GOOD BOY puts a man between God and the devil and does not ask him to pick a team. Oliver wants to be good when he also wants to be bad. Both figures work on him. Abraxas appears in the cut — the same current as UNKNOWN GOD: light and shadow as one thing, not a vote.
Male nudity is in the frame. The body is part of the ritual, not a prize for sitting through the theology. Initiation here is fantastical on purpose. God and Satan are not opposites fighting over him. They are the pressure that makes a man stop performing innocence.
The longer writeup lives on the magazine: GOOD BOY. This page is the video.
