June Shadow Wolf Qs

can we get a ranking of the current action movie franchises?

Would you like The Equalizer series to go the way of Death Wish and what do you think that would look like?

Effin Gruven has re-opened as Effin Beauty. Your thoughts?

Somewhat tangential to 80s movies, what are your thoughts (and prayers) about the rise of Synthwave music. Bands like The Midnight, FM-84, Gunship that somehow capture the nostalgia of the 80s

Favorite 80's lady sex symbol...or action movie female that really got to you as horny boyz?....mine...probably Kim Bassinger.

Does Don Coscarelli explain in his book why the tiger was painted black in Beastmaster?

Are the ABz gonna get Stallone pens and watches?

What is the sports movie that would most qualify for an Action Boyz movie?

But are they really closed?

Do y'all like swimming?

QUESTIONS ARE CLOSED MIJO

More Stone please.

Thoughts on Quentin Tarantino involvement on the new Star Trek script? Supposed to be rated R

Don't forget the poison ivy update

Hey doggs, I was surprised to see an unfilmed script for Alien 3 by William Gibson as a free pick for Audible members this month as an audio-play starring Lance Henriksen and Michael Biehn. I'm curious as to if any of you guys have heard this audio-play version and if so, how do you feel it stacks up to the actual movies?

If you could enter one of the movies you’ve covered and interact with it Grand Theft Auto-style, which movie universe would you want to play around in?

Has stone heard gabrus' videogame/movie theory? Maybe he's got some insight to add?

If an angel investor approached you guys and wanted to fund a $100 million dollar action movie written/produced by The Action Boyz, who would you hire to direct/star, and how much of that money would you use/pocket? Stipulation being that you’re choices have to be currently alive, even just barely.

I’ve recently obtained my Doctorate in Movie Runtime. My hot take: Why are today’s theatrically released movies so damn long? There’s no reason Captain America: Civil War needed to have a 132 minute runtime.

Carnival in Rio with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Its basically a documentary narrated by Arnold where he has a woman suck a carrot, awkwardly dances with samba dancers, and talks about "Brazil's favorite body part, the ass". https://youtu.be/pdIjJ8efftk

I just watched a documentary on Pete Burns (the singer for Dead or Alive). At one point, he was arrested for attacking someone at a club. He was so broke, that he couldn't make bail. The only option was an obsessed fan (he had never met) who put up the bail $, but law stated that Pete had to stay in this person's home until the trial. If you were jailed & had no other option but to live with an obsessed Action Boyz fan, would you do it? Would you opt for prison?

Have you guys watched HBO's Chernobyl? What would you say to a KGB series spin-off starring Alan Williams and maybe a return of Barry Keoghan as a KGB agent?

Did you guys have a favorite horror host on your local tv channel growing up? I was a big fan of Svengoolie on MeTV in Chicago. By the way love The Halloween episode.

How Italian is Stanger?

Would the Actionboyz be up for some sort of physical competition amongst yourselves simliar to the Sober October Challenge on Joe Rogan’s show?

Have the ABs seen Bigger about Joe and Ben Weider? And would you ever make a genre exception for Pumping Iron?

Can Stanger please say brutal and sing a segment song, for old time's sake?

Now that summer is underway, do you have any interesting water-sports stories? Also, how would you rank: beach, pool, and lake?

You guys always trash Frank Stallone for the Instagram comments on his brothers account (deservingly so) but so you guys see AgentnickNYC on there too? He might be a million times worse.

TO: Gabrus RE: Diarrhea Have you tried fiber supplements? I gave them a shot after Drew Magary sang their praises in a Deadspin article like a decade ago. Three teaspoons of Target's store brand version of Metamucil in a pint of water every morning...I could eat a stick of butter without issue.

Assuming all of the historical stories about Dennis Hopper are true, do you feel anyone else got remotely close to the level of unhinged / unstable?

