Shadow Wolves- July Qs

PS I’m still down to play with stanger’s dick if he changes his mind

If any of us SWs ever meet one of you three, would it be appropriate to just make a quick reference (e.g. “I’m your dad”) and then walk away. Or would you prefer just a “thanks for making the show”?

Probably this will be too specific, but I’m wondering if there’s any media that you three find more satisfying when distilled through the perspective of the people you think are most entertaining. For example: I’ll probably never watch 5 Elements Ninjas but I loved listening to the ABZ episode about it; the commentary is WAY more interesting than the original content.

Y'all are a handsome bunch. If you were to join the world of male escorts who would make the most money and why.

How about a Legacyquel month next summer... CREED II, RAMBO: LAST BLOOD, TERMINATOR: DARK FATE and TOP GUN: MAVERICK.

Are the ABz aware that Jeffrey Epstein's lawyers employed the "Delta Force Defense" to explain away his fake passports? https://twitter.com/BobbyAllyn/status/1151876091281379328 This way, Robert Forster will never find him out.

Hey, it just dropped but would love to hear your comments on the new Top Gun trailer.

will the actionboyz be taking legal action against the porn company using branded "gape gloves" without mentioning the podcast? I would provide links but I assume Stanger knows who it is. He seems to have his finger on the pulse of the adult industry. More importantly will there ever be an ActionBoyz porn parody ? will Stanger BOt or Stanger Gorgon make an appearence ?

Not a question but a pretty wild story. My brother is a sales rep for a big industrial supply company. He gets orders from film productions pretty regularly, and a lot of the time he'll end up looking at the credits for whoever he's chatting with on the phone. He got a call today from a special effects coordinator and realized pretty quickly he was the guy who packed the blanks on The Crow! I have no further information, but would love to hear some wild speculation.

I was looking at Powers Boothe's IMDB & saw that he is listed as a "hankie salesman" in the movie Cruising! Would the Action Boyz ever do that movie on the podcast? It has Powers Boothe, it is a William Friedkin movie, & the hankie code alone could give a lot of topics for conversation! https://lgbt.wikia.org/wiki/Handkerchief_code

I know modern march is never happening again but I enjoyed Novinja and Octooky. Are there any plans for future themed months?

Would u rather work with James Woods or Gary Busey?

I want a tier above Shadow Wolves only because there are too many Shadow Wolves. This thread feels like the Sexual Tyrannosaur days. Can we get another tier so us OG shadow Wolves can get above this rif-raf?

Who would win in a Gabrus style Swordfight? Arnold, Stallone, Seagal, JCVD or Liam Neeson?

Who would win in a fight? Stallone, rocky, Rambo, or cobretti? Royal rumble style, but anything goes. Same for Arnold, terminator, Conan, kruger?

I’m a big fan of all your other podcasts (Masterclass, Dumbbells, H&M, etc.) and look for you guys as guests on shows. Why does it seem like you guys are reluctant to promote Actionboyz sometimes? Everyone should be listening to this show! I’ve gotten a bunch of friends to subscribe after sharing it with them. P.S please do Universal Soldier. I’ve never even heard you guys mention it but I’d love to hear your thoughts

Amongst the action Boyz, who has the thickest cock, who has the longest cock, who has the widest cock and whose dingus is tastiest? Surely at some point in standup you've each seen each others junk. Need this info to update the wiki and get my family back from film fan.

Besides Den of Thieves, Im curious what other movies the group has thought about doing on the podcast that were ultimately voted down because they didnt deserved the honor of being included in the pantheon of great Action Boyz movies? Does everyone have a movie they wanted to do that the others didnt?

Thoughts on Midsommar?

Jesus Christ this is a lot of questions.

Did you see Midsommar? Not an action movie by any measure but I would love to hear the Boyz take on it.

This question is for Ben. I just went through all the seasons of Workaholics. I wanted to know how much of the show was improvised? Also, why didn't you appear in more than one episode? Any behind the scene stories?

Y'all have any takes on the current landscape of internet fads? e.g.: Bottle cap challenge, ice cream licking...

Why does Rodgers hate Jon Hamm?

How would you prepare your girlfriend, who has no context for this podcast, before attending the Action Boyz live show?

High intensity, steady-state or both?

How many people has filmfan killed?

Ben's Flash story got me thinking, what's the closest each of you have gotten to a major recurring role?

Will there be a Q&A at the live show? Will it be Shadow Wolves only?

Ben, have you read Al Ewing's current Immortal Hulk comic? If not its one of the best books Marvel has right now.

