We rate Good Boy, salvage a lost recording, and settle into a dog’s-eye horror that hits harder than slashers. Between bourbon, Pineapple Express, and hallway dread, we trace empathy, ownership, and why silence can be the scariest instrument on the board.
• rating the categories: acting, cinematography, score, story, rewatchability
• dog-as-protagonist and sensory POV through scent and silence
• empathy for innocence vs desensitization to human death
• the fox image, ghost retriever, and metaphor of illness
• long hallways, patience, and when silence works
• responsibility of pet ownership and listening to warning cues
• alternate cuts: guard dog vs retriever, how the plot changes
• shoutouts to listeners, Blade debate, and Air Bud jokes
“Thanks to our newest listeners in Springfield—Cadarius, this one’s for you. Cheers to Air Bud and to every nepo baby burning in hell—respectfully.”

She's in Once Upon a Time.
That's right.
SPEAKER_04 (03:00):
Yep.
She was in some good shit.

SPEAKER_02 (03:04):

because Jesus Christ.
God damn it.
SPEAKER_01 (03:10):
Ah, and then I gotta Oh my god.
SPEAKER_04 (03:15):
This is a nightmare.
Hi guys, welcome to High andDry.
We're talking about Good Boytoday.
James, what are you smokingtoday?
Thanks, Ryan.
I'm smoking Kim Dog on theme,baby.
How about you, Luke?
What are you smoking?
I'll do it again.
SPEAKER_06 (03:34):
Pineapple Express.
Ooh, everybody on the PineappleExpress.
SPEAKER_04 (03:39):
All aboard.
Ryan, what what do you got overthere?
What are you drinking today?
SPEAKER_01 (03:45):
I'll be working with Knib Creek, Kentucky Straight
Bourbon, uh nine aged years.

SPEAKER_01 (03:54):
Oh, 50 50 horsepower, baby.
SPEAKER_02 (03:57):
30 bucks is gonna get the job done.
That's what it's all about.
Who doodie?
SPEAKER_04 (04:04):
I prefer I'm usually a fan of Dick Stream, but I
guess knob creek will suffice.
SPEAKER_02 (04:11):
Who doesn't love a good dick stream?
So, all right.
So we're not actually gonna betalking about whatever the fuck
we were talking about.
Instead, what we're gonna betalking about is the film Good
Boy.
And we're gonna break it downinto a three-part method, all
right?
Number one, as usual, fuckFandango, fuck Netflix, fuck all
(04:33):
the places that do the thing.
All right.
SPEAKER_04 (04:36):
What we're gonna do is so much more aggressive this
time.
SPEAKER_01 (04:40):
It was far less aggressive the first go around.
We've been drinking, baby.
SPEAKER_02 (04:46):
So we're gonna break it down and we're gonna figure
out first the best method.
All right, it's gonna make allthose other people go fuck
themselves.
SPEAKER_06 (04:55):
For a movie rating to be clear, everybody.
I don't know.
SPEAKER_01 (04:57):
Yeah, for a movie to be clear.
It's a movie rating.
Just everybody.
Just fuck everybody.
Fuck everybody.
We're gonna give you five starsand we're gonna tell you how
good this fucking movie is.
Alright?
SPEAKER_02 (05:10):
And then when we're done with that, we're gonna jump
onto the golden path.
That's a Dune reference forthose of you who haven't caught
up yet.
And um, we're gonna dive intothe deeper concepts of this
film, which is where we werewhen we started drinking in the
first place.
And then finally, we're gonnainsert ourselves, drugs, or
(05:30):
alcohol into the film, and it'sgonna be so special and magical.
We're gonna do all that drinkingthat James mentioned earlier.
So just to make it up to thefolks at home, boys, line up
your shots.
Let's do this.
SPEAKER_04 (05:46):
I'm so high.
I'm so high.
One more time.
And also for people who didn'tknow for this.
For people who didn't know, weused the golden path before the
Dune movie came out.
That was that was a segmentbefore, I think.
I can't remember.
SPEAKER_02 (06:03):
Yeah, we did.
We did for sure.
We did for sure.
SPEAKER_04 (06:06):
Um, it was actually a We definitely referenced it on
this podcast well before themovie.
SPEAKER_02 (06:10):
Well, we started referencing the Golden Path back
when we were doing versusmatches between fictional
characters.
SPEAKER_03 (06:17):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (06:18):
Um but anyway, this this toast, this shot, this hit,
this one goes out first to ournewest listeners who are in
Springfield.
Uh Kadarius, my boy, he had aproblem with our Blade film.
Um, it also goes out to all thefucking listeners we've had this
month.
SPEAKER_04 (06:33):
Thank you so much.
Oh, yeah, Kadarius didn't get afull up didn't get a full thing.
We're rushing through it now.
But we did a whole thing wherewe were like, no, no, Blade is
actually a good film becauseRyan in a previous episode had
some shit to say.
What was the Ludic statement?
SPEAKER_02 (06:51):
You can't just buffy fucking vampires.
We have a rib cage.
That's not how it works.
You can't just shove wood intohearts, all right?
And then Kadarius' argument wasthat strong.
And like, yeah, I agree thatBlade is super strong, but at
the same time, vampires aresuper strong.
Also, he shouldn't be able torip apart a nightclub.
(07:13):
But at the same time, thatnightclub was a canon event for
me as a young man.
It awoken some a lot of sexualfantasies for me involving blood
and but anyway.
Wesley Snipes and Wesley Snipes,yeah, and very, very strong
black men with biceps.
So here's to black men withbiceps.
Cheers.
Cheers in a respectful way.
(07:37):
Respectfully, respectfully,respectfully, it's hot as fuck.
Oh my god.
This is gonna be a wild episode,people.
Uh so for those of you who hadlistened to us before, buckle
up.
Um, we fucked up the recordingand we decided just to restart
the recording.
We're talking today about goodboy, as was already stated.
(08:00):
First off, let's jump into thisrating.
SPEAKER_04 (08:06):
Go slow, Ryan.
Oh no, that's just coke, isn'tit?
SPEAKER_02 (08:10):
Yeah, it's all my coke.
SPEAKER_04 (08:11):
Okay, okay.
SPEAKER_02 (08:12):
Um drink more.
You need sugar.
SPEAKER_04 (08:14):
You get the sugar because you're kicking off,
because you were the mostexcited about this movie.
As Luke said last time, I'mjumping in, I'm stealing it, I'm
pipping it.
We're going forward.
SPEAKER_02 (08:26):
The problem is I'm drinking Coca-Cola zero sugar.
SPEAKER_06 (08:31):
Oh no.
SPEAKER_04 (08:32):
It's just gonna make you just it's just gonna
activate your insulin.
You're gonna start producinginsulin, and you're gonna go to
sleep.
SPEAKER_02 (08:40):
Hasn't happened once yet when I'm an alcohol.
So uh anyway, look, at the endof the day, alcohol is the only
thing that stops a shakes.
So people tell me it's on.
SPEAKER_04 (08:49):
Oh, I just I meant the I meant the fake sugar in
your coke.
It activates your insulin.
Did you guys not know aboutthat?
Fake sugar, so it it so it whenyou drink fake sugar, your body
actually thinks that that you'reconsuming sugar, and so it'll
produce insulin to counteractthat sugar, but if it doesn't
(09:10):
have sugar to produce, it makesyou tired.
SPEAKER_02 (09:13):
I thought you were talking about the coke that I
had ingested in the bathroombefore this episode.
SPEAKER_04 (09:20):
Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_02 (09:21):
No, no, that's fine.
Okay, that's fine for you.
Okay, cool.
Yeah, so alright, so after thatbump, so let's talk about Good
Boy.
Fantastic film for me.
Like, and this is so hardbecause we just fucking talked
about this, but you know, theshow must go on.
So for me, and this might beinteresting for the three of us
(09:42):
at least.
Let's see how our scores changeshot to shot.
SPEAKER_04 (09:49):
Oh, yeah.
Do you still have our old scoresrecorded, Luke?
Yeah, I do.
SPEAKER_02 (09:53):
Yeah, so don't look at them, Luke.
Yeah, don't look at them.
Let's see how let's see howaccurate our score is.
Well, it's 100% accurate.
100% accurate.
SPEAKER_04 (10:06):
Well, whatever we say is right.
SPEAKER_02 (10:08):
So for but maybe we need a little bit more alcohol
to get to the truth of it.
So, for me, acting, I thoughtthe dog was incredible.
Indy was incredible, um, and andthey explained to us later on
what was happening, and I agreewith that and everything like
that.
But at the same time, I thinkthat the effort that was put
(10:31):
into this acting um pushed itover the edge.
Like, if you're a dog owner,there were moments where you
could see, like, oh, he likehe's curious, he's not scared.
Like, obviously.
SPEAKER_05 (10:45):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (10:45):
But that, but that that's to that's not to a
layman.
Um, that's to someone who hasbeen around dogs since they were
young or who is experienced withdogs.
And uh I've found in my in myexperience with uh my newest dog
right now is an American Akita,um, who's a fucking insurance
(11:08):
hazard.
Um, not everyone picks up ondog's cues.
SPEAKER_03 (11:13):
That's interesting.
SPEAKER_02 (11:15):
Not everyone picks up dog on dog's cues, and not
everyone's parents have taughtus that hey, don't just go
petting a random dog and don'tput your face in a dog's face.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (11:29):
So if you aren't aware of what a dog is, if you
were born in a cat family or afrog family or a lizard family
or a parrot family or whatever,or just you know, I learned
there's families that just thinkpets are disgusting, and they do
living with any animals is agood idea.
SPEAKER_02 (11:47):
Yeah, and those people are sociopaths.
Um, and so if you're not one ofthem, um the acting on this, I'm
giving a 4.5, and the onlyreason I drop it from a five is
because the humans in this filmthey kind of I don't know, they
forgot how to act, in myopinion.
SPEAKER_04 (12:08):
They were all props, is how I saw it.
You know, I explained this lasttime, of course.
But I thought that they were allprops, but that was their job.
Their job wasn't to be an actor.
It's like the way dogs areprops.
He was just supposed torepresent sickness, that's what
all he was meant to do.
SPEAKER_02 (12:23):
Yeah, but there were the moments.
SPEAKER_04 (12:26):
In a normal movie, the dog we wouldn't think about
dog as an actor.
SPEAKER_02 (12:30):
Exactly.
But there were just momentswhere Todd's acting kind of
like, what?
That's not what you'd say.
Um, and it and it bothered me.
So 4.5, but not enough to makeit a three or anything like
that.
A 4.5, that's near perfect.
SPEAKER_03 (12:47):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (12:48):
Cinematography, in my opinion, it it evoked a sense
of dread throughout.
I was worried the whole timeabout fucking indie.
I I was worried about Todd even.
And uh the cinematography drewme in.
I I loved the angles, I loved uhlike I loved the hallways.
SPEAKER_04 (13:11):
Yeah.
Yeah, the the 30 minutes ofstaring down hallways.
I love that it's really sweetthat you that you worried about
Todd.
SPEAKER_02 (13:21):
I did, I did, because I saw Todd as me.
And I instantly worried about ifI got sick, how would Remy feel?
Um, I shouldn't have said hisname because he might attack me
during the podcast.
He'd probably eat you.
Yeah, yeah.
If you died, he'd eat you.
When we get to part three, goddamn it, he saw me.
(13:43):
Um when we get to part three,it's gonna be a totally
different story.
I don't own a retriever, I own aguard dog.
You don't own a good circle ofboy.
He's a good boy.
Um I love him to death.
But uh cinematography, I'mgiving a five.
It was unique, it was new, itbrought me there, it made me
(14:05):
emotional.
I fucking loved it.
Um the score soundtrack, it uh,like I said, it is not John
Williams, it's not a Star Wars,it's not like I'm not gonna hear
the good boy soundtrack and go,holy shit, it's good boy.
