QUESTIONS ARE CLOSED BRAH
What movie from your childhood has been your most disappointing adult rewatch? Sorry if that's been covered...
This is a great question. I don't remember if it's been covered but you may want to re-ask for next month's Shadow Wolvez
What non-english language action movies are your favourites? Also, where's that baitbus, Gabrus?
Currently watching police story and holy shit tango and cash stole the whole scene of Jackie Chan pulling out his revolver and shooting at the bus.
Near death experiences
Once or twice on the podcast Rodgers has mentioned having "a million stories" about his shaky hands. As a huge fan of stories about disabilities, I'd love to hear one.
Have the Action Boyz every been hunting or fishing?
Did you guys ever collect action figures as a kid, and if so, which ones? Do you ever see any toys or figures today and have the urge to buy it for nostalgia reasons?:)
Have you listened to the Behind the Bastard, two part episode on Steven Seagal?
I’m listening now, and MY GOD! what an asshole!!! Thank you for the recommendation!:)
What's the last movie you've walked out on?
I’m your dad?
Even though it's right up my alley and checks all of my boxes, Robocop somehow missed me for the first 27 years of my life and I didn't watch it until you guys talked about it on the pod. Can you name some movies it took you guys a long time to see/you still haven't seen that would surprise people? Also, what movies did you most lie about seeing when people asked if you saw them before you actually did?
Stanger seems to mention over-active Art Departments a fair amount, which I probably only notice because I'm a Set Designer. What are the most egregiously over-designed environments you guys can think of, and on the flip side what movies are hugely helped by their production design?
What's the worst place you've been drunk at? I had a 2 hour layover last night and had 4 beers on an empty stomach like a fucking moron.
Would you ever consider a themed month like "Sexuary" or "Sextober" where you just do steamy or sex-themed movies? i.e., Showgirls, Color of Night, Eyes Wide Shut, etc. I think it could be pretty funny, and these movies have TONS of "action". (BTW I know I'm going to get roasted so hard for asking this).
Fucktember
What character in an Action Boyz movie do you think has a look you could pull off? Or maybe a better question is what character's look do you wish you could rock?
I will baitbus all of you creeps
Sean Connery didn't request those washers!
Stanger never finished the handjob story about Andre Carter and the recruit
Fingers Crossed they don’t ignore this.
Oh cool. Hey never mind, actionboyz. Some guys that don’t know you answered the question for you.
Can you please do more runs on your thoughts on Comedy Bang Bang guests / characters in general?! I love that show but I’d pay $10 a month to listen to it, and then y’all talking shit about it. AKA the “Hollywood Handbook: Pro Version” model.
Shit, just bb8 alone
What’s your preferences on wardrobes set in the future. Does a wardrobe like those in Robocop take you out of the futuristic fantasy when they don’t even try and just dress like the year it was made or is it worse when they play the future style cliches of metallic dusters and mirrored razor Oakley’s?
Who are some of the people famous for being “funny” that you guys either don’t like or don’t think are funny? Ben really seems to dislike Ben Schwartz.
Uh, poking fun at someone a little bit doesn't mean you dislike em... ie Rodgers and Stangerbot. You know he actually loves him
After seeing the trailer for Tombstone, I think it's pretty undeniable that trailers have gotten way better now. Can Rodgers explain how they're actually worse because they're made on computers?
You're listening to the wrong podcast, esé. You couldn't be more wrong.
What is the best music cue in an action score? For example, “Roll Tide” from Hans Zimmer’s Crimson Tide score. Or for a more modren movie, “Alone” from Harry Gregson-Williams’s Score for The Equalizer.
yall like David Lynch shit?
Any favorite movie theater arcade game memories? Did you have a favorite action movie tie in game i.e. the Terminator ll tie in game.
What movie special effect blew you away when you were kids? Also, consider doing the Golden Child?
I saw Red Dawn in elementary school and it scared the shit out of me. I would spend my days at school looking out the window for paratroopers. Did any of the movies you review affect you like that growing up?
