Gael Boys

New pod is out and this week Jordan is joined by long running guest John and new guest President of the Glasgow Doctor Who appreciation society David Cherry to talk about the weird and sometimes contradictory politics of Britain's flagship sci-fi drama. We discuss fake news, failed attempts at white washing history, nazi metaphors and why Uncle RTD should stick to writing about himself.

In this episode, the boys celebrate spooky season with a look back on the Resident Evil film series. A two decade long odyssey of cultural changes, bad special effects and how it closes mirrors the video games that inspired it with it's ups and downs. Also talk of the third anniversary of October 7, the cultural wasteland that was the 2000s, looming economic collapse and how vulgar auteurism won t...

In this episode, the boys return to Star Trek and cover the Obama era of movies from 2009 to 2016. The result is so underwhelming we barely talk about them. Instead how the entire early 2010s media landscape must be revaluated as soon as possible. Also talk of the breakup of the UK, the plight of the Yemenis people, Recession-core media and how Star Trek no longer feels relevant in a post American...

In this episode, the boys are once again joined by American correspondent Snel to cover the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and talk about the 2012 oddity 'Zero Dark Thirty.' A movie that both works a time capsule for when it was made, while also working as a preview for the last decade plus of foreign policy. Also talk of Charlie Kirk's legacy as a meme, how America paid for it's excesses with debt, Oba...

In this episode, the boys return for more Star Trek and nostalgic wanking with 'The Next Generation' run of films. We walked into this one feeling good, and left only liking one of the four we have to talk about. Things only get worse from here. Also talk of Trump's increasingly bizarre day to day activates, the saga of the USS Abraham Lincoln, the slow death of 1990s optimism and how it set the s...

In this episode, the boys buckle in for another long-form series with Star Trek.  Covering the movies from the six films cannon to the original series. Warts and all. Also talk of the never-ending war in Iran, the delusional mindset of our elite class, how the economy of television changed for the worst, and how it all ties into the collapse of the west's creature comforts. 

In this episode, Jordan takes Liam on a journey through time and space by discussing the bizarre yet enjoyable Doctor Who tv movie. The bois discuss the wilderness period, franchise fatigue and Lindsay Grahams ladybugs.   Lindsay Grahams closet history: https://www.distractify.com/p/lindsey-graham-ladybugs-meaning   A more in-depth look at Doctor Whos wilderness years: https://youtu.be/C6L_ElmMWQI...

In this special political edition of Gael Boys, Jordan is joined by fellow britbongs John and Eliot to discuss the rise and fall of Sir Keir Rodney Starmer. We discuss his numerous own goals, minor vs major corruption, Peter Mandelsons malignant influence on British politics and ultimately what Sir Keir will be remembered for.

In this episode, the boys try to get hip with modern culture by covering one of 2026's biggest cinematic sensations. Kane Parsons' Backrooms. A great horror film in it's own right. But also works as a commentary on decades of consumerism and capitalist greed have created the ultimate depiction of hell on earth. Also updates in the endless stalemate war in Iran, the guarantied rise of the West's an...

In this episode, the boys close out pride month with a palate cleanser from last week's show, John Cameron Mitchell's 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch.' A combination of rock opera, out of control vanity project and underground late 90s to early 2000s indie filmmaking that's loved world wide, yet we are a little more mixed unfortunately. Also talk of 1960s communism, the strange world the musical as a g...

In this episode, the boys celebrate Pride Month the darkest way possible. By talking about Gregg Araki's 2004 masterpiece 'Mysterious Skin.' A very hard movie to watch, and even harder movie to degust. Buckle up for one of the harshest episodes we've ever done. Also talk of the predator's sixth sense, the ways different people deal with trauma and how most normal people only care about the sufferi...

In this episode, the boys close out New Vegas proper by returning to the Amazon television show's second season, a fair more fleshed out and more New Vegas coded entry. Maybe video game adaptions can be good after all? Also talk of how CEOs have replaced government, the self destructive nature of American Era of Stagnation, and the Sham Wow Guy's attempt to run for office.  