But they knew when to shut itoff, they knew when it was
(14:29):
needed.
Um, I felt it was very wellutilized, and for that I'm gonna
give the soundtrack a four.
Um, story and plot.
I, you know, it like we've hadCygna stories before, but it's
never been from the perspectiveof the dog.
It's never been from aperspective of someone who is so
(14:51):
dependent on us, and someone whois so um helpless.
SPEAKER_04 (14:57):
Like if we often don't get protagonists who can't
speak and also and also can'treason.
SPEAKER_02 (15:06):
Yeah, and and so um, so while the story and plot
like, was it Godfather?
No.
It was better than theGodfather.
So for that, I give it a 5.5.
Um for that I'm gonna give thestory and plot a four.
Um, I'm gonna give the story andplot a four.
Um, just because it was a verystrong story told from the
(15:27):
perspective of someone that wedon't usually anticipate.
And I I thought there was a lotto be said here, and it
definitely did like I mean, likeLuke said in the previous
episode that we'll never airbecause we uh something
happened.
We'll never get to know.
Like, I will always look at thismovie and like ask questions
(15:49):
about like, am I a good dogowner?
Was Todd a good dog owner?
Fuck no.
No, um I'm I'm sure that'sdealing with illness, yeah.
But I'm sure the actual Todd isa good dog owner.
Like, obviously, he spent threeyears just playing with his dog.
So honestly, he's probably oneof the best dog owners, if for
selfish purposes.
(16:10):
But uh for that, I give storyand plot a 4.5.
Um and then finally,rewatchability.
No, I'm not watching this atChristmas uh at Christmas.
Uh I'm not uh but if someoneasks me if like hey, you seen
Good Boy and they haven't seenGood Boy or whatever it is, I I
(16:32):
know when it comes out on astreaming service I will see it
again.
Um so for that I I give therewatch ability I give it a
three.
Give it a three.
SPEAKER_04 (16:41):
Nice.
I, you know, for what it'sworth, we are now, Luke and I
are now very quiet.
I think I wonder if we might betoo high.
SPEAKER_06 (16:52):
I'm pretty fucking high.
SPEAKER_04 (16:55):
I wonder if we might be too high to be entertaining.
We did a we did such a good joblast time.
SPEAKER_06 (17:03):
Dude, I'm just staring at Ryan right now.
I'm not gonna lie.
I wish you didn't say anything Ididn't notice until you just
said something.
I was just fucking like, Ryan, Iwas locked in on you that whole
time.
SPEAKER_01 (17:14):
Look, this is gonna be the episode.
This is gonna be the episodethat like this is what it looks
like, baby.
This is real.
All right, this is real.
SPEAKER_04 (17:25):
We usually get the scores out before we're blasted.
Acting, I'm gonna rush throughit.
I'm just gonna rush through it.
SPEAKER_01 (17:31):
Yeah, rush, rush, baby.
SPEAKER_04 (17:33):
Acting, I thought they did a really good job.
I actually thought the you know,I the you guys said the owners
would had some dumb scenes orbad lines or stuff.
I thought it was okay for whatthey were there for.
They're like the owner was likean even though he was central to
the plot, his acting was like anextra in the movie.
Uh and I think acting yeah,yeah.
He was great, he was a great, hewas prop plus.
(17:55):
And and I think Indy did areally good job.
There were just and and I'm youknow, I think that those scenes
where Indy was not was notjuxtaposed correctly for horror
took me out of the film, and Ithink they should get that dog
in some fucking acting classes.
(18:18):
Come on now.
So 4.5 for acting,cinematography.
Uh I am going to I loved the chI loved the follow scenes.
Uh the scenes where we likefollowed Andy up the stairs.
Agreed.
The scenes where we likefollowed him outside, and I feel
like I feel like um the directorkind of saw like this trend
(18:43):
coming where we've gotten reallygood five follow scenes lately,
like in weapons, where they'rewhere um where they followed on
the skates.
That that follows yeah, weaponswas the had awesome follow
scenes.
And uh, I think this directorlike had been filming getting
ahead of that, and like whereindie went through the woods, uh
(19:04):
just great, greatcinematography.
And I I also loved his dreams.
Yeah, his dreams were good.
I loved when he put his head inthe log.
I liked that.
Yeah, and so that was that wasgood cinematography.
We learn later it's fox eyes,and it's like, and we learn that
Indy is like perceiving theworld through scent, and the
(19:25):
only way for us to get that ishe has visuals related to sense,
and it's really interesting,very interesting.
Um, so cinematography gets afive score and soundtrack.
Oh man, I'm humming the good boymusic in the shower.
Uh oh, yeah, obviously.
(19:45):
The good boy title.
Good boy, good good indie has anightmare.
The reprise.
Uh no, score, I would say uh 3.5on the score.
I thought it was good.
Uh story and plot, I reallyliked the plot.
The plot, you know, for thosewho may have not seen it or, you
(20:07):
know, may want an explanation.
The plot was that an owner getsill uh with some kind of
congenital disease that causesthem to have to like collapse.
And lung disease.
It is, yeah, a lung disease.
And his dog is perceiving thatas like some uh uh supernatural
(20:30):
force in the house, like thespecter of this disease.
Um and and Indy is perceivingthat, and uh and yeah, that's
the plot.
And then eventually he probablydoes smell yucky, like sick
people don't smell greattypically just because they're
like not taking care ofthemselves necessarily as well,
and like like that's probablywhy he perceives him as like a
(20:51):
mud man, because it's like ohgross.
SPEAKER_03 (20:55):
Smell like shit, Dad.
SPEAKER_02 (20:57):
Like for me though, like I I I know I know going
into this that James, you'regonna perceive it as strictly
metaphor, but it's the ghostgolden retriever that it really
that's it was a twist.
SPEAKER_04 (21:13):
It was a twist where I was like, it was I thought it
was just the metaphor.
I I I got cued in pretty earlythat it was a metaphor.
The when the sister called andsaid, you know, uh, you know,
dogs are dogs perceive you knowillness and stuff like that.
And it's true, dogs can snifffor cancer and stuff.
Sometimes they do that.
SPEAKER_02 (21:32):
We should make that argument in part two.
SPEAKER_04 (21:35):
Okay, okay, okay.
But when the ghost dog camearound, that that got me again
because I was I thought it wasall metaphor.
And then an actual ghost dogswings doors open and shit.
SPEAKER_02 (21:46):
Yeah, like yes, a real ghost.
All right, we'll talk about thatin part two.
SPEAKER_04 (21:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But story plot, I'm gonna giveit uh 4.5.
And for rewatchability, I'm onlygonna give it a two because I
while I think this movie wasreally good.
I I just cannot.
I think if I was to watch thismovie at home, I would pick up
my phone so soon becauseeverything is like meth slow and
(22:12):
methodical, and seriously, if weif you timed it, half of that
movie would be looking downhallways where nothing is
happening.
Nothing is happening.
Is it half of it feel like halfbecause it's so grueling?
It's there were probably I thinkthere were like six extended
(22:33):
scenes where we are looking fromIndy's perspective down a
hallway where, and I have toreiterate, nothing happens.
I think they were over the show,a show like that's what dogs be
doing though, being creepy inour house, like fucking staring
down hallways and doing, dude.
SPEAKER_01 (22:53):
Yeah, they be doing.
It's creepy.
SPEAKER_04 (22:55):
I agree.
It was very effective in thetheater.
I love it.
But I do get what you I do getwhat you mean.
It was a lot.
It was a lot.
SPEAKER_02 (23:02):
If I rewatch obsessed, I'd rather have a dog
than a cat, and I'll tell youthat much.
And I'll bring that up in partthree.
I'll tell you that.
SPEAKER_04 (23:10):
So I wrote mine down, so I won't mess them up,
but you guys were off by 1.5from the first two.
SPEAKER_06 (23:17):
Oh shit!
SPEAKER_04 (23:18):
Yeah, uh, it was James.
You ended up giving the uh scoresoundtrack less, and then uh
Ryan, you gave the uh rewatchability a lot less.
SPEAKER_07 (23:30):
Okay.
SPEAKER_04 (23:31):
So that was that was not far off though, but I wrote
mine down, so I'm not gonna messthem up.
So I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_02 (23:37):
Okay, let's do it.
This might be more accuratebecause Siskel and Ebert never
got fucking wasted in thetheater.
unknown (23:48):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (23:49):
Well, they did, but but they also didn't write their
own reviews.
They fucked though, right?
That was like a thing.
SPEAKER_03 (23:55):
Oh yeah, absolutely.
SPEAKER_04 (23:56):
Yeah, oh yeah.
SPEAKER_03 (23:58):
Um they may never admit to well, well, one can't
admit to it, but the otherprobably will never.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (24:07):
Hate fuck.
SPEAKER_02 (24:09):
I'm letting Remy be in this one more just because
it's about dogs.
He's currently biting on myelbow.
I can't wait to bring him up inpart three.
Hey, Remy.
SPEAKER_06 (24:20):
I will yeah, I'll go ahead and and shoot off mine
then.
SPEAKER_04 (24:23):
My uh my acting, I gave a 4.5.
I thought it was really good,and but I do agree with James
that the um there were a couplescenes where in Indy definitely
had more of a curious look thana scared look, and for that
reason, I just couldn't give itum give it that full five.
Cinematography was by far myfavorite part of the movie.
I thought that um they reallyput you into the perspective of
(24:45):
a dog.
They they made me like Ryansaid, feel anxious like
consistently throughout themovie.
Um I I I really enjoyed it.
I thought it was really, reallyuh fresh, and I thought it was a
cool thing to do.
Again, such a unique idea that Ithink it comes through in all
the different categories.
Um but I think likecinematography, it really,
(25:07):
really shines.
So I gave it a five.
Um the score soundtrack I gave a3.5.
It it was good.
It like just didn't like itwasn't super memorable for me.
Like I wasn't um I did noticethat they used silence at times,
but I think that they were a lotof there was a lot of silence
because it was kind of in thosehallway moments.
(25:28):
Um and at times I was like, man,I I I need to c seriously make
sure I'm not breathing too loudin here.
The people next to me are gonnabe able to hear.
And for that reason, I didn'tlike it that much.
So I gave it a 3.5.
The story and plot I reallyenjoyed.
I thought it was cool.
Um, I'm not gonna lie, I like Iwas kind of at first like, what
(25:49):
the fuck is going on?
Mudman, and then I like then Ionce I understood the like
sickness and stuff, I I enjoyedit more.
Um, but at first I was kind ofcan confused.
It didn't pick up for me rightat right um right early on.
But I ended up giving the uhstory and plot a four.
Um, but I thought it was reallygood.
I thought it was a cool scarymovie, too.
(26:09):
I know, and I'm again, I'mprobably the most harsh critic
on scary movies, but I I Ireally enjoyed it.
Lately, I feel like a lot ofthese movies have come out with
something like very cool uhstory and plot-wise, which makes
me more into the like horrorgenre as a whole.
SPEAKER_02 (26:25):
It's giving me a solid point.
Yeah, giving me a less solidpoint, like with weapons and uh
yeah, and this and like and thelong road, which we also all
saw.
SPEAKER_04 (26:36):
The long walk, yeah.
And that you know, the thrillerstyle, but yeah, it's I feel
like they're really cool.
I and I really enjoyed this oneas well.
Um and then we watch a lot of alot of sorry, I think that a lot
of horror movies do a bad jobwith suspense.
You know, suspense is like asecondary thought.
And a lot of the movies thatyou've come the horror movies
you've come back and you've saidthat you like, it's about
(26:57):
suspense and not about the thenot about horror jump scares or
kills or whatever.
I always say my bit my leastfavorite thing about horror is
jump scares.
That's like my lead.
I am someone I pull me on mytoes, and I get that's kind of
the point of it, is to like getyou onto your toes, then yeah,
do the jump scare.
