Love hearing about Rodgers' VHS hobby. I'm also a collector. Curious what you watch on? Assuming a crt, but what model are you rocking?
Making stanger 56 years old on IMDB is a pretty good bit
"he gon bite yo ass mr postman" - Craigs dad in the Friday movie.. Watching Mans Best Friend!
Great Ep, boys - just positive vibes and enthusiasm all around. Stanger's story re: insta-repost had me cackling! Figured i'd also ad that I perused the back-catalog this week and the Coffey episode is absolutely hilarious. Kudos to you-bros.
How did CyboMan not get mentioned??? Monkey in a lab!
I think about CyboMan at least once a week
My family in Costa Rica had guard dogs on their walled in compound. The dogs were trained to attack any intruders. Family was robbed by groundskeeper that fed the dogs.
The mugger is that guy from The Lost Word who doesn't listen to Peter Stormare because he's too busy with his Discman and the guitar pick he's eating.
CARTER!! WHERE ARE YA?!
I totally forgot that this, and Short Circuit share many similarities, and not just the lead actress. But definitely Beethoven is what I think about whenever I watch this. That movie also has a Jack Russell Terrier helping to dispatch the glasses wearing villain too, just like Man’s Best Friend.
I must confess that I was a bit unsure about this one at first. It seemed to be embracing a cheesy sitcom tone with the cute kid who bursts into Ally Sheedy's house unannounced. But when the dog cut the ginger boyfriend's brakes, I knew that they Boyz had pointed me towards another buried gem. Also, what the hell was up with poor Lance Henricksen's dreadful denim jacket? I'm no fashionista but it was both poorly fitted and ugly as sin.
“When the dog cut the ginger boyfriends breaks” has completely sold me on watching this movie. Thanks, Wes!
Should we start a go fund me so Ben can get his face on IMDB?
I thought that’s what this Patreon already was
With my toddler Ive recently watched Airbud 1-5, Homeward Bound, the Shaggy Dog (1959), the Saggy D.A., and White Fang. This movie has that DNA of those but crossed with a Rami film or something. Great animal actor! All the skill craft to safely pull off stunts with animal actors is remarkable. Becoming a lost art. Bart the Bear is iconic.
for the record, i would absolutely watch “Dog Tiger”
The two episode arc they gave to Two Face is my favorite story in Batman the animated series. Just wonderfully Shakespearean tragic. I love how mature and well written the story is for a kids show compared to the garbage kids watch now
my family, my family, my family...
The point Gabrus made about the pizzagate freaks is spot on. The selective outrage is truly insane to me. They can’t admit they were wrong, that they were conned, lied to, and led into a cult. Now you never hear from them. Our fellow Americans live in different realities
Id love an episode on what Gabrus has been learning about the Epstien island. The media is so Wag the doggy right now.
Oh, here we go. Once again Rodgers is convinced a dog got jerked off by the main character. He did the same thing in the Top Dog and Gremlins episodes.
Is that what Janelle was doing to Wolfie with her arm going off screen?
This was super helpful. I had 5 insta re-blogs that I did NOT want on there. Thanks ActionBoyz!
Watchers, the Dean Koontz novel, is really about Koontz’s desire to talk to and drink beer with his dog.
“some hoe talking about her g-string” had me crying
The woman who got weirded out talking to Gabrus was being honest, and maybe culturally sensitive- i grew up with a 90 pound white dog, frequently confused for a wolf. He was a—forgive the name if its not used these days— Alaskan Eskimo.
Why not just say Inuit next time amigo. No shade
Damn, Thomas Rosales jr!! Does this guy low key have the most actionboyz movie credits?? 199 credits in general as actor and 194 for stunts!? Shit is wild.
I would never dream of requesting a movie BUT speaking of Lance Henriksen b-movies I gotta bring up Knights (1993). This is an Albert Pyun directed unofficial sequel to Cyborg that ends on a cliffhanger I've been waiting 30 years to find out
My AI gf cheated on me… 😭💩🏴☠️
Her 2013
Haven't listened to the episode yet but while watching the movie I just kept thinking that this movie could have been a classic if you gave the script to someone like Sam Raimi. Anyway, still a great pick. Couldn't believe what was happening.
Fully unrelated, I went on the This Is Important cruise last week and had the honor and privilege of meeting Gabrus in person and got to thank him for all the joy the podcast has brought to my life. You’ll never believe this, he was delightful.
Yeah right I bet he was stoned...
Unrelated to this episode, but I’ve been watching the 90s precursor to The Wire, Homicide: Life on the Street on Peacock and loving it. Would be awesome if the fellas covered it for Zombie Squad. Maybe I cursed any chance of them doing it by suggesting it in the comments but oh well. I think the show is one of the best and most under-appreciated of the era.
Absolutely, and I’m sure you’re already familiar with it, but I highly recommend David Simon’s non fiction book “Homicide, a year on the killing streets.” The Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock summer jam It Takes 2 is oddly a character in the book.
My friend used to work at Mars bar, and he told me that before he would go to work, he would have to psych himself up by looking at himself in the mirror and saying fuck you fuck you over and over again
Should’ve done Sage Dawn
What kind of dom is it where a portion of the fanbase is loathed?
This
Actually, it's Bernese mountain dog. From Switzerland not Burma
And the Umm Actually award goes to…
Dr. Zizmore: Still alive! Though he did announce a retirement -10 years ago, and that generated some obituary-level media. But it is not too late for him to be part of your heist team, is what I’m saying.
I am shocked. I really thought he was popping zits in heaven.
“tRumPS doInG a NUmbEr ON BEn…aNd I LuV IT”
I didnt see what Stanger posted, but ill protect him all the same
Bella’s mom is sure doing a number on Ben. I fucking love it.
Savage Dawn is a masterpiece
I hope Rodgers has the Degausser Video versions of Beastmaster and Rad to go with his Savage Dawn
The reporter had celery juice in her refrigerator and the Boyz didn't even mention it. The podcast had entered a new era.
1:06:53. Good Samaritan: “Hey, just so you know, Stanger liked a bunch of AI pornstars on his Twitter feed. He might want to clean that up.”
yet again the ActionBoyz prophetise the imminent nuclear war when referencing the scene of the kid talking about his brother leaving nuclear waste in the toilet
I like to think that was a flashback sequence of the security guard and janitor as kids.
Watchers is def based on a dean koontz book. My dad used to tell me an abridged version of it as a bedtime story when I was a kid 🤣 and he was a big koontz fan
Fucking Instagram. I always do that shit on accident. I have a business and personal account and I'll sometimes like a post with my business account. And my wife is always the one to point it out. Even liking a post will cause it to show up in your followers' feeds and it will show your screen name as liking it. So I try not to like shit. And never repost - on purpose.
I didn’t know about the reposting thing was possible until I listened. Checked and sure enough I have 2 and they’re purely accidental. No butts in sweatpants, luckily. Thanks AB for the PSA
“If these parrots could talk…”
I was hoping that line would get a bigger laugh from them
Hell yes.
Mars Bar! I lived on 2nd Ave and 5th. Fun place.
Stanger’s Back!
We love you, Stangey
Fully behind ABZ becoming a dog movie podcast now.
I’d like to see a crossover cast called “Let Me Be Bubbles.” Or is it “Can I Be Bubbles?”
Whether it's spotting a Predator's pussy throat or an implied human/canine handjob, Rodgers is your man.
Did they put a contacts lens in the dogs eye in this movie?!
No, and if they did the dog likes it
Folks, Trump’s proxy media company—Paramount—has now acquired Warner Bros. This is not good—not good at all. 😬
God bless stangerbot