In this episode, the boys return to the world of video games and Todd Howard to cover the best of the Fallout series, because he had nothing to do with it. Fallout: New Vegas. A game all about the end of the world and how to have the best time while everything falls apart, also giant bugs! Plus talk of some of our favorite 2010s video games and cultural trends, the vast amount of content this game...

In this episode, the boys go full Monster Energy chud and cover the 2009 flop 'Gamer.' The peak of dumb guy satire and the fact by total accident, is probably going to be massive cult favorite in the years to come given how stupid everything is the 17 years since it's release. Also talk of UK elections, how everyone wants to kill the American president, the failed promises of modern technology and...

In this episode, the boys sink their teeth into one of the 21st century's greatest dystopian texts, 'Children of Men.' Both the 2006 film and the 1992 book, and while both capture very different tones, styles and themes. They feel even more relevant and horrifying of our 2026 reality. Also talk of the ongoing war/oil crisis, mid 2000s genre cinema, zombie liberalism and trying finding something to...

In this episode the boys honor the life of action star and internet meme Chuck Norris, taking a look back at his filmography, his awful politics and political endorsements, and how he's crucial in creating the baby boomer made hell we all live in now. Also updates on Iran, the visionary mind of Menahem Golan and how modern conservatism can't have any fun unlike their 80s counterparts.  Further Rea...

In this episode, the boys welcome back Snel on to the show to talk about the political action epic 'One Battle After Another.' The culmination of Paul Thomas Anderson's career as a filmmaker, the looming collapse of American society and with it and trying to find hope in the darkness. Also talk of the war in Iran, how art continues to be worth less and less under techno capitalism and how revoluti...

In this episode, the boys take a quick detour to small town America to cover the recently released 'Return to Silent Hill.' Maybe one of the worst movies we've ever covered on this show, and one you should most definitely watch. Also talk of nostalgia for shitty mid 2000s horror movies, speculate on how this thing turned out so bad and how it's the perfect starting point for 2026 as a whole. 

In this episode the boys celebrate their one hundredth episode milestone by covering someone more strange up than they could ever be, Yukio Mishima. A man known for his writing, even more known for his very public death. But we try to figure him out it all with his own words, our theories on what made him tick and review the excellent Paul Schrader biopic on him to color in the blanks. Also talk a...

In this episode, the boys (including returning guest John) head back to the world of Pandora for James Cameron's action packed and extremely horny 'Avatar: Fire and Ash.' A grander film than anything that's come before it, but also lacking in some aspects. Somehow becomes one of the more divisive films the boys have talked about. Also talk on America's return to Manifest Destiny, the continued dis...

In this episode, the boys welcome Aaron on to the show and return to the insanity of Hideo Kojima with Metal Gear Solid 3 & 4. One is arguably a masterpiece, the other a self indulgent, celebration of excess that caps the series off perfectly. Also updates in the world of American oligarchy, how the gameplay and tech jumps from the PS2 to the PS3 effected the series, and us still trying to fig...

In this episode, the boys ring in the new year with their annual top 5 favorite movies of the year. That range from Irish vampires, horny military officers, small town America being evil and much more madness. Also talk of our favorite news stories of the year, the dire state of American cinema and what fresh hell awaits us in the new year. 

In this episode, the boys celebrate the holiday season by dissecting and trying to understand Kirk Cameron's 2014 lump of coal 'Saving Christmas.' Met with laughs and jeers when it was first released, but now ten years later with hindsight being 20/20, now serves as a look into the mind and practices of this type of garish religious thinking that took over the United States. Also talk of awful 90s...

In this episode, the boys go back to a much more racist and bloody time in late 1980s Africa to review the forgotten and deeply problematic action flick 'Red Scorpion.' A movie backed by everyone from disgraced American lobbyists, members of the Apartheid government of South Africa and mass murderers working for both intelligence agencies and military death squads. Very nasty stuff in this episode...

In this episode, The boys welcome Snel back to the show in order to talk about the recently departed vice president and sadistic war criminal Dick Cheney. Let's just say everything bad we are dealing with now, is all because of him. Also talk of Zohran Mamdani's rise, the long term damage Bush Jr's presidency did to American psyche, some movies about that period of history and comparing America's...
