The hot talk around the pool, on the beach and in the Back to School sales this weekend has to be about the “Bad Guys” sequel.

“Wasn’t it cool when…How about when the snake swallowed his girlfriend’s FACE…When the piranha FARTED in his space suit>”

What 6-9 year old could resist it?

These super slick animal kingdom riffs on “Reservoir Dogs” and “Mission: Impossible” are a hoot. And if “The Bad Guys 2” isn’t as hilarious as “Bad Guys 1,” it’s still got lots of giggles provided by a steller, comical voice cast providing a big part of the soundtrack to some genuine Tex Avery style eyeball-popping, gonzo, in-your-face animation.

The Bad Guys — Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Awkwafina, Anthony Ramos and Craig Robinson voicing Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Ms. Tarantula, Mr. Piranha and Mr. Shark — went “good” in their last picture, remember. But that’s rendered the robbers/hackers/masters-of-disguise unemployable.

Mr. Wolf pines for the foxy cat burglar turned fox-Governor Foxington (Zazie Beetz) and tries to find work with all the museums, banks, etc. that he’s robbed. “We’re GOOD guys, now.” No dice.

“People DO want to trust you. You just have to give them a reason!”

With the evil guinea pig Professor Marmalade (Richard Ayoade, a hoot) in prison — and bulked up like a real con when we see him — who’s to blame when new crimes blow up again? Who can be framed for wrecking an epic Lords of Lucha Mexican wrestling championship?

The police chief turned Commissioner (Alex Borstein) lives by her coffee mug’s motto — “I See Guilty People.” She rushes to judgement.

But something’s going on with all this MacGuffinite (Hitchcock fans will snort) being heisted. Can the good guys be blackmailed into going bad again by slinky Kitty (Danielle Brooks), her Slavic warthog muscle Pigtail (Maria Bakalava) and the Snake charming hawk Susan (Natasha Lyonne) and figure out what’s what?

Because these tricksters have something HUGE in mind.

The plot is a “Goldfinger” meets “Moonraker” Bond film mashup with room for wrestling, robbing the MoonX space oligarch Mr. Moon (Colin Jost) and comical chases and brawls from the mean streets all the way into outer space.

I love the way these pictures mimic classic “capers” by giving each character a stand alone moment — the smitten, kombucha-drinking, “Namaste” speaking Snake (Maron) mooning over a girlfriend (Lyonne) with each new sign of her treachery, Awkwafina popping off the tech-nerd speak right up to the moment they can’t get the spacecraft hatch to open.

“Are you KIDDING me? It’s LEFTY LOOSIE!”

And Robinson’s shark presides over a wedding, so you know he’s brought his keyboards for a little singing call-and-response preaching.

The Oscar-winning Rockwell’s vulpine cool sets the tone for these pictures, and that gives the animators license for one visually witty set-up after another.

The Luchadores tourney is a veritable feast of comical cultural cliches about Mexican and Mexican-American (a parking lot of all-low-riders) — visually hilarious, right up to the edge of offensive.

But putting a piranha (Ramos) with a farts-when-he’s-nervous condition into a spacesuit, crammed in there with a snake?

What seven year old would want to be the last on the block to catch that?
