The Boyos Discuss: Recent Episodes
Matthew
Ben, Matt, and Other Ben are back in the penultimate episode of the Spring of Swayze with 1991's Point Break.
Does Swayze appear shirtless? Is The Fast and the Furious a carbon copy of it? Will The Boyos finally have a somewhat stable uploading schedule? Find out the answers to all these questions and more!
Ben, Matt, and Other Ben are back with another entry in the Spring of Swayze. Last week was rough (IMO), but thankfully we're back to a good movie this week!
The Boyos are continuing their shenanigans this week with a review of the 1989 cult classic Road House. Is it underrated, overrated, or rated just right? Listen and find out why don't ya.
The Spring of Swayze continues, with the certifiable 1987 classic Dirty Dancing. Heartthrob Patrick Swayze continues to impress and delight, and hilarity ensues in this episode of The Boyos Discuss.
Ben, Matt, and Other Ben are back with the first episode of what we're calling the Spring of Swayze. Basically just an excuse to appreciate what a fine specimen of a man Patrick Swayze was (and watch and review some good movies too, I guess).
Kicking things off right with the 1984 cult classic Red Dawn. WOLVERINES!
We're wrapping up Boyos Summer Musicals with a real doozy... Cats! Is it as bad as people say? Does not being sober make the movie somewhat watchable? What the hell is a Jellicle Cat? Find out the answer to these questions on today's episode of The Boyos Discuss!
Boyos Summer Musicals continues this week, and Ben, Matt, and Ben are treating themselves to a good musical for a change!
Ben, Matt, and Other Ben are back at it with another musical review! This week it's another cult classic(?): Xanadu! Matt's got a ton of nostalgia for this movie, but is the power of "member berries" enough to convince the Ben's that it's worth watching? Find out on today's episode of Boyos Summer Musicals: A Boyo's Discuss Podcast!
Extra, extra! Ben, Matt, and Better Ben continue their Boyos Summer Musicals series with a review of the cult classic(?) movie Newsies! Is one of Disney's biggest commercial flops really as bad as people say? Find out on today's episode of The Boyos Discuss!
Ben, Matthew, and Better Ben™ are beginning their journey into the magical world of musical theater... movie adaptations. Is the Phantom of the Opera (2004) only good for nostalgia, or is there more to Joel Schumacher's vision(?) if you dig a little bit deeper? Is the Phantom just a cringey incel? Find out on the first episode of the mini-series we're calling Boyos Summer Musicals!
We're doubling up on episodes again for the conclusion of Kenobi on Disney+! Did it live up to the hype? Why not listen and find out?
Ben and Matt engage in a battle of epic proportions since they can't agree on whether "less is more" or "show, don't have the audience assume" is the preferable way to tell a story. Sorta crazy that we're this far into the show and have no idea what Reva's motivations are, but we don't work for Disney... so...?
Let's address the elephant in the room, episode three of Kenobi came out over a week ago... and because of Disney's weird release schedule and the joys of the forty hour work week we're just now getting to it. Is it an ideal situation? Nah. But it is what it is. This episode is super dark, but there are a lot of really cool character moments. Will it live up to Ben and Matt's high standards for Star Wars content? Why not listen and find out.
Join Ben and Matt as they jump back into the world of Star Wars! After a lot of anticipation the first two episodes of Kenobi are out (technically the third one already came out too, but this would be three hours long if we talked about that too). Are they jazzed about the show? Why not listen and find out!
Thank goodness this isn't a Bad Batch situation where there's a lot of filler.
Ben and Matt wrap-up their review of Shenmue the Animation! It's been a heck of a ride, and we really appreciate everyone who's tuned in!
We'll be back to review Kenobi on Disney+ once that's out!
Ben and Matthew are here to talk about the penultimate episode of Shenmue the Animation! Are they going to wrap up Kowloon this episode? You'll have to listen and find out!
It's getting real close to the end of the show, and the excitement is definitely ramping up! The thick lad Dou Niu is back with even more shenanigans.
There was a surprising amount of Shenmue news (well, rumors really) this week and Ben and I discuss all the juicy details before we get to the discussion of the anime. Ryo's finally reached Kowloon, and the action is picking up pretty fast! What does Ben think of the thick lad known as Dou Niu? Does Kowloon live up to it's reputation from the game? Is the wooden plank section from the game that everyone "loves" present? Find out the answer to these question and more in today's episode of The Boyos Discuss.

The day of reckoning is upon us as Ryo finally pays a visit to a certain barbershop. Is it as goofy as Ben pictures it being? Or will Matthew finally be able to convince him that it's sorta neat if you don't ask too many questions? Find out on today's episode of The Boyos Discuss!
