Gael Boys

In this episode, the boys invited John back on the show to return to the world of James Bond to cover the Craig era. A very inconsistent run of films that create an interesting meta narrative of "is James Bond irrelevant in the 21 century?" Along the way talks about the fall of the Assad regime, the NYC CEO murder, mid 2000s action movie filmmaking and how Paddington bear is actually a based political assassin.

In this episode, the boys are once again joined by recurring guest star and token American Snel to talk all things JD Vance. We discuss his bad upbringing and beliefs, why he got elected VP and who put him there, Snels weird connection to the Vances and why your dumb boomer parents love Israel.

In this episode, the boys cut loose in honor of their new, harsh reality and talk about the recently released 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.' A game that's way more fun then it has any right to be and the boys also reminisce about previous installments of the series for laughs and ridicule. Also featured is talk of recent gaming trends, how parasocial relationships influence voting, and pitching Oklahoma City bombing for the game's upcoming DLC.

In this episode, the boys return from their election vacation to confront the reality of a second Trump presidency. Along with talking about the recent Trump/Roy Cohn biopic 'The Apprentice,' One of the best films of the year and also tells us a lot how things are the way they are. Also talk of Biden's legacy of failure, gross NYC exploitation movies and how Trump media should be done to avoid liberal cringe.

In this episode, the boys celebrate Halloween by covering 2024's best and most provocative horror film. Coralie Fargeat's 'The Substance.' The year's ultimate "We Live in a Society" movie, but also a fun gore-fest that Cronenberg would be proud of. Also talk of the final days of the US election, how horror films can still remember to be fun once in a while and reminding everyone that no matter what happens in November, we all lose. 

In this episode, the boys call in the clowns to cover Todd Phillips' Joker Duology. The 2019 smash hit and the recently released 2024 bomb. Although the boys put up a passionate defense for Folie à Deux. Also talk of why NYC is hell on earth, fans are idiots and how time is more important to a film then box office. Joker 2019 worst takes:https://www.salon.com/2019/10/04/joker-review-todd-phillips-incels-alt-right-warner-bros/https://www.leftvoice.org/first-as-farce-then-as-tragedy/https://youtu.be/bujc8KkxwmQ?si=w_tB4IkFoBHMvdOFhttps://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019/10/joker-joaquin-phoenix-trump-era
 

In this episode, the boys tackle 2024's most polarizing and fascinating film. Francis Ford Coppola's 'Megalopolis.' A film that's impossible to describe and even harder to understand. But it might be an end of an era in Hollywood. Also talk of Israel's attacks on Lebanon, the VP debate, Ditty's arrest and Coppola's complicated legacy as a filmmaker and artist. 

In this episode, the boys get serious for an episode they have planned since the beginning of the show. 'An Open Secret.' A film that derailed a director's career, sent people to jail and is impossible to find thanks to people richer and more powerful then this podcast. Also talks of Trump constantly getting shot at, Taylor Swift being an American oligarch, evil people getting away with awful crimes and how nothing will change regardless of who's in charge. An Open Secret documentary in full: https://www.effedupmovies.com/open-secret-2014/

In this episode, the boys celebrate a belated 9/11 to talk about one of the greatest movies of the 80s and maybe of all time, Paul Verhoeven's Robocop. A great action movie, cyberpunk satire, religious allegory. It's a masterpiece. Also talks about Trump thinking people are eating dogs, Conservative YouTubers taking money from the Russians, glazing Paul Verhoeven's filmography and why not every successful movie can be a lucrative franchise.     Further Reading:*https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrMZC-E47g4&ab_channel=DRCArchive*https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/two-rt-employees-indicted-covertly-funding-and-directing-us-company-published-thousandshttps://x.com/RichardHanania/status/1833614930530226221

In this episode, the boys take a lunch break to cover 1999's 'Inspector Gadget.' From the director of 'Cool as Ice', an under 80 minute runtime and actors with a decent real life body count. Clearly a production that wasn't doomed from day one right? Also talk about Rupert Everett ruining Guy Richie's life, how Hollywood encourages failing upwards, and how cartoons don't work in live action.
