Good Boys

From the producers who brought us "Superbad" (2007) comes this comedy about three young friends desperate to get to a party to prove just how cool they really are. Best friends Max (Tremblay), Lucas (Williams) and Thor (Noon) are doing their best to navigate the social minefield that is sixth grade. When Max is invited to a party that could lead to a chance to kiss his crush, Brixlee (Davis), the trio set out to gather as much information about kissing as they can. They use Max's dad's drone to spy on Hannah (Gordon), a neighbor with a lot of kissing experience, but lose the drone in the process. They must retrieve the drone by any means necessary while planning for the party of their lives. And, of course, hilarity ensues.

Director: Gene Stupnitsky. Stars: Jacob Tremblay, Keith L. Williams, Brady Noon, Molly Gordon, Midori Francis, Millie Davis, Izaac Wang, Will Forte, Lil Rel Howery, Retta, Michaela Watkins. 2019. 90 mins. Comedy.

The boat is then stolen by troubled fisherman Tyler (LaBeouf), who discovers the stowaway and tries to leave him behind. When Tyler witnesses Zak getting dangerously bullied by some kids, he decides to keep Zak with him and drop him off at the wrestling school on his way to Florida. As the unlikely pair journey together, they are pursued by Zak's caregiver, Eleanor (Johnson), as well as some less-friendly faces. It's a journey of growth and love that will pull at your heart strings.

Q: Many years ago, I remember a Saturday morning sitcom named "Bailey Kipper's P.O.V." It was about a boy who documented his family and friends' lives on videotape. I'm wondering if it ever made it onto DVD.

Memory's a tricky thing, especially childhood memory. Time spans seem longer when you've only been alive for a few years, so that a show that was only on for a few weeks can seem like a TV mainstay.

Such is the case with "Bailey Kipper's P.O.V." The Saturday morning sitcom only aired from September to December of 1996 -- 13 episodes in total. And, unfortunately, that lack of longevity means it never got a DVD release.

The 10th and final season of Showtime's longest-running original series premieres Sunday, Nov. 10. In simplest terms, "Shameless" is a chronicling of the Gallagher family. They're poor yet shockingly well adjusted, considering the circumstances -- this South Chicago family has seen more than its fair share of grief and strife.

It's possible that "Cooper's Treasure" will stay buried forever.

There's been no formal announcement of cancellation, but like good treasure hunters, we can follow the clues that are available to get to the truth.

To start with, Discovery hasn't aired a new episode of the series since Aug. 17, 2018 -- that was the end of the second season.
