Manhunter (1986)
You want the scent!? Smell yourselves ActionBabyz! This week's movie is MANHUNTER. Is it an action movie? Not exactly, but the Boyz promised thrills and chills for the month of August - remember? This beautiful piece of cinema has everything you've come to expect from an ABZ movie: sea turtle hatcheries, an erotic scene with a drugged tiger and family pets being murdered by a serial killer. So sit back, relax and put some broken pieces of mirror over your eyes so the Boyz can watch themselves become gods.

Since you guys mention both the shorts and wanting to know how specific Mann is with planning his visuals, I just want to pass along that the screenplay specifically says “violet shorts” at least 3 or 4 times. A true visionary
"You like Foldgers, right dad?" "I do, it's the best part of waking up."
Hell yeah
The BBG (big beautiful guy) porn version of this movie would be called “Man-gunter”
Manhunter works too
It’s more a thriller than an action movie but Jennifer 8 would be a great episode. Lance Henriksen is great in it
First time I’d seen MANHUNTER. What a hot fucking mess of a movie. I had super high expectations. No wonder it got panned back in the day.
Just wanna give a shout out to Jell-O, a Western New York invention. Jiggle it, baby.
I like how in the intro Gabrus says "I want to be an actor." Give yourself more credit, man. In my eyes, you already are one.
Any confirmation on Chicago? Plane tickets are gonna start getting expensive soon
It has been confirmed. I don't know when because I'm not going, but I can confirm it's been confirmed.
I really had a hard time staying focused on this movie this weekend but you guys are so enthusiastic about it, I’ll go back and watch the rest before finishing this episode.... I like the visuals but it’s super slow... I will try again.
Ok I finished it! Now I can go back to the podcast 😂 I ended up really enjoying it - I think I stopped before a lot of interesting stuff started happening
Man I love the Hannibal TV series. Second season is my favorite, but when they get to the Red Dragon storyline in season 3, it's fantastic. Mads is my favorite Hannibal, and I still can't believe how much gore they were able to get away with on network television. Hell, I even own the cookbook! I highly encourage all the Boyz to watch it.
The Red Dragon part was great, but the rest of Season 3...by the time it was done, I was okay with the series ending there. The Verger stuff mostly works, operating at the same high camp frequency Bryan Fuller is so comfortable in, but not even he could save the Italy/Hannibal Rising stuff. (I do want to know what Fuller's ending would look like, since he's said the final season was going to be completely original material.) Sean Clements comparing Ben to Hugh Dancy's Will Graham got a laugh out of me. Guy who isolates himself from the world and lives with a pack of stray dogs? I just don't see it.
Loved the turtle story line. Glad it paid off in the end.
Love how committed you are to the water stuff
It'd be cool if they released one video of them doing the podcast taping
I loved Rodgers getting more and more amped up as they detail how Petersen figures out the video connection.
Same, it’s great when they’re genuinely psyched by a film.
I didn’t get the poll? Is my phone broken?
100% on board with the Boyz on competence porn. Watching people who are super good at something do that thing is very satisfying.
I seen this way to many times as a kid. Awesome movie
Brilliant film, best Lecter. Why was William Peterson not bigger before CSI? He looks great and between this and To Live and Die In LA he was cool as fuck.
