Gather up the pack, because it is time to etch your question into this post, and the boyz will answer em later in the month
Comments (115)
What movies do you guys have lined up for Dismember December? Die hard 2, long kiss goodnight, Batman returns, behind enemy lines, reindeer games?
QUESTIONS ARE CLOSE MIJO
close to what?! (burned you on that typo)
Given the theme this month, could the Boyz talk about their experiences in martial arts?
Does Stanger have any tips on achieving a Michael Dudikoff "18 year old skateboarder" physique?
Would the Action Boyz ever cover an animated action film? Big ones being Transformers the movie(1986) and GI Joe the movie(1987). Or an anime film like Akira(1988)?
They must be waiting for AniMay
Thoughts on Hunter Killer? The Vulture review of it described it as "Crimson Tide meets Lone Survivor meets Under Siege meets a Russian variation on Olympus Has Fallen." I went straight to the theater after reading that & I really enjoyed it!
Were there any scenes from movies that fucked you guys up when you were kids?
All of you have obviously been performers for a long time now. Does anyone get nerves before an acting gig, improv show, etc?
Gabrus, have you ever entertained the idea of streaming on Twitch when you play video games?
Since this is the November Shadow Wolves, what are your favorite Thanksgiving side dishes?
I can see Stanger sweating already.
What would it be like if Jon's dad had his own action film?
It’s it just any three word name Seagal movie
I just wanted to say Hi.
Assuming JCVD’s characters exist in the same Tarantino-esque universe, who would win: Leon Gaultier vs. Frank Dux?
Have the boyz seen Bodyguard on Netflix? It's a great political thriller from the UK with some very intense action scenes, I'd highly recommend it if you haven't.
Which major action star will die first?
How many years is Garris away from looking like Segal in this picture ?
Which actor is the best at punching?
I can't think of a question, I'm still waiting for your BaitBus, GAYbrus.
Timecop with Kurt Russell should be a thing. Also, you guys should do Timecop.
Can a terminator get a boner, or do they have a dick just to be anatomically correct?
These are the kind of important questions that only the boyz are qualified to answer.
Are you guys pissed that Clements came on your show, made you explain how Patreon works and now The Flagrant Ones exists?
Hey guys for February would you do romantic action movies? I’ll leave it to the talent to come up with a clever name for it. Possible movie ideas, true romance, mr and mrs Smith, this means war, true lies, entrapment, knight and day, the specialist, the getaway. You can thank Gabrus and the latest ep of high and mighty for this post.
just tell us a crazy story, it's the best part of the show, after Stanger Bot
Thoughts on Overlord, starring Kurt Russell's son? Still a week from release right now but should be out by the time this ep drops.
oh shit I didn't even know he had a son let alone he was in that movie
I know Jon is a Giants fan and Rodgers is a Bills guy, and according to some Stanger played football at Cal. I was just wondering if any of you guys have slowly started falling out of love with football in general? You guys joke about the concussion stuff and how Stanger's body is destroyed, but also would Ryan let Stone play football? I've slowly been losing passion towards it but I'll admit, I work on weekends for Fox Sports on NCAA and NFL stuff so I guess I'm just as big a hypocrite.
Have you guys seen the new Predator yet?
i think 2/3 of them did, they just talked about it like an episode or 2 ago
Who is everyone's Number One Smokeshow from the movies you've done?
number one smoke SHOW
This may have been discussed on the show but I don't remember - who did the theme songs? Both themes absolutely nailed the tone of the show.
The best theme song, "Who Would You Be", is by Ryan Stanger
Do you guys have any ideas for action movies that you’d like to see get made?
How did you guys get into entertainment? Is there a moment you remember where you decided to commit to making it a career? Will Firefox kill the podcast?
Any chance we could get an Action Boyz holiday special episode a la the 1,000 patron party?
Who is on your personal Mount Rushmore of action heroes? If I had to guess, Schwarzenegger, Stallone and Seagal are the popular picks for the Boyz, and the last pick would be hard to choose.
