Episode #131: Good Boys

Welcome friends to another podcast about movies!  Yes another one….. Anyways today Mysterious Mike and Incredible Matt finally review the coming-of age raunchy comedy Good Boys.  The guys mostly stay on topic until the end of the pod when Mike and Matt really start talking about their childhoods.  Other topics you don’t care about include streaming services are they the next cable companies, drones: reality versus myth, and the Wish Man film.

Good Boys is a fun raunchy comedy that is reminiscent of Superbad blended with American Pie.  There is a lot of heart throughout the film and quite a few laughs too.  The recurring theme that works best, even though it is used over and over is the main characters not understanding adult oriented items and phrases.  It is incredibly funny even though the gag is used way too much. The acting was decent especially Keith L. Williams who plays Lucas a kid who is way too honest and nice.  Overall Good Boys is a fun film but you can wait until this one comes out at RedBox or one of the many streaming services.  Mike Talent enjoyed the film giving it 3 out of 5 Reels.  Matt was a bit harsher than Mike but not by much. Let’s hope this is only a phase.  He gives Good Boys 2.5 out of 5 Reels.  

Next week the guys will talk about the sequel to the 2017 break out horror hit It Chapter Two.  If they can get two reviews in and Mike has the film in a theater near him they will talk about the independent adventure comedy The Peanut Butter Falcon, if not you will just get It Chapter Two which probably will be over our time limit to begin with.  Thank you faithful listeners for tuning in to another pod, we will chat at you next week.