Someone asked earlier about pre-action movie movies, which made me think of The Great Escape, which is 8 years earlier than Dirty Harry. Do you think The Great Escape could be considered one of the first action movies? It is focused on Steve McQueen, whose fucking name is Virgil Hilts, aka "The Cooler King" which should shoot to the top of any action movie name list VIRGIL HILTS

@stanger, is quinoa a grain?

You guys are forced to go on a vacation, just the 3 of you, where do you go?

Nicholas Cage, thoughts on his recent movies? He has been in some low budget movies and I feel like it doesn't do him justice. Like, he is so great at being manic and over the top, but when that is shown in movies that aren't high caliber, it makes him out to be over extending his his characters to the max. Like, 2016's U.S.S Indianapolis: Men of Honor, had bad cgi and an actual minature navy base. And then in netflix "between worlds" is on there and it just feels like a lifetime movie but cheaper. Maybe you saw these or not. But just thoughts on his career as of now?

Which is yalls favorite ActionBoyz movie franchise? I’m a sucker for the Rocky franchise but lethal weapon was my favorite growing up.

I was re-watching Edge of Tomorrow the other night (great movie that would make a good Modrin March pick) and what really stood out to me was how many fun late-in-life Bill Paxton performances we missed out on due to his unfortunate passing at 61. He was really good as Master Sergeant Farrell screaming at Tom Cruise in a Kentucky accent. Are there any actors that the ABZs can think of who passed too early who would've been mega stars or any established actors who would've had interesting second runs in supporting roles had they lived longer? Also, is Edge of Tomorrow the worst title for an other wise solid movie?

My girlfriend is watching this Netflix show called "Younger" and low & behold, Gabrus shows up in a scene where he is playing a 26 year old who just destroyed a toilet with his diarrhea. What is the youngest you Boyz think you could pull off in a role and what "of course" character trait (ie - Gabrus's legendary diarrhea) would you be cast as having?

what that butt do

Wrongfully Accused is now available to rent on Amazon. That is all.

In the spirit of Spike TV's Deadliest Warrior, what are some Action Hero Vs Hero battles you'd like to have seen?

Hey boys, what’s your most memorable concert experience?

I am an actor living in NYC. I have received two residual checks for $0.00 from Sag-AFTRA. Have you received $0 checks? Love what you guys do. I have listened to every episode at least twice at this point.

You guys talk about being avid theater-goers often, but I'm curious about specifics. How many times a week do you guys tend to go to the movies? Do you prefer to go by yourself or with your SO / friends? Preferred time of day / of the week? Do you tend to only see movies you like / that get good reviews, or will you go see *anything* if you're bored? Gabrus, what's your pre-game plan in terms of weed? Love the pod, thanks!

Who are some guys around 30-40 years of age you could see having a Keanu (or creaky Liam Neeson)-type second spring in action movies when they're older?

I adore Michael Mann but I think his Miami Vice movie absolutely blows. What do you think?

Wanted to revisit this topic in light of Chernobyl. Did the intensely limey actors and their British accents throw you off at all? Would bad Russian accents have been preferable?

Have you seen the new Apollo 11 documentary? It was very well done. I'm sure Stanger can remember the launch but for me it was pretty cool seeing all that found footage. Like that oj simpson bronco chase 30 for 30

Can we get some new merch? An ABZ logo IPF certified belt would be awesome

What do you think the Nazis expected to happen when they opened the Ark? And if it was remade now, is there any doubt the Ark would be taken to Hitler in Berlin and it would blow up all the Nazis?

Question for Stanger, how many seconds passed before you responded to the "Can I play with your dick?" note slid into your public bathroom stall? Did you consider it for even a moment?

Deion Sanders or Bo Jackson?

Whats the title of CIA book Rodgers mentioned reading on the Raiders episode?

Do you guys think you could rob a bank?

