Metro (1997)

Hey Action Boyz. This was probably my favorite episode you ever put on wax. Anyone who is hating are some MAGA ish weirdos. Let the haters come…because they ain’t cumming 😂

Dam the gloss over of the 97 scandal is a lil funny. I figured u guys wouldn't even bring it up but once u did I was surprised until I heard how fast the rip cord got pulled lol. Yeah this would be tough to talk about in today's climate so I don't blame ya

At least part of the reason they pulled One Battle After Another from theaters early was to claim losses for tax avoidance.

Saw this in theaters with my dad- we had read in the paper that it was “louder than The Rock” and indeed it was- the speakers were absolutely peaking thru the end

Shout out to Stanger for the Grounded for Life shout out. Fn show was awesome.

I know it's not the place to ask, but I was wondering if they would ever do "Kelly's Heroes"?

The guys not knowing about the movie Life w/Eddie & Martin is a bummer 😂 it’s one of Eddie’s greatest movies

Just watched deadlock/wedlock on tubi. Holy fuckin shit! Gotta do it at some point. A treasure trove of crazy

As someone who is half Armenian, I ate a shit ton of bulgur (cracked wheat) when I was growing up. It’s a staple of Armenian cuisine. That being said, I’ve never ever heard it referred to as “cracked bulgur.”

1:46:42 Stanger: "It was my dead grandpa's..." Gabrus: "Hell yeah."

His name was Joe Chap

Never saw, but the line "what do I look like Red Fox" from the trailer has stuck with me my whole life. I think cause as a kid I had to do a little work to connect the dots to Sanford and Son, a show I was vaguely familiar with. Action sounds dope though I'll give it watch sometime.

You guys were talking about which actors haven't done ads and Robert Pattinson has actually done perfume ads. However I also feel like Perfume ads don't quite count as selling out. They're most of the time so artsy and abstract and in some ways just an extension of their Hollywood persona.

I was curious what the actual French title was and it’s so lame, it’s San Francisco Cop (Le Flic de San Francisco). Beverly Hills Cop is Le Flic de Beverly Hills

Wincott was in Alien Resurrection later this same year, and it is an absolute crime that he is pretty much the first one to die.

LIFE was fangoddamntastic

Wincott in The 3 Musketeers made me wonder if it would be possible to pull off a thin mustache, and an eyepatch as an everyday fashion statement for a man, and get the right kind of looks from people. I still think it’s possible.

Anybody ever see a neo-noir from the 90's called "Romeo is Bleeding"? It stars Gary Oldman but Wincott has a supporting role and it was shocking to see him with shorter hair. For me, my frame of reference for him wasn't just the crow, but in a non-villainous role as the record producer in Oliver Stone's the Doors.

Thanks for the warnings guys. I’ll skip watching this movie lol

Say what you want about the quality of "Life," but that was one of those movies that was ALWAYS on tv after school. Probably a box office disaster, but Eddie and Martin standing barefoot on the case of open bottles is burned into my brain.

Korda killed a detective, who knows how many people at the jewelry store, hijacked a trolley, shot multiple people, probably killed his hostage in the car crash, and who knows what else. This dude would not be on laundry duty or any work detail in prison

By the time someone told me how much they loved One Battle in the theaters, it was gone within the week. Not sure if I was too out of the loop but I was planning on going the weekend after I heard about it and I was too late. So yeah, I’m sure it lost money because no one could fucking see it.

He's creepy in that and tim curry plays cardinal richlieu

My first wincott experience was the Charlie sheen 3 musketeers. Which would be a fun review

RIP Robert Duvall!

Steve porcaro went uncredited to do percussion on fugitive and then just straight up stole the fugitive soundtrack adjusted a few bars and made this score.

I’m a Randy of the Redwoods guy

Metro is entering super early Quicktime movie trailer territory for me.

I’m looking forward to the next Action Boyz movie. “Deathstalker” is the horniest movie the Action Boyz has covered—and they’ve done “Basic Instinct”!

One Bugonia After Another should have been marketed more aggressively.

humph. Metro too young.

This movie came out right before Eddie got pulled over. The very next year he did Mulan and Doctor Dolittle. The next year after that? Holy Man, Life, and Bowfinger. What a crazy Rollercoaster Movie career! Any other actor would be toast after a year like Eddie Murphy's 1997.

Wow This movie was BAD

Before I watched this movie I couldn’t believe I’d never heard of it. I get it now.

Agree that Wincott in Nope is such great casting. Another fun small role for him where he gets to be a different type is in Talk Radio as the airhead heavy metal kid Barry invites to come in and be a guest.

Cut to Gabrus at his next family event, telling his sister-in-law about snipers who can read lips.

Norbit is funny. C'mon..

Must be Stinkrurary this month

I shouldn’t be surprised because I’ve listened to this podcast for so long, but you guys got into a debate about Academy Award winners, and nominees during an episode discussing the Eddie Murphy movie Metro.

Before I listens I just gotta say 1) Is the scene where Troy is revealed to be a dog supposed to be funny? Total whiff of so. But then I didn’t wanna rewind to the first scene, when Ronnie says “he needs a man in his life” to see if they drop hints. 2) The Rappaport role woulda gone to Chris O’Donnell 2 years earlier. In other words, why hire Rappaport for it at all!? 3) Bad guy’s plan to kill cop LEAVING HIS APARTMENT, makes no sense. Let him leave and then hide anywhere else… like a sneaky jewel thief. 4) Anyone else get sad when they realized the trolley crash/chase wasn’t the end of this movie!?! Ok, hitting play on the pod now.

Feels like a psychic attack on the listeners to do a Michael Rappaport film
