Jordan: Hey everybody, welcome to Out the Trunk with Jordan and Darius. This is our movie review segment. I'm Jordan. You can find me on all socials at Jordy B Writing.
Darius: And I'm Darius. That's these. I love the area on all socials.
Jordan: And today we're going to be reviewing the movie Good Boys. This movie was released in 2019 starring Jacob Tremblay, Kenneth L Williams, Brady Noon, Molly Gordon, Midori Francis, Will Forte, Lil Roe Howery, Retta, and Millie Davis. Good Boys is about 3 6th graders named Max, Lucas, and Thor, like God of Thunder, who find themselves in a series of misadventures while trying to attend a party. Their journey involves a stolen drone, a desperate quest to replace it, and navigating the complexities of their friendship and the cusp of adolescence. I'm going to toss it to you to open up for Act 1.
Darius: Act one, we're going to call the pre-party panic. Three pre-teen friends are invited to their first kissing party. Their mission to learn how to kiss and fit in leads to a series of escalating missteps, including a disastrous drone theft. First observation question off the bat, is this like a sort of like a modern take on super bad? Is that what we're trying to, what we're going for here?
Jordan: Yeah, I think basically that's kind of what the vibe was. Yeah.
Darius: All right. Makes sense. That's kind of what I was thinking. when I was watching it, I was like, this is just like a prepubescent super bad.
Jordan: Yeah.
Darius: So yeah, it is amazing how much older teenagers seem to them at that age.
Jordan: Right.
Darius: You're watching the movie through the eyes of them and all of the teenagers just they seem older to me watching it because of through the eyes of the kids. But right now they're they're like 14, 15 years old at the time as well. So interesting now.
Jordan: Yeah.
Darius: But you got fract one.
Jordan: I love how this movie does a great job of perfectly illustrating like how stupid kids are.
Darius: Yes.
Jordan: Because like, it's just you just think about like all the **** we thought as kids, like the rumors that we heard, like, remember we were kids and it was like, Sierra's a man and like, or like, or like, I'm trying to think like you could get like, some sort of disease from drinking the water fountain or like the stupid **** that we believed as kids. This movie did a really good job of like showing that.
Darius: Or like the, like there was like this little muck lake around and we thought that it was like a monster in it. And it was like, yeah, No, it's not a thing. So.
Jordan: Yeah, I remember like in my neighborhood, there was a rumor of there was like, there was like a haunted house and like some girl died there.
Darius: Like evil old lady on the block.
Jordan: Yeah. So I wanted to ask you, when you were a kid and you were first, if you ever did this, I don't know, whatever, but when you were first on the internet, looking at girl **** or inappropriate **** whatever, did you ever get caught doing any of that stuff when you were a kid?
Darius: No, because I was always more tech savvy than my parents. So I knew how to delete my browser history. But yeah, certainly, certainly indulged, which not to make, not to get all deep, but like, Right. It's like, obviously I turned out fine, but like one, the first exposure was like 14. So it was just not obviously old enough, but like, right, a ******* grade school. And two, it was on the family's computer. So like there was an element of of a friction there. Now, I couldn't imagine being a parent with, you know, every smartphone having just three clicks away from like graphic ****.
Jordan: Right.
Darius: And you, you know, you have to decide if you're going to get your eight-year old one of these **** machines, basically. Right. Like, man, we're a long way from, you know, me, you know, stealing your dad's magazines to whatever the **** you could find.
Jordan: Or like. Yeah, I remember when I was a kid, like, it'd be like we like if my dad like my dad used to like fell asleep watching TV, like downstairs, whatever. So sometimes, you know, it'd be we watching like whatever movie and then, you know, late night cable would come on and Like me and my brother, we'd like, at the edge of the stairs, look at, I'd be like, look, at that on the TV, **** like that, whatever. And now it's just like everywhere. Like you can just scroll Twitter and it's like right there. I'm sure you see on Instagram. It's like, how is this able to post on Instagram? Like, that's crazy.
