Dude….. AN 3 blood hunt and AN 4 the annihilation sound awesome can’t wait for next ninjavember
Jokes on Gabris, I wear sleeveless Hawaiians when I play punk shows. Its liberating
Gabrus is very funny on the new episode of “Guys”.
“It’s like an orgy at a Motel 6” is my new favorite saying.
Does anyone know if Rogers has ever mentioned the books he’s read for dog training? About to adopt a pup and want to read up as much as I can. His IG story of Jane jumping through his arms was inspiring
I seem to remember them mentioning Don't shoot the Dog as someones favorite book but i dont know if they were endorsing it or saying its a dumb fav book.
Deadbeat ninja dad might be my all-time favorite Action Boyz riff.
Gotta know more about Snake Pope.
Stanger’s description of a young person’s experience with USA’s Up All Night sounds very familiar.
the short-sleeve wetsuit with the little adidas trainers is such a great look… we love ya Dudi 💕
Literally went to school with a Charles Farley who did go by Charley.
Last night I went down a Steve James rabbit hole and learned his daughter who was born shortly before his passing is a vocalist for Enrique Iglesias. Touring Europe and selling out venues ain’t a bad gig. Good for her
Lol....as a kid I used to sneak up to watch USA Up All Night hoping to see something. Maybe they'll accidentally shoe something during Beach Babes From Beyond
(Country music twang) Skeet Scoot ‘n’ Tooty
Dreadnoks. Dreadnoks.
In reference to the GI Joe talk, “GI Joe Resolute” just came on Prime. Written by Warren Ellis and directed by Joaquim Dos Santos. It’s a pretty good update on the property.
Too many ninjas haha
These movies are fun to rewatch after probably not seeing them since the late 80's. I feel like there are a lot of movies that I loved as a kid where years later I was like "Oh boy, this sucks." The fun thing with Cannon films is that I'm sure that I realized as a 12 or 13 year old that these movies were awful - fun, but really lame.
Gabrus - I went to a ninja gym party this weekend for a friends 4 year old. Place was 10,000 sq ft of insurance claims. Amazingly, I didn’t fuck up my shoulder, or my 5 year old.
It is tough out here being a Ninja dad.
There’s an entire Cold Slither album on Spotify and Hasbro have released a brilliant figure set of the band including all the instruments and a stage. 🤘🏻
Use the lamb to catch the tiger
The Farmer is a must-watch, it’s like if Rolling Thunder was more violent and set in post-WWII rural South.
Hell yeah
Ben started by saying "this is why we do the podcast" and I said the same thing when they finally showed the padded room/dojo. Obviously I didn't say "we". But, sense memory just back in time to watching this on UPN57 or whatever, at 3pm on a Sunday. Sut...siyahhh!
Gotta admit: I would totally pay another few bucks for the GI JOE tier, where the Boyz do an episode every month.
Can The Boyz PLEASE slate "Avenging Force" for 2026? I fell into a Tubi rabbit hole after watching "American Ninja 2" a few months ago and discovered that gem. Michael Dudikoff plays Chuck Norris's character from "Invasion USA", complete with a non-existent Louisiana accent. Steve James is in it as well, and there's the most bonkers child death I've ever seen in a movie EVER.
Also John P. Ryan…ABZ royalty
"...the nunchaku hung by the chimney with care; in hopes that Michael Dudikoff soon would be there."
Could we get ninjavember episodes as a collection? Could do the same for Sportstember and Horrorboys.
RIP Udo Kier, an icon
Wild Bill looks like a cross between Lionel Messi and Val Kilmer with a mustache
Stanger was talking about Marine’s playing practical joke on their COs. Back when I was in (I 3/3) we were doing our rifle qual out in Hawaii. The company spends the week there. One of our company’s platoon sergeants (he was not well liked) had somebody take a huge shit on his car. Our first sergeant blew a gasket and smoked us until someone confessed. We were able to peer pressure the guy for awhile to keep his mouth shut, because it was funny & no one liked the guy (platoon Sgt) .Eventually he fessed up. He ended up with an Article 15: 45 days restriction, 45 days extra duty, and forfeiture of pay.
I had the color changing Zartan action figure and sadly discovered if you leave it outside baking in the sun for multiple days it loses that ability.
I'm related to J Michael Girard He's my cousin
Thanks for another wonderful Ninjavember!
Really thought Stanger was going for a weird sleep pun about World War Z for a second.
This movie is beginning to get on my tits!
Does this ninja 🥷 group have HR?

I rewatched 2-4 last week, and didn't remember anything about them. But they're all hilarious and shitty in wildly different ways. I do think they were originally gonna go for more of a buddy cop thing in this, and then abandoned it because Dudi was too bad at the requisite banter. Steve James is the secret MVP of the series, and it sucks that they never trusted him to be the lead in one of these.
I treasure my Bad Movie Fiends t-shirt with Steve James in the design.