What’s the thing you were most scared of as a kid? (Fun scared; like boogeymen, getting your feet stolen in the night, etc.)

What's your favorite underwater scene in a movie?

Anyone want them to redo terminator 2 ?

Hey guys, anyone tracking time stamps for Yoda appearances?

Is there a spec script for the Spotlight style Star Wars sex scandal movie yet?

Can we get a Shadow Wolves only review of the newly released Shadow Wolves film starring Thomas Gibson?

Here's a question, let's make sleeveless t-shirts that say Stanger Things in the stranger things font and then have an arrow that points down the balls. Good day.

Growing up we bought all the Garfield collection of books. Looking back now, they are terrible. Any other 80s/90s pop culture that is straight garbage now that comes to mind?

How mucha bench

Biggest scumbag of action movie leading men?

Could any of you realistically hack it in the military?

Chicken or Fish?

What do the Boyz think about Lin-Manuel Miranda playing the iconic, masculine, classic action movie star Roy Scheider in "Fosse/Verdon" ​? To go another level deeper, he is not only playing Roy Scheider, but he's also playing Roy Scheider playing Bob Fosse who was a famous womanizer and who would probably be called out for some horrible​ ​shit today.​ Love the pod!

What classic action movie has a side character that needs their own spinoff? I know I'm not the only one screaming desperately for a Wolfy movie.

I was thinking about what film marks the end of the ABZ canon—similar to how Jaws and Star Wars marked the end of 70s film indie experimentation. My argument is for The Matrix. Came out at the end of the century, blends both western and eastern filmmaking techniques (I’m thinking of the wire-work and other things), has a fully realized visual world. Feels like the end of an era. What do you think? What film marks the end of the ABZ period?

Traveling back home for 20 year high school reunion... do the Action Boyz plan on going to their own? Do you keep the Action Boyz a secret if you do?

For Stanger, do you ever hesitate watching old action movies with Stone? I grew up watching whatever my dad wanted regardless of whether it was appropriate. Now that I have a boy (9), I’ve struggled to follow the same path with him.

Which actor play Billy Waugh in future movie?

Maybe not Modren March but Early-2000s-uary? Feel like there’s a few solid movie that fall outside your range but aren’t exactly modern.

Are there any truly underrated action stars?

do you feel like the action genre has anything new to show us. there was some ground broken in the 70s and 80s. and the 90s saw the rise of a new tool in CG. in the recent decades some productions thought that a first person POV would appeal to the nintendo generation but it didint stick. not a whole lot in the way of action has excited me into going to the movies lately. what havent you seen that you would like to see.

Did Rodgers cross the Northern border much growing up? Does he have any thoughts or stories about Canada or Canadians?

*2: Gape Gloves available at patron.com/actionboyz

In 2017, Gabrus was all about referencing “Grapefruiting.”* In 2018, Gabrus tired of Grapefruiting and his go-to reference was “Gape Gloves.”* It’s 6 plus months into 2019, when can we expect a new “G” themed sexual fetish reference from the #1 Fuck Boi?

What was the first movie you saw as a kid that made you realize that movies can be suck or that actors can be terrible?

Based on your discussion of Stallones painting and his Basquiat exchange with Batista during the Nighthawks episode, what are some ways in which the Boyz get what's on the inside to the outside?

Wondering what memories Jon and Ben have of Super Bowl XXV..

are you tired of film analysis video essays?

Question for Stanger and Rodger (The King Boys) What did you think of the Pet Semetary remake?

You guys pick an idea for the cold opens ahead of time or does someone just improve and the other two play ball?

In the films we enjoy there’s a lot of “like the art, not the artist”. Is there anyone in any creative field where the Boyz feel the opposite? For example the British singer-songwriter James Blunt is a decent guy and surprisingly funny, but in a Guantanamo Bay situation I wouldn’t last a single song before selling out everyone I love. 😅

I saw JG on “Nailed It!” and wanted to ask what it’s like when it’s filmed. There’s no way you spend hours watching the contestants baking so do you head off and hang out together, or are there a couple of episodes being filmed at once and the guests just head to the green room as Nicole Byer/the baker change to go to another set?

I feel like it's been a while since you guys gave a general update on your fitness routines/things you've been doing lately. Anything new on that front? Gabrus, any plans to do that triathlon this year?

Why doesn’t Ben kiss Stanger Bot more?

Is that chip or is it mongo?

Have any of you had a moment were you just snapped and revealed your inner Paul Kersey? E.g someone steals your tanning spot, pets your dog with their slimey old techno hands or stands at the deadlift rack using their phone? 🌋

Who are the best and worst movie presidents? What actor would you like to play the president of the USA?