Darius: Dude, as someone who's recently returned to office, I had to turn off auto videos on Twitter. Because people do not respect back. So I haven't worked in the office in roughly a decade as the audience knows at this point. But back then there was like a daytime truce on posting wild **** because there was an understanding that people were at work. You were at work. Not no more, man. Especially that for you tab. No, yeah, And like I know like my Instagram algorithm, at least that's sort of like tailored to me. so it's I don't really get too much of it on there, but there's some like I say my for you tab is basically sneakers the gym cooking an *** and But it's like tasteful ***. It's not ****. It's just me, you know, IG models and stuff.
Jordan: Yeah, I feel you. Yeah.
Darius: In their profile, there's a link to probably something more explicit. But the actual IG pictures are tastefully lusty.
Jordan: That's hilarious. And I remember, so we had a, we had a family computer. I think my dad may had to work a lot of time at the time, whatever. But I remember I was like 12 and I first started like looking for **** on the Internet and I didn't know how to delete history or anything like that. And my dad's a software engineer. So, you know, God. Yeah. So he was one time he was like, you remember saying, I want to talk to you. I'm like, yeah, what's up? And he's like, he started listing names of the actors that I was Googling, so to speak. And I was just like, no, I don't. That name didn't sound familiar to me. And then they were like, yeah, no computer for a month.
Darius: No, I never got caught because I knew my parents weren't tech savvy. And so, well, let me tell you, stumbling upon as parade.com for a 14 year old boy is like, it's like finding a pot of gold.
Jordan: No, yeah.
Darius: Oh, just like that. What was it? Darkling where he's jumping in the pool of the dark wing.
Jordan: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Darius: That's that's kind of what it was like.
Jordan: No, for me, it was a, it was a, the ones I liked when I was like a kid or whatever, kid, teenager.
Darius: Don't really have to say it.
Jordan: Oh, yes.
Darius: It's fine if you don't want to do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I went for the most like, you know, benign one for **** right? But yeah.
Jordan: Yeah.
Darius: Well, this was back before, like now, this is like, there was actual websites and now it's just YouTube, but ****. And it's just way, again, still inappropriate, but just much more appropriate within its inappropriateness. Like, Correct?
Jordan: Yeah, it was tastefully distasteful.
Darius: Again, man, I wouldn't give my kid a smartphone until they were a teen, and then they're like 16 years old.
Jordan: Yeah, no, it's pretty crazy. And all these ads where you can like message people in other countries and **** it's just really, yeah, it's crazy.
Darius: I think schools should ban them. I don't think parents should get their kids them. Every parent you tell about school banning phone, they start talking about school shooters. First of all, you're not John Wick, ain't **** you can do. You ask, you ask them like, well, what happens if there's a school shoot? I'm like, what the **** you going to do?
Jordan: Like, by the way, you them texting you, they get them killed.
Darius: Right. You're just, first of all, do you want a hundred teenagers texting and calling? You're just signing, you're just putting up a red flag of where to shoot you.
Jordan: Hey, we're over here. Yeah.
Darius: Furthermore, it confuses law enforcement. Like law enforcement has to coordinate a counter and to get these kids out. And if you have, if you're telling your kid to go here and Right. I get it. You want the illusion of control, but that's all it is. It's an illusion. You're only going to make it worse texting your kid during an emergency like that. And you know, I get it though. But yeah, I feel you. They are so bad for learning. The content on them is so inappropriate for children. I just don't even know how it's an argument. Ban them from schools. Anyway, I don't even know how we got here, but where are we at? What else you got?
Jordan: Yeah, so there's a scene where they're riding bikes, like the opening scene with all three kids. And they're like, we're 6 graders now. And then the kid, Thor, he's like, yeah, and in 6th grade, everybody gets a **** ***. And they're like, what's that? And he's like, it's like when a girl jokes you off until you ***.
Darius: A little early, buddy. That's like more 9th grade, 10th grade. Right. You know, it's. A little early, right? Sixth grade, you're still making out. You know, you might. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Grab a butter, too. But, you know, the **** *** started about the ninth or 10th grade, you know?
Jordan: Yeah. If you have a healthy childhood.
Darius: Fair. If you have a few. Yeah. Let's get out of here before we get in trouble. Do you remember your first beer? Yes. Do you remember your first beer?
