Ep. 437: The Nice Guys (2016)

Our Buddy marathon continues with a Shane Black Christmas event as we take on the 2016 semi-cult classic, The Nice Guys. This noir flavored buddy picture places Russel Crowe and Ryan Gosling together. But, does it work? We revisit our discussions of Shane Black's scripting from last week, and evaluate The Nice Guys as a re-evaluated version of that story. We talk about women, sex, violence, and formalism as we take this one to the analysis table. Join us now!