Sidekicks loomed large in my childhood only because my parents had HBO/Showtime/Encore and it seemed to be on every week for years and I was an indoor kid :).. Are there any movies you boyz remember from childhood that you ended up watching a million times on TV that you didn't have on home video or ever saw in the theater??

Recommend a podcast please! I need something new to whittle away the hours.

Strength Shoes for calf development - I’m guessing Stanger actually used them, Gabrus wished he had a pair, and Rodgers found them ridiculous.

If I were Superman I’d want to go fuck with big animals like bison, lions, crocodiles, and shit. What would you guys do?

I just watched a few episodes of Doomsday Preppers on Netflix and hollllly shit, what a ride. What's y'all's take on disaster prepping? Is there anything more "Action Boyz" than spending all your money on an underground bunker and forcing your family to run disaster preparedness drills in the middle of the night?

Is there a threshold for how bad the acting is in an action movie before it ruins the experience for you guys? The new Godzilla sequel is getting hammered because of how bad the talking parts were, and I feel like that is widely missing the point of Godzilla movies.

Do you guys have a go-to "worst movie you've ever seen in the theater"? Mine is that Godzilla with Matthew Broderick.

I just saw Maria on Netflix - basically a female John Wick film - and loved it. If there were to be more female-led action films who out of today’s actresses would you cast as the leads? For instance, who would have the comedic talent and everywoman appeal to Joan McClane? Who is Mary-Anne Cobretti? I don’t mean remakes or reboots but instead new films with characters in the style of the classic action characters.

What do you guys think of The Rock posting those gigantic cheat meals on instagram. As someone who has never paid attention to what I eat they absolutely baffle. Mainly for stanger as they're probably normal meals for Gabrus.

Are there any books you guys have read that you would like to see turned into a movie?

Thoughts on Scott Adkins?

Have any of the boyz read Tom Scioli's 'Transformers Vs G.I. Joe' graphic novel?

top five rappers?

Who is the king/queen of music videos? For me its Busta Rhymes, that dude basically lived in a fishbowl for like 10 years producing some really fun videos.

Favorite megalomaniac/screaming mad man director?

Have you ever had stage fright and how did you deal with it?

Rhino's change from football to improv is drastic & unique in many aspects. Could we hear some details of how that experience was?

What do you think your favorite action stars would be doing in life if they never made it big?

Could we ever get some action boys about some lighter movies these guys did? Like jingle all the way or twins.

If you were offered a starring role in a major tv show, but you had to live in a house with 4 shadow wolves for the duration of the show, would you do it?

Are late era Seagal/Travolta/Reynolds movies fun bad or just painfully bad.

Do you think you can turn off the ability to connect future plot points and just suspend disbelief/analysis? For example, in John Wick 3, Winston turning on John makes so much sense from a narrative and character sense, but if you let yourself get caught in the movie which is from Baba Yaga's POV, you could have let yourself be swept up into thinking he actually has a friend. Also talk about JW3:P. It's pretty amazing how much fight choreography has come since Raiders.

You say the action faction needs to take a second pass at most of our questions, how would you, occasional professional writers, approach this?

Would you rather be stuntmen in hundreds of movies or one hit wonder lead actors in a successful blockbuster?

What food makes you think of home? Or rather what food do you think of when you think of home?

In the Raiders episode you were talking about fan backlash to Game of Thrones. What have been your own biggest letdowns in television finales?

Did you read Joe Hill's NOS4A2? If not, I highly recommend it. Thoughts on the AMC show?

Have any of you watched the Steven Seagal vampire movie, Against the Dark? His first, and only, horror work. Any other horror flicks featuring action starz worth mentioning? Maggie, End of Dayz, Eye See You, The Thing ...

Yeah I got nothing

B=======D~~~

When are the Boyz doing another Bronson movie?

Endgame thoughts?

Stanger- Much is said and joked about your diet. What exactly is an average day in meals for you? Any general advice and realistic recommendations for healthy dieting for average Joes and Joans?