Jordan: See, I don't. I think. I mean, I think when I was like maybe like 12 or 13, I like took a sip of like some of my parents like liquor one time and I obviously didn't like it. Like, I think I tried like some hypnotic. I was like 13 once. Like, I don't remember my first year, though. I think I think I might have been in college when I had my first beer.
Darius: I was in eighth grade. We were we got some ********. We and we were in the woods and a guy out there was just drinking beer. I don't know why he was drinking beer in the woods. You know, whatever. He was just like, he just gave us a beer and we split it and we sipped it. was nasty as hell. I don't even remember what kind of beer it was. It was ****** beer. But I remember it. It's my first sip. The weed was ********. Don't even think it got me high. I don't even know if it was weed. But I definitely remember it because I was in the woods with my boy Kyle, my boy Quincy. And we had a beer and some ****** weed. So anything else for act one?
Jordan: Oh yeah. So even like when they're in, when they're drinking the beer, like in the one like cool kid, he's like, oh, I think I'm drunk. Like, it's just like really like the way kids lie is crazy.
Darius: Like, well, if you have zero tolerance and you are in the sixth grade and you drink actual real beer, drunk? Probably not. But I mean, I imagine that, you know, I remember in the eighth grade, like those two sips, I was not normal. And so you have no you have no tolerance for it. And you're all in your body. I mean, there's a reason why they have age limits on these things.
Jordan: Right.
Darius: It's not just to be annoying. It's because you should not give a developing body poison.
Jordan: Yeah.
Darius: Yeah. So.
Jordan: Also, I thought it was funny where they were at the skate park and the cool kids had scooters. It just makes me think of when I was a kid, the coolest thing in the world was like those Heelys, like the shoes with the wheels on the back.
Darius: Yeah. Did they light up?
Jordan: If you had those, you were, yeah, if you had those, you were like a Jetson or some **** like, you know.
Darius: Our other bikes, man, if you had a cool little Schwinn mountain bike or not mountain bike, the little joints with the, you know.
Jordan: With the BMX things.
Darius: Yeah, we would. Man, Saturday, I'd do my little chores in the morning. I would leave and I'd just be gone all ************* day. I, you know, have no idea where I was.
Jordan: Yeah, For us, it was like, yeah, if you had a bike, you basically had a car. Yeah, pretty much. And if your bike had the kegs on it, you were cool as ****. Like I remember like I got, I was big into like BMX and **** like that. And like, I love like Tony Hawk and stuff as a kid. So I had like a little ramp and like a little skateboard and all that ****. Like you can tell me ****.
Darius: Got anything else for act one?
Jordan: And that's all I got for act one.
Darius: Act two. We're going to call it the desperate scramble to replace the stolen drone before their parents find out the boys must embark on a wild adventure across town, encountering high schoolers, rebellious girls, and facing unforeseen obstacles in their quest. This is definitely. It was obviously like a present day movie, but it was clearly written by people who either don't have children or don't didn't don't know how raising children is today because this is written by latchkey kids. Right. No way this could happen in the modern helicopter parenting environment. Like it's just no, like, yeah, it's a modern movie. It's clearly made for present day, but it's written by people who just have no idea what kids are like these days. Like there's no way no parents let their kids just roam the neighborhood anymore. Like when's the last time you like were just walking your neighborhood and you saw kids just being kids? Like it's not a thing Yeah, that's true. It's like, it's just, these are clearly latchkey kids and it's just, it felt out of place me watching this. I was like, no kids live like this anymore. Like just walking around the neighborhood and seeing kids outside and they're going from house to house and no one's checking in and no one's that. It's just like, yeah, it's clearly written by people who either don't have children or aren't familiar with how, you know, whatever's going on. Correct.
Jordan: Yeah.
Darius: So.
Jordan: Yeah, that's true. So they hear about the kissing party, obviously. They're trying to learn how to kiss before that. So they get the drone and of course they break the girls catch the drone and they hadn't break it. I don't think they'd broken the drone at that point yet. And they're like at Thor's parents house and they're like, all right, we got to get some weapons. And they're like, all right, mom, I found my my parents have a lot of weapons or whatever, and it's just like all sex toys. Yeah, that **** was crazy. And then like, I think we got some an all beads.
