Gael Boys

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.'

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...

In this episode, the boys try something new, both try to talk about a different movies they've watched on the off-time doing the show. Jordan talks about 'Tron: Ares' meanwhile Liam talks about 'A House of Dynamite.' Mostly just turns into us embracing the usual brand of doomerism you've come to expect. Also talk of the AI Bubble, how all world leaders seem to be installing themselves into power f...

In this episode, the boys wrap up Hellraiser and Halloween with the final seven direct to video/streaming films. Covering two decades of diminishing returns, low budgets and two sex criminal brothers at the center of it all.

In this episode, the boys embrace the spooky season with a retrospective on Clive Barker's 'Hellraiser' series. Starting this long walk in the wilderness with the theatrical entries. Which is where this series peaks early. Get comfortable, this is going to be a tough one! Also talk on the Saudis buying everything, American hopelessness, being queer in 80s England, and high praise for the greatest...

In this episode, the boys go full genre cinema and talk some John Carpenter. In this case his 'Escape from America' duology. One film utterly timeless and the other....not so much. Also talk about political violence becoming the new American fad, the urban decay of Reagan's America, the difference between 80s and 90s filmmaking and simple pleasures of a good action flick. 

In this episode, the boys welcome newcomer Eliot to the show to begin a deep dive on the Metal Gear series. Gaming's most political, strange and enjoyable series. Like spending way too much time with that friend whose way to into conspiracy theories. This episode will cover the first and second games, with 3, 4 and 5 to come at a later date. Also talk about an Israeli official getting caught in a...

In this episode, John returns to the show to breakdown 2025's Superman with the boys. The result is a messy, loud, yet rather hopeful look into what media might be in the years to come. Also talk of the famine in Gaza, Jeremy Corbyn's comeback into politics, Israel being the new bad guy in action movies and what superhero movies even mean in a darker, more nihilistic world. 

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 curren...

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...

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 impossibl...