Same thing happened to us in ‘86. We actually made war plans on whose house to go to when we started seeing parachutes.
Cramming myself into a cube everyday has finally broken my spirit and I’m now looking forward to the sweet release of death. Advice?
What was your favorite moviei of 2018? Mine was Annihilation (granted I haven't seen many of them). Have you guys seen this one? Any thoughts?
Stanger and Rodgers - you sound kind of similar and sometimes it's hard to tell who is speaking. Could one of you please change your voice? I think the Talkboy has this technology. Thanks!
You're fucking high.
For Stanger/Rodgers - what is a good entry point to Stephen King, go in order of chronological release or do you have personal favorites?
Would y'all ever return to the movies you covered on High and Mighty? I love those early episodes, but I think I would like Rodger's notes PLUS the encyclopedic knowledge Stanger and Gabrus have for, say, Hard to Kill or Bloodsport.
which action movie character or actor would you want to be your dad
Why do you think most comedies these days seem pretty bad, assuming you accept my premise?
You guys should just do all the Bond movies. It would be the ultimate podcast cuckold of James Bonding.
Any 2019 movies that you dudes are especially stoked for?
Did you guys ever go through a phase where you stole things?
You guys mention comics from time to time. What are you reading? What are some favorites?
read saga?
Did you guys see a porno called True Anal with Anya Olsen at one point she wears gape gloves, I hope they were yours and you guys didn’t get ripped off.
Do you guys like it when we suggest movies? Is that how you get off now?
Which branch of military (marine, army, navy, air force) do you guys think has the overall best movies?
What is your all's favorite video game?
Will Stanger ever snap from all the abuse you guys give him?
Would either of you ever jack off in a movie theater like Fred Willard did?
Any other Eddie Murphy movies coming down the road? Not sure if it fits the pod, but Harlem Nights is a great one. Richard Pryor and Eddie own a nightclub in Harlem in the 30's.
This one is for Rodgers - Did you know that when Vietnam neutralised the Khmer Rouge in 1979, the Khmer Rouge still existed for another 14 years after this, and was allegedly partially funded by the USA government in secret till 1989? This is because the Cold War was going on and an enemy of Vietnam (communists) was considered an ally of the US. The Khmer Rouge officially disbanded in 1993. The Chinese also supported the Khmer Rouge until then because China had partially split from the Soviets in 1956 during the Sino-Soviet split and because the Chinese were existing friends with generals in the Khmer Rouge. This interesting part of history is also the back storyline of NRNS II, which is one of the many reasons it is my favourite film of all time (and I believe the only film that deals with this part of history - the pro portrayal of the Khmer Rouge, which few people know about)
This is the longest Yes/No question I've read in a while. Also, are you pro KR? I can't tell.
Any thoughts on the films of Andy Sedaris? Would the ABZ ever cover one?
Yes, please! Hard Ticket to Hawaii!!!!!!
I don't think I've ever heard the boyz reference Streets of Fire. Love to hear your thoughts on this gem. Not an action movie but with stellar performances by Paxton, Dafoe and Moranis I'd love to hear your take. Go ahead, skin that smoke wagon!
hell yeah
Have y’all seen Tom Breihan’s history of action movies column on A.V. Club? He considers Bullitt the first action movie. Do you agree or do you have another choice?
Such a great series. He also did one called the Netflix action movie canon for deadspin before it got univision’d
What were the Boyz' favorite videogames growing up, and did they cause any memorable arguments between brothers/friends?
Would you guys ever do Wild Wild West? It has so much in common with ABz favorites - a super charismatic action hero lead, extremely problematic comedy, an antagonist with virtually incomprehensible motivation and plan, no stakes, and a top tier smokeshow
This movie is begging for Action Boyz treatment. Wild Wild West, MIB, Bad Boys 1 and 2, I think we're gearing up for a great Smithbruary
Die Hard 2 has one of my favourite types of action set pieces: a snowmobile chase. Are there any types of action set pieces like this that you’re always excited to see?
