Gabrus predicts the Paul brothers at the White House in this episode.
Say what you will about how Walken held the gun during the movie but his footwork was fantastic
Mini Master Paedo appearance at 1:25:08
That Sculpture Billie Lawless lives in Cleveland now and a few years ago got introduced to him. Really awesome guy with tons of stories!
They are retiring the Stinger! https://newatlas.com/military/stinger-missile-replacement/
Much should be said about the maroon limo
I absolutely love the scene in which the doctor has to save some kid and NO ONE brought a fucking first aid kit to a goddamn war zone. That didnt cross anyone’s mind? That someone might get hurt and need some basic first aid? Stylish shirts just take up too much space in the plane?
Trump is sure doing a number on Ben. I fucking love it
Explain
I 100% agree with Rodgers on the current climate in this country making it extremely hard to watch movies like this. For me it’s not only films like these, but it’s making it harder for me to watch a variety of movies from different genres because of how much this country has failed us in trying to uphold any fucking social progress. Especially with how extreme this administration is breaking down any little morsel of it that we ever had, even if most of it was symbolic. I still want preservationist to keep preserving these films, though. Because I still believe in keeping this shit alive in some capacity.
Just saw Gabrus in a wayfair commercial lol
The song at the beginning is a cover of Dire Straits but hilariously the video is re-cut to Platoon: https://youtu.be/2NpGzcna3xk?si=y2hx5TCSkHZ_diQ5 Here’s the original: https://open.spotify.com/track/26tWBbtjvgi0tipRL2VQ2X?si=VIQUyQX9Toq8GBAX14DWWQ
Smashing Machine is such a weird mess. It's well shot and has a fun soundtrack, but really fails to capture anything that made the John Hyams documentary good. Also, they straight up lie about events for no reason. I'd be interested to hear Stanger's thoughts on it.
The wallet bit is excellent. Fuckin’ nephew pics….my son’s name is Muhammad.
Tech companies are actually good…”Just go fuckin’ walk into the ocean” -Ben Rodgers
I can't wait to hear the action boys riffing on the new Epstein file dump in 3 months
You think it’s really cool that Mormons are in the CIA?
Rodgers nailed it with the Marty Supreme criticism
Gabrus using the phrase “iced them” in reference to killing somebody and nobody bumping on it really reinforced that they recorded this a while ago. Great episode.
Et tu, Stangus!! Hope you change your tune and go Seahawks vs Pats! 🦅🌊
I’m at 1:45:14 on the release day (02/02) at 8:11pm est and I gotta admit: I don’t know who’s in the Super Bowl either. I know they’re recoding in the past, I’m in the present and y’all are in the future but I have no clue. Anyone other non-sporto janitorial experts, sound off.
The specifics are what makes this comment epic 🫠
I'm familiar with this movie from RiffTrax. I loved Bobby McBain's Israeli (?) accent in that one scene. It's a really dumb movie but really fun at the same time. Also, shooting the fighter pilot with a hand gun from another plane is one of my all time favorite scenes. The guy driving the speedboat is the director James Glickenhaus.
Walken's "accent" truly threw me for a loop when I heard it and made me laugh. I think we're supposed to infer from context clues what the accent is supposed to be; but Man Oh Man, what was going through their minds when he started talking like that?
dr peter attia on the epstein list. said pussy was “low carb.”
Also, pretty wild timing with bringing up hoping that the Safdies work together again with the info that came out recently about why they split.
Glickenhaus made the truly insane The Protector with Jackie Chan in 85, an experience Chan found so miserable he gave up on the US market and made Police Story to show he could make an awesome modern cop movie.
When I was way too young I turned on HBO late at night and saw the most jarring, inexplicable full frontal nude scene of Asian female scientists (???) … it would haunt me for decades as I tried to figure out what movie it was from until a few years ago I finally discovered The Protector
How you guys like this new term for killing someone they say "slimed"? Pretty cool!
I was happy to google Maria Conchita Alonzo and find she's alive and well.... otherwise I'd be Maria Conchita Alonzo Mourning right now!!
for years, whenever I would pick up a People magazine at a doctor's office or a grocery store, they would constantly feature her in the worst dressed list. Almost like it was a running gag.
I feel like Paul Dano just did the eye surgery. He was doing some QA for a Little Miss Sunshine anniversary show
Boyz, Glickenhaus’ The Soldier is a stone cold classic. Will not disappoint.
Supposedly this is the reason why the Safdie bros split up from each other https://pagesix.com/2026/01/26/hollywood/the-teenage-sex-scene-that-sparked-safdie-brothers-infamous-rift/
I swear a more detailed version of this story came out when The Curse was released.
Im not much of a gambler though I love playing poker. Im a Patriots fan but I know it's a bit of a longshot. Seahawks are looking good.
I hope they see and discuss The Testament of Ann Lee. Awesome movie.
Great episode.
"Everyone"s fucking stupid." Well said, Ben.
Listening to this episode is wild. Yeah, the WORST thing to happen this year is gonna be invading Venezuela. Oh to be as innocent as we were a month ago
Im working through the backlog, and episodes from early 2020s can be tough listens for same reason. The guys were somehow very aware of how bad shit was and yet had no idea just how much worse it was going to get.
Going as Frank Bruce this Halloween. Need to grow out my hair to make pony tail work.
Rodgers just dropped “I love my nephew and stuff” and I can’t stop laughing.
You know it’s bad when people don’t flinch when they say “I hope he dies”.
Real MVP is Steve James Wrestle Mania hat seen the in the plane
That's right up there with his Shalom Y'all t-shirt in American Ninja 2
Holy shit just realized he made Frankenhooker. USA up all night classic!
That movie taught the world the consequences of smoking SuperCrack
This movie is my kind of junk food. I never saw it before and enjoyed the hell out of it.
This was exactly what I needed today.
This would make such a fun double feature with Dogs of War, and I'm glad you made me watch both. 🙂
The Action Boyz have covered the Philippines so much that they should consider doing a remote show there. A live show in Manila? Does anyone know how many movies they’ve covered that were filmed in the Philippines?
a show in Manila would really push the evelope
