Shadow Wolves June 2025

I worked at a youth camp in the summers as a teen. Long before the internet, no cable, out in the country with little access to the outside world other that the town of about 500 people of which we had little contact. Mask was one of 3 movies (Amazing Grace and Chuck and Princess Bride were the others) and I watched it a ton during those summers. It hit me hard back then. We'd have movie night for the kids if the weather was bad and all the staff would sit in the back of the room because we knew there would be tears, lol. A movie that I definitely saw at the right age/time/place in my life.

Where does one post questions for the boys for future Shadow Wolves episodes?

Helix mattrix

The transformers/gun runner had me dying in my car 🤣

As a sorcerer, that bridge is not up to code

I listen to old episodes of ABZ in random order while I work, since listening to Shadow Wolves and the claim that this movie comes up all the time, I've heard Rapid Fire and King of New York and Mask is referenced on both.

100% YouTube premium is the best money spent on a streaming service.

You all were circling around it, Galifinakis in Hangover. Also feel like Hoffman in Scent of a Woman, you all even mentioned it in that ep hes barely in it but leaves an impression.

YouTube premium does seem like the only truly worth it + service but do I feel that way because google made YouTube nearly usable

Since it appears to be divisive to viewers, and it didn’t get discussed on this pod due to timing… SMASH the heart button on this comment if you thought 28 Years Later is the best movie of the year so far, by far!

The Best Movies Never Made podcast just covered the Mario Puzo “Superman” script.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I got so excited when Rodger’s started reading from the Beauty and the Beast fan fic 😂

28 Years Later was such a massive disappointment to me, so many strange and terrible ideas that just don't pay off and I wish I could get my $20 back.

Hell yeah

I’m confident if son of the mask would ever be covered it’d make 3000 miles to Graceland look like Heat

I grew up in Spain and my mum sat me down and made me watch this as an important film, so whatever PSA push there was behind this it went international

I just found my copy of Super Folk I swiped from my dad in the 90s. Last time I thought about it, I found a quote about Alan Moore denying having read it, but it definitely has a similar concept to the later Miracleman (Marvelman).

The Boyz need to do a weepy month

1:25:44 - Bruce Springsteen impressions. 😆👍🏻

"As a beekeeper..." has the legs to become a recurring bit.

There's a new movie out about three Improv Actors going undercover in London's Underworld. Bryce Dallas Howard. Orlando Bloom: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31121295/?ref_=ext_shr

Whitman, Price, and Hadad were the names of the “winners” mentioned in The Running Man. Weirdly, I remember watching both this and Mask a lot as a young latchkey kid. They were both in heavy rotation on HBO I believe. I remember feeling a rollercoaster of emotions as a child watching Mask but not ever crying. Today watching the trailer and the boys talking about certain moments had me tear up. Getting old and shifting perspectives are wild!

Not ashamed to say hearing them talk about this film made me tear up. Really lovely to hear them speak about an empathetic film with such sincerity (amidst all the hilarious bits)

Mask was on TV all the time when I was a kid and Stoltz’s face really freaked me out. I remember this episode of Unsolved mysteries playing around the same time featuring a segment and mug shot of a some weird looking guy with long red hair who murdered a few hitch hikers, in my mind it was Rocky Dennis, gave me nightmares. This time around, I loved it. It seriously got to me. I have to admit, as a new father, I was basically in tears over Chers grief at a the end. But damn, Sam Elliott is a stud in this one. I want that free mustache rides shirt.

Shadow Wolves is a great reminder the rent is due soon. Thanks Action Boyz!