Darius: Yeah. Oh, God. I do remember that. Honestly, I found that I just was a little uncomfortable, man, watching these kids with with sex toys. You know, I just. I don't know if I'm getting squeamish in my old age, but I was just like, I don't know, man. This movie, man, it should have been PG-13. I knew the spots where I was supposed to laugh. Right. But it just felt weird. Like were these child actors? Yes. Were there laws going on? I was just a little creeped out to be honest.
Jordan: Yeah, like they couldn't, they couldn't watch the movie, like obviously without an adult. Like they couldn't even, I think I read something where like a lot of the kids didn't know what the words they were saying meant. And one of the producers was like, just ask your mom when you go home.
Darius: Yeah, I'm weirded out. To be honest with you. Okay. So there's not a HBO special about this movie in 10 years?
Jordan: Yeah, I hope they were all, I hope all the kids were taken care of and protected and things of that nature.
Darius: It just, I just was like, man, I don't know. I, you know, maybe I'm just getting a little sensitive in my, in my old age, but what else you got back to?
Jordan: I thought it was interesting like that the, one kid's parents got divorced and they like showed how that really does affect kids because people act like kids are stupid or like that they don't know certain **** or whatever. But when you're a kid and your parents get divorced, like I had friends who, we all had friends whose friends got divorced when we were kids and like that was a big thing. Like sometimes they had to move away or like the kid got really depressed or they started acting out and doing wild **** like that. That definitely like can change their trajective, like a kid's like formative years. So I thought they did a good job of like, I mean, obviously it was very silly and funny, but they did a good job of like showing that like that **** does affect kids because they are human beings. People forget that, I feel like, especially when they get older. So I like that they focused on that as well.
Darius: I wish they had done a little more, but I get that they would have been out of place in a movie with this tone. Tighten up. Life is life, kid. You know, like, All that ******* crying. Stop all that damn crying. Tighten up. Your parents are getting a divorce. I get it. sucks. But you know, I don't really do whining. I don't do self-loathing and I don't do whining. But Thor could sing, right?
Jordan: Yeah, he could sing his *** off.
Darius: He's very good. Did you as a child have any secret passions or interests you were afraid of being teased about?
Jordan: I'm trying to think. Yeah. yeah I mean like I was a band kid for a couple years in middle school I wasn't like ashamed of like people picked on me because I like played the trombone and I was like really short as a kid and I had like a big *** music case so they're like oh the case is bigger than you like this so that was like frustrating and then you know there's the whole thing of like like did you ever get called an Oreo as a kid?
Darius: Yeah well affectionately called Professor but Yeah, I mean, I mean, yes, certainly there was a there's a certain level of stigma to young black children, especially young black men who don't present a certain way. Right. Anyone who says there wasn't is just lying.
Jordan: Correct.
Darius: But I mean, yeah, I mean, certainly, certainly, but I was it was always came from a place of affection where I was just like, my nickname was Professor. So.
Jordan: So for me, it wasn't so much at school. Well, I got called over at school, but like. whatever. But at the church we went to, there was a lot of kids there who weren't in the most stable of situations at home. And I think there was like a little bit of resentment there too. There was some resentment sprinkled in with just like ignorance as well. And like I remember like when they learned that like I played tennis growing up, like I got had lessons and I was like really, really good. And And they were like, black people don't play tennis, like that sort of thing. it was like the high school, well, you didn't see that movie, but it was like one of things where like you'd skate picked them for doing something that normal people do, but like, because it's what you don't fit the archetype.
Darius: Well, okay. So tennis is not tennis is very much an upper middle class leisure activity. It's not something that everyone.
Jordan: But like, I didn't play in the country club. I played like at ******* courts at ******* you know, Lynn, at the Lynn, Lynn, Lynn Road Park or, you know, it wasn't like, you know, I was at some golf club. But I get you're saying, Lou.
Darius: Did you draw and do other sissy **** besides tennis?
Jordan: What?
Darius: Tennis, not bad. Like, I was cheating. I still hooked.
