The pure joy on Rodgers' face when he told Gabrus that he watched Task ironically justifies watching Shadow Wolves on video.
Did the research no one asked for but I watched American Ninja 2 because they had it on bluray at the rental shop and this is(or is close to) the knife Dudikoff uses to cut through the fence. https://germanysolingen.com/en/products/km-4000
Apropos of nothing, there's a movie called Gunslingers on Netflix with Stephen Dorff and Nic Cage. Go watch arch the opening credits. No less than 7 production logos. It goes for like 8 minutes.
Late to the party. My Halloween costume this year was St. Elmo's Fire: an Elmo onesie under a firefighter costume, draped in a large cross pendant and a priest's sash. One fucking person got it.
Honestly that’s a win
Happy Ninjavember
Having been raised by a couple gloom and doom boomers, I was so worried Stanger was sick after seeing his hat. Thanks for clarifying. I'll go back to worrying about other things now.
"Oh my god I can see his ribs! ...oh wait."
Friedkin shot a scene at The Tombs as well. Great space; and the braised beef tagliatelle…fuhgetaboutit
Yeah Ben is right about the song (Man in motion) .I saw Rick Hansen go by my elementary school during his man in motion tour. Then later in my twenties when I was working at a hardware store where I sold Rick Hansen a fishing license to go sturgeon fishing in the Fraser River.
Joel Schumacher has such a strange, eclectic filmography with his two Batman movies being strange outliers. Like I have this weird theory if you had handed him Batman Year One and The Killing Joke and said, “Here. Make this.”, right after Lost Boys he would have made something akin to The Dark Knight or The Batman with Jason Patric or James Spader in the lead.
I talked so much shit about the Schumacher Batmans in my 20s but these days they're the only ones I revisit yearly... I don't think I've ever revisited Batman Begins or The Dark Knight Rises since seeing them in theaters.
Y'all read any of the Slow Horses books? Just ran into Shane Black and he was reading it. Said it was great. We got to talking about Lee Child. SB liked Echo Burning and One Shot, hated Don't Go Back.
Empire Records makes St Elmo’s Fire look like Willy Dynamite.
One last thing. Crumb is in the new Drew Friedman doc and he comes off so normal and put together, I was surprised. The movie is fantastic and really funny as well. And Thomas rules.
did he get medicated or something haha
I watched St. Elmo's Fire on VHS as soon as it came out because I loved the song. I was 15 and I remember three things. I hated everyone, the hooker telling McCarthy she thought he was gay, and I thought the suicide attempt was stupid.
In the sixth grade my friend Jason went as an alien from V for Halloween cause V was a big deal. It was all homemade and looked awesome. He had the red and black jumpsuit and hat, the sunglasses and he did an amazing make up job with torn fake flesh and green scales .
With the end of the Headgum era, I'm curious about the fate of the Beauty + Beast fanfic volume. I'd like to contribute to the show's growing library but I want to be sure these crucial, beautiful artifacts are preserved.
There's more of Stanger's Canada experience story on "The Dumbbells" podcast. It sounds like a low-low budget thing that he'll probably mention when it gets released.
I know I will be roasted for this but our Halloween tradition in Ohio in the 80s was we would go “Corning” this involved stealing tons of feed corn from farmers, shucking it then when night fell we would throw handfuls of corn kernels at people’s houses and cars driving by. It almost always ended in adults yelling and chasing us and running from the cops. I’ve lived all over the country and have never met anyone else who grew up doing this sadly.
I love that Gabrus pitched Stone doing an obscure anime character costume and It was somehow even more obscure than that
I’m a big fan of Magdalena Bay, and I would’ve never expected
2000’s comedy where Dev Patel plays the head of the FBI and doesn’t know what he’s doing
Please tell me that the Beauty and the Beast fan Zine is staying at Headgum in perpetuity?
*crossing my fingers* that the new set looks like the old Stern set.
Channel 9 era?
I’m with Stanger on the calories theory for the old lady. It’s hard for old people to eat enough so she’s just getting an extra 450 calories a day that she doesn’t have to think about.
Hey Stanger, when can we see the thing you filmed? Do we have to download a Cinemax app or something?
For Stanger - any time I ever go to a convention and see someone dressed as the popular Metal Gear Solid video game character, Solid Snake, I always make a point to tell them they’ve a great Rambo cosplay.
Stanger on behalf of all of Canada I will confirm that Air Canada is a piece of shit. That's just how it is. But I hope Toronto treated you well. Go Blue Jays
Stanger was a Dancer?? Like statham in right said Fred?? Also no went was me for Halloween??
Kash Patel looks like he's high on coke 24/7
The bucket hat makes Stanger look like an undercover cop at a concert

chick at my work that drank 3 dr peppers a day got cancer and died :(
It all balances out. Yin and yang.

I was watching a BBC global video about some community that was built by Frank Lloyd Wright and the person they were interviewing was 100 years old and it's so interesting seeing how if you make it that long, you are just incredibly capable. It's amazing to live through the Great depression and the civil rights movement to see the iPhone Air and then get see the beginnings of a new great depression and new civil rights movement.