But the jump scare's not fun forme, like it is for other people.
(27:20):
So, like, but like a thriller,something that has me just like
on the edge of my seat, I I livefor it.
I really do like I feel likethey've done a good job.
Well, while still adding somejump scares, but not that I'm
just not so much where I'm like,oh my god, this is just like un
unpleasant.
It's like, yeah, you got I feeltruly like, yeah, you got me.
All right, all right.
That was like that was good.
(27:41):
So versus I've seen one of theparanormal activities that was
truly I've never seen somethingthat was just jump scare after
jump scare.
It's just like quiet, quiet,quiet, quiet, loud ass noise.
Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet.
Like it was truly just a um jumpscare movie.
So really cool, really cool tosee in general of some of these
directors coming out with these.
And then the rewatchability, Igave it 3.5.
(28:01):
I actually, it's a movie that Icould see myself watching again
just to enjoy the the camerashots, but I agree it is sad.
I don't see myself watching it alot.
But I that this is one I willwatch with somebody else at some
point.
100%, I know for a fact.
Somebody else is not gonna haveseen it or not gonna um and I'm
like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's watch it.
Because I like to enjoysomething, especially something
(28:23):
unique for the first time withsomebody, and I enjoy that.
So, like, and this is somethingI'd be like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
let's throw it on.
Like, you need to watch this,let's do it right now.
It's only 70, it's only 75minutes, an hour 15.
Like, we can knock this outright now.
Let's do it.
So, um, yeah, for that reason Igave it 3.5.
Solid.
SPEAKER_02 (28:41):
Alright, well, what did uh what did Good Boy wind up
with?
SPEAKER_06 (28:45):
Four out of five.
Um, which I solid really, reallygood.
SPEAKER_04 (28:50):
Especially for a dog, a movie where there's
almost very little dialogue andjust a dog.
Like, that's pretty shot on oneuh single camera.
I agree.
I agree.
I mean, and especially they wereonly able to work with the dog
for two hours a day.
Like, I can imagine the therehad to have been a point for the
team where they're like, fuck mygosh, are we really gonna keep
(29:11):
doing this?
Like, this is this is insane.
Like, you know, yeah,especially.
The team was two people.
It was that guy and his wife.
Really?
Is that it?
Is that all the things?
Yeah, that was it.
That was the team.
SPEAKER_02 (29:21):
It fucking paid off.
And and this is what happened.
You get a good film.
You get a good film when youstop casting your shitty
children in things.
SPEAKER_04 (29:32):
Uh I mean, Big William Bird kind of cast his
shitty child in this.
Yeah, that is true.
It did take three years to filmhis shitty child.
SPEAKER_06 (29:41):
Just because his dog was not a professional.
SPEAKER_04 (29:44):
Well, I mean, this was nepotism.
It worked out though.
Wow.
SPEAKER_02 (29:57):
That's true.
That's true.
All right.
Uh Golden Retriever.
Yeah, good boy.
It's nepotism at its finest.
Fucking.
SPEAKER_04 (30:08):
I recognize that I recognize that Golden Retriever.
He's a veteran in the game.
SPEAKER_06 (30:15):
Yeah, that's air fucking bud.
Are you fucking kidding me?
They gave him a he's a deadghost dog?
God damn it.
SPEAKER_02 (30:22):
Airbud gets a fucking dead ghost dog roll in
2025.
Fucking hell.
So uh what did this film wind upwith?
SPEAKER_06 (30:32):
He told you it's a four.
A four out of five.
You're so drunk.
SPEAKER_01 (30:37):
We've been drinking, folks.
We've been drinking.
Congrats.
Uh Air Bud, you got a four outof five.
SPEAKER_04 (30:49):
This is gonna be our worst episode.
We're this is gonna be short.
It's gonna be our worst episode,and it's gonna be real short
because we're gonna blow throughthese next portions.
SPEAKER_06 (30:59):
Because I have nothing for I need someone to
start off the golden pad, that'sfor damn sure.
SPEAKER_01 (31:04):
Well, we will, we will.
SPEAKER_02 (31:05):
So, but that being the case, it's time to get on to
the second portion of thispodcast and to the uh I guess uh
curmudgeon uh of my co-hosts.
Um, it's time to line up ourfinal shot, final toast, final
hit of the night.
This one this one goes out toAirbud.
SPEAKER_04 (31:28):
Cheers to Airbud.
So to all Hollywood's Nepobabies.
SPEAKER_02 (31:35):
To the Nepo babies.
You will all burn in hell.
Ah fuck.
I had a night plan tonight.
Jesus Christ.
All right, so all right.
SPEAKER_03 (31:52):
Yeah, uh, you can't do anything else.
I'm gonna go lay down on thecouch after this.
All right.
So who wants to kick off thisone?
SPEAKER_02 (32:00):
Yeah, so round two.
It's time to get on the goldenpath.
What are the deeper thoughts andfeelings of this film?
I'll start it off.
So for me, uh right away as athis this film hit me as an
animal owner.
I have owned creatures since Iwas a child.
(32:23):
And there are some when I wasnot ready to own creatures that
uh keep me up to this day.
You know, I I didn't, you know,because when you when you decide
to buy a creature, um, you stillhave a life.
But this creature, its life isall you, and it lives and dies
(32:46):
by your whims and what you wantto do in a given day, and all
that sort of thing.
And this film definitely broughtme to that, especially in the
scene, uh, like Luke, you weretalking about earlier, where um
Indy hops up under the chair andhe's looking out the window and
he's waiting for his owner tocome home, and there's just a
(33:07):
hard cut from day to night, andhe's just still sitting in that
chair.
Um, and that's our animals'lives.
Is watching time pass, waitingfor us.
And oftentimes we get so caughtup in our nonsensical bullshit
that we forget that there is anentire life dedicated to us.
SPEAKER_04 (33:33):
And I think that a lot of people need to understand
that before adopting dogs andbefore like going out and and
not just dogs, animals ingeneral, because I think that
there's so many people will getthese hamsters and get get
lizards of uh reptiles of ofsorts, and they they think that
it's gonna be an easy thing tojust like haha, cute fun.
(33:53):
No, this is like a fuckingliving being that you're taking
out of its normal habitat whereit it should be, and now you're
gonna have to take care of it,and you're gonna have to create
that habitat for it, and you'regonna have so for a dog, you
know, you have to give it theexercise, you have to give it
the the training and the thereward and all you know the
stimulation that it requires fora lizard.
(34:13):
You have to give it the climate,the heat, the the moisture to be
able to properly shed for youknow, and I think that people
don't do that.
SPEAKER_06 (34:21):
And it you know, a lot of animals pay the price in
the end.
It it is kind of crazy, yes,yeah.
SPEAKER_03 (34:26):
Yeah, people amen.
SPEAKER_04 (34:27):
That's a great point.
People need to understand thatanimals are stupid losers with
no lives.
SPEAKER_02 (34:41):
Well, just being the fact that our listeners are
generally stupid losers with nolives, imagine related to the
animal.
Yeah.
Imagine if you now had yourstupid fucking life controlled
by one individual and he keptforgetting about you.
SPEAKER_04 (35:04):
It'd leave for like the majority of your life.
SPEAKER_02 (35:07):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (35:08):
And you you didn't know how to get your own food or
whatever.
SPEAKER_02 (35:13):
You were just waiting on fucking stale meat
cereal that they give you.
SPEAKER_04 (35:19):
Yeah, but it's like the best shit ever to the yeah.
And then you get fucking I poura little warm water in it to
make a little bit of gravy forthe.
SPEAKER_02 (35:29):
I started buying um dog uh beef stock and I'll pour
it over the top.
And like I I I try and I try andaccommodate.
I try.
SPEAKER_04 (35:41):
Absolutely.
I do little bits of chickenbreast also.
Well, no, I just little crumbleof chicken breast on the meat
cereals.
SPEAKER_02 (35:49):
Well, I I find uh Remy and folks at home, you'll
meet him later.
Um, he enjoys um uh kosher hotdogs.
And uh have to be kosher.
They have to be kosher, or he'sjust not into it.
He's just not into it.
Um he comes out with his littlefucking hat and he just uh he
(36:12):
won't do it.
He won't do it.
Um so I I gotta make sure.
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (36:18):
Has this been blessed by a child of Judea?
SPEAKER_02 (36:24):
He'll sniff it and he can tell.
He can tell.
They have stronger noses than wedo.
They do.
And it wasn't, it wasn't.
So he won't eat Oscarmeyer.
He won't eat Oscarmeyer, it hasit has to be kosher.
SPEAKER_06 (36:39):
Um what were we talking about?
Golden Path of the movie GoodBoy.
I did have another thought, I thI think, I think.
SPEAKER_04 (36:51):
Um, and that is that in general, I feel like this
movie did not a lot of differentthings.
It's all from a differentperspective, and I think that
some of the things aren'tinherently that scary.
Um, and because they weren't, itwas disease, right?
But I mean it's people's empathyfor dogs, though, goes further
(37:11):
than their empathy for humans.
And I and I feel like that's acommon commonality in society in
general, but I feel like peoplefeel as scared as they do during
this movie because their empathyfor this dog is actually deeper
than what it would be for justanother teenager getting hacked
in half by Jason.
SPEAKER_02 (37:31):
That is a solid point.
SPEAKER_04 (37:34):
And it is it it's the same thing with babies, and
you can find this with peoplewho are like really
anti-abortion and stuff, wherethey give a lot more empathy to
unborn children and babiesbecause they are without sin.
It's like a dog is without sin.
A dog literally can't sinbecause it doesn't have enough
(37:55):
understanding of the world, andit's it's it's pure innocence,
and it's the same with likeunborn children and babies.
But once you start to gain anunderstanding of the world, you
have like your your informationabout the world informs your
actions, and that for andtherefore you are no longer
innocent.
And and this is a really commonthing in our culture, and I
(38:18):
don't fucking understand it.
Sure, protect protect innocence,but it's not worth more
consideration than any otherbeing just because it is
innocent.
But I think it does, and it'scommon, it is very common.
Yeah, I yeah, very especiallyfor I would say like you know,
mammal like pets, because I feellike that's like what people
(38:42):
like really um associate withlike deep emotion, I suppose.
SPEAKER_02 (38:46):
Yeah.
Well, I would just say, since Imean, as soon as we started
fucking making film, I mean,this is a this is a podcast
about cinema, um, we've beenslaughtering human beings, and
there reaches a point wherewe're just desensitized to it.
SPEAKER_00 (39:08):
Um so but Well, you can hear the justifications.
They're not innocent, right?
That's the justification thatthey're not innocent.
Exactly.
SPEAKER_02 (39:17):
Your average human being is not innocent.
We're all going to hell.
And it's gonna be a wild party,but until then, we gotta live
with each other.
SPEAKER_04 (39:28):
Well, and usually in the movie, they make some of
these characters hateable ingeneral.
They just like give themhateable personalities.
So it's even easier for us to belike, oh, thank god that fucking
guy died, or you know, yeah, itit they do it on purpose a
little bit.
SPEAKER_06 (39:41):
This one I'm like, please don't fucking let this
goddamn dog die.
SPEAKER_02 (39:46):
Okay, so it was within this uh I mean we're
we're entering the OctoberHalloween season, and just
recently I've had uh some peopleforce me to watch the scream
series.
And then all of a sudden I wasasked, Who's your favorite
character?
I'm like, Well, fucking noneof 'em.
(40:08):
I mean, these guys have point.
Yeah, they all suck.
I hope they all die.
SPEAKER_04 (40:15):
That's what that's what you that's why people go to
see screen movies, is to watchthe people.
SPEAKER_02 (40:19):
Just to watch people die.
But when you walk into Good Boy,all of a sudden, for the first
time in probably 30 years,there's a character where you're
like, please don't die.
I like I'm so used to peopledying.
