The Nice Guys (2016):
Films from the Treehouse concludes August’s Comedy Duo theme with a modern movie set in L.A. in 1977. It’s the 2016 Shane Black action comedy The Nice Guys! Join Alex, Jesse, and Garrett as they discuss their favorite scenes, quotes and overall thoughts about the cinematic throwback comedy. Alex even recreates his favorites with a loaded weapon. Thankfully nobody got hurt, at least I think they died quickly.
The film stars two leads that might not be the first one would name for a comedy: Russell Crowe (L.A. Confidential, Gladiator) and Ryan Gosling (Young Hercules, Nothing Too Good for a Cowboy). It’s important to remember that the ankle gun was only in your dreams and Hitler only had one ball. Plus, in the film, there are a whole host of cameos, vintage porno, and anachronisms. So, come on over Big Boy and tell us how much you like the car.
The Nice Guys is available on Blu-ray and to rent on Amazon.
