Strangling in movies - my hand was used in a reshoot for a buddy's horror movie for a strangling scene. It's very scary, as you're instructed not to move your fingers at all and the actor does the thrashing. We had a safe word, but it still made me so nervous! She acted her ass off!
Become a stink guy
I feel so seen having Stanger talk about having to create the Missions in California. Mine was Mission San Luis Obispo and my parents didn’t wanna drive all that way to do extra research 😂
Paradecore: Wild Bunch Cape Fear Batman Marathon Man
Knightriders was the first one I thought of
I haven’t watched it since it’s airing, but I remember Beastmaster the series being very trippy. Like Dar becoming The Beastmaster involves him being chopped up, then stitched together using the tongue of Emilie de Ravin. It’s kinda like if John Boorman made Beastmaster
Perhaps already discussed down here but y’all think Rodgers realizes he can make a science project volcano at home? It could even be a great solo or date activity. Jane could even help.
Grandpa, did you ever kill anyone in the war? No, but after…boy howdy
House and Eraserhead also 1977. Just started listening so maybe it comes up but did anyone think when the gangster gets the acid in the eyes, that was where the sunglasses where going to make sense? Like the farmer's gonna dress up like the gangster to carry out the revenge and they'll think it's him cuz they can't tell with the shades on
Omg I was waiting for the Pauly Shore weasel reference for so long 💙
You guys have done The Fugitive, right? Definite St Patrick’s parade in that one.
Good gravy, Gabrus... chill the fuck out
Pretty sure they still run that Tootsie Pop commercial from the 70s.
As a trailer music producer/publisher I get paid by the trailer but even I think there are too many playing before the feature at AMC. I'm with Gabrus. Also, we've won Clio Entertainment awards. Feel seen by this ep.
Wish I could post images here…. picture my mocked-up book cover: I WAS TOO DAZZLED BY THE HOVERBOARD, I HAD A LOT OF SHIT GOING ON The Rhino Stanger Story
They are doing what they do in the sting
I liked the logic that they didn't need to explain it at all since The Sting was such a big movie a few years earlier
Still got the scar on my knuckle from cutting clay with an exacto blade in 5th grade for my Boston Tea Party diorama lol
I’ll start the parade movie talk.. Blowout
I did a Mission assignment for school in California back in 87 or 88. We had an option to do a video option so we went and filmed me talking about the different spots of the mission and then saying "...and here it is". Got an A+ and think I was the only one that did a video option.
Are we allowed to dressed like characters from Gleaming the Cube at the Doughboys show in Irvine?
Only if you’ve ever gleamed the cube
I had a blast with this movie. The first 2 acts I thought were pretty good but once we get to the 3rd act it really kicked into overdrive. When he’s making his own hollow point bullets and coating the buckshot in cyanide I said “now we’ve got ourselves a movie”
I have to say I commented before I got to the part where Ben said the movie kicks into overdrive
Greetings I am Car-L the Manmaster. I drive Lyft.
Saying “yo queiro Taco Bell” to someone who doesn’t know what that is, and is trapped in your vehicle, is very very very funny.
Boyz’s curse went wild this time. RIP former Marvel Comics writer/editor Gerry Conway
That's sad to hear. I'm glad he lived long enough to speak out against all the far right groups claiming the Punisher Skull.
That Stanger Jennifer Lawrence story fucking killed me. Love a Stanger lore drop
Put this one on twice this past wknd. Loved having it on, didn’t follow the plot too much tho. Love u Stanger
The new restoration behind this has a somewhat fascinating story. Bill Olsen, a cantankerous, now-deceased bigot behind Code Red DVD grabbed the rights to it nearly a decade ago and immediately paid for a new transfer. He then held it hostage because a cesspool online community of Blu-ray collectors were bugging him too much to release it. When his health started failing him, he teamed up with a Kennedy trust-funder turned amateur wrestler/professional roid-rager named David DeFalco, whose main claim to fame was having beef with Roger Ebert. DeFalco got Olsen to finally release it, and it breathed new life into a forgotten gem.
Couple of heroes if you ask me.
Anyone else watch the YouTube rip with bad color balance, bad audio, and bad tracking? Felt like an old worn VHS from the early 90s in a good way.
I thought the whole film was just ADR'd. I don't think it's the youtube rip.
Found your Gun Guy in the YouTube comments: @MrCarbine007 2 months ago Interesting that the pistols carried by Johnny and Pissini's men at 31:37 are Polish Radom Vis wz. 35, unlikely to have been available in America at that time.
“We are Farmer! Bum-ba-dum-bum-bum-bum-bum."

So insane to listen to the Trump conversation in this and how we already moved on from AI Jesus to assassination attempt
If someone just jumped into this timeline from a better one, or time travelled, or woke from a decades long coma and heard this podcast, they’d really think all the Trump talk is just “theatre of the mind” lore of this podcast like the cold opens, or Captain Podcast.
I've never heard of this movie. watching it now.
Hell yeah! Jamiroquai reference means it’s gonna be a good day!
The Trump shit really changes so much every week that they cannot predict how things will be even crazier than when the episode was recorded. 😄
SO MUCH has happened and that Jesus post wasn’t even a month ago lol
Great episode. Thank you.
