Moustache Lockdown Streaming Survival Guide Part 18 | The Beech Boys Season 2

In times of Covid-19 and lockdown, use of private swimming pools must have sky-rocketed, which means one group of people will be very busy indeed. For the rest of us it means we finally get a second season of their hilarious show. That's right, get your Hawaiian shirts out, because The Beech Boys are back!

Don't forget to check out our Moustache Lockdown Streaming Survival Guide in its entirety, you can find it by clicking here.

It has been a whole two weeks since we last saw The Beech Boys, and they've certainly been through a lot. Who knew the life of a pool cleaner could be so dramatic? Between the everyday stress of cleaning pools and enjoying the sun in beautiful California, our heroes must deal with broken hearts, health scares, an election, aggressive business expansion, and death. Will Trey (series creator J.J. Carroll) and Ethan (Zach Castle) be able to hold it together?

I know, I know, it may have only been two weeks within the confines of the story, but here in the real world we've had to wait almost two years for season 2. Well it's finally here and you can rest assured... it was definitely worth the wait! Life on the Beechwood Estate is as mad as ever, and there's still tension between the Beech Boys and the residents, well one resident anyway. With an upcoming election (Home Owners Association, not the national one), the boys place in the neighbourhood is far from safe, which leads to some pretty tense confrontations, and Ferris Bueller references aside, it's always fun watching Trey and Ethan deal with it in a very professional way. A side plot in which their colleague Cedric (director/creator Matt Tory) takes inspiration from certain "families" and "syndicates" in order to expand the business also has some hilarious results.

As with season 1 the stars are the real selling point of this show. Trey is still the egomaniacal arse we know and love. But this time around he's dealing with some heavy stuff, stuff that forces him to face his feelings, and to be a better person. Well he tries anyway, and watching him do so is hilarious, as he goes about it in ways only Trey can. As usual it's Ethan and Todd (Joshua James) - now promoted from groupie to fully fledged member of the Beech Boys - who must bear the brunt of Trey. There is more to life and cleaning pools however, than just Trey - not that I think Trey realises that - something Ethan learns when a potential romance comes his way. Things get emotional - not to mention, musical - as their expanding world has unforeseen effects on their friendship. Todd on the other hand is simply his delightfully excitable yet oblivious self. It's Courtney Coker's 'Callie' who's a little missed this season, although her conspicuous absence does lead to some ingenious use of an iPad, not to mention a strange interpretation of what constitutes a double-date.

This show is exactly the kind of escapism we need at times like these. Some hysterical, off the wall, unabashed entertainment. Anyone familiar with Good.Clean.Fun and their other works (We Make Movies, Beyond the Blockbusters) will recognise the love for their craft that these guys share and the fun they have doing it - something that shines through in every episode of the show. It's unbelievable what they're able to do within the confines of a ten minute episode. In season 2, the Beech Boys' continuing reign of irritation over the Beechwood Estate is explored through some bold new mediums, including that of a musical, and a telethon shot in a similar fashion to the movie 'Searching'. Nothing is safe, not even birthday parties - watch out for the most intense game of musical chairs ever seen! It's not only impressive, it's an absolute blast.

Another hilarious outing for The Beech Boys. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll even be pleased to see them... but you still won't want them to clean your pool!

8/10

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning | Average Guy Movie Review

Two months after acquiring both halves of the cruciform key, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is ready to put an end to the Entity, once and for all. However, in that time the rogue A.I. has increased its stranglehold on cyber space and the planet. Spreading lies and misinformation, the people of the world are divided more than ever, and governments are on high alert. All of which should make it rather difficult, maybe even impossible for Ethan and his team to find a sunken Russian submarine and, use whatever they find there to kill the artificial intelligence that's slowly taking control of the world's nuclear arsenals. It is entirely possible that Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning could be the most anxiety inducing instalment of the franchise - the second half, anyway. Once again, Tom Cruise puts himself through the absolutely ludicrous in the name of entertainment... and a possible adrenaline addiction. Every scenario in which Ethan and the gang find themselves seems to be d...

Jason Bourne: Spoiler Review

I don't usually write spoiler filled reviews because I don't see the point. But considering my not so positive review of Jason Bourne, one of the most highly anticipated movies of Summer 2016, I thought it might be worth trying to explain why I reached the verdict I did. If you haven't seen this movie stop reading because there are spoilers ahead. Click here to see the spoiler free review. The movie begins with Bourne in Greece. He's laying low, making money by competing in underground fights and still struggling with his past. He lacks purpose which is making him miserable. Nicky Parsons on the other hand is busy hacking the CIA in order to expose their black ops programs. So far so good. But when Nicky finds something out about Jason's (or should I say David's) past, she heads to Greece to find him. Unfortunately her activities have drawn the attention of CIA Agent Heather Lee (Alicia Vikander), a cyber ops specialist who begins to track her. Using a ...

4DX – Is it worth it or just a gimmick?

Having watched the promo video what do you think? This week I saw Ghostbusters in 4DX and it definitely made the movie more of a ride. In fact 4DX feels like it was designed to appeal to the roller coaster crowd but will you miss the experience when watching the same movies at home? When I saw Ghostbusters for the second time I decided to view it in 4DX because I wanted to know what the "environmental effects" did for the movie going experience. If you want to know what I thought of Ghostbusters check out my Average Guy Movie Review . In my honest opinion; right now 4DX is more of a gimmick than an experience. The movement, air bursts, smoke and spraying water were more of a distraction than anything else, all of which felt out of sink with the movie. The effects like the strobe lights went off a split second before whatever they were supposed to augment happened. For example; during a subway scene, the Ghostbusters find a ghost in the tunnel who had been executed u...
