Ep. 90 | Materialist: A Modern Dating Story

About this episode

The Boys discuss the film The Materialist, exploring its themes, aesthetics, and humor.

The Boys are back this week discussing The Materialist, a film that had us asking: is this deep... or just doing the most for no reason? We get into everything from the aesthetic choices to the existential monologues, and whether the message actually lands or just floats somewhere in a sea of vibes. Was it thought-provoking? Was it pretentious? Was it accidentally hilarious? We break it all down, argue a little, and probably overthink it (as usual). Tap in for laughs, hot takes, and maybe a little film therapy.
