Gosling's Garden - Barbie (2023)

Good Boys Gone Bland ·

2024/11/12

AT LONG LAST the GBGBs review the final movie in the Ryan Gosling season, Barbie (2023). The BTS for this review was a logistical nightmare but we were glad to wrap up the season on a high note with probably the most iconic movie of this decade. The Gos-man plays Ken, whose job is beach, and he also sings a song in an extended dance-off musical number near the end of the movie. If you haven't seen this movie yet, what are you even doing? Thanks for stopping by!

The GBGBs are BACK with an OSCAR WINNING BANGER. That's right folks, get on your dancing shoes because we're reviewing La La Land. It's a movie about singing, dancing, jazz being dead, and HOLLYWOOD. It's also the third (and best) iteration of the Ryan Gosling/Emma Stone onscreen couple. Also discussed: Musicals as a concept, writing our own musical, and Ryan's personal connection with the plot of this movie. Thanks for stopping by!

2024/10/07

The GBGB's are doing another TV Special, this time reviewing Ryan Gosling's earliest roles from two popular 90s TV shows. Gosling stars in a Goosebumps episode titled, "Say Cheese, and Die!" as well as an episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark titled, "The Tale of Station 109.1". The GBGBs are tough critics, but find bits of the RG they know and love in these early appearances. Denali also tests Jace and Ryan's wits as they embark on a 1996 Teen Choice Awards winner-take-all quiz! Thanks for

Gosling's Garden - The Place Beyond the Pines (2012)

Good Boys Gone Bland ·

2024/09/23

Everyone was begging and pleading us to do it, and we finally decided to listen to the legions of fans and do it. We reviewed The Place Beyond the Pines, the 2012 crime epic told in 3 parts for two and a half hours. Everyone has undoubtedly seen this movie so no need for a synopsis, but just in case, Ryan Gosling plays a tatted-up badboy dirt bike jumper who robs banks. Then Bradley Cooper comes in and is like, "hey! Stop!! I wanna be the DA!" and then they both have kids and it becomes another

Gosling's Garden - Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011)

Good Boys Gone Bland ·

2024/09/09

The GBGBs are back with PEAK GOSLING in Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011). Now some might argue that his character in this movie is not peak Gosling, but there is no doubt that this era marks the dawn of RG's great reign over our screens. Starting with Drive, our friend stars in 3 films in a single year, then goes onto star in a major film every year afterwards. But how does the Gos-man measure up in the Rom-Com space? Can he bring his affable comedic chops in a movie where he's largely a proto-manosphere

Gosling's Garden: The Nice Guys (2016)

Good Boys Gone Bland ·

2024/07/24

The GBGBs return with their latest episode of Gosling's Garden, this time roping in special guest Ali! This time around we review the 2016 Shane Black action-comedy, The Nice Guys! In true Gosling-movie fashion, the film takes place in LA and gives us a nostalgic trip through a bygone era. But this time, Gosling plays a down on his luck private eye who teams up with toughguy Russell Crowe to solve a mystery in 1970s LA. There's goofs, there's gaffes, and there's lotsa laughs.

Gosling's Garden - Gangster Squad (2013)

Good Boys Gone Bland ·

2024/05/28

The GBGBs are back with our review of GANGSTER SQUAD (2013). What, you don't remember this movie? C'mon it has Gosling, Emma Stone, Sean Penn, Thanos, The Falcon, Crossbones, Ant-Man's funny friend Luis.... Really?? Well it's about a ragtag team of mavericks who are trying to take down a mob boss in 1940s Los Angeles! It was also critically panned and was a box office flop. Not all of Gosling's movies are winners, but with a hit rate like that guy, we had to go for a stinker this week. Ryan (our

Gosling's Garden - Lars and the Real Girl (2007)

2024/04/02

The GBGBs are back in Gosling's Garden to watch the 2007 indie comedy, Lars and the Real Girl! This movie stars our friend the Gosman as Lars, a shy yet kindhearted fellow who lives with his brother (Paul Schneider) and sister-in-law (Emily Mortimer). Things take a turn when Lars begins a romantic relationship with an anatomically correct sex doll named Bianca. Lars's community then decides to go along with his delusion in hopes that he will find the connections that he needs. This movie was an

Gosling's Garden - Blade Runner 2049

Good Boys Gone Bland ·

2024/03/25

The GBGBs are continuing their Ryan Gosling marathon with a review of 2017's Blade Runner 2049! This movie is a BLEAK, DYSTOPIAN, THRILL RIDE full of philosophy and sobering discussions about personhood. Ryan Gosling plays a Nexus 8 replicant tasked with "retiring" older replicant models. Everything is fine and dandy until *record scratch* Gosling realizes he just might be the long lost child of a replicant mother, placing him at the center of a paradigm shift between humans and replicants.