Jordan: Well, no, I did everything. I did it. I was one of those kids who did everything. So I loved basketball, so I hooped. I did, I was big into sketching for him and I just like stopped doing it. I started writing poetry and I was like 12. What else did I do? I mean, obviously I love movies. Like that was a big thing for me too. Just going to movies a lot, watching movies and ****. I think at one point I either wanted to be an actor or wanted to go to film school at various points of like life and adolescence. Yeah, I was one of those kids who was just genuinely like into everything. Like I tried pretty much everything. I did Taekwondo with my brother for a couple of years. Like, yeah, my parents kind of very much supported like us like doing **** that we enjoyed and having different hobbies.
Darius: fair enough where you're secretly good at like really good at it like there's something okay what's one thing you're secretly good at that people would be surprised to know?
Jordan: Like now or as a kid?
Darius: As a good one yeah well as a kid because it's the frame of the movie so.
Jordan: Yeah I mean as a kid that's a poetry guy because I wasn't really telling people that I did poetry um I would say now um what am I secretly good at um I mean, any sort of like, anything involving throwing, I'm pretty good at. Like, I'm really good at darts, like **** like that. Um, any, any like competitive, like guessing or trivia games, I'm like freakishly good at, uh, like taboo or, you know, jeopardy, **** like that. Um, that's what comes to the top of my head right now. What about you?
Darius: Well, so, I mean, I would've said cooking before I started posting cooking on Instagram. Um, secret passions of as a kid. Like, so I love sports games, but I didn't like, like, head to head or online sports gaming. I like to play offline franchise mode. And that was like, people just did not understand why I would enjoy that. And so yeah, searching for sliders for Madden, I think I found this website called Operation Sports. where they would have people who would like upload sliders and everything. And like you could, they would, we would e-mail each other, e-mail, e-mail this before e-mail, we would mail each other memory cards. Yeah. And so we would have rosters in that way. And that's actually how I've met a lot of, I call them my internet friends, like most, like most people I interact with on Twitter. And we used, we met talking on the Operation Sports forums.
Jordan: Yeah.
Darius: And we would just talk about sports video gaming and then they would get into off topic segments where we would talk about real sports, like actual, like the live events. And then we would talk about the other video games and things like that. And then we all kind of sort of migrated over to Twitter into our own little hubs. And so I mean, I've been talking ****. I met some of them in high school and we're still cool today. So, okay. So yeah, I guess that would be like, people would like, I guess, tease me and be like, you want to play against the computer? That's boring. And I always found that more interesting than playing head to head against other people. I still do. I still play with my brother and things like that. But, you know, I found a whole internet community of other people, like-minded people who like to do that, who probably were teased for the same exact data play, you know, so. shout out to my OS friends.
Jordan: I'm with you I actually so I don't really like doing franchise mode I like superstar mode and then I'll or I'll play yeah I'll do superstar mode obviously quarterback and then I'll play defense or sorry offense only because I don't always like playing defense I'd rather just play offense the whole time if I could so I just do that so I can just practice offense like nonstop I did think of another secret passion though Especially like growing up, I was always really big into Greek mythology.
Darius: Yeah.
Jordan: I always thought that was like the most, the coolest, like most interesting **** ever. Like the story, the stories are great. The, you know, the, mythological creatures and the, you know, Mount Olympus and all that. I had like this, like, I bought this like ******* massive, like, Greek mythology storybook, like probably 7 or 8 years ago. Yeah, it's all of all that **** like Hercules, ******* Oedipus, Clash of the Titans, Wrath of the Titans, all those.
