This is time for another whole show.
Number 479 as we go our way towards another milestone that will be coming very, very soon.
Welcome.
My name is Rob.
I am the Executive Producer of the Clubhouse Podcast and as my review opens on our website,
I was 11 for a whole year once and 12, too.
Let's go around the day sitting in the co-host chair is the lady of the house, who was
never an 11 year old or 12 year old boy.
She is General, welcome friend.
Hello everyone.
Thank you for joining us again.
Running out the day is the official fact checker of sooner or greater productions.
And a man that I would venture to say was very mischievous as a young man because he's
a very mischievous as an old man.
You may know him as a boonoo but his mama named him Don Ford.
I'm gonna call him Don Ford.
Hey brother.
Me and firecrackers and kids put that all together in Wyoming, in Montana also, yeah.
Water balloons, you're still alive.
Yeah and I have all my limbs and fingers which is scary.
I've surprised to even have all those.
Allegedly.
Hey first thing though.
Tomorrow I got to do this.
Tomorrow is the Fantastic Faith Fords birthday.
The day after we record this.
Yes, yes.
August 15th is your wife's birthday so happy birthday to Faith.
Got to say hi.
Happy birthday to my sweetheart.
Got to spend a little bit of time with her before the screening last night.
Always an absolute honor and pleasure to hang out with her.
And she won't hear this till her birthdays but I got her a DSW gift card in the bathroom
body works just gift card for the new tub.
So she could get some like the foo foo stuff for the soap for the.
I'm trying to be good.
I try to be good husband.
I don't need to know these things.
Okay.
The Empire doesn't need to know these things.
Okay.
But we love her.
We do one of these.
It is to review something and this is no exception.
Jean Stubnitsky.
I've been working on pronouncing that all day.
Good job.
He directs and he co-writes a brand new film called Good Boys.
For what starts this whole thing?
Yes, sir.
You have Mary Ann here.
But you're rock for the invite.
We love our vendors.
We love them.
They let us see movies and stuff early so we can talk to you guys about them.
And we saw this one quickly and she said, you know what?
Put it up tomorrow.
So we're going to do that.
So here's what you need to know.
Jacob Trembley, who you might remember and one of Don's favorite films.
He was the young man in room.
Not the room.
Room.
The one with the great Bri Larson.
People get those confused all the time.
Oh, I know.
Like, no, it's not the room.
It's room.
It's completely different movie.
Yeah.
He plays Max.
He is a boy who has just started the sixth grade.
And he has two best friends he's had since kindergarten.
Lucas played by Keith L. Williams and four played by Brady Noon.
They are known as the bean bag boys because they have bean bags.
They go on an adventure together because they're trying to fit in with the cool kids.
They find out that there is a kissing party.
And I think we all know what that means when you're 11.
And so they are trying to get themselves to this kissing party while all this other stuff
is going on.
And that's really, I mean, that's really as deep as I want to go because there's a lot
going on here, especially for a movie that's barely 90 minutes long.
The only thing I want to add is it's boys will be boys.
Yep, that's the best way to put in my written review at www.theclubhousepodcast.com
That's our website.
That's our website.
Oh, yeah, there's just a lot going on here.
And Will Forte plays his dad, which I'm always on board with.
I think there were parts of me because I know Seth Rogen was a producer on this.
There are parts of me that was like this could be a super bad prequel.
Interesting.
These three kids work so well together because what I put in my written comments that we
gave to the vendor afterwards was this is a really good story about kids at an age
where they're trying to find out who they think the world wants them to be versus who
they're supposed to be.
And I just really dug this film, but I'm going to be reviewing this a little bit differently
when we get to the final analysis.
That's called a tease.
Unfortunately, Don and I were not sitting together for this because the way the seating
was set up was a little bit different.
So Don was over to my left, over my shoulder until my left.
I'm not lying when I say I laughed hysterically multiple times.
There was a lot of people in that theater, like all the jokes were hitting.
There were moments that I know people that are like, I've done that.
Don feel free to chime in here.
I was like, I didn't know.
This is a discussion.
I didn't want to get your thought out.
I was watching this and he was going through my mind.
I really have no idea is if I was sitting next to you, there would have been about two
or three times where I would have looked at you and just gone, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
and these kids work really well together.
Like you really believe, I mean, I would say I don't want to tell our audience what
we're going to think, but I really felt like they would have been best friends since
kindergarten.
I mean, I need to translate what I get, it was that it was basically he's neither confirming
nor denying that he can identify with what's going on on the screen.
It's just like, I got nothing to say.
I just, I, not, not surprised by it, but enjoyed it.
And let's be there's because there's going to be people that are going to be like, they're
going to get an uproar because these kids are saying these things and they're using
because it's, this is language, a lot of language and a lot of sexual situations in this.
This is the way 11 year old kids talk to each other.
And if you think your kids aren't, you're lying to yourself.
But one of the things I noticed about this film is when we got in, because you know, when
we go into our screens, they have the big, like the picture of the poster on the screen.
This is the very first time, because you know how they say a movie is rated R because
of blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
This is the very first time that they have listed some of the material as, let me see, I want
to get the wording right.
Hold on.
And I forgot what was this?
Was this R or PG?
This is a brother.
Oh, yeah.
That's right.
You already beat your F bomb quotient.
Oh, yeah.
I forgot about it.
Yeah.
It says strong crude sexual content, drug and alcohol material and language throughout,
all involving tweens.
This is the first time that specific wording has been put on a film.
And again, you earn the, you earn the R rating longer than it took me to say in this sentence.
Yeah.
And you know what you're in for right off the bat.
Right.
I mean, and that's the age where you learn how to use those words.
Well, kind of.
