It would appear that when creators Matt Tory and J.J. Carroll got together to plan one last season of their riotous comedy series, they decided to take The Beech Boys out with a bang. Season 3 is bigger, longer and more adventurous than previous seasons. Taking the neighbourhood - and everyone in it - to places you'd never expect. It's more insane than a live action remake of Cars 2! Even Todd (Joshua James) is way more unhinged than normal - if that's possible. And who can blame him when there's a criminal conspiracy tearing its way through the heart of the community? I mean it must be bad if the FBI are willing to rely on Trey and Ethan for intel. But imagine how great the podcast will be!
Once again, Tory and Carroll dig into their love of popular culture to put a unique and crazy spin on every episode. Each one a hysterical parody. Nothing is safe from these two - including themselves, their friends and every medium of entertainment known to humankind. If you were horrified by 127 Hours, imagine what that would look like... poolside! How about a discussion on time travel more complicated than the one Tony Stark and his pals had in Avengers: Endgame... poolside? Of course, Home Improvement still isn't safe. For that matter, it probably never will be. But will Todd finally get the reboot he's been fighting for? Which just so happens to be one of many big questions tackled in this third and final season. Have you ever wondered what the world's wildest bachelor party would look like? Or how cute a moustachioed, stop-motion snowman with the voice a Morgan Freeman impersonator must be? And most important of all; will Trey actually learn something this season?
Even with all the farcical antics, musical numbers, and delightful stop-motion tales of obscure holidays, Tory and Carroll still find time for the odd emotional moment - more so than ever before - some of which are actually rather relatable. This brings a surprising amount of depth to our heroes and their quest. They are shown to be more than simply the egomaniacal arse, the tool, and their slightly unhinged, Tim Allen obsessed friend. Although, seriously. Should we be worried about the whole Tim Allen obsession? Either way, just when you think things are getting all too heavy and emotional, the show smacks you back into reality. By which I mean it hits you with yet more hysterical lunacy. And that's the beauty of this show; you never really know where it's going to go. Every episode is its own madcap adventure. Which makes it all the more amazing that Tory and Carroll are able to wrangle this madness they have created, and bring it to such a satisfying - and hilarious - conclusion. They really have brought The Beech Boys full circle, and in a way no one would have ever thought possible.
In their third and final season The Beech Boys go out with a bang. Creators Matt Tory and J.J. Carroll have taken the show on a rollercoaster ride of laughs and emotions in search of the perfect ending, and boy did they find it. More importantly, it serves as an important reminder to always treat your pool cleaners nicely... because you never know what they'll do if you don't!
