The Nice Guys

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are hot on the trail of crime, corruption, and risqué filmmakers in the 2016 film from Shane Black, The Nice Guys.
There’s something foul in the air, and it may just be the entire city of Los Angeles. Oh, and also murder. Private eyes Holland March and Jackson Healy are working together on the case. Not because they want to be, but more because coincidental circumstances, and some broken bones, have forced them together.
The result is something like what you’d get if you turned Diet Coke and Mentos into a couple of detectives. They’re both pretty satisfying (and occasionally inept) apart from each other, but put them together and you’ve got an explosive combination.
Much like all great, pulpy detective stories, this film’s got more going on underneath its surface than it seems at first. What starts as an investigation into the apparent suicide of pornstar, Misty Mountains, leads March and Healy into a seedy world of porn producers, corrupt automakers, and murder.
Like all amazing Shane Black films, this one’s a buddy action-comedy that’ll stick with you for a long time. He doesn’t have to prove his bona fides to anybody by this point. He’s still more than happy to add more excellent storytelling to his already impressive résumé.
