharing all the Dad insights, anecdotes, and the occasional groan-worthy pun along the way. It's all here on Bad Dads Film Review! 🎥🚌👨‍👧‍👦