If action films were off the table for the podcast, what genre would each of you try to pitch to the others? It could be your next favorite film category, or possibly a genre you think would be a deep enough well to riff on.
<a href="https://youtu.be/ErtFJSoT2Rc" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/ErtFJSoT2Rc</a> Just had to share this gem as well.
Favorite moment from either Nitro era WCW or Attitude era RAW?
Yes! Now we're talkin'
What movie, or even specific scene, made you realize that the big action stars (Seagal, Van Damme, Arnold, etc) had lost whatever it is they had that made them so good? ... Seagal in Exit Wounds doing a very strained wire assisted handstand double kick, for example
You could probably fill a few entire podcasts with this, but could you guys talk about improv comedy and your start and experiences in the scene? Maybe some tips for someone looking to get into it? Thanks!
Question for the media diet section: Have any of you guys seen the Indonesian actioner ‘The night comes for us’ yet?(streaming on Netflix for those interested) If so, I would love to hear your thoughts/get a mini review. Thanks Boyz!
How often do you find yourselves defending your love of action movies in casual conversation? I feel like this comes up a lot from “legitimate film” fans.
I once had to explain The Thing to a friend’s sister-in-law and then had to go on to explain what the term sci-fi meant soooo yeah it was rough
What's your favorite vehicle from any action movie?
Prototype jet fighter with neuralink
Did Rodgers and Gabrus even invite Stanger to the John Carpenter concert? I feel bad for Stanger.
I think his family and personal training sessions take up his non-ABZ/UCB time
I have some questions for Stanger. As a HS football player, what was college recruitment like? How many offers did you have? Did you take any official visits? Did you see/hear about any stuff like boosters bribing kids to go to a certain school?
Stanger played football? I guess he doesn't like to talk about it.
What songs are on the boyz’ beast mode workout playlist?
If the three of you were given money to make an action movie what type of action movie would you guys want to make? Let’s say a budget of $40 million
Has anyone else watched Den of Thieves more than 4 times?
Are there any ideas for a third Stanger creation? Has Stanger tried any out that we’re so bad they were deepsixed immediately? Loving the Bot and the Gorgon (sorry for the chaos they bring to Val Verde.)
Strangerbot is sci-fi, stanger gorgon is fantasy. So maybe more of an otherworldly character like Supreme Leader Stank. Or maybe just the tales from the crypt guy
If Steven Seagal ran for POTUS would you guys have the willpower to vote against him?
Do any of the ActionBoyz watch action movies with their significant others ?? And if so what are the experiences
How is it telling other people that you're a host of the ActionBoyz podcast? Could see being a bit funny to explain, especially when you know its actually successful.
I was going to ask this too. Rodgers has talk about being embarrassed mentioning the pod, but now it is kind of a thing.
Rodgers beat Death by Roo Roo at Cagematch in 2008 doing a solo improv set. Did you do solo improv practices to prep? Did you do any other solo improv shows? The set sounds wild and I'd love to hear about it, also, if any of the other ABz have done solo improv, or any Cagematch stories in general.
What do you think makes for a good villain death? What are some of your favorite movie deaths? #TeamGorgon
Dolph Lundgren at the end of Universal Soldier. Awesome Action Boyz movie. I hope the do it even thought it falls in the dead-zone of after classic and before “modren”.
Is there a movie that ticks all your ActionBoyz boxes, but you just don't like it? Why?
My intention for this question is clarity. Do you guys think MC Hammer still has beef with Michael Jackson? I mean, dude’s been dead for a while now.
What movie you used to dislike as a kid that you appreciate now? Not necessarily action.
What are some of the boyz favorite/most memorable movie going experiences?
It seems as if movies like Hunter Killer and London Has Fallen are decent attempts at reliving the 80s/90s action genre. Is Gerard Butler the only star pushing these types of throwback movies set in a modern context? Everyone else wants hyper realistic, but I feel that he gets the irony of the movies he’s making.