Hey Action Boyz! We hear a lot about smokeshows and big butts in your face, but what’s your favorite on-screen hog? Chris Meloni has an A+ dick in HBO’s OZ.

What's the most egregious example of an action hero shooting up a bunch of enemies and never running out of bullets? Arnold in "Commando" and the cast of "Predator" come to mind.

Y’all ride bikes? Got any bike stories from childhood? (I’m probably riding my bike on the trails of Pittsburgh’s three rivers, keeping my eye out for the water dogs as I listen) BTW, carNEGie is right as far as it goes for Pittsburgh pronunciation if anybody gives a shit. CARnegie seems to be how people say it with Deli and Hall though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I see Gabrus follow Jinkx Monsoon on Twitter. Do the Boyz like any other Queens?

Who are the Boyz go-to 1980s smokeshows?

what two action movie stars in their prime would be your dream team up? I'd go Jackie Chan and Arnold

Stanger, does Stone have any weird friends that you wish he'd hang out with less? Rodgers and Gabrus, any kids like that you remember from when you were kids?

Now that the ABZs have done a Will Smith movie, who remains the biggest actor (who had a career during the period that the pod usually focuses on) who has yet to have a movie talked about on the pod? Denzel? Tom Hanks? Somebody I'm forgetting?

How many knives do you have to own to hit the creepy threshold?

Anybody know what happened to Film Fan?

This question is for Gabrus. Can you ask Stanger to give a full rundown on how Rodgers feels about Twin Peaks (to the best of his knowledge)?

Do you ever see any cool wildlife where you live? I feel like it's pretty thrilling to see a fox or a bald eagle or something around DC. I have no idea what they have around LA. Just going with a totally off-theme question here.

Are people who like the Star Wars prequels idiots?

Any big pet peeves when improvising w/ others?

Go-to karaoke song? Or; karaoke song someone else sings in the bar that makes you mutter "fuck yes"/want to kill yourself a little less?

You guys are always talking about movies that played constantly on cable. The one I remember continuously seeing was AIRBORNE, the Rollerblading movie featuring Seth Green and Jack Black. Did you guys watch this movie? It was corny as hell and I always ended up watching it in its entirety.

What movie/franchise do you guys think has the best character names? My personal favorite is the Rocky Franchise. Rocky Balboa, Apollo Creed, Ivan Drago, just to name a few of their great names

What is the joke or bit you did that made someone else in your life laugh the hardest?

Is there a childhood movie you loved as kid and know is bad, that you still defend? Surf ninjas for me. Ernie Reyes jr is pretty good in it.

As someone who has not played football, but does do MMA, I get taken out of some fight scenes by them being too unrealistic. Now that we know what does and doesn't work in real hand-to-hand combat, what still works for you to make fight scenes seem "real?" John Wick does a great job in the modern era, as did Warrior (2011). Thots?

Are you boys aware at the end of the movie The Man From Earth, Richard Riehle's character reveals his childhood dog's name was Woofie

Did you TP/prank houses when you were young? Do tell.

Did or did not Gabrus understaned what validating your parking meant until he moved to LA?

8==D~~~

I can't wait for wrestle-MAY-nia where y'all watch movies starring wrestlers as the main characters like They live, hell comes to frogtown, Mr Nanny, running man, suburban commando. What is hulk Hogan best film?

If you could choose an actual prop/set piece/item from any film to own, what would you want in your home? (My example, mechanical shark from Jaws)

The poison ivy neighbor stories have been great. Any other crazy girl next door stories from school or work? Been stalked?

Favorite Adult John Connor Performance? Who would be your dream casting for the role, if you had THE POWER?!

I’m not mad about the missing episode, I just want to know what is the best sandwich? Also how long would you wait before going cannibal?

What action movie has the best behind the scenes vignettes, also which has the best commentary?

Gabrus has mentioned his fondness for D&D. Do you ever play? Is it just a childhood nostalgia thing these days?

Who is the most bloodthirsty character in the Actionboyz movies so far? My pick is Mike Banning.

What do y’all think of the Andy Sidaris movies? (Hard Ticket to Hawaii)

Do you think extreme sports will make a comeback in films?

How do the Boyz feel about the films of David Ayer? Haven’t seen Suicide Squad or Bright but the rest are all pretty wild. Especially Christian Bale’s white guy Latino accent in Harsh Times.

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

You guys have talked a lot about new trends you don't like in modern action movies, but are there any trends or innovations that you're excited about? 