What’s the most prestigious movie that you guys feel would qualify for action boyz?
Any chance you'll let us knuckleheads, us ironbutts, us . . . ASSHOLES vote on some potential future films? Perhaps one of the modern movies?
Were Stanger and Rodgers also bullies in high school or just Gabrus?
also could a mod please change my name to filmfanfan? Thanks in advance.
You guys have referenced your dislike of the marvel movies more that a few times. What kind of comic book movie would you like to see, or how would you have done existing properties differently?
My brother in law (he’s 25) loves super hero movies and has seen every marvel and dc film in the genre. Couldn’t stop talking about them at Christmas. He loves aqua man. Do you guys have any equally stunted idiot friends/relatives that eat cgi porn up ?
If you break down your media diet on average which medium do you spend the most time consuming?
Gabrus, if The Blade Itself was made into a movie, who would you want to play the Bloody Nine? Is there a particular director you think would do the best job? Any other fantasy novels the Action Boyz think would transition well to the silver screen?
When cleaning up vomit in the cafeteria would you recommend saw dust or soap and warm water?
Have you guys ever gotten lost while hiking or somewhere similar where you've lost your bearing?
Any particularly memorable road trips growing up? What would you do in the car to amuse yourselves?
My dad (I'm your dad) would set up a mattress in a van for us, it was horrifically unsafe but kept us quiet which was worth it.
Could older Spaghetti Westerns like Once Upon a Time in the West potentially be on the podcast?
Gabrus mentioned buying the Magnum PI shirt during the boyz episode of Raised by TV: are there any other articles of clothing you guyz have purchased based on a movie?
If you could program a 1-2 punch of action flicks for the Beverly which movies would each of you pick?
Favorite Simpsons movie reference, action or otherwise? You can do Family Guy instead if Stanger wants to
What movie that's been covered would Peter North slot into the best?
Also what slut has been covered by Peter north the best?
Is there a better Seagal fight scene than the one in Out for Justice? He 100% hits the dude on the pool table in his nards with full force. <a href="https://youtu.be/vsurHnZiNy0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/vsurHnZiNy0</a>
Favorite third act in an action film?
Are you Boyz into any of the reality action TV shows happening? Are you watching The Rock's Titan Games? Will you be watching the upcoming Seth Rogen-produced American Gladiators revival?
I want that show to be good, but they'll never recreate the magic of American Gladiators unless they let all the gladiators take anabolic steroids, and do nothing to admonish them for clotheslining contestants unconscious, or tackling them so hard they get a concussion.
Out of all villains(movie, tv, comic, whatever), who would you guys like to be a henchman for? And who'd be the fucking worst?
Hank Scorpio. “I can’t talk now, I’m in the middle of a fun run!”
Would you ever consider doing another bonus episode where you do commentary over an already covered movie? You wouldn't be burning a good movie like you did with Point Break, you would satisfy us psycho's who enjoy the commentaries and as it's a bonus episode, Film Fan can't complain that it's not a normal one. Also, as it's a bonus episode, there's no commitment to regular commentaries.
Any chance for a commentary on old High and Mighty Action Boyz episodes? e.g. Big Trouble in Little China
Can you do True Lies as a birthday present to me? I won't let anyone else listen to the episode.
It's infuriating to me that True Lies is somehow not available for any type of streaming.
Hiya Rodgers, any updates on your pseudo-gardner neighbor girl that fell for you?
My question is I'm your dad
What is your favorite Made-for-TV movie memories. It seems in the 70s through early 90s the Big Three Networks had Movies on Sunday. I still remember watching “Taken of Pelum 123, Don’t Look Now, and Steven King’s It.
What are your dads' favorite action movies?
How do you guys feel about PED usage in non athletic situations, mainly acting? The argument for why it shouldn't be allowed in wrestling is because even though it's not considered athletic competition, it is cosmetic competition. Is it fair for classic and modren movie stars to be able to use PEDs to get that Hollywood action star look?
What are some of the Horror Boyz' favorite horror flicks?
Favorite local video store memories?
