August Shadow Wolves

QUESTIONS ARE CLOSED MIJO

Any of you boyz seen any Scott Adkins movies? Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning is a straight up good / wild movie. Dolph and JCVD are both in it. He also has a recent one called Avengement that has maybe the worst title of all time, but some pretty awesome action sequences.

What are your favorites clothing brands or styles? I sweat like a pig in even mild heat so the fancy “athlesure(?)” lines work well at hiding my disgusting body but still look good. Any Recs along those lines?

When the F are you nimrods doing battlefield Earth!?

Is Green Shirt Guy Chuck Stanger?

Fuck my previous question. Can you please go into extensions detail on thoughts and feelings regarding this? https://apple.news/A-eCk7k8LRVmvBkPP3ywzDQ

Are you guys watching hard knocks? If so did you like the Guy Fieri cameo?

Is there a worse move at a party than playing an instrument?

Is Liam Neeson an action star now?

Which country has the coolest Special Forces?

If you guys can't find a way to make a Boogie Nights discussion work for the show, can you just do a 2 and a half hour pod on 'Brock Landers: Angels Live in My Town' starring Dirk Diggler and Reed Rothchild (definitely an action movie) instead?

Action Boyz, I'm not angry, but it would be tits if you did this movie or discussed it for its re-release and re-cut in theater. <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VyNwha5hrAo" width="560"></iframe>

Don't think there has been any discussion of the Dark Tower series on the pod. Surprising considering your affinity for fantasy novels / Stephen King. Have y'all read them? Optimistic about the new amazon series?

Probably a hot question... but in the light of the recent shootings, how do you think the country's obsession with violence and people jerking off to the thought of themselves being a Death Wish style vigilante wielding ARs and open carrying is married to action films? I dont think films are the cause, but Americans are obsessed with violence. I understand if yall dont wanna talk about this stuff, but I like when yall get a little political.

Recently watched Willow with my kid and explained the difference between practical effects and CGI. Seeing the wonder and gears moving while he tried to figure out how they did practical effects was pretty fun. What were the first films while growing up you saw where you were endlessly trying to dissect how they were made? Future possible film rec’s - Magnificent Seven, Three Kings

Any good new podcasts you guys are listening to? I loved the NXVIM Uncover podcast you guys recommended some months ago.

Did you have any crazy or weird fears when you were a kid? Up until about 5 or 6 years old I was terrified of mannequins and would scurry past shop windows with them and freak out in clothes stores.

What is the best trash talk you boys ever heard coming up in sports? Sure stranger has some good ones nine he played college ball at Cal.

which movie post-apocalypse do you think you’d have the best chance in?

I was reading Jim Bakker's Wikipedia page and learned that he served time with a guy named Roger Nelson. Turns out Nelson was a famous skydiver who ran a very successful skydiving drug smuggling ring for years bringing marijuana and cocaine to the US from South America. Drop Zone is based on a true story.

Would you say AIDS is a character on the podcast?

Gotta know your stance on whether or not squirt is pee.

Just wondering what Gabrus's high score was on Leisure Suit Larry and if Rogers or Stanger ever played the game as well?

Hey Gabrus and Stranger, do you guys have any favorites or any particular standout performers from your recently mentioned PWG trip?

What's the worst movie you thought was a masterpiece because you were young and dumb? Conversely, what's the best movie you wrongly thought was terrible?

Who would you stack up against each other for a celebrity deathmatch? Celebrity deathmatch being that claymation MTV show by Eric Fogel.

Why is Uwe Boll?

Any memories of watching either local TV action movie marathons or TBS’ Seven Days of 007?

Another nightmare dating advice q for the boyz: I recently discovered that a guy I was casually seeing for 4 months had a serious girlfriend the entire time (they weren't open, she had no clue.) I'm obviously not seeing him anymore, but do I have a responsibility to reach out to this girl? Or is it better to just walk away & hope it eventually catches up with him?

I worked on the TV Series Lethal Weapon for 2 of the 3 seasons in a capacity where I was on set at least 2 days a week. I would see the cast often and was cordial with them. Once during the season I saw Damon Wayans out at a fancy place in Santa Monica. He was walking and stopped by me so I mentioned to him that I worked on the show. The conversation went like this: ME: “Hey Damon, I work on your show actually.” Damon - “what show?” Me- “Lethal Weapon.” Damon - “I hate that show... I FUCKING hate that show!” Then he just walked away and left the place. To this day it still makes me laugh really hard. The show was a bit of a shit show production wise. There’s an interesting podcast with Clayne Crawford after he was fired that is maybe 90% accurate. Not a question but feels ActionBoyz adjacent.

Anybody else feel like Brad Pitt was giving off strong Stanger vibes in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood?

If the Boyz lottery syndicate won and you could each have a second home somewhere overseas where would it be? What have been your favourite overseas cities you’ve visited?

