2025/09/02

Are you ready to get wild?? Because we're about to pay a visit to Zootopia! A bustling metropolis filled with businesses, public transit, and municipal bureaucracy! I guess that's not very wild.... But there are animals though! This animated film made a massive splash at the box office in 2016 and we thought it would be a great time to pay it a revisit in light of the recent sequel announcement. Also discussed: animal nudity rules, Denali's apology to the furry community, copaganda, Zootopia

*Apologies for the sound quality this episode, we had lost the original file but used a lower quality backup*Despite mixed results with previous movies, the GBGBs embarked on their 3rd Terry Gilliam project with The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988)!

The Last Stop in Yuma County (2023)

Good Boys Gone Bland ·

2025/06/23

This week the GBGBs review The Last Stop in Yuma County, a neat lil indie flick starring Jim Cummings. The movie is about a traveling knife salesman getting trapped at a diner with a pair of bank robbers and a handful of locals and hijinks ensue. If any folks want to actually see this movie, we'd recommend NOT watching the trailer and going in cold. Also discussed: heists, exploding dye-packs in money bags, and the history of the Ford Pinto.

Dog Soldiers (2002)

2025/06/16

AWOOOO it's a werewolf episode!!! Dog Soldiers is a Bri'ish film that stars a lot of proper blokes like Kevin Mckidd and Liam Cunningham. It's about a team of soldiers trying to survive an attack by a pack of werewolves while on a training exercise in the Scottish Highlands. Listen as the GBGBs discuss werewolf mechanics, whether they'd choose to be a werewolf if given the chance, and novel uses of the word "bone". *Apologies for the audio this week, we had some issues recovering our files and had

The Thing (1982)

After years of waiting, the GBGBs finally review Ryan's favorite movie, THE THING (1982)! Directed by John Carpenter, The Thing stars Kurt Russell as a stoic research scientist trapped in an Antarctic base with a shapeshifting alien that is violently assimilating his coworkers. Hijinks ensue, and somehow multiple WWII flamethrowers get involved. We've also heard rumors that one of us is an assimilated Thing alien.

Dune (1984)

2025/05/05

Note to our listeners: This episode was recorded back in December 2024, before David Lynch's passing in January. RIP David Lynch, maybe one day the GBGBs can honor your work by reviewing some of your other buck-wild amazing films. This week the GBGBs review DUNE (the version from 1984). The first DUNE, before the pretty solid 2000 made-for-TV DUNE, before the excellent Denis Villeneuve DUNES, and before the ill-advised HBO series DUNE: Prophecy. This movie introduced mainstream audiences to Kyle

2025/04/28

The GBGBs are BACK with a review of the LATEST M. Night Shyamalan flick, TRAP. Josh Hartnett stars as just your everyday dad who's secretly a serial killer. All he wants to do is take his daughter to a concert to see her favorite pop star, Lady Raven (played by Saleka Night). Hijinks ensue when it turns out the concert is doubling as a giant sting operation to catch Josh Hartnett. This movie is a thrilling cat and mouse game that asks the age old question: can't we all just relax and have a good

Jennifer's Body (2009)

Good Boys Gone Bland ·

2025/04/15

This week we review cult horror-comedy classic, Jennifer's Body! Is 16 years long enough to be a cult classic? After missing this movie when it came out, we heard it went through a bit of a cultural renaissance the past few years so we thought we should give it a watch and see for ourselves. Megan Fox stars as Jennifer Check, a high school student who becomes possessed by a demon and begins hunting the local boys at her school. It is up to her best friend Needy, played by Amanda Seyfried, to put a

2025/03/04

Hej gott folk! Det var ett tag sedean men, de goa pojkarna blev intetsagande ha annu ett bra avsnitt till dig. The GBGBs are back with a very chill lowkey easy review of Swedish director Ingmar Bergman's 1966 avant-garde magnus opus, "Persona". This movie has been referred to as the "Mount Everest of cinematic analysis", so we figured after 120 episodes, the GBGBs are perfectly equipped to take this on! (We were sorely mistaken).Thanks for stopping by!

It's another Ryan and Denali bonus joint this week and we're watching Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives! After years of lobbying, Ryan finally got his wish to review one of the Jason movies on the podcast. Denali has never seen a Friday the 13th movie so this is going to go really well I'm sure.

We're back with another Ryan/Denali Bonus review.... This time with Terry Gilliam's TIME BANDITS (1981)! Forget what we've said before, THIS movie is an absolute fever dream.

Hop in the Twister-Wagon, we're going STORM CHASING! The GBGBs review the 90's disaster movie classic, Twister (1996) starring Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt. You guys know that Glen Powell movie called Twisters? Well this is basically like a prequel where you find out why the Tornado is so mad. This movie has everything: Twisters (as advertised), ROMANCE, flying cows (or maybe just the same one over and over), and an original song by Sammy Hagar-era Van Halen.

Bonus: Signs (2002)

Good Boys Gone Bland ·

2025/01/07

WE'RE BACK. Sort of..... Jace was out of town so Ryan and Denali decided to "swing away" into a review of SIGNS (2002). We believe this decision will bring peace and unity to 2/3rds of the GBGBs brand as this movie brings aliens for Ryan and M Night Shyamalan for Denali. This was the movie that brought crop circles back into the monoculture while scarring an entire generation of children forever with a simple camcorder birthday party scene. Ryan and Denali also get into it re UFOs, the mindset of