SPEAKER_04 (40:35):
I get it in other movies as well, but this is this
one you definitely you feel it.
I um you definitely feel itdeeper, especially as a dog
owner.
Dog owners in general, I feellike you know, pull they're
pulling on the heartstrings ofthem.
SPEAKER_02 (40:49):
Well, and that's what I'm talking about.
We got uh the three of us were Imean, like Luke, you you're a
young millennial.
Like we grant you access to thecouncil, but you don't have the
rank of master, obvious.
Damn it.
SPEAKER_04 (41:04):
But um we're all right.
I thought we were a horizontallystructured organization.
I did not know there was ahierarchy.
SPEAKER_06 (41:13):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (41:14):
Look, it's I it's grant him we grant him a seat on
the council, but he does nothave the rank of master.
Um he he's essentially azillennial.
Um, but uh, but I mean, good forhim.
He's gonna outlive us.
SPEAKER_04 (41:29):
So uh but I I would say just maybe probably not
we're older, we can hold our wecan we get we get first come,
first serve in the jobs.
And when there's when there'sonly five jobs left, they'll be
held by the oldest people.
SPEAKER_02 (41:44):
That's also true.
Um, yeah, well, honestly, uh Idon't know.
But um anyone uh also this isRemy, but um the point I was
trying to make, uh I would sayjust like we we got used to
since the 90s, um, you know,since Jamie Kennedy was allowed
(42:07):
to have a career, that um thatwas a huge fumble.
He sucked.
Um he was pretty awful for theentire band.
He was allowed to have a career,and we wanted him to die, and so
that's what happened.
And now for the first time in 30years, we have a character that
(42:28):
we don't want to die because wehaven't been desensitized to
animal death.
SPEAKER_03 (42:33):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (42:34):
Can you imagine if they filmed this movie with
Jamie Kennedy instead of thedog?
From the perspective of JamieKennedy, yeah, yeah, and how
much you'd want Jamie Kennedy todie instead.
SPEAKER_02 (42:48):
And then I'm just questioning why this dude with
cancer owns Jamie Kennedy.
SPEAKER_04 (42:56):
Jamie Kennedy crawls between his legs and starts
slapping slapping his belly inhis face.
Like to the scene where the doggets like drug under the bed,
but it's Jamie Kennedy, justlike laying man that just gets
his like ripped under the bed.
I think we've naturally movedinto our third segment.
SPEAKER_01 (43:13):
I agree.
I agree.
Where Jamie Kennedy is at thefoot of the bed and we've made
it to the third part of thisfucking Jamie Kennedy.
Go fuck yourself.
SPEAKER_02 (43:24):
You ruined the mask.
Um, so um, we reach our thirdpart of this podcast.
It's now time to insertourselves drugs or alcohol into
the film good boy.
Fellas, how does it change?
Who'd like to kick this off?
SPEAKER_04 (43:42):
I would.
So sadly, um, what would happenis I would be Todd's friend.
All right.
So I would just be in thebackground of the shots.
Um, but we'd be like smoking.
But you'd be that hunter guy?
No, I might a differentcharacter, different guy.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
You'd be his only friend.
Yeah, his only friend.
Um, but I don't ever got a call.
SPEAKER_01 (44:03):
That's a solid point.
That's what I'm saying.
No one ever checked on him.
SPEAKER_04 (44:07):
His sister kept trying, and then he kept pushing
her away.
Yeah, well, I'm a persistentone, so I'd come over, I'd have
some flour with me.
You put it, you put a trackingdevice and Todd's car.
Yeah.
I found you.
In his urethra.
I already knew he had mentioneduh his childhood house to us
years ago.
I had I had remember.
We're lifelong friends, guys.
(44:29):
So that's great.
That's great.
It's in the urethra.
It's in the urethra.
Uh I did it with my tongueduring uh blow.
So um what are friends for?
What are friends for?
Right?
So so yeah, so I I'm going overthere and I actually end up
killing him earlier on accidentbecause I didn't know he had
(44:51):
lung disease, and I'm just like,bro, smoke this, it's gonna make
you feel better.
SPEAKER_06 (44:56):
Um, and he ends up dying faster um because he
actually also um destroys hislungs with with the smoke.
SPEAKER_04 (45:03):
But he goes out enjoying life a little bit more.
He never turns into the mud man.
Um, and Indy just is a good boy,and I take him when we're done,
and he never has to ghost dog.
SPEAKER_06 (45:14):
Um and it's just kind of like about a friend
taking care of a friend from adog's perspective, um, into his
deathbed and then taking thedogs for its new life.
SPEAKER_04 (45:26):
Oh, nice, gorgeous movie.
SPEAKER_06 (45:28):
Solid.
SPEAKER_04 (45:29):
I want to let you know, if that was the case, you
would be taking me along becauseI would be Indy.
SPEAKER_07 (45:37):
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (45:38):
Because I know that you got like you you said, Ryan,
that you like associatedyourself with the dog owner.
Like, I put myself in Indy'splace when I watched this movie,
and I was like, you know, if itwas me, I would have done a few
things differently.
Andy's a fucking moron.
SPEAKER_02 (45:56):
Let me tell you how I do it.
SPEAKER_07 (46:02):
Sorry.
SPEAKER_04 (46:05):
So here's what I do.
I would sleep 14 hours a day andit would be glorious.
SPEAKER_01 (46:14):
Hell yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (46:15):
It would be amazing.
I'd sit right by the door wherethe draft comes in right on the
crease, and it's like, and I'dsit there and I'd just I'd have
my nose facing it, and it wouldjust blow through my nose and my
little ear for and that's howI'd spend 14 hours.
I wouldn't give a shit aboutwhere this fucking dude was.
He pushed me off the bed onetime.
That's it.
(46:36):
And then and then you comealong, you kill him, and I get
to be your dog.
We go and have awesomeadventures.
We find that cool fox demon.
Uh we have a good time.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,wait, wait, wait.
SPEAKER_02 (46:49):
You just call it a fox demon.
Yeah.
So I'm not fucking crazy.
SPEAKER_04 (46:57):
What?
Whoa.
I I think it was supposed torepresent like death.
SPEAKER_02 (47:02):
But I saw the fox, and then there was the jump
scare.
I associated them as being thesame creature.
But then it turned out I was theonly guy who thought that way.
Did you also think the fox wasthe creature?
SPEAKER_04 (47:17):
No, I think the fox was an I think the fox was an
impression.
And that I mean in the movie, Ithink the fox was an impression
of a scent that that uh thatIndy picked up and then he
started associating that scentwith things.
That the there was the darknessof the eyes and the tunnel.
You know, it makes you know, yousaying that, you know, you
(47:38):
associating those things, maybe.
Maybe it was supposed to maybethe fox was dead.
Because I think that indie issensing dead things.
It was right by that fox trap,remember?
Like the guy had had a fox trapin that that's a solid point.
SPEAKER_02 (47:54):
It was a dead fox, it was a fox ghost.
Yeah.
That's a solid point.
So we can see any ghosts ofanimals.
SPEAKER_00 (48:03):
Damn.
SPEAKER_02 (48:04):
It's the it's the lingering podcast.
I'll tell you that much rightnow.
You know what I mean?
That's why we're better thanFandango.
SPEAKER_04 (48:11):
We skipped it on the golden path.
I just remembered it now.
But it it but dogs have a veryspecial thing that they can do
that humans can't.
They can't they have a sensethat travels through time.
Scent is time is a timetraveling sense.
It tells you something thathappened in that place hours
(48:31):
ago, days ago.
They mark the same spot over andover and smell the markings of
other animals, and they havelike a sense that travels
through time.
It's really interesting.
It does for humans too, though.
It's the sense is the strongestsense or smell is the strongest
sense connected to memories.
Like you have to say, there'stimes where you go in somewhere,
(48:53):
you smell something, you'relike, you know, transported to a
or transported to a house, likea childhood home.
Like I I've I've gone in andsmelled smells, and I'm like,
this smells like my friendKenny's house.
Like very specific smells.
I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_06 (49:11):
No, not a bad thing.
Not always a bad thing.
SPEAKER_04 (49:15):
But yeah, I I do think like that it happens for
humans as well.
SPEAKER_02 (49:20):
Yeah, that's true.
Good point.
Yeah.
Well, well, for me, the filmwould change indie.
I would be the sick guy, butindie would change.
Okay.
So for James is come.
SPEAKER_00 (49:39):
So my film would change.
Ryan's gonna change me.
My film would change.
SPEAKER_02 (49:45):
Come.
Come.
My film would change with thislittle dude right here.
Um turns out he's not an actor,and you can't get him to do what
you want.
Yeah, he's not an actor.
But this is Remy.
Remy.
Remy, his head is larger thanmine.
(50:07):
We're standing at the same placeright here, and he's a puppy.
Um, this dog right here is apuppy.
Um, he hasn't grown all the way,and he is a guard dog.
He has cost me hundreds ofdollars a month in insurance
because if he doesn't know whoyou are, he'll make you bleed.
(50:28):
Um, and so the film would changein that um when Remy starts
growling at something, um, I'mconcerned.
I'm not gonna just sit theregoing like Remy, go away.
I'm sick.
No, I'm like, fuck, Remy, do wehave a ghost?
Um and that's how the film wouldchange.
(50:49):
Um, is that my dog is a guarddog and uh Indy is a retriever.
And as soon as Remy's concerned,I'm concerned.
So in that scene where we'reworried about the endless
hallways that that uh Jamesdislikes, um, I'd be I'd be
(51:10):
fucking up out of the bed going,Remy, what's wrong?
SPEAKER_05 (51:14):
Um and there's no more hallways.
SPEAKER_02 (51:18):
Yeah, yeah.
No, it's I'd be like, Remy,what's what the fuck is wrong?
Um why are you freaking out?
You don't freak out.
Um and so that's how the moviewould change, is that I would be
a dog owner who actually listensto my fucking dog.
Um and that was the thing thatdrove me crazy about this movie.
(51:40):
That was like my one problemwith it, is that I don't know a
lot of dog owners who ignoretheir dogs as much as Todd
ignored Indy.
SPEAKER_05 (51:52):
He had lung disease, man.
Give him a break.
SPEAKER_02 (51:55):
I will not give him a struggling with health is I
will not give him a break.
He doesn't give a disease.
Any time that your cat, yourtoad, your dog is growling into
the shadows, you're like, whatthe fuck is in the shadows that
I don't see?
SPEAKER_04 (52:13):
I mean, unless you're just one too many times.
Unless you're passed out fromhaving lung disease.
SPEAKER_02 (52:19):
I mean, maybe, maybe.
I've never had lung disease, soI don't know.
But I could tell you this.
If my dog, and this is how thefilm would change, if my dog
were growling at the shadows, Iwouldn't be like, Remy, go to
bed, stop being stupid.
SPEAKER_01 (52:37):
I'd be like, Remy, kill what's in those shadows.
SPEAKER_02 (52:44):
And Remy would be like, Yes, sir, and he'd run off
into the shadows and murder thatfucking thing.
SPEAKER_01 (52:53):
Murder the ghost the ghost retriever.
I believe I believe that hecould pull it off.
SPEAKER_05 (53:01):
I would like for you to then be he your lung disease
to be healed, and then you guysgo on a paranormal.
You guys are a paranormalexecution doer that just go to
places and gonna just fuck likeghost creatures up.
SPEAKER_04 (53:14):
Yeah, you go to places and kill the
manifestations of illness ofsick people.
SPEAKER_02 (53:19):
I've owned terriers, I've owned bulldogs, I've owned
toy dogs, uh like I've owned allthe dogs, and uh I would not put
up anything against a scarf dog.
SPEAKER_05 (53:32):
You want a disease healing dog now.
SPEAKER_02 (53:36):
I I think he'd pull like he wouldn't cure my
disease, but I wouldn't have toworry about ghosts, I tell you
that fucking much.
