98. Boys State (2020) Film Review | A24 on the Rocks

As we continue our trek through the lost year of 2020, the A24 Rocks crew reviews their fourth A24 documentary: Boys State. This documentary covers a group of 1,100 teenage boys creating a mock government in Austin, Texas. The prestigious camp has previously hosted politicians and politco personalities such as Dick Cheney, Cory Booker, Bill Clinton, and Rush Limbaugh. The difference between those people and the teenagers featured in this film, though, is that these teenagers are living in a post 2016 election world. The effect Donald Trump and social media has had on these teenagers is ever-so evident. The documentary centers around four kids fighting to get elected in this make believe government. What will the A24 Rocks crew have to say about this piece of societal commentary? Caution: movie spoilers.Intro- 0:00 to 3:42.Film Discussion- 3:42 to 1:03:54.Film Ratings/Outro- 1:03:54 to End.
