Gabrus name dropping Boyka & One Shot. Fucking elite ball knowledge. For what it's worth, I really love Deathstalker 2. Lots of fun. Great episode lads. Fuck ICE.
Between Rodger’s fantasy voices and the Boyz going in on ICE, this was one of my favorite episodes in recent memory!
As I watched the movie (first time), I was wondering what lowlife listener recommended this crime of a movie. Turns out Gabrus and Rodgers had both seen it many times, enjoyed it, as did many others, and there’s sequels, and a reboot. What the fuck.
Deathstalkers 2 was one of my favorite eps of mst3k i think it was warriors from hell.
Newbie here, been making my way through the eps, good times. But I have a request for any old janitors in here. Where can I find the video of JCVD in a Walgreens or CVS? The guys talk about this video alot, but I’m struggling to find it. Any help would be appreciated
the one where he goes 'for mama...'? not sure but I think they did it in a shadow wolves opening video so maybe it's linked here
Ms Stalker if you’re nasty
Minneapolis here—if Gabrus or anyone at ABZ want to show their public support for us and the resistance against ICE, bring back Stangerbot even for just an episode. It would mean a lot.
if they don't it means they fully support ICE
I guess now is as good a time as any to spread the word on a YT channel called the Bad Movie Bible. I cannot recommend this channel enough as the host is an English bad movie connoisseur whose wit and dry humor is as great as it gets. He seems to be the world's leading expert on ripoffs and mockbusters, who also has videos on all the ripoffs of specific movies like Terminator, Robocop, and a fantastic series of videos on all the copycat ripoffs of Die Hard. (Those videos alone could be Action Boyz fodder for years). But for our purposes now, here's a link to his excellent video on the Barbarian genre as a whole. So for everybody recommending other Barbarian movies like Ator, Deathstalker sequels etc. he's got you covered. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkG5hs5yMh8
I’m always amazed by all the Bollywood ripoffs of things that look like they were shot in 1962 that were actually made in 1998.
troglodytes are a good word for generic cave monsters.
deathstalker immediately read to me as a big influence on ben stiller...couldn't unsee it

This is of great concern to Dallas residents worried about police disruption of organized rows of folding chairs.
James Dickey (author of Deliverance) wrote a great poem about the tragic consequences of fucking sheep https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/42713/the-sheep-child
Since he mentioned it on this episode, I’d like stangers opinion on the best engagement ring options non gold and non rectangular stone setting. Thanks in advance
Please consider an episode of the movie - Ator: The Fighting Eagle. At least to talk about the loving Brother and Sister relationship.
you won't regret watching this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkG5hs5yMh8
The trick is, you got to make sure they are sheep and not rams before you get em
Action Boyz listeners love to stay inside (sex) Doughboys listeners love to stay inside (staying indoors and eating fast food) Blank Check listeners pullout
ActionBoyz, Doughboys, and Blank Check listeners: that is a Venn diagram with 99.9% overlapping circles. Or maybe: a small sliver of that pie, but the people at the party I’d actually want to talk to.
US/Argentina co-production... filmed in 82/83 in Buenos Aires? This was probably the reason the junta collapsed
Val Verde A&M shouldn’t have shut down their History Department.
On the subject of short movies and lots of tits, I noticed that a lot of great mid-aughts Skinemax flicks popped up on Tubi, but upon closer inspection, they’re all only like 42 minutes long because they cut out nearly ALL the sex and nudity. So, yeah, good news if you just wanted all the dialogue scenes from Witches of Breastwick 2, I guess. On a more positive note, those same movies have all popped up uncut on another free Tubi-like service called FAwesome. Good times…
After hearing the Boyz towards the beginning of the episode note the number of sexual assaults (rivaling Death Wish movies), I kept count while watching the Tubi version. Ballpark estimate is 16, leading to an SA (Sexual Assault) average of one every 8.75 minutes. Since I have a life, I have not re-watched the Death Wish movise to see where they stand, but I've got to think less than that.
Val Verde Tech should never have shut down their Math department.
Speaking of farm animals, a recent story here in Australia was of some animal activists who installed hidden cameras at a pig farm after reports of animal abuse. They ended up filming a different sort of animal abuse, as the farmer’s son clearly couldn’t get a date. The animal activists handed the footage over to the police… but no charges were made as the evidence was illegally obtained.
Truly a love letter to Long Butt. Thank you for your service Action Boyz