2024/03/18

The GBGBs are kicking off Season 10 (?!) with a 10-movie marathon of Ryan Gosling, starting with the ICONIC 2004 film, The Notebook. This steamy romance stars Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams as Noah and Allie, two teenagers who fall in love in 1940s South Carolina. The two are separated when Allie's parents don't approve of their relationship. But years later, on the cusp of Allie's marriage to the very charming James Marsden, Noah returns to their town and THE SPARKS FLY! The GBGBs also discuss

The Garage - Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

Good Boys Gone Bland ·

2024/02/26

At long last, we have arrived at the end of the Car Season, SHINY AND CHROME! This week we reviewed the iconic reboot of an iconic franchise, Mad Max: Fury Road. This time around Tom Hardy plays our eponymous hero as he aids Furiosa (played by Charlize Theron) as she launches a daring escape with Immortan Joe's five wives from The Citadel. It's a absolutely buck wild ride front to back and a perfect send-off for a buck wild Car Movie Marathon.

The Garage: Cars (2006)

Good Boys Gone Bland ·

2024/02/12

Well well well they finally did it. The GBGBs watched the movie Cars for their Car Season. They fired up their car-microphones, sat in their car-chairs, and watched car-Owen Wilson figure out his car-problems for 2 car-hours. This movie is the culmination of a gradually increasing saturation of cars throughout the season. At no point has there been as many cars as Cars. If you want us to watch a movie with more cars, we can't do it. It's literally impossible because there are no movies with more

2024/01/22

Jace is out of town this week so Denali and Ryan bat-hooked in to record another special bonus episode! This week they chose to review the most infamous entry in the great Batman cinematic canon: 1997's Batman and Robin. This movie stars George Clooney as the most anatomically correct Batman we have ever seen up to this point. We also have Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze, Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy, and Alicia Silverstone as Batgirl. This movie is insanely stacked and features an icerink battle,

2 companies, 2 friends, 1 car, 1 race, 24 hours, 50 business guys, 3 podcast hosts, one show. This episode we review Ford V Ferrari, a biopic starring the Ford GT40 as it navigates the famed 1966 24 hours of Le Mans. Christian Bale and Matt Damon are also in this movie and they act their pants off in this thing, no doubt about it. These fellas build a dang racecar that beats Ferrari in the most famous race in the world. How do they do it?? Well guess what they reenact the whole thing in this here

The GBGBs are back (with special returning guest Micheal) to review our second movie featuring a car possessed by a demonic spirit (citation needed), Herbie: Fully Loaded! Micheal had last joined us during our review of Air Bud: Spikes Back, so we thought it was only appropriate to rope him into another 2000s Disney classic. This movie stars Lindsay Lohan as an aspiring racecar driver who meets a mysterious Volkswagon Beetle that seemingly has a mind of its own.... Hijinks ensue, the Beetle farts

We're back with another bonus episode where we review the New Line Cinema cult classic, CRITTERS! Jace was out adventuring in Japan during recording so Ryan and Denali took up the helm this episode. Critters stars a bizarre batch of alien furballs hellbent on eating the inhabitants of Earth. It is up to two shapeshifting alien bounty hunters to dispatch these "critters" and rescue a terrorized family in rural Kansas. There's wild practical effects, slapstick gags, and even a full fake glam rock

HAPPY HALLOWEEEEN! We're halfway through our Car Season and it's finally time for us to review a movie that STARS a car, Christine (1983)! The GBGBs have also invited their friend Trevor as a guest reviewer to help us digest this wild adaptation of a Stephen King classic. This movie is directed by John Carpenter and features a KILLER CAR that begins to possess the mind and spirit of an unwitting nerdy teenager named Arnie.

QUICKLY, there isn't much time! The GBGBs watched Gone in 60 Seconds (2000) this week where Nicholas Cage has to steal 50 cars in 3 days. So far our car season has had movies with a few cars, but this movie has FIFTY of 'em. There's other famous folks in there too, like Angelina Jolie, Robert Duvall, Timothy Olyphant and Michael Pena, what a cast! Oh geez we already wasted too much time. Okay okay this movie is wild, its got heists, car jumps, an evil british guy who loves woodworking, and a chase