Have the boyz seen the trailer for the Paramount Networks documentary "I Am Patrick Swayze"? If so, we gotta hear your thoughts. https://youtu.be/dFb2PxB_MwM

My friend's father is a pilot who flew a private jet for Warner Brothers years ago and he's flown lots of musicians and movie stars. Once we asked him who was the worst celebrity he ever had as a passenger and he responded with "either Madonna or Steven Seagal."  He told us that Seagal showed up to the airstrip with a loaded gun and refused to fly without the piece. My buddy's dad was a legit tough guy who was definitely not impressed by Seagal. After arguing for a while Seagal agreed to unload the weapon in front of the rest of the crew and stow it with the rest of his luggage.  Probably worth noting for Gabrus' sake I'm pretty sure this took place at a private airstrip on Long Island.

You guys clearly have all watched a lot of episodes of Shark Tank but have you guys ever bought anything that was on the show?

Do you have a favorite "hip-hop" action movie? "Belly" with Nas and DMX is great and Tupac is awesome in "Juice".

Hey guys thanks for the eps. Have you considered covering Raging Bull, early Scorsese? And Jack Ryan, Sicario type movies/streaming content?

Is the story Rodgers talks about (and bases a theoretical script off of) on Hollywood Masterclass about running away from home and living in the woods true?

When are you doing Silverado? Directed by Lawrence Kasdan with Kevin Costner, Jeff Goldblum, Danny Glover, Jeff Fahey and Rosanna Arquette to name a few.

Totally just thought of this question on my own.... What would your bodega sign say?

If Seagal got 'The Way of the Shadow Wolves' made into a movie, do you think he would insist on playing the lead Native American character? And would the Boyz audition for parts?

Gabrus, were you at all upset about covering The Quest on How Did This Get Made rather than a better JCVD movie? Also, did you mention Stanger and Rodgers could be on the show or was it every Action Boy for himself?

Gabrus, do you have any home videos of your dad? After hearing countless versions of your impression of him, it would be wild to hear the real man behind the myth.

How badly does Rodgers want to live in the trailer Brad Pitt was living in, in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood?

Seems like Surprise, Kill, Vanish is the closest thing to an action boyz book club we have, can you guys go a little more in-depth in your thoughts on the book? And maybe pick another book for next month?

Who is a celebrity or public figure that just irrationally makes your blood boil? Personally, the Dyson guy enrages me when he talks about his fucking vacuums like they're changing the world.

Have you ever plotted a revenge scheme and gone through with it?

Favorite Nicholas Cage movie?

Have either of you tried “Floating” In an isolation tank? Hidden Movie Gem: I saw “The Swimmer” with Bert Lancaster after Fellow Shadow Wolf Billy shared the story with me. If you have seen it what did you think?

Seagal, JCVD, Schwarzenegger. Could you have saved one of their careers from downfall by being the only person to green light their next projects?

How would pop culture be different if Sorcerer were a huge success and Star Wars a giant flop? They both came out on the same day

After recently watching Men in Black and the Predator, two movies that may not be good but that I enjoyed, I realize that both Tessa Thompson and Olivia Munn could be good in their own action movies. Are there any actresses that you'd like to see lead an action film?

Blonde, brunette, redhead? Slim, athletic, or voluptuous? Demure, aggressive, or sleazy? Be honest, you'll enjoy yourself more.

Hey guys thanks for the eps! What is your go to frozen pizza choice?

Actionboyz, what was the best year of your lives?

What are some good movies to watch with your dad? Mine has a pretty similar action faction taste and he's in the hospital and I want something we can do besides ruminate on sickness, ya know? Sorry if this one is a little depressing, mijos.

Seriously though, why doesn't Stanger get any kisses?

what show is Ben writing for? I'd like to know so I can DVR it or buy it off iTunes to support Dr. Runtime

Are any of the ABZs current or former fans of Mixed Martial Arts? I've heard pro wrestling, football, hockey, etc. discussed on the pod, but never combat sports like the UFC or Bellator. Do you guys know anybody has tried to become an MMA fighter?

what comic book/character would you most like to write a run for?

What would be your ultimate ActionBoyz movie spin off movie? Podo and Koto in a Milo and Ottis remake? Rain, Thunder and Lightning from BTLC in a Bloodsport style fighting tournament? What would it be?

Do you know any movies that portray PTSD in a nuanced way ? Any movies Rog's brother says is accurate to actual combat ?

You guys like flying kites? Any good kite stories?

Have the ActionBoyz checked out 'The Boys' the new Amazon series? Would love to hear your thoughts if you have?

What is the thing you most wanted as a kid (toy, pair of shoes, etc.) but we’re never able to get?

What movie do you feel you’ve had the most fun talking about on the show? There are certain episodes that there seems to be more of an excitement/happiness to talk about a particular movie than others. All episodes are 10/10 but certain ones hit an 11. Thank you, gents:)

If you were in the Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey situation and had to defeat Death what games would you pick?

