Gooby (2009) - SO BAD THEY'RE GOOD REVIEW

In this episode of All2ReelToo’s SO BAD THEY’RE GOOD series, we bravely venture into the bizarre family-fantasy fever dream that is Gooby (2009). When 11-year-old Willy is struggling through a rough patch, his childhood toy springs to life—literally. Enter Gooby: a six-foot-tall, furry, imaginary(?) monster who crashes into reality to help Willy cope… whether anyone asked for that help or not. What follows is a wildly strange mix of heart, confusion, and unintentionally hilarious moments that must be seen (and discussed) to be believed. We break down the plot, the performances, and the many “choices” this movie makes—asking the important question: is Gooby a misunderstood family film, or a hall-of-fame entry in so-bad-they’re-good cinema? Starring: Robbie Coltrane as Gooby (voice) David James Elliott as Jack Dandridge Ingrid Kavelaars as Elize Dandridge Matthew Knight as Willy Dandridge Eugene Levy as Mr. Nerdlinger Mary Haney as Mrs. Williams Len Doncheff as Mr. Ogilvey Paula Boudreau as Mrs. Deacon Elle Downs as Mrs. Donnelly Ricky Hegarty as Colin Alexander Conti as Eric Luke Bilyk as Cute Kid Jack Duffy as Grocery Store Manager Daniel DeSanto as Crane Avery Bisbee as Little Girl ️ Press play and relive the nightmare… we mean nostalgia. #All2ReelToo #SoBadTheyreGood #Gooby #BadMovies #CultCinema #MoviePodcast #FamilyFantasyGoneWrong #WTFMovies #PodcastLife Listen now: all2reeltoo.com Support the show: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/cullenpark/membership Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/user/cullenpark ️ Catch Mike's captivating chats on: Pop Culture Junkie discussing the 1983 V Miniseries: https://popculturejunkie.com/podcast/looking-at-v-with-michael-e-cullen/ Movie Smash Podcast discussing #GhostWorld (2001): https://www.movie-smash.com/episodes/episode/32534003/episode-18-ghost-world-2001-special-guest-michael-e-cullen-ii-from-the-all2reeltoo-podcast Film Talk with Jordan Ramirez, chatting about #Once (2007): https://youtu.be/fubJGxZ3NSU?si=ptSlTewm72LTVspQ Spoiler Alert with Ryan Moore and Matt discussing #MadameWeb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRXjJGtzdlU Spoiler Alert with Ryan Moore discussing #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHvsYPsvLBM&t=1471s The Family Fright Night Horror Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7kstbpDOnLQeI8BQGLzina Enjoy eerie tunes by host Matthew Haase - https://www.youtube.com/@LimitlessMatt Support us on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/CullenPark, shop our spooktacular merch - http://tee.pub/lic/CullenPark, and catch Mike on The Nerdball Podcast - https://pod.fo/e/ba2aa Help fund our friend Mark Klein's funeral: https://www.gofundme.com/f/honoring-mark-kleins-legacy Make a difference with these organizations: Palestine Children's Relief Fund: https://www.pcrf.net/information-you-should-know/how-to-help-palestine.html Trans Lifeline: https://translifeline.org/ The Hotline: https://www.thehotline.org/ Matthew Perry Foundation: https://matthewperryfoundation.org/ The Trevor Project: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/ HRC Foundation: https://www.hrc.org/hrc-story/hrc-foundation Point Foundation: https://pointfoundation.org/ Direct Relief: https://www.directrelief.org/ NAACP Legal Defense Fund: https://www.naacpldf.org/ Black Voters Matter Fund: https://www.blackvotersmatterfund.org Tahirih Justice Center: https://www.tahirih.org/ Mona Foundation: https://www.monafoundation.org/ Learn more about your ad choices.
