Ryan Gosling the man of a few facial expressions has descended on this episode from heaven above to grace us with his wonderful...uh, grace.  Either way, this week we're going to review the newly released Shane Black film The Nice Guys and things get all uncomfortable as a review of Nicholas Winding Refn's Only God Forgives turns into an impromptu therapy session.  Of course.
