“It’s kind of cool and it keeps you safe.”
Was Wayne Knight super sweaty in Basic Instinct?

Couldn’t remember if it was mentioned or not but best sweaty performance has to go to Val Kilmer in Tombstone!
I was thinking Kiefer Sutherland belongs in sweaty actor Mt Rushmore conversation
I almost turned off the pod when they started spewing Project Hail Mary spoilers, instead I took my headphones off for a couple minutes and let the pod play. I kept going back to see if the spoiler spewing was over and they were still talking about it, I kept trying to skip past the spewing of spoilers and Rodger’s criticisms that I’m sure happened, but they just kept talking about PHM. Obviously it did something right if it’s living rent free in your boyz heads. I ended up finishing the ep, but I bet there’s an alternate cut where they never stop talking about PHM and don’t get back to movie.
worth it for the "Soundwave is doing our taxes" bit.
I’d like to have the guys compete in an ABZ Soundwave impression pageant.
I was watching old episodes of Entertainment Tonight from 1993 (which would be absolutely perfect for Zombie Squad) and sure enough, there was an interview with Roy Scheider for the upcoming TV show Seaquest DSV. Roy walked the interviewer through the expensive sets and wanted to show off his pseudo nautical knowledge. There was even a shout out to the dolphin Ensign Darwin! On another episode they delved into the NEW hit JCVD movie "Hard Target" where they talked to a psychologist about violence in action movies. It turns out these movies send the wrong message that violence is the answer to conflict. All I could do is nostalgically reminisce how that this used to be an issue.
That is not six months, it would be June and December
Michael Douglas is secretly a sweaty actor. If we can just talk about a single noteworthy sweaty performance I would nominate Viggo in Crimson Tide.
Tom Berenger sweaty
Apologies for the IMDB trivia level comment here but I did find it funny that the music video for the Bon Jovi song 'Always' stars the actor Jack Noseworthy (Breakdown & Barb Wire). A guy the Boyz have multiple times pointed out that it felt like he was really getting pushed down our throats as this new young 'IT' guy in the mid 90's. Also as a child who watched way too much MTV the video for Always was on way too much time and it pissed me off everytime it came on. I did just watch it now though and the fact that it also has Carla Gugino and Keri Russell is crazy.
I just watched Fatal Beauty and couldn't believe the Boyz hadn't covered it already.
I thought this was that shitty movie with Jet Li and DMX, so you can imagine my disappointment when the Boyz started waxing poetic about Gary Oldman. One more careless mishap like this and you may lose a subscriber!!!!!
You need to hear Tarantino pronounce Robert Loggia on Pure Cinema podcast.
homer and eddie
Anyone else think Lena Olin had female Gremlin vibes?
GRAVITRON! Gabrus, you grew up on Long Island right? There was a Gravitron at Adventureland....went several times as a kid, never could look as cool on it as I was trying to. 😆
*introduced me
well he did help produce you, so you weren't wrong.
So I went to see project hail mary with my dad. He's 67 and was really the person who I produced me to movies so his taste and opinions have definitely shaped mine. And I liked PHM quite a bit and halfway thru my dad leans over and says "so is he gonna fuck the rock or what?" Needless to say dad didnt like the movie. Like at all. I was blown away. But because of our shared history on movies I began to question my own thoughts on it. Came to the conclusion I liked it anyway. But dad had some good points...
What did Gabrus get from the Criterion flash sale?!?
An Action Boyz Criterion Closet would be amazing.
My grandfather used to call me Jumping Jack Flash because I was a hyper-active child and my mom would braid my hair in big plaits and I fucking hated it.
For some reason it feels a little weird pitching a black actor for the Sweat Canon but I'll be damned if Yaphet Kotto isn't a real sweaty dude almost all the time.
Honestly great call. Yaphet is such a good actor honestly maybe able to just manifest sweat.
Always love listening to the video store nostalgia, hopefully someday you’ll come up to Portland and do a show with Movie Madness/Hollywood Theatre
Will Patton shines in Remember the Titans..
This movie is batshit. But Olin is amazing. She plays a similar (also fun to watch) psycho in Polanski’s “The Ninth Gate”.
Literally the ONLY boring part of Dick Tracy is the actor playing Dick Tracy - that film rocks, saw it in theaters! Amazing Danny Elfman score (even if it cribs from his Batman one, gorgeous visuals, and a REALLY good cast all having fun including Pacino, Caan, Forsythe, Hoffman, Patinkin.....even Madonna (who has never looked or sounded better) is kind of killing it with a really cliched part. But yes Beatty playing Tracy is dull.
Bruce Willis is always dripping.
Went to Universal Islands of Adventure in like ‘02 and the Hulk coaster was closed bc a guy for real died while waiting in line.
I was an usher at my small town theatre when I was fifteen. The rare times you got to break out the flashlight were the best. Usually you're kicking out the people pissing off the rest of the theatre, and you get a lot of thumbs-up as you usher them out. I once got to kick out a group of older teens who kept swearing loudly during Chicken Little.
I've been laughing at Juliette lewis's accent in this for 30 years 😂
Struggling with this one. I keep feeling like I'm about to nod off every time that "noir jazz" starts playing.
Noir Jazz has become my go-to chill out and work background music. Great ambiance but not distracting: sexy and mysterious but also calm and yes, sleepy. Now I am actively resisting getting dramatic blinds and a frosted glass door.
Surprised how much you guys enjoyed it. I figured you would love Mona’s part of the film, but did not expect the approval of the rest. I might have to give it another shot. I got a kick out of the Bud Bowl discussion because I remember as a kid obsessing over it, and actually getting upset at some of the results. Bud was a major racing team sponsor. Boats, dragsters, NASCAR, etc… it’s so stupid that as a kid I was ride, or die Budweiser, and it extended to the Bud Bowl. Yet I never became a drinker.
This movie got me hard and it ain’t easy
Nick of Time is a pretty sweaty movie
I used to love rollercoasters. Went to Knott’s Berry Farm a few years ago and thought I was going to hurl after every coaster. Idk if this is true, but someone explained to me that the fluid in your brain that keeps equilibrium gets less dense as you age.
Did the boyz engineer the monkey civil war?
AMC the place to commit crimes against the ABZ crew…. And their friends… No peace for you!
My parents used to have a Super Bowl party every year and one of things that was always on the pool was who would win the Bud Bowl.
Gabrus was right about ‘a time to kill’ having a representative in the Sweaty Hall of Fame… but the Sweaty Hall of Famer is Samuel L Jackson.
Charlton Heston is an all timer in the sweaty actor category: Soylent Green, Planet of the Apes, Omega Man.
Does Stanger lose audio like 20 minutes in, there's a weird energy shift and Gabrus seems to be replying to nothing
This happened with last week’s episode, too (this week's sounds good so far). Last week, it was like their audio tracks slowly unsynced and went further out of time with one another towards the end of the episode. Eventually, they were either talking over one another or there was just dead air where someone’s audio track fell out of sync.
That Dick Tracy story was great.
Do The Hot Spot next, now that we're in film noir territory. Thanks
This movie is kind of a love letter to loud chewing