SPEAKER_05 (53:46):
The ghost is the disease.
SPEAKER_02 (53:49):
The ghost is the disease, and uh yeah, for me,
Remy would fucking fuck thatthing up.
So uh well, um well folks, thereyou go.
SPEAKER_05 (53:58):

SPEAKER_02 (53:59):
That calls it.

SPEAKER_01 (01:05):
It's not the first time we've lost an episode.

She's very funny.
She was in not another teenmovie, apparently.
SPEAKER_03 (02:54):
I don't know who she was in that one.
She's in Once Upon a Time.
That's right.
SPEAKER_04 (03:00):
Yep.
She was in some good shit.
I like her.
SPEAKER_02 (03:04):
Well, we're not actually gonna be doing that
because Jesus Christ.
God damn it.
SPEAKER_01 (03:10):
Ah, and then I gotta Oh my god.
SPEAKER_04 (03:15):
This is a nightmare.
Hi guys, welcome to High andDry.
We're talking about Good Boytoday.
James, what are you smokingtoday?
Thanks, Ryan.
I'm smoking Kim Dog on theme,baby.
How about you, Luke?
What are you smoking?
I'll do it again.
SPEAKER_06 (03:34):
Pineapple Express.
Ooh, everybody on the PineappleExpress.
SPEAKER_04 (03:39):
All aboard.
Ryan, what what do you got overthere?
What are you drinking today?
SPEAKER_01 (03:45):
I'll be working with Knib Creek, Kentucky Straight
Bourbon, uh nine aged years.
SPEAKER_04 (03:51):

SPEAKER_01 (03:54):
Oh, 50 50 horsepower, baby.
SPEAKER_02 (03:57):
30 bucks is gonna get the job done.
That's what it's all about.
Who doodie?
SPEAKER_04 (04:04):
I prefer I'm usually a fan of Dick Stream, but I
guess knob creek will suffice.
SPEAKER_02 (04:11):
Who doesn't love a good dick stream?
So, all right.
So we're not actually gonna betalking about whatever the fuck
we were talking about.
Instead, what we're gonna betalking about is the film Good
Boy.
And we're gonna break it downinto a three-part method, all
right?
Number one, as usual, fuckFandango, fuck Netflix, fuck all
(04:33):
the places that do the thing.
All right.
SPEAKER_04 (04:36):
What we're gonna do is so much more aggressive this
time.
SPEAKER_01 (04:40):
It was far less aggressive the first go around.
We've been drinking, baby.
SPEAKER_02 (04:46):
So we're gonna break it down and we're gonna figure
out first the best method.
All right, it's gonna make allthose other people go fuck
themselves.
SPEAKER_06 (04:55):
For a movie rating to be clear, everybody.
I don't know.
SPEAKER_01 (04:57):
Yeah, for a movie to be clear.
It's a movie rating.
Just everybody.
Just fuck everybody.
Fuck everybody.
We're gonna give you five starsand we're gonna tell you how
good this fucking movie is.
Alright?
SPEAKER_02 (05:10):
And then when we're done with that, we're gonna jump
onto the golden path.
That's a Dune reference forthose of you who haven't caught
up yet.
And um, we're gonna dive intothe deeper concepts of this
film, which is where we werewhen we started drinking in the
first place.
And then finally, we're gonnainsert ourselves, drugs, or
(05:30):
alcohol into the film, and it'sgonna be so special and magical.
We're gonna do all that drinkingthat James mentioned earlier.
So just to make it up to thefolks at home, boys, line up
your shots.
Let's do this.
SPEAKER_04 (05:46):
I'm so high.
I'm so high.
One more time.
And also for people who didn'tknow for this.
For people who didn't know, weused the golden path before the
Dune movie came out.
That was that was a segmentbefore, I think.
I can't remember.
SPEAKER_02 (06:03):
Yeah, we did.
We did for sure.
We did for sure.
SPEAKER_04 (06:06):
Um, it was actually a We definitely referenced it on
this podcast well before themovie.
SPEAKER_02 (06:10):
Well, we started referencing the Golden Path back
when we were doing versusmatches between fictional
characters.
SPEAKER_03 (06:17):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (06:18):
Um but anyway, this this toast, this shot, this hit,
this one goes out first to ournewest listeners who are in
Springfield.
Uh Kadarius, my boy, he had aproblem with our Blade film.
Um, it also goes out to all thefucking listeners we've had this
month.
SPEAKER_04 (06:33):
Thank you so much.
Oh, yeah, Kadarius didn't get afull up didn't get a full thing.
We're rushing through it now.
But we did a whole thing wherewe were like, no, no, Blade is
actually a good film becauseRyan in a previous episode had
some shit to say.
What was the Ludic statement?
SPEAKER_02 (06:51):
You can't just buffy fucking vampires.
We have a rib cage.
That's not how it works.
You can't just shove wood intohearts, all right?
And then Kadarius' argument wasthat strong.
And like, yeah, I agree thatBlade is super strong, but at
the same time, vampires aresuper strong.
Also, he shouldn't be able torip apart a nightclub.
(07:13):
But at the same time, thatnightclub was a canon event for
me as a young man.
It awoken some a lot of sexualfantasies for me involving blood
and but anyway.
Wesley Snipes and Wesley Snipes,yeah, and very, very strong
black men with biceps.
So here's to black men withbiceps.
Cheers.
Cheers in a respectful way.
(07:37):
Respectfully, respectfully,respectfully, it's hot as fuck.
Oh my god.
This is gonna be a wild episode,people.
Uh so for those of you who hadlistened to us before, buckle
up.
Um, we fucked up the recordingand we decided just to restart
the recording.
We're talking today about goodboy, as was already stated.
(08:00):
First off, let's jump into thisrating.
SPEAKER_04 (08:06):
Go slow, Ryan.
Oh no, that's just coke, isn'tit?
SPEAKER_02 (08:10):
Yeah, it's all my coke.
SPEAKER_04 (08:11):
Okay, okay.
SPEAKER_02 (08:12):
Um drink more.
You need sugar.
SPEAKER_04 (08:14):
You get the sugar because you're kicking off,
because you were the mostexcited about this movie.
As Luke said last time, I'mjumping in, I'm stealing it, I'm
pipping it.
We're going forward.
SPEAKER_02 (08:26):
The problem is I'm drinking Coca-Cola zero sugar.
SPEAKER_06 (08:31):
Oh no.
SPEAKER_04 (08:32):
It's just gonna make you just it's just gonna
activate your insulin.
You're gonna start producinginsulin, and you're gonna go to
sleep.
SPEAKER_02 (08:40):
Hasn't happened once yet when I'm an alcohol.
So uh anyway, look, at the endof the day, alcohol is the only
thing that stops a shakes.
So people tell me it's on.
SPEAKER_04 (08:49):
Oh, I just I meant the I meant the fake sugar in
your coke.
It activates your insulin.
Did you guys not know aboutthat?
Fake sugar, so it it so it whenyou drink fake sugar, your body
actually thinks that that you'reconsuming sugar, and so it'll
produce insulin to counteractthat sugar, but if it doesn't
(09:10):
have sugar to produce, it makesyou tired.
SPEAKER_02 (09:13):
I thought you were talking about the coke that I
had ingested in the bathroombefore this episode.
SPEAKER_04 (09:20):
Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_02 (09:21):
No, no, that's fine.
Okay, that's fine for you.
Okay, cool.
Yeah, so alright, so after thatbump, so let's talk about Good
Boy.
Fantastic film for me.
Like, and this is so hardbecause we just fucking talked
about this, but you know, theshow must go on.
So for me, and this might beinteresting for the three of us
(09:42):
at least.
Let's see how our scores changeshot to shot.
SPEAKER_04 (09:49):
Oh, yeah.
Do you still have our old scoresrecorded, Luke?
Yeah, I do.
SPEAKER_02 (09:53):
Yeah, so don't look at them, Luke.
Yeah, don't look at them.
Let's see how let's see howaccurate our score is.
Well, it's 100% accurate.
100% accurate.
SPEAKER_04 (10:06):
Well, whatever we say is right.
SPEAKER_02 (10:08):
So for but maybe we need a little bit more alcohol
to get to the truth of it.
So, for me, acting, I thoughtthe dog was incredible.
Indy was incredible, um, and andthey explained to us later on
what was happening, and I agreewith that and everything like
that.
But at the same time, I thinkthat the effort that was put
(10:31):
into this acting um pushed itover the edge.
Like, if you're a dog owner,there were moments where you
could see, like, oh, he likehe's curious, he's not scared.
Like, obviously.
SPEAKER_05 (10:45):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (10:45):
But that, but that that's to that's not to a
layman.
Um, that's to someone who hasbeen around dogs since they were
young or who is experienced withdogs.
And uh I've found in my in myexperience with uh my newest dog
right now is an American Akita,um, who's a fucking insurance
(11:08):
hazard.
Um, not everyone picks up ondog's cues.
SPEAKER_03 (11:13):
That's interesting.
SPEAKER_02 (11:15):
Not everyone picks up dog on dog's cues, and not
everyone's parents have taughtus that hey, don't just go
petting a random dog and don'tput your face in a dog's face.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (11:29):
So if you aren't aware of what a dog is, if you
were born in a cat family or afrog family or a lizard family
or a parrot family or whatever,or just you know, I learned
there's families that just thinkpets are disgusting, and they do
living with any animals is agood idea.
SPEAKER_02 (11:47):
Yeah, and those people are sociopaths.
Um, and so if you're not one ofthem, um the acting on this, I'm
giving a 4.5, and the onlyreason I drop it from a five is
because the humans in this filmthey kind of I don't know, they
forgot how to act, in myopinion.
SPEAKER_04 (12:08):
They were all props, is how I saw it.
You know, I explained this lasttime, of course.
But I thought that they were allprops, but that was their job.
Their job wasn't to be an actor.
It's like the way dogs areprops.
He was just supposed torepresent sickness, that's what
all he was meant to do.
SPEAKER_02 (12:23):
Yeah, but there were the moments.
SPEAKER_04 (12:26):
In a normal movie, the dog we wouldn't think about
dog as an actor.
SPEAKER_02 (12:30):
Exactly.
But there were just momentswhere Todd's acting kind of
like, what?
That's not what you'd say.
Um, and it and it bothered me.
So 4.5, but not enough to makeit a three or anything like
that.
A 4.5, that's near perfect.
SPEAKER_03 (12:47):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (12:48):
Cinematography, in my opinion, it it evoked a sense
of dread throughout.
I was worried the whole timeabout fucking indie.
I I was worried about Todd even.
And uh the cinematography drewme in.
I I loved the angles, I loved uhlike I loved the hallways.
SPEAKER_04 (13:11):
Yeah.
Yeah, the the 30 minutes ofstaring down hallways.
I love that it's really sweetthat you that you worried about
Todd.
SPEAKER_02 (13:21):
I did, I did, because I saw Todd as me.
And I instantly worried about ifI got sick, how would Remy feel?
Um, I shouldn't have said hisname because he might attack me
during the podcast.
He'd probably eat you.
Yeah, yeah.
If you died, he'd eat you.
When we get to part three, goddamn it, he saw me.
(13:43):
Um when we get to part three,it's gonna be a totally
different story.
I don't own a retriever, I own aguard dog.
You don't own a good circle ofboy.
He's a good boy.
Um I love him to death.
But uh cinematography, I'mgiving a five.
It was unique, it was new, itbrought me there, it made me
(14:05):
emotional.
I fucking loved it.
Um the score soundtrack, it uh,like I said, it is not John
Williams, it's not a Star Wars,it's not like I'm not gonna hear
the good boy soundtrack and go,holy shit, it's good boy.
But they knew when to shut itoff, they knew when it was
(14:29):
needed.
Um, I felt it was very wellutilized, and for that I'm gonna
give the soundtrack a four.
Um, story and plot.
