Has anyone seen “Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner”? Highly recommend.
Ben's Christmas lights feelings can be validated by this guy - who is one of my favorite youtubers going today. I find his videos kinda hypnotizing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oy7BrKNmZAQ anyway, this one is about how xmas lights have changed, why they are bad now, and where to get "good" ones. Sans nostalgia.
Here's a link to a streaming retro TV - 50's through 2000's and you can have it only play the commercials from each individual year of that decade if you want --> https://80s.myretrotvs.com/
I remember buying this movie as a bootleg back in Mexico and loving it lmao. I don’t think we cared about the Mel Gibson controversies either; homie made passion of the Christ and got a pass from all the Catholics back home.
Watched 5 eps of The Chair Company after you and Redlettermedia both recommended it, and holy shit I’m so on board. Some of the funniest TV I’ve ever seen. The podcast in the car is how I imagine an extended Gwildor or sauna bit would sound to someone overhearing me listening to ABZ.
Just watched episode 5. I was NOT expecting that Scrooge scene lol
Another good source for commercials from the 80s on YouTube is from broadcasts of NBA games from the era. You get a good mix of national and regional commercials depending on the original broadcast (plus the game, of course). It's an interesting time capsule if'n you're into that sort of thing.
Lava lamp tech is not sorted, I broke 3 in 16 months. They have some that go on tea lights but the woman at the toy store didn’t understand why I wanted to see if it had a metal coil inside
Hey Action Boyz...you mentioned liking watching 80s commercials...go on YouTube and search Friday night videos hall of fame 1983....I'm a Shadow wolf...bit after you guys talked about doing Silverhawks and Tigers harks cartoons...I may need to upgrade to Zombie Squad...well played action boyz...well played...keep up the good work
Rodgers feeling anxious around Christmas checks out since he seems like the most likely to crack and go on a Silent Night Deadly Night style rampage.
The spree will begin in a movie theater
No subtitles and 2 grams of psilocybin would have made for an epic experience.
Might've listened to too much of this show, when Rodgers started talking about his Christmas decorations I thought, 'I wonder if he still has that goose lamp from China Syndrome'. Glad to hear it's a centerpiece.
I remember seeing this in theaters with my dad and brother. My poor brother had to use the restroom and entirely missed the jaguar attack scene. Would love to see more indigenous themed films like this, I always found it more interesting than European history and dramas
Marion Stokes recorded 35 years of tv (1977-2012) on vhs. Thousands of hours. They’re still archiving her footage. Legend
Odd take on Pluribus. I also find it frustrating and sometimes boring, but I assume they planned for a second season and are just slow burning it.
Gilligan is very good at wrapping up shows, almost to a fault. Breaking Bad was almost too perfectly tidy, like he clearly didn’t want to deal with the bitching that followed Sopranos and Lost. If this was almost any other creator I’d have given up already, but I’m sticking with this for now.
Has anyone read Moon of the Crusted Snow? Really good scary book about winter closing in on a remote community in Canada.
High school teacher here. I’ve had a few freshman who still believed in Santa. Bless their little hearts
10,000 BC is the worst movie I've seen in a movie theater. It's awful. And the kids in the seats ahead of me who were loving it made me hate it even more.
When this movie got released on DVD, a guy from the Yucatan I worked with was all pumped, telling me, "This weekend, I'm grabbing a case of beer, gonna put on Apocalypo, and cry. I love that movie."
Haven’t watched Apocalypto yet, not familiar with the specifics of the controversy, but I did visit Belize this past spring including a trip to the ATM Cave, in which Mayan human sacrificing is said to have occurred. Probably the coolest thing I’ve ever done. Closest I’ll ever get to feeling like Indiana Jones. (Also took a day trip into Guatemala to visit the ruins at Tikal, aka the rebel base on Yavin IV)
The cold open's Dr Pepper commercials fucking rule
Gabrus, a spear-thrower is called an "atlatl."
how is he supposed to know that it's not in the core D&D rulebook
Anyone seen Hundreds of Beavers (2022)? Amazing!
way too hyped up for me unfortunately
"The Naked Prey" is another site of the "Run and one of you may live" scene type.
My favorite thing about this movie is the one frame of Crazy Mel in the trailer. Wild hair, beard, smoking a heater between two actors in costume for one brief moment.
Betamax King channel on YouTube plays forgotten commercials and clips.
I would 100% go to an ABZ NYE show that ends at 9 so us freaks are let loose with 3 hours before midnight
Definitely interested in an ABZ NYE show