What were the ActionBoyz's first cars?

What movies have you seen the most ONLY because of heavy rotation on HBO or cable, before the days of DVR? I was curious after reading the bullshit responses to a tweet that got 20,000 replies on Twitter last week. The question was: "What are the five movies you've seen the most in your life?" The guy answered his own question, including Taxi Driver, Apocalypse Now, and Rashomon. Those movies might be better, but I've seen Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead more than those movies combined. That shit was on four times a day from 1991-1993.

For Gabrus: I’m planning a long bike trip this summer from Brooklyn to Montauk (camping over night etc); any local spots I should check out along the way? Anywhere I should avoid since I’m traveling alone and shit?

Can stanger say this sentence outloud without messing up? "Susie's sister sewed socks for soldiers"

Oh hi boyz. Haven’t heard you talk much music. Any of you guys into Good Goes Away? Real deep stuff check it out if you haven’t

Rodgers talked about liking FilmStruck. Now that it's gone, Criterion has replaced it with its own streaming channel. Have any of you tried it out yet?

Question for stanger. New dad to a boy here, been great so far aside from the expected lack of sleep. Any tips or philosophies about raising a 'woke' boy while still enjoying stuff like 80's action movies which (while awesome) often have objectively terrible messages.

What "bad" or underrated classic action flicks would the boyz want to remake? Ones that were almost onto something good or could have benefitted from modren special effects?

Shotguns or sniper rifles?

Are there any animated movies you would consider for the podcast?

Do any of you guys have the new Criterion Channel streaming service? If yes any recommendations for a newbie? I've watched Blood Simple and The American Friend so far and they blew me away!

Who was the best action movie president?

....what piece of action movie memorabilia would you want to own?

If you could raid an infinite storage locker full of leftover Planet Hollywood junk

Mexican pizza . . . or Italian tacos?. Corragio.

Book talk: I loved the Friedkin bio, thanks for that. Any other recommendations in that vein? One I would recommend is Roger Ebert's Book of Film, an anthology of his best essays and interviews. Including a really funny interview with a drunk Lee Marvin.

Have any of you taken Robert McKee's "Story" seminar? I took it fifteen years ago, and he was as entertaining and bizarre as you might expect.

Any generally liked comedy/comedians ruined for you by knowing and disliking someone involved?

Does it bug you that other podcasts (eg Flagrant Ones) charge the same but are keeping eps to a tight hour and you are just wrapping up Stangerbot at that point?

Any time you remember going overboard with and regretting a really mean or inappropriate joke on someone not in the comedy game?

What was the first YouTube video you all remember seeing?

Did Stanger ever read Ghost Story? If so, what did he think?

Are there any unexpected benefits to working in the entertainment industry? Not something like getting to hang out with celebrities or setting your own schedule while writing or recording podcasts, but some perks y'all wouldn't have thought about before you started working?

Thoughts on the Deadwood movie!

Does the stangerbot/gorgon voice hurt to do? I feel like it would mess me up quickly but I’m not a professional.

Two Qs (One Cup): A) Have you guys seen SPARTAN, the crazy David Mamet action movie that was TAKEN before TAKEN with Val Kilmer and a foul-mouthed Clark Gregg? B) You're going on vacation and you need someone to watch your place/animals, someone to fill in for you at work, and someone to come party with you. Which action movie characters do you choose and why?

Thoughts on the new Batman actor

Hello Boyz, As an archaeologist I was super pumped you guys finally did Raiders, watching the Indiana Jones series as a kid played a huge part in my career choice. What are some action star jobs you guys aspired to growing up? (Other than FBI Biologist)

There's a lot of justifiable hate for modern CGI heavy films on the action boyz, but is there a CGI heavy film the boyz do like?

When you first started the podcast, did you guys anticipate having an entire cavalcade of characters and bits that would keep coming back hundreds of episodes later? And do you have a current favorite?