Ryo is still on his quest to learn the Wude, so it's a bit of a slow-burn... unlike today's episode of the podcast! Hilarity (or just low-brow humor depending on who you ask) ensues as Ben and Matthew question certain... "artistic liberties" that have been taken with some of the characters since this is an anime.
Ben and Matt are continuing their review of Shenmue the Animation. This episode is very... Shenmue-esque? Shenmue-ish? The pacing up until now has been pretty fast, so what'll The Boyos think now that things have slowed down for a change? Also why the heck is it called Future? Find out the answer to these questions and more on today's episode of The Boyos Discuss.
Ben and Matt are back at it again, and this time around things are much more positive (because this episode of the anime was much better). Thank goodness this isn't a Bad Batch situation where all of the filler just sorta sucked the energy out of us. We're officially in Shenmue II content, which is extra exciting!
Ben and Matthew are back again, and this time they've had it up to "here" with all of the anime shenanigans. That being the case, they decided to watch this episode of Shenmue the Animation AND Shenmue: The Movie and compare and contrast the two a bit. Which one does a better job of covering the Yokosuka portion of the story (the answer may surprise you)?
Ben and Matt are back at it again, and this time they're barreling towards the end of the Yokosuka portion of the story. Will Shenhua be back to her normal shenanigans of mumbling the prophecy in the village? Will we get to see forklift racing this episode? Listen and find out!
Also check out the Kickstarter for issue two of the Shenmue World Magazine! It's put together by super passionate fans of the franchise and is going to include a lot of neat stuff. I've linked it below if you're interested:

We're back with another discussion about Shenmue, and this time the audio isn't yucky. The plot is heating up as we move towards the end of the first game. Lot's of neat easter eggs and new bits of lore that we never got in the game, so things are exciting!
Ben and Matt continue watching Shenmue The Animation. What do they think of the second episode? Will the audio be clipping for no discernible reason? Will another member join them this week (the answer to that one is no, but not for lack of trying)? All of these questions and more(?) will be answered in this episode of the podcast.
We're back after a long break to talk about the wonderful world of anime (nevermind that it's only because it's an adaptation of a game I like). Will other Boyos join Ben and I along the journey? Whose to say. That's part of the mystery.
The Boyos get into even more spooky shenanigans this week. Is this movie better than The Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Listen and find out I guess.
This week we're kicking off our October Horror Spectacular... thing. Basically we're doing one classic horror movie a week! This week we're joined for the first time by Other Ben! Stay tuned for more spooky shenanigans throughout the month of October.
Ben and Matt are getting to their wits end with this show. Will something exciting happen in episodes 6 or 7? Listen and find out (assuming you've watched the show, otherwise be ready for spoilers)!
Ben and Matt review not one, but TWO episodes of Disney's "hit" Star Wars TV show The Bad Batch. Will there be enough excitement to make this show interesting to discuss? Find out in this exciting episode of The Boyos Discuss.
Ben and Matt continue their journey through Star Wars: The Bad Batch. Is this episode as much of a mixed bag as episodes one and two? Listen and find out!
Ben and Matt discuss Disney's newest Star Wars endeavor. Is it good, or a steaming pile of junk? Find out today!
Matt, Ben, and Ross finish off their review of Zack Snyder's Justice League. Was it all worth it? Listen and find out!
April Fools! Well, sort of. The podcast is less of a joke than the movie is. If you've dreamed of hearing three adults talk about a mediocre family comedy from 2002 for longer than the movie itself then you're in for a treat. Special guest star is Matthew's peaking audio.
We're joined by a couple of new voices in this special one off of The Boyos Discuss. We may do Aliens at some point in the future.
We're ending the review of the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy with a movie that lives in infamy. Will the Boyos enjoy it? Or will they point and laugh at it while people listen? Find out today on The Boyos Discuss.
The Boyos continue their review of the Sam Raimi Spider-Man Trilogy. Matthew makes a big goof.
We're starting a new series on The Boyos Discuss. Does Sam Raimi's classic superhero movie hold-up? Find out.
Is the movie actually good? Or does it's value simply come from memes? Find out on the Texas Winter Storm Special of The Boyos Discuss.
Lot's of technical issues. Blue screens and echoes abound. Our conversation kinda got interrupted a few times because of that, so the flow is a little weird. Enjoy if you're into this.
Another podcast where we talk about a Shrek movie. There's not much else to say besides that. Hopefully the audio isn't too quiet.
Episode two of The Boyos Discuss podcast is a review on a sequel. What a funny coincidence. Anyways, I tried some new things with this episode. Hopefully they work out for the better.
First episode of our Boyos Discuss Podcast. Basically we just talk about our memories of the first Shrek movie for about fifty minutes. Audio is a little wonky and I say "like" a lot. Hopefully that will be better in episode 2.