Hey, Action Boyz, have you read Stephen King’s latest book: “Never Flinch”?
Rodgers’ story about the neighbor made me wonder- Was there even a cat? Or just a guy who wanted kids to find his dirty basement books? That they were on a shelf feels like maybe the latter?
This is you projecting your weird fantasies on here.
clocks in at #4 for shortest runtime (according to the fan site): Project Grizzly 72 Showdown in Little Tokyo 79 Death Race 2000 80 Death Stalker 80 The Monster Squad 82
I remember seeing the premiere of Showdown in Little Tokyo on HBO Thursday Night Prime in the summer of ‘92, and noticing it was still light outside when the credits hit, which shouldn’t be allowed to happen.
The 2 ai ads I get are either upload a pic of your dead grandma and they turn it into a video of you crying and hugging her - and the other is you upload a pic of your crush and it makes it look like she's grapefruiting. Pray you don't accidentally get those 2 apps/pics confused.
Just wanted to tell you I love you, bloodflart
Wow. I haven't listened to the podcast yet, but this movie is confounding. I keep thinking I've missed something, but I'm pretty sure I haven't. Power of the sword, amulets, something something.
found it on Hoopla. search for 'DeathStalker'. no space.
This hour and fifteen was better than any single ep of Game of Thrones. Also gabrus we fuck sheep anywhere but they only cum when they’re fucked on cliffside
Also I'm done with opening IMDM and going down rabbit holes before finishing the movie. I was in awe of Lana Clarkson had to check out her career, and man what a bummer. How is Phil Spector still on credits in recent movies?
Phil Spector was famously insane for his entire career. He'd hold guns to womens' heads to get them to sing better. It's just that... he was so damned good! If i can't listen to be my baby anymore, I'd have to pull an "ICE agent in early 2029" and blow my brains out.
I was watching this thinking Miamoto must have seen this before creating Zelda for NES. Special sword, the 3 points of power. Not a 1:1 story wise but some similarities. Also this episode comes out on Zelda's 40th anniversary so that's kinda fitting.
Who knew string tangas were so popular in fantasy medieval times
Unrelated to the movie I’m hoping we can get the full story on Shadow Wolves about you guys deciding not to do the Workaholics cruise. It felt like getting Rodgers and Stanger on a boat was a long shot when it was announced.
“We found the guy who invented the pull out method in the Middle Ages…” Our Catholic hosts are clearly not familiar with the story of Onan in Genesis 38:8-10… from whence comes the term “onanism,” originally to describe coitus interruptus, but later also used for masturbation. In grad school my professor quipped that he was going to rename his parrot “Onan” because every morning he spills his seed on the ground. I was the only one who laughed.
By that logic my name should be Onan the Barbarian. ;-)
Congrats on your gold medal hockey win, US people. I hope you were actually able to enjoy it for a few minutes before they all started crushing beers with Kash Patel.
Fuckin embarrassing! 🗑️ 🦶

We Need To Talk About How Gabrus Pronounces Bolognese
New Death Stalker is fun! It's directed by Steven Kostanski, everyone's favorite "practical gore is alive in 2026" guy. 🙂
Genuinely great fun movie that knows exactly what it is
I watched this movie on a plane. Do not recommend.
I hate to be this guy...but on deployment back in 2007, our squad witnessed a dude fuck a sheep one lonely Iraq night. It was kind of like the Paris Hilton sex tape in that we saw via night vision. Anyway, I wouldn't exactly call the sheep a willing participant, but it didn't really seem to need much coercion, either. In fairness I'm not a connoisseur.
In eighth grade I once had another student turn to me and ask point blank, "I heard a sheep's pussy is most like a woman's. Is that true? ". I guess he didn't know at the time that somewhere out there is someone who can confirm that definitively.
I agree movies are too long and fuck ICE
Coming in hot with the episode right from the start.
I would never put pressure on someone I listen to on a podcast to say they hate ICE. That being said, hearing Gabrus and Co. tell ICE agents to shoot themselves in the head made me smile from ear to ear.
They never talk at length about the Christmas Adventure Club. Their silence has been noticed.
Of the three Deathstalker movies that I've seen, this one is the weakest. Although it still is entertaining Roger Corman schlock. Deathstalker 2 has an amusing self-satirizing tone that manages to avoid smugness. It anticipated the comedy sword and sorcery tone of Sam Raimi's Hercules and Xena TV shows. It also features an all time title drop. https://youtu.be/j9Av_hQyx6I?is=3xRjPJDE8k6_4K6G And there was an entertaining remake that quietly came out last year. It had far more elaborate fight choreography, enjoyably retro practical sfx and some hardcore gore. It also had zero nudity. It's an interesting example of how exploitation movies have considerably changed since Corman's heyday.
This is a bad take but I kinda think new MOTU movie looks promising… Hate Jared Leto playing Skeletor but at least we don’t see his stoopid face
Finally Ben finds the one vhs I broke… 🖖🏽👆🏽👇🏽
Phuck ICE
Deathstalker: a love-letter to cucks
I see Carlos/ Anthony at least once a week. We park in the same garage.
The VHS cover for this movie is buried into my brain!
Stanger being into the Playboy cartoons seems mighty on-brand
Something Something Terri Schiavo + doctor's penis
One of my friends 100% bought a C.U.M. Equipment t-shirt in Key West.
Trolls are gigantic in the original folklore and fairytales. I don't know why they became humanoid sized or smaller in modern fantasy. - 0/3 people found this interesting
Cream pie is my favorite power of creation. Sword is close second
Attempted rape is a character in this movie
That PSA for ICE agents could only be better if it came from a member G.I. Joe.
And knowing is half the battle!
The team that did the Death Stalker reboot was behind Psycho Goreman which was a lot of fun. Lovingly made i'm sure.
I definitely will check it out in that case. I fucking loved Pyscho Goreman and his hunky Boyz!
Zero academy award nominations! 😡
The remake is a fkn practical effects banger. It's wildly good: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33996087/?ref_=ext_shr
Far superior to the original well made and a great director
So many boobs… so many butts…
Came for the boobs, stayed for the butts
