Gael Boys

In this episode, the boys close off spooky season by covering one of the greatest and most influential movies of all time. 1973's 'The Exorcist.' Getting into it's themes, troubled production and how it's still better than 99% of trash that comes out now. Also talk of recent elections around the world, the lunacy that was 70s filmmaking, the line between religion and madness, plus Liam's unbridled hatred for Mike Flanagan,

New pod is out and this week Jordan is joined by long running guest John and new guest President of the Glasgow Doctor Who appreciation society David Cherry to talk about the weird and sometimes contradictory politics of Britain's flagship sci-fi drama. We discuss fake news, failed attempts at white washing history, nazi metaphors and why Uncle RTD should stick to writing about himself.

In this episode, the boys celebrate spooky season with a look back on the Resident Evil film series. A two decade long odyssey of cultural changes, bad special effects and how it closes mirrors the video games that inspired it with it's ups and downs. Also talk of the third anniversary of October 7, the cultural wasteland that was the 2000s, looming economic collapse and how vulgar auteurism won the future of cinema.

In this episode, the boys return to Star Trek and cover the Obama era of movies from 2009 to 2016. The result is so underwhelming we barely talk about them. Instead how the entire early 2010s media landscape must be revaluated as soon as possible. Also talk of the breakup of the UK, the plight of the Yemenis people, Recession-core media and how Star Trek no longer feels relevant in a post American empire world. 

In this episode, the boys are once again joined by American correspondent Snel to cover the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and talk about the 2012 oddity 'Zero Dark Thirty.' A movie that both works a time capsule for when it was made, while also working as a preview for the last decade plus of foreign policy. Also talk of Charlie Kirk's legacy as a meme, how America paid for it's excesses with debt, Obama era cinema and the benefits of cannibalism.

In this episode, the boys return for more Star Trek and nostalgic wanking with 'The Next Generation' run of films. We walked into this one feeling good, and left only liking one of the four we have to talk about. Things only get worse from here. Also talk of Trump's increasingly bizarre day to day activates, the saga of the USS Abraham Lincoln, the slow death of 1990s optimism and how it set the stage for the last 25 years. 

In this episode, the boys buckle in for another long-form series with Star Trek.  Covering the movies from the six films cannon to the original series. Warts and all. Also talk of the never-ending war in Iran, the delusional mindset of our elite class, how the economy of television changed for the worst, and how it all ties into the collapse of the west's creature comforts. 

In this episode, Jordan takes Liam on a journey through time and space by discussing the bizarre yet enjoyable Doctor Who tv movie. The bois discuss the wilderness period, franchise fatigue and Lindsay Grahams ladybugs.

In this special political edition of Gael Boys, Jordan is joined by fellow britbongs John and Eliot to discuss the rise and fall of Sir Keir Rodney Starmer. We discuss his numerous own goals, minor vs major corruption, Peter Mandelsons malignant influence on British politics and ultimately what Sir Keir will be remembered for.

In this episode, the boys try to get hip with modern culture by covering one of 2026's biggest cinematic sensations. Kane Parsons' Backrooms. A great horror film in it's own right. But also works as a commentary on decades of consumerism and capitalist greed have created the ultimate depiction of hell on earth. Also updates in the endless stalemate war in Iran, the guarantied rise of the West's answer to Pol Pot, Gen Z's justified nihilism and how our modern world is just the Backrooms, forced to copy itself forever.