I, you know, it like we've hadCygna stories before, but it's
never been from the perspectiveof the dog.
It's never been from aperspective of someone who is so
(14:51):
dependent on us, and someone whois so um helpless.
SPEAKER_04 (14:57):
Like if we often don't get protagonists who can't
speak and also and also can'treason.
SPEAKER_02 (15:06):
Yeah, and and so um, so while the story and plot
like, was it Godfather?
No.
It was better than theGodfather.
So for that, I give it a 5.5.
Um for that I'm gonna give thestory and plot a four.
Um, I'm gonna give the story andplot a four.
Um, just because it was a verystrong story told from the
(15:27):
perspective of someone that wedon't usually anticipate.
And I I thought there was a lotto be said here, and it
definitely did like I mean, likeLuke said in the previous
episode that we'll never airbecause we uh something
happened.
We'll never get to know.
Like, I will always look at thismovie and like ask questions
(15:49):
about like, am I a good dogowner?
Was Todd a good dog owner?
Fuck no.
No, um I'm I'm sure that'sdealing with illness, yeah.
But I'm sure the actual Todd isa good dog owner.
Like, obviously, he spent threeyears just playing with his dog.
So honestly, he's probably oneof the best dog owners, if for
selfish purposes.
(16:10):
But uh for that, I give storyand plot a 4.5.
Um and then finally,rewatchability.
No, I'm not watching this atChristmas uh at Christmas.
Uh I'm not uh but if someoneasks me if like hey, you seen
Good Boy and they haven't seenGood Boy or whatever it is, I I
(16:32):
know when it comes out on astreaming service I will see it
again.
Um so for that I I give therewatch ability I give it a
three.
Give it a three.
SPEAKER_04 (16:41):
Nice.
I, you know, for what it'sworth, we are now, Luke and I
are now very quiet.
I think I wonder if we might betoo high.
SPEAKER_06 (16:52):
I'm pretty fucking high.
SPEAKER_04 (16:55):
I wonder if we might be too high to be entertaining.
We did a we did such a good joblast time.
SPEAKER_06 (17:03):
Dude, I'm just staring at Ryan right now.
I'm not gonna lie.
I wish you didn't say anything Ididn't notice until you just
said something.
I was just fucking like, Ryan, Iwas locked in on you that whole
time.
SPEAKER_01 (17:14):
Look, this is gonna be the episode.
This is gonna be the episodethat like this is what it looks
like, baby.
This is real.
All right, this is real.
SPEAKER_04 (17:25):
We usually get the scores out before we're blasted.
Acting, I'm gonna rush throughit.
I'm just gonna rush through it.
SPEAKER_01 (17:31):
Yeah, rush, rush, baby.
SPEAKER_04 (17:33):
Acting, I thought they did a really good job.
I actually thought the you know,I the you guys said the owners
would had some dumb scenes orbad lines or stuff.
I thought it was okay for whatthey were there for.
They're like the owner was likean even though he was central to
the plot, his acting was like anextra in the movie.
Uh and I think acting yeah,yeah.
He was great, he was a great, hewas prop plus.
(17:55):
And and I think Indy did areally good job.
There were just and and I'm youknow, I think that those scenes
where Indy was not was notjuxtaposed correctly for horror
took me out of the film, and Ithink they should get that dog
in some fucking acting classes.
(18:18):
Come on now.
So 4.5 for acting,cinematography.
Uh I am going to I loved the chI loved the follow scenes.
Uh the scenes where we likefollowed Andy up the stairs.
Agreed.
The scenes where we likefollowed him outside, and I feel
like I feel like um the directorkind of saw like this trend
(18:43):
coming where we've gotten reallygood five follow scenes lately,
like in weapons, where they'rewhere um where they followed on
the skates.
That that follows yeah, weaponswas the had awesome follow
scenes.
And uh, I think this directorlike had been filming getting
ahead of that, and like whereindie went through the woods, uh
(19:04):
just great, greatcinematography.
And I I also loved his dreams.
Yeah, his dreams were good.
I loved when he put his head inthe log.
I liked that.
Yeah, and so that was that wasgood cinematography.
We learn later it's fox eyes,and it's like, and we learn that
Indy is like perceiving theworld through scent, and the
(19:25):
only way for us to get that ishe has visuals related to sense,
and it's really interesting,very interesting.
Um, so cinematography gets afive score and soundtrack.
Oh man, I'm humming the good boymusic in the shower.
Uh oh, yeah, obviously.
(19:45):
The good boy title.
Good boy, good good indie has anightmare.
The reprise.
Uh no, score, I would say uh 3.5on the score.
I thought it was good.
Uh story and plot, I reallyliked the plot.
The plot, you know, for thosewho may have not seen it or, you
(20:07):
know, may want an explanation.
The plot was that an owner getsill uh with some kind of
congenital disease that causesthem to have to like collapse.
And lung disease.
It is, yeah, a lung disease.
And his dog is perceiving thatas like some uh uh supernatural
(20:30):
force in the house, like thespecter of this disease.
Um and and Indy is perceivingthat, and uh and yeah, that's
the plot.
And then eventually he probablydoes smell yucky, like sick
people don't smell greattypically just because they're
like not taking care ofthemselves necessarily as well,
and like like that's probablywhy he perceives him as like a
(20:51):
mud man, because it's like ohgross.
SPEAKER_03 (20:55):
Smell like shit, Dad.
SPEAKER_02 (20:57):
Like for me though, like I I I know I know going
into this that James, you'regonna perceive it as strictly
metaphor, but it's the ghostgolden retriever that it really
that's it was a twist.
SPEAKER_04 (21:13):
It was a twist where I was like, it was I thought it
was just the metaphor.
I I I got cued in pretty earlythat it was a metaphor.
The when the sister called andsaid, you know, uh, you know,
dogs are dogs perceive you knowillness and stuff like that.
And it's true, dogs can snifffor cancer and stuff.
Sometimes they do that.
SPEAKER_02 (21:32):
We should make that argument in part two.
SPEAKER_04 (21:35):
Okay, okay, okay.
But when the ghost dog camearound, that that got me again
because I was I thought it wasall metaphor.
And then an actual ghost dogswings doors open and shit.
SPEAKER_02 (21:46):
Yeah, like yes, a real ghost.
All right, we'll talk about thatin part two.
SPEAKER_04 (21:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But story plot, I'm gonna giveit uh 4.5.
And for rewatchability, I'm onlygonna give it a two because I
while I think this movie wasreally good.
I I just cannot.
I think if I was to watch thismovie at home, I would pick up
my phone so soon becauseeverything is like meth slow and
(22:12):
methodical, and seriously, if weif you timed it, half of that
movie would be looking downhallways where nothing is
happening.
Nothing is happening.
Is it half of it feel like halfbecause it's so grueling?
It's there were probably I thinkthere were like six extended
(22:33):
scenes where we are looking fromIndy's perspective down a
hallway where, and I have toreiterate, nothing happens.
I think they were over the show,a show like that's what dogs be
doing though, being creepy inour house, like fucking staring
down hallways and doing, dude.
SPEAKER_01 (22:53):
Yeah, they be doing.
It's creepy.
SPEAKER_04 (22:55):
I agree.
It was very effective in thetheater.
I love it.
But I do get what you I do getwhat you mean.
It was a lot.
It was a lot.
SPEAKER_02 (23:02):
If I rewatch obsessed, I'd rather have a dog
than a cat, and I'll tell youthat much.
And I'll bring that up in partthree.
I'll tell you that.
SPEAKER_04 (23:10):
So I wrote mine down, so I won't mess them up,
but you guys were off by 1.5from the first two.
SPEAKER_06 (23:17):
Oh shit!
SPEAKER_04 (23:18):
Yeah, uh, it was James.
You ended up giving the uh scoresoundtrack less, and then uh
Ryan, you gave the uh rewatchability a lot less.
SPEAKER_07 (23:30):
Okay.
SPEAKER_04 (23:31):
So that was that was not far off though, but I wrote
mine down, so I'm not gonna messthem up.
So I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_02 (23:37):
Okay, let's do it.
This might be more accuratebecause Siskel and Ebert never
got fucking wasted in thetheater.
unknown (23:48):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (23:49):
Well, they did, but but they also didn't write their
own reviews.
They fucked though, right?
That was like a thing.
SPEAKER_03 (23:55):
Oh yeah, absolutely.
SPEAKER_04 (23:56):
Yeah, oh yeah.
SPEAKER_03 (23:58):
Um they may never admit to well, well, one can't
admit to it, but the otherprobably will never.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (24:07):
Hate fuck.
SPEAKER_02 (24:09):
I'm letting Remy be in this one more just because
it's about dogs.
He's currently biting on myelbow.
I can't wait to bring him up inpart three.
Hey, Remy.
SPEAKER_06 (24:20):
I will yeah, I'll go ahead and and shoot off mine
then.
SPEAKER_04 (24:23):
My uh my acting, I gave a 4.5.
I thought it was really good,and but I do agree with James
that the um there were a couplescenes where in Indy definitely
had more of a curious look thana scared look, and for that
reason, I just couldn't give itum give it that full five.
Cinematography was by far myfavorite part of the movie.
I thought that um they reallyput you into the perspective of
(24:45):
a dog.
They they made me like Ryansaid, feel anxious like
consistently throughout themovie.
Um I I I really enjoyed it.
I thought it was really, reallyuh fresh, and I thought it was a
cool thing to do.
Again, such a unique idea that Ithink it comes through in all
the different categories.
Um but I think likecinematography, it really,
(25:07):
really shines.
So I gave it a five.
Um the score soundtrack I gave a3.5.
It it was good.
It like just didn't like itwasn't super memorable for me.
Like I wasn't um I did noticethat they used silence at times,
but I think that they were a lotof there was a lot of silence
because it was kind of in thosehallway moments.
(25:28):
Um and at times I was like, man,I I I need to c seriously make
sure I'm not breathing too loudin here.
The people next to me are gonnabe able to hear.
And for that reason, I didn'tlike it that much.
So I gave it a 3.5.
The story and plot I reallyenjoyed.
I thought it was cool.
Um, I'm not gonna lie, I like Iwas kind of at first like, what
(25:49):
the fuck is going on?
Mudman, and then I like then Ionce I understood the like
sickness and stuff, I I enjoyedit more.
Um, but at first I was kind ofcan confused.
It didn't pick up for me rightat right um right early on.
But I ended up giving the uhstory and plot a four.
Um, but I thought it was reallygood.
I thought it was a cool scarymovie, too.
(26:09):
I know, and I'm again, I'mprobably the most harsh critic
on scary movies, but I I Ireally enjoyed it.
Lately, I feel like a lot ofthese movies have come out with
something like very cool uhstory and plot-wise, which makes
me more into the like horrorgenre as a whole.
SPEAKER_02 (26:25):
It's giving me a solid point.
Yeah, giving me a less solidpoint, like with weapons and uh
yeah, and this and like and thelong road, which we also all
saw.
SPEAKER_04 (26:36):
The long walk, yeah.
And that you know, the thrillerstyle, but yeah, it's I feel
like they're really cool.
I and I really enjoyed this oneas well.
Um and then we watch a lot of alot of sorry, I think that a lot
of horror movies do a bad jobwith suspense.
You know, suspense is like asecondary thought.
And a lot of the movies thatyou've come the horror movies
you've come back and you've saidthat you like, it's about
(26:57):
suspense and not about the thenot about horror jump scares or
kills or whatever.
I always say my bit my leastfavorite thing about horror is
jump scares.
That's like my lead.
I am someone I pull me on mytoes, and I get that's kind of
the point of it, is to like getyou onto your toes, then yeah,
do the jump scare.
But the jump scare's not fun forme, like it is for other people.
(27:20):
So, like, but like a thriller,something that has me just like
on the edge of my seat, I I livefor it.
I really do like I feel likethey've done a good job.