I think Gabrus mentioned listening to Loveline in the past, and Stanger has dropped some "Carolla-ism's" a few times. As a former Loveline and Carolla podcast listener myself, when did the Boyz realize he sucked?

Stanger, have you seen Everybody Wants Some (Linkletter’s movie about a Texas college baseball team before the season starts)? In the movie the principal theme seems to be that the players can’t stop competing at literally everything. Would you say that was true of you and your teammates in college?

Will you please pledge to not do any Q&A at the live episode in Chicago?

More fantasy movies! You've mentioned "Excalibur" before and I'd love to hear your take on it. I'd also like to suggest "Dragonslayer" (1981) which features maybe the best practical effects dragon ever, and stars that guy from Ghostbusters 2.

What is a piece of media people told you to watch/read forever, but you were dead set against for whatever reason? Did you end up checking it out and actually liking it?

Did you guys have stuff like pellet rifles and slingshots as kids? Any Dodgy moments?

Can you think any movies that have an incredible intro sequence (I think of Watchmen), but is a lackluster movie aside from that. Conversely, can you think of a bad movie that has an incredible ending?

Tell me how to make good stuffing, Gabrus.

What action movie would y'all recommend to someone who doesn't like action movies to try and change their mind about the genre?

I feel like when people talk about the big action starz of the 80s and 90s, Dolph Lundgren's name is often left off that list, why do you guys think that might be?

I’m going to need proof of life from the Boyz, post the ID4 ep or blink twice if you’re being held in an Australian kick boxing tournament against your will.

patreon tier idea: for $x a month you get access to a google docs spreadsheet, each patron can add one movie, and once a month one movie from the list gets picked. Once your pick is removed, you can add a new one.

Everything about Triple Frontier sounds like it is awesome. However, as a whole it doesn't seem to quite work, and I don't have the movie smarts to explain it. What does this movie do wrong? How could it have been better?

Do you think Seagal is more of a carrot or a watermelon guy?

What are y’all thoughts on Scorsese’s “The Irishman”? Also, when is the Independence Day episode gonna be available to download? I’ve been trying all morning and Patreon is giving me nothing but problems

Hey, wanted to get the Action Boyz take on fandom as adults. What is your baseline for what a fan of something constitutes. Is there anything you feel like a hardcore fan of? Thanks.

if you guys could choose one vehicle/method of transportation from the movies you've watched to be your daily driver, which would it be?

Boston, Chicago, New York, Texas, etc. all seem to end up sending their comedy talent to LA eventually. Comedians' geographical backgrounds end up being fodder on a lot of podcasts and it is often treated like it is interesting. In reality, which geographical comedy source is the most obnoxious and repetitive to discuss? Has High and Mighty single handedly taken Long Island to the top of the list?

What’s your favorite movie that’s in an antithetical genre to action movies? So romance, or character pieces, or quieter foreign film?

Hey action boys- I’ve recently hit 27 and I’ve had a myriad of gym injuries suddenly pile up (low back, hip and rotator cuff strains); what is your prehab/ mobility workout routines to deal with and preventing injuries ?

How did each ABz lose their virginity?

How did Rhino and Nancy meet?

Are there any distinct elements that differentiate a “War” movie from an “Action” movie?

Gabrus has H&M, Stanger has Dumbells. Rodgers, if you were launching your own podcast, what would you do?

There are no bad answers here. What are your genuine reactions when you see that a patreon subscriber is legitimately pissed off at you guys?

What actor/actress do you think had the best run of back to back hits? John Cazale had an amazing run

I love your politics talk...thoughts on the first debates? Early favorites going forward for 2020?

What do you think Seagal can bench?

Do you guys think Trump keeps up with current action movies? If so, which ones do you think are his new favorites? I can see him loving the Expendables franchise, but hating John Wick.

Favorite Bond girl and Bond theme song?

Baseball is America's pastime and shit, do you have favorite baseball movies?

What movie do you think squanders the sum of it's parts the most? e.g The Score had De Niro, Brando and Norton and is wildly shitty

You guys seen OJ’s Twitter?

What’s your favorite Gatorade flavor

Are there any action movies you didn’t like overall but think have a great scene? I didn’t love Atomic Blonde but the staircase fight scene was as good as anything I’ve seen in the last few years.

How was DCM?

A disgraced movie producer wants to get back in the game. He knows the Action Boyz have the juice. He hires you to make his next movie. It is a blank page you do what you want. One of you writes, one directs and one stars. Who gets what job?

what do you guys think of colliders new “action guys” podcast? even has an identical logo...
