Good Boy Explained: The Horror Movie That Hits Different
Can a dog really deliver an award-worthy performance… or is something deeper happening beneath the surface?
In this episode of Parallel Frequencies with Just Blane & Coco, we break down Good Boy, the unconventional horror film that shocked awards season by honoring Indy the dog over veteran human actors. What starts as skepticism turns into a powerful conversation about grief, control, death, and what it really means to be a “good boy.”
This isn’t a typical horror review. It’s a meditation on obedience, authenticity, and the quiet ways we’re trained to keep the peace even when it costs us ourselves.
Highlights
Why Good Boy isn’t really about ghosts, but about grief and looming death
The brilliance of filming horror entirely from a dog’s perspective
“Good boy” as conditioning, not praise
How we project our own fear, dread, and meaning onto animals
Death, illness, codependency, and choosing authenticity over approval
Why this movie hits differently depending on where you are in life