Well, while still adding somejump scares, but not that I'm
just not so much where I'm like,oh my god, this is just like un
unpleasant.
It's like, yeah, you got I feeltruly like, yeah, you got me.
All right, all right.
That was like that was good.
(27:41):
So versus I've seen one of theparanormal activities that was
truly I've never seen somethingthat was just jump scare after
jump scare.
It's just like quiet, quiet,quiet, quiet, loud ass noise.
Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet.
Like it was truly just a um jumpscare movie.
So really cool, really cool tosee in general of some of these
directors coming out with these.
And then the rewatchability, Igave it 3.5.
(28:01):
I actually, it's a movie that Icould see myself watching again
just to enjoy the the camerashots, but I agree it is sad.
I don't see myself watching it alot.
But I that this is one I willwatch with somebody else at some
point.
100%, I know for a fact.
Somebody else is not gonna haveseen it or not gonna um and I'm
like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's watch it.
Because I like to enjoysomething, especially something
(28:23):
unique for the first time withsomebody, and I enjoy that.
So, like, and this is somethingI'd be like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
let's throw it on.
Like, you need to watch this,let's do it right now.
It's only 70, it's only 75minutes, an hour 15.
Like, we can knock this outright now.
Let's do it.
So, um, yeah, for that reason Igave it 3.5.
Solid.
SPEAKER_02 (28:41):
Alright, well, what did uh what did Good Boy wind up
with?
SPEAKER_06 (28:45):
Four out of five.
Um, which I solid really, reallygood.
SPEAKER_04 (28:50):
Especially for a dog, a movie where there's
almost very little dialogue andjust a dog.
Like, that's pretty shot on oneuh single camera.
I agree.
I agree.
I mean, and especially they wereonly able to work with the dog
for two hours a day.
Like, I can imagine the therehad to have been a point for the
team where they're like, fuck mygosh, are we really gonna keep
(29:11):
doing this?
Like, this is this is insane.
Like, you know, yeah,especially.
The team was two people.
It was that guy and his wife.
Really?
Is that it?
Is that all the things?
Yeah, that was it.
That was the team.
SPEAKER_02 (29:21):
It fucking paid off.
And and this is what happened.
You get a good film.
You get a good film when youstop casting your shitty
children in things.
SPEAKER_04 (29:32):
Uh I mean, Big William Bird kind of cast his
shitty child in this.
Yeah, that is true.
It did take three years to filmhis shitty child.
SPEAKER_06 (29:41):
Just because his dog was not a professional.
SPEAKER_04 (29:44):
Well, I mean, this was nepotism.
It worked out though.
Wow.
SPEAKER_02 (29:57):
That's true.
That's true.
All right.
Uh Golden Retriever.
Yeah, good boy.
It's nepotism at its finest.
Fucking.
SPEAKER_04 (30:08):
I recognize that I recognize that Golden Retriever.
He's a veteran in the game.
SPEAKER_06 (30:15):
Yeah, that's air fucking bud.
Are you fucking kidding me?
They gave him a he's a deadghost dog?
God damn it.
SPEAKER_02 (30:22):
Airbud gets a fucking dead ghost dog roll in
2025.
Fucking hell.
So uh what did this film wind upwith?
SPEAKER_06 (30:32):
He told you it's a four.
A four out of five.
You're so drunk.
SPEAKER_01 (30:37):
We've been drinking, folks.
We've been drinking.
Congrats.
Uh Air Bud, you got a four outof five.
SPEAKER_04 (30:49):
This is gonna be our worst episode.
We're this is gonna be short.
It's gonna be our worst episode,and it's gonna be real short
because we're gonna blow throughthese next portions.
SPEAKER_06 (30:59):
Because I have nothing for I need someone to
start off the golden pad, that'sfor damn sure.
SPEAKER_01 (31:04):
Well, we will, we will.
SPEAKER_02 (31:05):
So, but that being the case, it's time to get on to
the second portion of thispodcast and to the uh I guess uh
curmudgeon uh of my co-hosts.
Um, it's time to line up ourfinal shot, final toast, final
hit of the night.
This one this one goes out toAirbud.
SPEAKER_04 (31:28):
Cheers to Airbud.
So to all Hollywood's Nepobabies.
SPEAKER_02 (31:35):
To the Nepo babies.
You will all burn in hell.
Ah fuck.
I had a night plan tonight.
Jesus Christ.
All right, so all right.
SPEAKER_03 (31:52):
Yeah, uh, you can't do anything else.
I'm gonna go lay down on thecouch after this.
All right.
So who wants to kick off thisone?
SPEAKER_02 (32:00):
Yeah, so round two.
It's time to get on the goldenpath.
What are the deeper thoughts andfeelings of this film?
I'll start it off.
So for me, uh right away as athis this film hit me as an
animal owner.
I have owned creatures since Iwas a child.
(32:23):
And there are some when I wasnot ready to own creatures that
uh keep me up to this day.
You know, I I didn't, you know,because when you when you decide
to buy a creature, um, you stillhave a life.
But this creature, its life isall you, and it lives and dies
(32:46):
by your whims and what you wantto do in a given day, and all
that sort of thing.
And this film definitely broughtme to that, especially in the
scene, uh, like Luke, you weretalking about earlier, where um
Indy hops up under the chair andhe's looking out the window and
he's waiting for his owner tocome home, and there's just a
(33:07):
hard cut from day to night, andhe's just still sitting in that
chair.
Um, and that's our animals'lives.
Is watching time pass, waitingfor us.
And oftentimes we get so caughtup in our nonsensical bullshit
that we forget that there is anentire life dedicated to us.
SPEAKER_04 (33:33):
And I think that a lot of people need to understand
that before adopting dogs andbefore like going out and and
not just dogs, animals ingeneral, because I think that
there's so many people will getthese hamsters and get get
lizards of uh reptiles of ofsorts, and they they think that
it's gonna be an easy thing tojust like haha, cute fun.
(33:53):
No, this is like a fuckingliving being that you're taking
out of its normal habitat whereit it should be, and now you're
gonna have to take care of it,and you're gonna have to create
that habitat for it, and you'regonna have so for a dog, you
know, you have to give it theexercise, you have to give it
the the training and the thereward and all you know the
stimulation that it requires fora lizard.
(34:13):
You have to give it the climate,the heat, the the moisture to be
able to properly shed for youknow, and I think that people
don't do that.
SPEAKER_06 (34:21):
And it you know, a lot of animals pay the price in
the end.
It it is kind of crazy, yes,yeah.
SPEAKER_03 (34:26):
Yeah, people amen.
SPEAKER_04 (34:27):
That's a great point.
People need to understand thatanimals are stupid losers with
no lives.
SPEAKER_02 (34:41):
Well, just being the fact that our listeners are
generally stupid losers with nolives, imagine related to the
animal.
Yeah.
Imagine if you now had yourstupid fucking life controlled
by one individual and he keptforgetting about you.
SPEAKER_04 (35:04):
It'd leave for like the majority of your life.
SPEAKER_02 (35:07):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (35:08):
And you you didn't know how to get your own food or
whatever.
SPEAKER_02 (35:13):
You were just waiting on fucking stale meat
cereal that they give you.
SPEAKER_04 (35:19):
Yeah, but it's like the best shit ever to the yeah.
And then you get fucking I poura little warm water in it to
make a little bit of gravy forthe.
SPEAKER_02 (35:29):
I started buying um dog uh beef stock and I'll pour
it over the top.
And like I I I try and I try andaccommodate.
I try.
SPEAKER_04 (35:41):
Absolutely.
I do little bits of chickenbreast also.
Well, no, I just little crumbleof chicken breast on the meat
cereals.
SPEAKER_02 (35:49):
Well, I I find uh Remy and folks at home, you'll
meet him later.
Um, he enjoys um uh kosher hotdogs.
And uh have to be kosher.
They have to be kosher, or he'sjust not into it.
He's just not into it.
Um he comes out with his littlefucking hat and he just uh he
(36:12):
won't do it.
He won't do it.
Um so I I gotta make sure.
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (36:18):
Has this been blessed by a child of Judea?
SPEAKER_02 (36:24):
He'll sniff it and he can tell.
He can tell.
They have stronger noses than wedo.
They do.
And it wasn't, it wasn't.
So he won't eat Oscarmeyer.
He won't eat Oscarmeyer, it hasit has to be kosher.
SPEAKER_06 (36:39):
Um what were we talking about?
Golden Path of the movie GoodBoy.
I did have another thought, I thI think, I think.
SPEAKER_04 (36:51):
Um, and that is that in general, I feel like this
movie did not a lot of differentthings.
It's all from a differentperspective, and I think that
some of the things aren'tinherently that scary.
Um, and because they weren't, itwas disease, right?
But I mean it's people's empathyfor dogs, though, goes further
(37:11):
than their empathy for humans.
And I and I feel like that's acommon commonality in society in
general, but I feel like peoplefeel as scared as they do during
this movie because their empathyfor this dog is actually deeper
than what it would be for justanother teenager getting hacked
in half by Jason.
SPEAKER_02 (37:31):
That is a solid point.
SPEAKER_04 (37:34):
And it is it it's the same thing with babies, and
you can find this with peoplewho are like really
anti-abortion and stuff, wherethey give a lot more empathy to
unborn children and babiesbecause they are without sin.
It's like a dog is without sin.
A dog literally can't sinbecause it doesn't have enough
(37:55):
understanding of the world, andit's it's it's pure innocence,
and it's the same with likeunborn children and babies.
But once you start to gain anunderstanding of the world, you
have like your your informationabout the world informs your
actions, and that for andtherefore you are no longer
innocent.
And and this is a really commonthing in our culture, and I
(38:18):
don't fucking understand it.
Sure, protect protect innocence,but it's not worth more
consideration than any otherbeing just because it is
innocent.
But I think it does, and it'scommon, it is very common.
Yeah, I yeah, very especiallyfor I would say like you know,
mammal like pets, because I feellike that's like what people
(38:42):
like really um associate withlike deep emotion, I suppose.
SPEAKER_02 (38:46):
Yeah.
Well, I would just say, since Imean, as soon as we started
fucking making film, I mean,this is a this is a podcast
about cinema, um, we've beenslaughtering human beings, and
there reaches a point wherewe're just desensitized to it.
SPEAKER_00 (39:08):
Um so but Well, you can hear the justifications.
They're not innocent, right?
That's the justification thatthey're not innocent.
Exactly.
SPEAKER_02 (39:17):
Your average human being is not innocent.
We're all going to hell.
And it's gonna be a wild party,but until then, we gotta live
with each other.
SPEAKER_04 (39:28):
Well, and usually in the movie, they make some of
these characters hateable ingeneral.
They just like give themhateable personalities.
So it's even easier for us to belike, oh, thank god that fucking
guy died, or you know, yeah, itit they do it on purpose a
little bit.
SPEAKER_06 (39:41):
This one I'm like, please don't fucking let this
goddamn dog die.
SPEAKER_02 (39:46):
Okay, so it was within this uh I mean we're
we're entering the OctoberHalloween season, and just
recently I've had uh some peopleforce me to watch the scream
series.
And then all of a sudden I wasasked, Who's your favorite
character?
I'm like, Well, fucking noneof 'em.
(40:08):
I mean, these guys have point.
Yeah, they all suck.
I hope they all die.
SPEAKER_04 (40:15):
That's what that's what you that's why people go to
see screen movies, is to watchthe people.
SPEAKER_02 (40:19):
Just to watch people die.
But when you walk into Good Boy,all of a sudden, for the first
time in probably 30 years,there's a character where you're
like, please don't die.
I like I'm so used to peopledying.
SPEAKER_04 (40:35):
I get it in other movies as well, but this is this
one you definitely you feel it.
I um you definitely feel itdeeper, especially as a dog
owner.
Dog owners in general, I feellike you know, pull they're
pulling on the heartstrings ofthem.