Were you introduced to any classic film antecedents to the action genre growing up(Westerns, War, action heavy Crime films) that particularly stuck with you? For instance, my family would watch "The Guns of Navarone" when ever we saw it on.

Not a question but a million dollar Patreon idea: a minute-by-minute podcast like Star Wars Minute but for Kuffs

What do you think of the action movies coming out of China featuring Western actors? I watched "China Salesman" on Netflix recently (feat. Mike Tyson and Steven Seagal) and all the overt Chinese nationalism in it kind of freaked me out. It's probably the same as Red Dawn and shit but American nationalism is obviously much less jarring to me. Anyway, is this the future of movies?

What movies won't Stanger let Stone watch that might surprise us?

What’s the gnarliest bad guy death scene?

Favorite straight to video action movie?

Two part question. What is your favorite lift? Also that dude that mentioned the landscaping shirt was awesome, would also like a Valverde gym shirt. What would a good tagline be?

Who is the best “kid sidekick”?

You guys have a cutoff for movies that would be too recent to cover on the show. Is there also a cutoff on the other end, as in a movie being just too old to watch for the show?

For Stanger: Sistine, Sophia, and Scarlet or Ida Lundgren?

A lot has been said about fights the Boyz have been in- but what is the worst ass beating the Boyz have ever witnessed?

When I was little I used to recreate the Terminator 2 LA river scene by riding on my bike and using a snorkel as a shotgun to blow open "gates". Did they boyz have any specific scenes or movies they would recreate as little action boyz?

Do you guys have movies that were childhood favorites that have been completely lost to time? The James Garner movie Tank recently popped in my head. I loved it as a kid and I don't think anyone has thought one second about it in the last 25 years.

If you could wake up tomorrow having gained one quality or ability, what would it be?

Who would in in a fight between the 3 of you?

Can we get a Valverde Landscaping Crew shirt?

For the upcoming live show, will there be any fun Shadow Wolf only stuff?

Where is the cutoff date for a movie to be considered a "classic" vs "mo-derne"? '95? '98?

Ben mentioned the book “The Pentagon’s Brain” in older episode, picked it up recently and really into it. Do the Action Boyz have any weird history or conspiracy theories they’re into, aside from Pizza Gate or the Franklin Credit Union Scandal? We’re through the looking glass people!

You guys occasionally talk scores/soundtracks/composers, any all time favorites? Best/worst action movie scores?

Stanger, it’s been mentioned a few times that you have a bit of a limp. What was the injury and how did you get it? Also, how do you compensate for it in your workouts, like deadlifting and squats?

Question for Rodgers, any more Hollywood Masterclasses on the horizon?

What role (either a real person or fictional character) would give each of you your best shot at winning an Academy Award for Best Actor / Supporting Actor? Would also love to hear your personal dream roles and your ideas of prestige roles for each other.

Hard or soft pretzels?

What are your opinions on Denis Villeneuve's films? Any hype for Dune?

Gabrus - Rangers or Islanders?

If you could see Seagal chomp into any other gigantic foods, what would you pick?

How surprised were the Boyz by the recent Jon Voight video love letter to Trump?

Gabrus how does it feel to try these silly bits only to get "well actuallyed" by your co-hosts?

Hey boyz, what is the most disturbing horror flick each of you have seen? Also wondering if any of you are aware of the recent release of Backdraft 2.

Has using the sauna regularly changes the consistency of your loads?

Hi Action Boyz. Typically people say that “the book was better than the movie.” However, I don’t believe that’s necessarily true. Do you have any examples of movies that were better than the book they were based off of? Also, go Wantagh Warriors!

What video game would you make into a movie?

We all know that Gabrus plays video games, but do Rodg or Stanger? Does Stanger play games with Stone?

What did you guys think of the new Rambo trailer?

Who is your favorite superhero? Mines Spider-Man
