Be Reel

The boys are back to belatedly send out 2016. They start with a full-on review of LA LA LAND, arguing whether its half-commitment to the musical genre is a problem. At 16:20, they apply their rating system to ROGUE ONE, trying to divorce its quality from the STAR WARS universe. At 21:25, they hand out some BRG superlatives for 2016 in film, like who acted most shamelessly, what performers caught the break they needed, and they shout out Viola Davis, Ryan Reynolds, and more. They wrap up at 30:20, taking down awful trailers for Jan + Feb movies and previewing 2017. Happy new year, listeners! Hang in and hang out.
