VIDEO: Shadow Wolves August 2025

On HBO political comedies, loved The Pentagon Wars when I was 15/16.

First thing I thought about when they mentioned Hanks - Freaky Tales. Sleepy Floyd is ABZ all day.

Have the boyz seen the Elephant Graveyard vids about the Austin comedy scene yet? Goddamn amazing, clearly inspired by Hypernormalization docs in the best way

I’ll plug a great Hanks cameo from a new movie: Freaky Tales. Fun movie, not perfect, but very strong ending. Also, you get to see a bunch of neo nazis get their asses kicked in 1987 Oakland.

I took my son to see the new Superman in IMAX 3D at AMC and the two tickets together were $52 which was bonkers but we had gift cards he got as a present so we went for it. During the movie we heard some random noise during a quieter part and a family of a dad, mom, and five kids had both an iPad and an iPhone going for the kids. It was surreal but also I could t get over how much the tix cost so their kids couldn’t watch the movie.

Incredible recommendation with the fort bragg book, I woulda pushed hard to get into delta if I knew you got to boof black tar heroin with the boys

Boys I know this isn’t relevant to this episode but I got really stoned after a long week and fired up the criterion collection and suburbia cause I’m a Linklater head and remember loving this film and I GOTTAAAAA hear Rodgers discuss this movie. I feel like it’s gotta be a Ben movie. Anyways keep up the great work and appreciate you three you make life better and fun. ❤️

Can't believe this is relevant, but my book is about suburban fear and paranoia in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. I cover environmental, moral, and criminal threats and how they were used by white suburbanites to 'justify' all kinds of expressions of power. Of most interest here is a chapter on crime and home security that has a section vigilantes including analysis of Death Wish 2 and Sudden Impact. Anyway, might be of interest to the Boyz and some janitors. It's too expensive but might be at your library - https://bookshop.org/p/books/neighborhood-of-fear-the-suburban-crisis-in-american-culture-1975-2001-kyle-riismandel/14430496

From time to time I'll say indisputable stuff like Back to Future, Aliens or Die Hard are my favourite '80s movies, but deep in my heart I know its really The 'Burbs and Clue.

One cool thing about Rick Ducommun is he's from the early skateboard scene. He had a board company with his brother called Skull Skates in the late '70s.

Stanger looking like a firme vato 👌🏽😎 looking good, big dawg.

I've posted here before that I worked at a movie theater my senior year of high school. We weren't Kung Fu monks, but if we were working ushering duty, we had to sit in the back row with a flashlight to keep shit civilized and tell people to shut up and get their feet off the seats. The opening night of Rambo 3 I had to do my best to keep a bunch of Guidos I went to school with quiet.

Stanger, is that a vintage JCPenny Big Mac flannel?

Stanger should be a publicist for animal actors. Or maybe an agent.

I’m the drag months isn’t about actual car drag racing, we can’t be poaching movies from Carch. Still waiting on Cronenberg’s Fast Company.

Oh fuck dude someone was eating popcorn at the movies?

Stanger’s world falling apart as Ben explains the impact of wild caught salmon.

The Marine Stewardship Council releases a list of seafood and its impact on the environment, organized by how safe it is to eat w/r/t ecology.

Rick Ducommun was also the founder of Skull Skates, which is Canada's longest-running skate shop/company.

I remember watching this Rick Ducommun standup special on HBO in early 90s. He also had a good role in the weird John Travolta comedy “The Experts” that was inescapable on cable for a time. https://youtu.be/pm72u9wVX98?si=eaOYt4YLaKsT9187

Holy shit. Gabrus mentioning marvel vs capcom activated me. Jill, Sakura, cpt. Commando enjoyer over here

Davante Adams DOES have a Taco Bell in his house. My uncle works for Taco Bell and he said it's true.

Hell yeah

Dylan paints a lot of random scenes from movies like the bar from Sorcerer, probably of most interest to the janitorial staff

Davante Adams doesn't really have a Taco Bell in his house. That is just brainwashing from the incessant ad campaign.

Taco Bell had a commercial with Davante Adams but he doesn’t actually own a home w Taco Bell in it

This intro reminds me of Forbes on Snl.

What I pray for from late stage Tom Hanks is a LA crime thriller with Tom Cruise. They deserve an excellent movie together like Heat that uses both of them well. Maybe hanks is a scruffy old detective and cruise plays a bad guy? Or you switch those roles.

Sarcastic Hanks is the GOAT

The walkman was huge for Sony and they were just trying to evolve it in the bluntest way imaginable: audio -> video.

Is it possible the weapons pyscho just had a vibrator up his ass?