I know Halloween's over but do you guys have any more horror stories from working on bad projects? How do you navigate it when it's people you know and it's going off the rails? (You don't have to get into specifics/names/etc)
What's your favorite soundtrack to an action movie?
Is there a way for the shadow wolves to see Jon Vs. College? I ask selfishly because I went to Texas A&M.
How would you describe what Stangerbot looks like?
Who has the best buffalo wings in Los Angeles.? What criteria makes for the perfect buffalo wing?
What are Rodgers's thoughts on CGI in modren movies?
You really need to ask this?
Which 80s/90s action Superstar would you LEAST want to punch you in the face
If the Action Boyz continues to grow, would you push for anything beyond just a podcast? An abridged version for Netflix where maybe it's promoted alongside Action Movies they're carrying.
What do you think the chances are that you have already seen your favorite movie? The one that you'll say on your deathbed was the best. I am being really optimistic and imagining a normal human lifespan for you all.
Has your girlfriend ever left you at a party because you were drunk and you didn’t notice she left?
I have left a party because I was drunk and didn’t notice I had a girlfriend.
Have the boyz seen the movie trailer "Bigger"? At first, they make you think it's a movie about young beefcake Arnold, but it's really about the Weider brothers.
What's the biggest lie the boyz have tried to sell in order to get into a gals pants?
Or vice versa
Is there a time period or place that you think has been neglected by the action genre? Also, as a veteran, please honor me and Roger's brother by answering this question.@rustedshakles
As a fellow veteran I’ll give this a like.
Any chance the Boyz will do a live show in San Francisco for Sketchfest this coming January? I know there's a moratorium on commentary episodes, but it would be pretty cool to see you guys talk over a movie at the Castro Theatre. If Doug Benson can sell the place out for 50 Shades Freed, surely you guys can pack the house for Another 48 Hours or Sneakers.
You had me at another 48 but lost me at sneakers. That’s barely a dad-action movie. More of a grandpa flick
What are the Boyz' favorite animals?
What is your relationship to comics/graphic novels? Was it something you got into as a kid or discovered later? Do you have any recommendations of either current or classic books?
Which of the shitty action movie remakes/reboots do you guys think is the most egregious?
Is RoboCop worth seeing?
What is everyone's dayjobs
How does Stanger own a house?
Nutritionally speaking, what is the oddest or strangest diet/cleanse you have done to reach a goal. What was the biggest failure and what was surprisingly successful?
Rodgers and Stanger go into this on Dumbbells
Which one of you wins in a fight? Gabrus has size, Stanger has speed (4.6 40 time) but my money is on Rodgers, who sounds like he has a lot of deep-seated rage issues.
I think it was 4.53 Accutrack
What do you guys think needs to happen in the next Terminator movie?
Don't make it. Let the franchise die, like our dreams had.
Which of the big four—Arnold, Stallone, JCVD, Seagal—has the best instagram? I’m guessing by the number of likes I see from Action Boys it’s Stallone, he’s just great w the paintings and Frank and more.
Very important question: playboy, penthouse or hustler? Or if you’re not into mags what were some of your favorite porn dvds growing up. I had Edward Penishands and I can’t believe it’s Nut Butter.
Isn’t Club International the offical porno mag of the show?
Which action star would you want to kill your real dad and become your new dad?
Powers Boothe
I know both Gabrus and Rodgers are fantasyheads. Any opinion on the Witcher? Books, video games, the upcoming Netflix series with Henry Cavill as Geralt?
Worst shit your pants story.
I ate minimum 15 lbs at Peter Lugers (Long Island), topped it off with a giant ice cream Sunday. Settled my stomach with 10 bud lights on the LIRR. Lasted 30 mins in an East Village bar when I ran outside and unleashed hell in front of someone's brownstone
What’s going on in Rodgers love life. You guys hint that it’s tumultuous but (without removing all his privacy) itd be cool to know more.
Who would have the most impossible ego to deal with if one of you achieved superstardom?
Gorgon for sure
