The extremely R-rated Good Boys is helping close out the summer movie season this week. I’ve been looking forward to Good Boys for months, ever since the trailer dropped.

Lion King – Animated vs Broadway vs Live Action
The “live action” (actually CGI, folks) remake of The Lion King is hitting theaters. This new version of the Disney 1994 classic features significant differences. Now is a great time to return to Pride Rock — and revisit Simba, Nala, Timon, Pumbaa, Mufasa, Zazu, and Rafiki — as we compare the animated, Broadway, and the…
