Gael Boys

#87: 28 Brexits Later

In this episode, the boys rip flesh limb from limb to talk about the '28 Days/Week/Years Later' series. A group of films that just so happen to be about zombies killing everyone while also feeling like a roadmap to where the United Kingdom has fallen into. Fascinating stuff! Also talk of how two auteurs can compliant each others worst impulses, the creeping sense of nihilism fully embracing current pop culture and how there is no fix to any of it.

#86: Patrick Bateman's Ten Rules For Life

On the this episode, the boys use the collapse of American life to talk about one of their favorite movies, Mary Harron's 'American Psycho.' Based on the novel by Bret Easton Ellis and the prefect movie for our current moment. As well as the previous moment and the future one. Also talk of the Epstein files, the future of America's popcorn politicians, Wall Street psychopathy and how satire is now treated as total sincerity. 
 

#85: Gay Gringos & Gaslighting

In this episode, the boys give the full episode treatment to one of the best films of 2024, Luca Guadagnino's 'Queer.' Based on the book by William S. Burroughs and the prefect movie for the LGBTQ+ community in 2025. In that everything is hopeless and doomed. Also talk of mayhem in the Middle East, America's future of useless leaders, the future of gay cinema and how sometimes the art is impossible to separate from the artist. 

#84: Bioshock 2/2: Howl's Moving Ethnostate

In this episode the boys finish off their BioShock deep dive with 2013's BioShock Infinite. A phenomenal first person shooter with a clunky yet ambitious story. The have some disagreements on this one. Also Liam reviews Jake Tapper's Biden book, Trump going full boomer, how fucked up early 20th century America was and reveling in the simple joy of shooting everything that moves.

83: The League Of Mid Gentlemen

#82: The Batman Who Sold The World

In this special crossover episode the boys are joined by the wonderful Remember Shuffle podcast to discuss the two Joel Schumacher Batman Movies, Batman Forever/ Batman and Robin. We discuss where they fit into the overall history of comic book movies, why they're as maligned as they are and opine for the good old days when comic book movies didn't look like total ass.

#81: Lava Cubes Can't Melt Ender Beams

In this episode, the boys keep on their video game adventures, this time to talk about the Minecraft movie that's taking cinemas and the internet by storm.

#80: Bioshock 1/2: Objectivist Son or Collectivist Daughter

In this episode the boys dip back into the world of video games for a retrospective on the Bioshock series. Starting with Bioshock 1 & 2 The first game, an art-house horror dressed up like a Triple-A FPS and it's flawed but fun enough sequel. Also talk of Trump's tariff insanity, what makes a sequel good or bad, our thoughts on gooners and how capitalism will always turn into fascism.  

#79: MCU Flop Era 2/2: Red Hulk's Heated Gaming Moment

In the episode, guest John returns to the show to chat with the boys about 'Captain America: Brave New World.' The newest MCU slice of pig slop and how it spells a bad omen for everything going forward. Also talk of Ukraine, MAGA's further decent into nihilism, early Leo DiCaprio star vehicles and how films are not made anymore so much as they are assembled from broken pieces.

#78: MCU Flop Era 1/2: The Uncanny Valley

Also talk of how COVID ruined filmmaking, why homework shouldn't been mandatory to watch CGI monsters fighting each other, and how over saturation and quantity over quality is the bane of all franchises. Further Reading:https://www.dailydot.com/irl/simu-liu-reddit-history/https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-55185119https://variety.com/2022/film/news/christian-bale-thor-love-and-thunder-marvel-method-1235393822/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GC5rAX0xHghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka6XoaTiH6I
