CN’s All the Right Movies: GOON!

We take a deep dive into Goon, the hockey classic starring Sean William Scott, famously know for being Stifler from American Pie - but this time as a very different character.

Jay Baruchel, who wrote the script, co-stars along with Liev Schreiber, Allison Pill, Eugene Levy and an unbelievable cast in this hilarious and underrated film.

You don’t need to be a hockey fan to enjoy this movie loosely based on the true story of eventual NHL enforcer Doug Smith. Goon takes you on Doug Glatt’s rise through the minors where you get to meet his lunatic teammates and coaches.

I can 100% guarantee laughs in this one & will probably crack on a few of the lines - especially the old play-by-play announcer’s outrage at the Canadian anthem being butchered by a Goth girl who thinks she nailed it. (“Well, that was borderline treasonous, and a disgrace yo our nation and its proud & storied history.)

And that’s about as clean as it gets. Join us. 😈
