Do awards technically mean anything? NOHR! Do we still love Oscars season? YEH! We picked four Best Picture nominees that we loved and we are diggin' in, babyyy. First, sink into Tàr, Todd Field's latest masterpiece and one of our absolute favorite films of the year. Then, we step into the Triangle of Sadness, an unbelievably fresh dark comedy that mocks the very people who invested their money into the film. Eat the rich, am I rig...

Do we agree with fat suits? Not exactly. Do we think this movie is perfect? Absolutely not. But regardless of our thoughts on “The Whale”’s existence, Brendan puts his whole Fraserussy into this performance AND IT SHOWS. Listen to our hot takes as we finish off our month of Brendan Fraser. If you're not into spoilers, check out "Tàr” for next week's episode. Follow us on Instagram @bestboyspod Email us at hello@bestboyspod.com wit...

Brendan Fraser has made a deal with the devil and trust us, it's a PARTY. "Bedazzled" follows Elliott (Brendan Fraser), who sells his soul to the devil (Elizabeth Hurley) in an effort to become a cooler, more desirable man who can get his dream girl. As expected, chaos ensues and it's PEAK CAMP.

We are back with our second episode in our month of Brendan Fraser and this week we're jumping into the 1998 Oscar-winning Gods and Monsters. We have a lot of feelings about this film, but the takeaway is that Brendan is a BABE and he is a severely underrate actor. Raise your hand if you're stoked for the #Brenaissance!

Welcome to the Month of Pugh! We've watched Miss Flo rise to the top of Hollywood and we're willing to bet a lot of marmalade she's not stopping anytime soon. The young starlet broke into the hearts of American viewers in this week's 2019 romp, Fighting with my Family. Based on the true story of WWE star Paige, Florence Pugh leads us through a classic underdog story about wrestling, Norwich, and--you guessed it--family.

Call 911, because this episode is on FIRE!! Jk it’s just one of the ten fires that Brad Pitt starts in this movie, the second film in our incredibly spooky Halloween vampire series. Interview with the Vampire is a homoerotic sensation in which Brad Pitt, a very sad man with a very sexy blowout, is turned into a vampire by a dandy undead Tom Cruise. Essentially, they hate each other so much until Tommy turns baby Kirsten Dunst into ...

First up on the Best Boys Halloween Vampyr Series is Bram Stoker's Dracula--aka a really horny movie about a really horny bat. Jk, it's technically a 1992 masterpiece from Francis Ford Coppola about Count Dracula (Gary Oldman), a 15th-century prince, condemned to live off the blood of the living for eternity. Fast forward to the 1890s, where young lawyer Jonathan Harker (Keanu Reeves) is sent to Dracula's castle to finalize a land ...

Aaron Sorkin directing? Gross. Nicole Kidman playing comedic genius and overall badass Lucille Ball? Yes please. While our feelings on this performance are mixed, Nicole breathes life into parts of Lucy that were rarely seen by the public and does it flawlessly. In this 2021 film written and directed by Aaron Sorkin, Nicole plays Lucille Ball as she experiences personal and professional hurdles that jeopardize her career and her ma...

We've said it once and we will say it again...Nicole Kidman's performance in The Hours (2002) is the best of her career. Poignant and masterful and, my god, does she look good in that prosthetic nose--she stands out in a trio of some of the most powerful actresses of our time. Nicole takes on the role of Virginia Woolf as she writes her famous novel Mrs. Dalloway in 1923. Her story crosses space and time to connect with the lives o...

There's a MAJOR twist in this film and it's not just Nicole Kidman's Grade A horror movie acting. "The Others" is an exemplary ghost story about a deeply religious mother trying to protect her children while questioning her reality. The perfect amuse bouche to spooky season.

The nutritious and delicious daddy of the day is none other than Benedict Cucumbatch....I mean, Cumberbatch.
