Rodgers zones out when launch pad mcquack is talking
Guessing the movie Ben mentioned with Pleasance and Lee is Death Line/Raw Meat which has one of the greatest 70s movie posters ever. Movie is fun too.
Book XVI of The Gwarlok Chronicles is when it starts to get good. #ZombSquad4Lyfe
Not that you asked for these, but two book recommendations. The first is one that I have not read but feels like you might dig. It is also possibly one you all read years ago and have brought up on the show and I am forgetting-- it is stuntman turned writer director Hal Needham's 2011 memoir "Stuntman!: My Car-Crashing, Plane-Jumping, Bone-Breaking, Death-Defying Hollywood Life". I had never heard of it (that I remember) and it came up in a promo for a screening of Hooper at Museum of the Moving Image this weekend. Looks like there is no audiobook of it, so I'm out, but it seems like something you would get some fun anecdotes out of. PS- Looks like you did Hooper on the show a few years ago, I'd imagine this book came up then. And the other I have read and meant to plug anytime there has been talk about the influence of '80s toys on culture- the nonfiction graphic novel from 2023 The He-Man Effect: How American Toymakers Sold You Your Childhood by Brian Box Brown (It is not as depressing as it sounds). It is a really compelling meditation/ deconstruction basically of how deregulation led to unfettered TV advertising, supporting a boom in commercially-minded toy IP. Which explains both why that era could be so cynical, but also giving a market explanation for why a lot of those toys were pretty fucking great, too. Anyway it's a great read. Feels like a well thought out documentary, but in comics language. Sort of a fast read for a little hardcover book, so it might make or a library borrow. You might know his work from the Andre the Giant graphic biography he did about 10 years go.
I don't get the fans who get upset at the movie choices. I don't particularly like most action movies. I listen and watch because I love the show. That being said, it'd be just swell if someday they do "Silverado".
i like the episodes where they cover shit I've never even heard of and the classics, this is how i win
If anyone wants to vibe with some Z Channel, the Internet Archive has some of their interstitial content and movie intros. https://archive.org/details/youtube-222iL7q8gYA (or just search for “z channel”)
This "Z Magazine of the Air" is fascinating : https://archive.org/details/110523-0537
ABZ Channel I came for Rambo, I stayed for Certain Fury.
how bout you sideburns, you want some of this milk?
Hell ya Few Good Men. Was the first comfort movie I watched in Nov 2024 after trump won and JT Walsh stole the show, when he was slumped over sadly eating chinese food felt so relatable.
I ran through a glass door in 1st grade and that’s how we figured out that I needed glasses.
You addressed a problem with large piece of glass by applying two small pieces of glass. It's like homeopathy.
Hell yeah
I don’t know if you’ve seen the David Lynch Auction stuff ActionBoyz but I feel like this one might be up Rodgers’ alley. https://www.juliensauctions.com/en/items/1426305/david-lynch-signed-posters
so goddamn expensive but the only auction I'd ever consider buying from
Great pick for the QL episode! Now I'm wondering how long until you do a MacGyver, I've been rewatching it and gotta recommend S3.E16 ∙ The Spoilers, MacGyver teams up with Randall "Tex" Cobb, a Vietnam Vet turned Mountain Man, to take down some polluters after they kill his dog. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0638793/?ref_=ttep_ep_16
Hell yeah, Stanger rocking the Prince shirt.
Coke big in ATL rn
holy shit how much security do you need at a graduation?
The Action Boyz curse strikes again: Gabrus mentions Duck Dynasty when recording weeks ago and Phil Robertson dies.
good, they're weaponizing it to target the scum of the earth now