I mean, you get it out of your system in inappropriate, not so proper ways.
And you learn, you start, that's when you're starting to learn that words have weight
to them.
They have meaning behind them.
So of course, you're going to have language with that crowd when they don't think there's
adults around because they think using those words is cool makes them seem grown up.
And they're learning how people react to those words.
So it's perfect.
I mean, it's normal.
It is like.
Oh, absolutely.
And what I loved about it too.
And Don and I both mentioned this in our written reviews was each one of them is coming
from a different place.
You know, Max is, is just what he wants to be one of the cool kids.
Lucas is dealing with some issues on his home front.
And Brady is trying not to be like, he loves to sing, but he doesn't want to be made
fun of for auditioning for the musical, which is a whole subplot in itself.
And I liked how they had that interplay between them.
And Keith L Williams has one of the most hilarious screens I've ever heard in my life.
Totally.
Now, the one thing I really want to add on this is first off, be careful and don't take
the kids to this one.
It's our for a reason.
And all I want to say is adult items.
Well, not that.
And it would like me always like to talk about this show.
If you take the kids, you're going to have conversations in the car of the way home.
You don't want to have.
And I think a lot of kids, if they were to watch this, would have the same reaction as
the kids did in the movie to these certain adult items like at the kissing party in the
necklace.
That's all I want to say on that.
But no, no, no, that's all I have to say.
The thing is, which I loved about this is there are adult themes and the kids think they
know everything, which is like even me when I was young and dumb, way dumber, okay?
But these kids don't don grammar everybody because I'm always going to be young and dumb.
But I was way dumber then.
I've gotten a little smarter over time.
I like to say your grammar and syntax spot on.
We'll play nailed it.
The thing is, is that they think they know everything, but it shows the innocence of
not knowing a lot of adult items in the adult situations, adult everything.
It's just like they think they know it in the reaction and not knowing of what if they
knew what it was in reality, it would be a totally different story.
And that's what I love the innocence of this is growing up.
These are, it's a movie about relationships with the girlfriends, with the friends.
I think the biggest, greatest story about this is how these friends grow and they go
in, how do they choose their direction, but they want to still stay one way, but this
is life.
It's part of adolescence in finding out who you are and it's, it's well told.
If I've got to have a criticism though and I mentioned this in my written review, I felt
that the third act of it was really rushed.
Like the last 20 minutes, like I felt like you could have gotten another 10 minutes out
of it.
I want it to end it.
Yeah.
And it was still good.
It was still fun.
I still enjoyed it, but I felt like the end of it was just a little too rushed, but it
was still hilarious.
My only little gripe on this is the adult items, I think they took that a little too far.
If I had a gripe, I could see it, but I think all the way in Seth Rogan's involved, but
you kind of see where I, where that totally, because I even, it may have run its course
a little bit, but I love this is just kids in today growing up.
It's a simple story where one thing leads to the another.
Boys will be boys and they show it in a great way.
So with that said, and I know you're saying, you know, parents, beware, but if someone
is a parent of a teen, again, you're going to have conversations you don't want to have.
No, but I'm saying, and their kids really want to see it, the parent needs to go see
it first.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
And then make that decision for themselves on what their kid's knowledge base is.
Okay.
I just clarifying that it's a, don't just say it's going to be a long time since until
I hear four and are the same again.
Oh, yeah.
And my thing was I was watching, I've made a couple points to look over you and see
you at Rob's laugh.
And what I mean by that thing from earlier words, like that was the last time that you
would hear me do that was in the happy time murders.
You kind of get the point where with the very adult thing, and there were, I hate to say
it.
Faith, there was a couple of times she didn't understand some of that.
Oh, absolutely.
I'm sure there's going to be some adults who may not understand some of this and kind
of well, huh?
Let me explain to you.
Well, um, it's okay point, yeah, there's a lot of it has been made.
All right, anything else going to talk about forgets the final analysis?
It was comedy throughout absolutely perfect timing, it did try up good comedy, was there
a watch check?
Yeah, 35 minutes for 90 minute, well, yeah, third of the way through, and now it's just
because I was curious.
It was because I was bored.
Yeah.
All right, the way we do the final analysis on the show, we're not going to give you thumbs
up, thumbs down, letters, numbers, drones, anything like that.
Two questions, question number one is, would we see this film again if the answers
know that we're done here?
But if the answer is yes, the follow up question is, how far would we be willing to go to see
it?
From the best of the best of the worst of the best, here's how it goes.
Full price at a theater, down to a twilight, down to a matinee, down to an early morning,
down to second one of the dollar theater, down to going and obtaining a physical copy, down
to streaming, down to cable, down for it.
Yes.
Would you see good boys again?
Oh, definite.
How far are you willing to go to?
My cash register, I loved it, coveted, either only had that one little gripe beyond that.
I loved it.
I'll have to all the way through.
Good.
Be careful.
Oh, absolutely.
Be careful.
Sir Rob.
Yes, ma'am.
Would you see this again?
Here's where it gets weird.
I don't know that I would go out of my way to see it again.
However, I would watch it again with a group of people who hasn't seen it.
Because I feel like, and I'm going to do one of these on.
I feel like I've seen what I need to see in this film, and I don't know that I would laugh
as hard the second time, but I would laugh watching other people react to the things
that I know that's going to happen.
So there's an exchange there.
I would go to a theater, but not by myself to see it again.
That's fair.
It is Gene Stupnitzky.
I probably got that right at least once.
You know what?
I'm thinking Gene Stupnitzky.
I know.
I know.
Not the same guy.
And it is good, boys, for this whole thing.
Yes, sir.
We got to think Mary Adam Rock, everybody, for the rest of us.
We love our vendors.