Do you have a happiest film going experience?
Alright Action Boyz, I'm seeking advice. I'm going to be proposing to my Action Girl. We both been talking about taking a trip to New York City ( she's been I haven't) and I know she loves battery park and thought about proposing there. Do you guys (probably gabrus) have any knowledge of battery park and and maybe ideal spots there to pop the question? Any other good spots in NYC that aren't too clichéd (like top of the empire state building isn't happening). My other thought was doing a driving vacation along the pacific coast highway, any good spots there you guys might have seen? And what would be a great action movie one liner to followup her accepting/rejecting the proposal be?
“ I’m your dad”
Would / have any of you ever plan a vacation just to visit shooting location from one of your favourite films? Have Arthur Gabrus and Rodgers dog ever dated? Still wondering if Rodgers' hates Colin Farrell? I reckon they should have a bar fight.
What were your favorite cartoons/action figures when you were kids?
If you guys were wrestlers, what would your entrance music and gimmicks be?
one of them would be funny, one would be really cool, the other would be a rhino
Which action movie has your favorite vision of the future?
did you know that the guns in The Raid were all airsoft guns and all the action/cycling/ejection was done with CGI!!?!???!?!!?
I love it when you guys talk about how stupid your moms are. My question: when did you feel most embarrassed by a family member? xo
There’s an alternate universe where Stanger runs a 4.46 Accutrack, get signed by the Bills and has a 3+ year career as a backup FB/Special Teamer. How big of a fan is Alt. Rodger’s father of him? Does he constantly mention how he’s “scrappy” and “he plays the game the right way”?
Sorry if you feel left out, Jon. You’ll always be our Golden Bear.
What action movie subject just totally turns you off? For example, I avoid anything centered around 9/11, the wars, bush years, etc. I don't wanna relive that...
Favorite movie of 1987?
I know this is a controversial topic but what action videogames were your favorites growing up? Double dragons, Ninja Gaiden, Turtles in Time are a few that come to mind. Are there any modern action games you may like?
Today's episode, specifically Michael Beihn, reminded me of Far Cry Blood Dragon. It is pretty much the game you guys would make. It includes cyborgs, dragons that shoot lasers from their eyes, a close up bicep focus handshake and a synth 80's soundtrack. <a href="https://youtu.be/0dofacvjRkc" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/0dofacvjRkc</a>
Have any of you guys ever had any recurring dreams/nightmares?
What are some action movies your parents would NOT let you see when you were young? Sounds like Stanger had pretty much free reign. I tried and failed to trick my dad into taking me to see starship troopers.
ha I think I was about 9+/- when Starship Troopers came out on video and I watched it on pay per view with my mom. My parents never really stopped me from watching things but when the boobs came on screen she was like "uhh... you should probably cover your eyes?" and I'm not sure but it may be the first nudity I ever saw on tv. That Blur album was the first cd I ever bought with my own money because Song 2 was so cool in the trailer. Anyway, Starship Troopers, classic action movie from Paul Verhoeven, ... 5 stars.
What are your thoughts on the Cyberpunk trend and movies like the new Blade Runner and Upgrade?
What action sequels do you think were actually better than the original films?
And why is it the predator?
What are some of your dad’s favorite movies? Obviously all of these movies would be an option but what were their absolute favorites? My dad loves open range, tin cup, the mountain men, quest for fire and gangster squad
(im ur dad)
Yo what are the action boyz shoe sizes? But for real can we kill off gorgon?
If you don't like gorgon you don't like the 2nd best part of this podcast
Do you think non-CGI heavy action movies will ever make a comeback? I mean big budget blockbusters, not martial arts movies. It seems like everyone was so high on the last Mad Max and its use of practical effects, but I haven't seen that influence other movies like I expected.
What practical effects? The lizard?
What's your favorite movie sword fight?
What are Stanger's mom's favorite running bits/episodes/stories? Gorgon and Bot don't count
What's the gnarliest fight you have ever been in?
favorite movie of 2018?
And why is it the predator?