Apologies if this has been asked in the past, but I do not remember hearing. We know what movies you guys like, and we know a little bit about the TV you watch and shows you go to, but I am curious about what music the three of you like(other than Gabrus's fandom of Billy Joel). For each of you, what is one album from any period you love, and one album from the past 5 years you would recommend?

I remember watching Enter The Ninja with my friends. Then we made ninja costumes and beat each other with bits of lumber. Did you ever play out the action movie you just watched as kids?

As a group of people that are into fitness, are you as frustrated as I am with how poor the workout routines and how inefficient the usage is in gym porn?

Would love to see you guys bring back the spoof genre. What movie would you want to be the centerpiece to spoof off of? CreamPie Hard?

Between the Action Faction, Bell Babies, #2 fuck boys and girls and Masterclass students, whose fan base is the most annoying?

The director of The Fugitive, Andrew Davis is doing an audience Q&A at the Music Box Theater in Chicago after the films screening. Do the Action Boyz, Shadow Wolves, or Action Faction want me to ask a question on behalf of the podcast?

Are there any movies that terrified you as a kid that are not particularly scary? I remember being at a friends house and Running Scared was on and something freaked me out about it...now I find out it’s just a comedy and wonder what the hell it was??

Who had the better overall career, Stallone or  Schwarzenegger?

This came up in the most recent Shadow Wolves of a great death scene (Dyson). But what are your some of the most memorable/iconic death scenes that come to mind or that maybe left a lasting impression on you when you first saw them? Two that always stuck with me were Kevin Spacey’s death in LA Confidential. The first time I saw that movie his death shocked me, but also how he acted it. Not a showy death or glamorous and the way he just died with his eyes open was always disturbing. Second would be Adam Goldberg’s death in Saving Private Ryan. I don’t think I’ve ever had as visceral reaction where I felt physically pained as he got slowly stabbed. It nearly made me ill the first time I saw that movie.

To Live and Die in L.A. has been referenced a few times as a good choice for the podcast that just isn't readily available enough. Any other potential Action Boyz movies you wish were available streaming?

What's a Harold/Maude night? It's it just a set series of improv games?;

Favorite use of a pop song in a film? Rodgers recently referenced Tarantino's use of Bowie's Cat People (Putting Out Fires) in Inglourius Basterds. I feckin loved that song in that scene. Non-diegetic faves? Thanks Boyz

Do you have any stories of almost dying?

Any first time drinking stories?

This is a lot of pressure

The action boyz have been hired to kill a giant great white shark that has been terrorizing a small new england town. How do they kill the shark?

Stealing this from the Dumbbells: what kind of action movie fighting style do you want to learn?

Thoughts on The Irishman? The “de-aging” and Netflix release have lowered my expectations.

General movie hype for the rest of the year? Also did any of you guys catch Midsommar? Probably my #1 of the year so far (though Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was close, talk about that one too in case y'all forget)

If the boyz has to make a football team out of characters from the movies- who are some that would make the final 52 roster?

What's the closest you guys have ever come to dying?

Sleaziest Bronson movie?

Video games come up with some frequency in Action Boyz episodes and it sounds like Gabrus and Rogers have some experience with games (Battletoads, Gabrus renting Neo Geo, etc.). Any funny stories or fond memories concerning gaming with friends back in the day or in general?

Worst or best dates you guys have ever been on?

Is there a movie you've done that you struggled to give 5 stars? I didn't think so.

If you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life, what would it be? What if we limit it to 5 star movies that have already appeared on the ActionBoyz?

If a zombie apocalypse broke out during a taping of the podcast, what would be your strategy for survival and who would die first?

Is there any action movie you'd like to be continued as a tv miniseries? Tarantino talked about doing that with his new movie.

I know at least Gabrus has talked before about seeing unsigned bands and local bands on the come-up (I specifically remember him mentioning TV On the Radio before they got big). Seeing local and regional bands in small clubs, dive bars, and basements is a big part of my life and I was wondering if any of the Action Boyz had any favorite local unknowns from any era of their life. On the flip side of that, I've never really been into stadium shows and I've heard you guys talk about those - maybe a few thoughts on the attraction there? Thanks, Action Boyz.

I loved the Death Wish episode, made me wonder if you guys would even go back a little further in time for movies...would love an ep. on a Connery Bond like Goldfinger as an example...maybe an earlier Eastwood?

Could God make a carrot so big even Steven Seagal couldn't eat it?

What are ActionBoyz favorite/go to “pump up” songs?

What’s the most exciting weapon to see when a movie does the picking out equipment from the massive armory scene? A big gun, rocket launcher, a big knife, or something else exotic?

Action Boyz, I just finally got through all the back episodes of this podcast including Shadow Wolves. What a ride. Thoughts on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood?

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

Stanger has said several times that his mom listens to the cast, but does she actually listen to every minute of every ep? Has she ever expressed disapproval?