SPEAKER_02 (40:49):
Well, and that's what I'm talking about.
We got uh the three of us were Imean, like Luke, you you're a
young millennial.
Like we grant you access to thecouncil, but you don't have the
rank of master, obvious.
Damn it.
SPEAKER_04 (41:04):
But um we're all right.
I thought we were a horizontallystructured organization.
I did not know there was ahierarchy.
SPEAKER_06 (41:13):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (41:14):
Look, it's I it's grant him we grant him a seat on
the council, but he does nothave the rank of master.
Um he he's essentially azillennial.
Um, but uh, but I mean, good forhim.
He's gonna outlive us.
SPEAKER_04 (41:29):
So uh but I I would say just maybe probably not
we're older, we can hold our wecan we get we get first come,
first serve in the jobs.
And when there's when there'sonly five jobs left, they'll be
held by the oldest people.
SPEAKER_02 (41:44):
That's also true.
Um, yeah, well, honestly, uh Idon't know.
But um anyone uh also this isRemy, but um the point I was
trying to make, uh I would sayjust like we we got used to
since the 90s, um, you know,since Jamie Kennedy was allowed
(42:07):
to have a career, that um thatwas a huge fumble.
He sucked.
Um he was pretty awful for theentire band.
He was allowed to have a career,and we wanted him to die, and so
that's what happened.
And now for the first time in 30years, we have a character that
(42:28):
we don't want to die because wehaven't been desensitized to
animal death.
SPEAKER_03 (42:33):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (42:34):
Can you imagine if they filmed this movie with
Jamie Kennedy instead of thedog?
From the perspective of JamieKennedy, yeah, yeah, and how
much you'd want Jamie Kennedy todie instead.
SPEAKER_02 (42:48):
And then I'm just questioning why this dude with
cancer owns Jamie Kennedy.
SPEAKER_04 (42:56):
Jamie Kennedy crawls between his legs and starts
slapping slapping his belly inhis face.
Like to the scene where the doggets like drug under the bed,
but it's Jamie Kennedy, justlike laying man that just gets
his like ripped under the bed.
I think we've naturally movedinto our third segment.
SPEAKER_01 (43:13):
I agree.
I agree.
Where Jamie Kennedy is at thefoot of the bed and we've made
it to the third part of thisfucking Jamie Kennedy.
Go fuck yourself.
SPEAKER_02 (43:24):
You ruined the mask.
Um, so um, we reach our thirdpart of this podcast.
It's now time to insertourselves drugs or alcohol into
the film good boy.
Fellas, how does it change?
Who'd like to kick this off?
SPEAKER_04 (43:42):
I would.
So sadly, um, what would happenis I would be Todd's friend.
All right.
So I would just be in thebackground of the shots.
Um, but we'd be like smoking.
But you'd be that hunter guy?
No, I might a differentcharacter, different guy.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
You'd be his only friend.
Yeah, his only friend.
Um, but I don't ever got a call.
SPEAKER_01 (44:03):
That's a solid point.
That's what I'm saying.
No one ever checked on him.
SPEAKER_04 (44:07):
His sister kept trying, and then he kept pushing
her away.
Yeah, well, I'm a persistentone, so I'd come over, I'd have
some flour with me.
You put it, you put a trackingdevice and Todd's car.
Yeah.
I found you.
In his urethra.
I already knew he had mentioneduh his childhood house to us
years ago.
I had I had remember.
We're lifelong friends, guys.
(44:29):
So that's great.
That's great.
It's in the urethra.
It's in the urethra.
Uh I did it with my tongueduring uh blow.
So um what are friends for?
What are friends for?
Right?
So so yeah, so I I'm going overthere and I actually end up
killing him earlier on accidentbecause I didn't know he had
(44:51):
lung disease, and I'm just like,bro, smoke this, it's gonna make
you feel better.
SPEAKER_06 (44:56):
Um, and he ends up dying faster um because he
actually also um destroys hislungs with with the smoke.
SPEAKER_04 (45:03):
But he goes out enjoying life a little bit more.
He never turns into the mud man.
Um, and Indy just is a good boy,and I take him when we're done,
and he never has to ghost dog.
SPEAKER_06 (45:14):
Um and it's just kind of like about a friend
taking care of a friend from adog's perspective, um, into his
deathbed and then taking thedogs for its new life.
SPEAKER_04 (45:26):
Oh, nice, gorgeous movie.
SPEAKER_06 (45:28):
Solid.
SPEAKER_04 (45:29):
I want to let you know, if that was the case, you
would be taking me along becauseI would be Indy.
SPEAKER_07 (45:37):
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (45:38):
Because I know that you got like you you said, Ryan,
that you like associatedyourself with the dog owner.
Like, I put myself in Indy'splace when I watched this movie,
and I was like, you know, if itwas me, I would have done a few
things differently.
Andy's a fucking moron.
SPEAKER_02 (45:56):
Let me tell you how I do it.
SPEAKER_07 (46:02):
Sorry.
SPEAKER_04 (46:05):
So here's what I do.
I would sleep 14 hours a day andit would be glorious.
SPEAKER_01 (46:14):
Hell yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (46:15):
It would be amazing.
I'd sit right by the door wherethe draft comes in right on the
crease, and it's like, and I'dsit there and I'd just I'd have
my nose facing it, and it wouldjust blow through my nose and my
little ear for and that's howI'd spend 14 hours.
I wouldn't give a shit aboutwhere this fucking dude was.
He pushed me off the bed onetime.
That's it.
(46:36):
And then and then you comealong, you kill him, and I get
to be your dog.
We go and have awesomeadventures.
We find that cool fox demon.
Uh we have a good time.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,wait, wait, wait.
SPEAKER_02 (46:49):
You just call it a fox demon.
Yeah.
So I'm not fucking crazy.
SPEAKER_04 (46:57):
What?
Whoa.
I I think it was supposed torepresent like death.
SPEAKER_02 (47:02):
But I saw the fox, and then there was the jump
scare.
I associated them as being thesame creature.
But then it turned out I was theonly guy who thought that way.
Did you also think the fox wasthe creature?
SPEAKER_04 (47:17):
No, I think the fox was an I think the fox was an
impression.
And that I mean in the movie, Ithink the fox was an impression
of a scent that that uh thatIndy picked up and then he
started associating that scentwith things.
That the there was the darknessof the eyes and the tunnel.
You know, it makes you know, yousaying that, you know, you
(47:38):
associating those things, maybe.
Maybe it was supposed to maybethe fox was dead.
Because I think that indie issensing dead things.
It was right by that fox trap,remember?
Like the guy had had a fox trapin that that's a solid point.
SPEAKER_02 (47:54):
It was a dead fox, it was a fox ghost.
Yeah.
That's a solid point.
So we can see any ghosts ofanimals.
SPEAKER_00 (48:03):
Damn.
SPEAKER_02 (48:04):
It's the it's the lingering podcast.
I'll tell you that much rightnow.
You know what I mean?
That's why we're better thanFandango.
SPEAKER_04 (48:11):
We skipped it on the golden path.
I just remembered it now.
But it it but dogs have a veryspecial thing that they can do
that humans can't.
They can't they have a sensethat travels through time.
Scent is time is a timetraveling sense.
It tells you something thathappened in that place hours
(48:31):
ago, days ago.
They mark the same spot over andover and smell the markings of
other animals, and they havelike a sense that travels
through time.
It's really interesting.
It does for humans too, though.
It's the sense is the strongestsense or smell is the strongest
sense connected to memories.
Like you have to say, there'stimes where you go in somewhere,
(48:53):
you smell something, you'relike, you know, transported to a
or transported to a house, likea childhood home.
Like I I've I've gone in andsmelled smells, and I'm like,
this smells like my friendKenny's house.
Like very specific smells.
I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_06 (49:11):
No, not a bad thing.
Not always a bad thing.
SPEAKER_04 (49:15):
But yeah, I I do think like that it happens for
humans as well.
SPEAKER_02 (49:20):
Yeah, that's true.
Good point.
Yeah.
Well, well, for me, the filmwould change indie.
I would be the sick guy, butindie would change.
Okay.
So for James is come.
SPEAKER_00 (49:39):
So my film would change.
Ryan's gonna change me.
My film would change.
SPEAKER_02 (49:45):
Come.
Come.
My film would change with thislittle dude right here.
Um turns out he's not an actor,and you can't get him to do what
you want.
Yeah, he's not an actor.
But this is Remy.
Remy.
Remy, his head is larger thanmine.
(50:07):
We're standing at the same placeright here, and he's a puppy.
Um, this dog right here is apuppy.
Um, he hasn't grown all the way,and he is a guard dog.
He has cost me hundreds ofdollars a month in insurance
because if he doesn't know whoyou are, he'll make you bleed.
(50:28):
Um, and so the film would changein that um when Remy starts
growling at something, um, I'mconcerned.
I'm not gonna just sit theregoing like Remy, go away.
I'm sick.
No, I'm like, fuck, Remy, do wehave a ghost?
Um and that's how the film wouldchange.
(50:49):
Um, is that my dog is a guarddog and uh Indy is a retriever.
And as soon as Remy's concerned,I'm concerned.
So in that scene where we'reworried about the endless
hallways that that uh Jamesdislikes, um, I'd be I'd be
(51:10):
fucking up out of the bed going,Remy, what's wrong?
SPEAKER_05 (51:14):
Um and there's no more hallways.
SPEAKER_02 (51:18):
Yeah, yeah.
No, it's I'd be like, Remy,what's what the fuck is wrong?
Um why are you freaking out?
You don't freak out.
Um and so that's how the moviewould change, is that I would be
a dog owner who actually listensto my fucking dog.
Um and that was the thing thatdrove me crazy about this movie.
(51:40):
That was like my one problemwith it, is that I don't know a
lot of dog owners who ignoretheir dogs as much as Todd
ignored Indy.
SPEAKER_05 (51:52):
He had lung disease, man.
Give him a break.
SPEAKER_02 (51:55):
I will not give him a struggling with health is I
will not give him a break.
He doesn't give a disease.
Any time that your cat, yourtoad, your dog is growling into
the shadows, you're like, whatthe fuck is in the shadows that
I don't see?
SPEAKER_04 (52:13):
I mean, unless you're just one too many times.
Unless you're passed out fromhaving lung disease.
SPEAKER_02 (52:19):
I mean, maybe, maybe.
I've never had lung disease, soI don't know.
But I could tell you this.
If my dog, and this is how thefilm would change, if my dog
were growling at the shadows, Iwouldn't be like, Remy, go to
bed, stop being stupid.
SPEAKER_01 (52:37):
I'd be like, Remy, kill what's in those shadows.
SPEAKER_02 (52:44):
And Remy would be like, Yes, sir, and he'd run off
into the shadows and murder thatfucking thing.
SPEAKER_01 (52:53):
Murder the ghost the ghost retriever.
I believe I believe that hecould pull it off.
SPEAKER_05 (53:01):
I would like for you to then be he your lung disease
to be healed, and then you guysgo on a paranormal.
You guys are a paranormalexecution doer that just go to
places and gonna just fuck likeghost creatures up.
SPEAKER_04 (53:14):
Yeah, you go to places and kill the
manifestations of illness ofsick people.
SPEAKER_02 (53:19):
I've owned terriers, I've owned bulldogs, I've owned
toy dogs, uh like I've owned allthe dogs, and uh I would not put
up anything against a scarf dog.
SPEAKER_05 (53:32):
You want a disease healing dog now.
SPEAKER_02 (53:36):
I I think he'd pull like he wouldn't cure my
disease, but I wouldn't have toworry about ghosts, I tell you
that fucking much.
SPEAKER_05 (53:46):
The ghost is the disease.
SPEAKER_02 (53:49):
The ghost is the disease, and uh yeah, for me,
Remy would fucking fuck thatthing up.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
