#BoyfriendMaterial: The Ryan Gosling Podcast

The Fall Guy is in theaters now, so we took a #BoyfriendMaterial field trip to watch it and record this spoiler-filled episode! After welcoming in new listeners in the mailbag — and Gosling's new era of acting — we catch up on his busy past few months: hosting SNL, presenting and performing at the Oscars, and much more. We admire the stunt work and appreciating the meta levels on display in The Fall Guy, as well as how it blends elements of past Gosling movies. We talk about how cool Gosling looks — almost improbably so — and how fun the stunt dog Jean Claude is. Joey laments a dropped thread/running joke and talks about his favorite moment in the movie (and why it worked so well). We make our picks for the most and least boyfriend material moments and play through all of our games. With no Gosling movies slated for release until 2026, why not join us over on 2 Fast 2 Forever?

At long last, #BoyfriendMaterial is back to talk about Greta Gerwig's Barbie, and we hope this episode is Kenough for you. As Ryan Gosling returns to a supporting role, so, too, do we return to do more promo for our ongoing show, 2 Fast 2 Forever.  We talk about the bonus content that Barbie is getting for its IMAX release, cover "Canadian Gos on the Los" to look at Gosling's upcoming films, and dig into a lot of Barbie-related trivia (most of which is about Gosling).  We start with our very few critiques of the movie before turning the episode into a love-fest as we analyze the target demo(s) for Barbie, determine where on the scale from Mattel's dream movie to Greta Gerwig's dream movie this falls, and lament Hollywood learning the wrong lessons from this movie's success.  We discuss Ken as horse boy, Gosling's many great lines and improvised moments, and Greta Gerwig's "Movie Church." We wonder whether Barbie gets a cathartic release (the way Ken does) -- and whether or not that matters -- and debate whether or not this is Ryan Gosling's best performance. Joe has a revelation while talking about this movie's soundtrack. We play our many, many games.

Hey girl, you feel that? That's an all-new episode of #BoyfriendMaterial about The Gray Man, which marks Ryan Gosling's triumphant return to acting! We're back with a new episode after nearly three years away from the podcast and four years without a new Ryan Gosling movie. After we take a look at his (stacked!) list of upcoming movies, we dive into The Gray Man, now available on Netflix. We talk about Ryan Gosling as John Wick, praise Ana de Armas, and find ourselves not quite sold on Chris Evans. We wonder if Ryan Gosling is the best looking man to ever be shot with a lens flare, admire stuff that we've never seen in an action movie before, and return to the long list of games we totally forgot about. Grab a bowl of cereal and a pair of headphones because #BoyfriendMaterial is back, girl!