Darius: Yeah, I've always enjoyed world building with like, so World of Warcraft, everyone knows what that is. I would write like sort of like fan fiction based off of my characters in World of Warcraft and just I don't know, just build a world that way. Part of the reason why I like offline franchise mode is it's like in my head, I like build stories around the characters in the game. And so I can do the NFL draft in the game. I can draft rookies and build their stories up and all that shit's make believe. But you know. Yeah. What is fiction if it's not, you know, make believe? So I like. So as a kid, it was weird. And so you just play the offline franchise and you draft the people and you get all these creative players almost onto your team. And I built background stories for them. And sometimes I'd write it down and flesh it out from there. And I do that with other video games that single player games. And I've grown out of it a lot now. I don't game nearly as much as I used to, but I still enjoy sort of like the writing of the fan fiction around my franchise modes and so okay if you'll ever catch me like post a clip like there was like it was like that was like a year six of a Madden franchise and TJ Hawkinson is my tight end and like we couldn't We couldn't, we just, the cap budget, he was like his last year on the team and it was in the Super Bowl and I made sure I got him a touchdown because it was his last game on the team and all this **** is fake, it's mad. But I really felt good because he's been, I've played so many games with him and I was like, it's your last, it's your last year on the team. We got to let you walk because the rookie behind you is better, but it's a blowout. We're going to keep you in the game for this one last touchdown. I don't know, I felt good. And I'm like, this **** is all fake. **** is all in my head. This is a ******* character in a video game. But it felt great.
Jordan: That's hilarious. But it's like, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Like I think passion is supposed to be like that. Like I actually told, I was on the phone with somebody the other day and I was talking about like the books I'd read so far this year. I told them I was like, you're going to think I'm crazy. It's going to sound weird when I say this, but I was like, I told her I was like, I actually finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which is the final book for the first time this year. And I was like, I didn't want to finish it because when you finish it, then it's over. You know what I mean? And I kind of always never wanted to like officially be over. But I was like, okay, well, I got to finish at some point, you know? And it's not like I can't go back and reread or watch some movies and stuff, but it was just like a nice, I don't know, like memory to kind of hold on to, like a little piece of like childhood, so to speak, to kind of leave undone in a sense. It makes sense. So, yeah, nothing wrong with having a little bit of passion, you know?
Darius: You know, it's just you never want to lose your imagination.
Jordan: Correct. Exactly.
Darius: It's like a little piece of your childhood. You want to get attack 3.
Jordan: Yeah, that's where all the good **** happens.
Darius: Act 3, the party's resolution, the boy's journey culminates in their arrival at the party where they must confront the consequences of their actions. They're changing friendships and the realities of growing up and leaving childhood behind. Did not have an observation for this one other than are you still cool with anyone from grade school?
Jordan: Yeah, a few people were found on Facebook and Instagram and **** like that. So we kind of keep in touch. Don't speak often, obviously, but it's always just good to see them on the net or like I've run into some people maybe downtown every once in a while or out at like a bar or something like that. That's happened a few times. But I moved away when I was 12 from a lot of my childhood friends. So it was a little harder to, you know, kind of hold on to because for cell phones, you move away. It's like you died.
Darius: So yeah, it's like you moved to Mars, right?
Jordan: Yes. And then you're only ******* 50 minutes down the road. So yes, like from grade school, not really high school. Obviously, I got a few few people I'm still cool with. But yeah, I was I was always kind of a floater anyway, so it was I just tend to lose such people just, you know. So yeah, what about you?
Darius: My best friend, Jeremy, I've known since sixth grade. That's no one else from grade school. I know some people from middle school, but I don't keep in touch with them. Somebody I went to middle school with in high school, no, he went to Armstrong. We went just middle school with, but we never, we just kept in touch. Like we're both sneaker heads and we both flame emojis each other's sneakers, I guess that's keeping in touch. And no, after that, most of my friends I met as an adult. So. Right. But my best best friend I've known since 6th grade.
Jordan: Okay.
Darius: So what you got for act three?
Jordan: Oh, yes. Well, I do want to say that one of the worst things that can ever happen to a child outside of like tragedy is their parents coming home early from work or from a trip?
Darius: Again, no one was supervised, but.
Jordan: Yeah, I mean, we got, I got so many asks from just them coming home early. Like if only they came home like at 5:00. But.
Darius: That's kid logic though, because like, why would you think someone arrives home at the same time every single day? Yeah, that is true. And why would you not build yourself more than like 30 minutes of wiggle room? That's how kids think.
Jordan: Like you didn't wash it. I didn't wash it. You didn't wash a dish. You didn't put the meat out like nothing.
Darius: Like mom gets home at 5:00. I'm good until 445. Like no, that's not.
Jordan: That was literally our logic. And like my dad, he always had like flexible work schedule because of his jobs.
