Desperado (1995)
DESPERADO this week guyz and girlz... This movie is very 90's but in all the best ways. Who gives a fuck if the mariachi's plan doesn't make a lick of sense?! What was he hoping to accomplish with his mariachi buddies? Why did the false guitar in the case always pop open? Why did that one guy always do a side lunge before firing his rocket launcher - it doesn't matter. This movie is cool as hell.
Did the ActionBoyz thank you for listening to all these episodes?
No?
They will...

Alright actionboysz, time to weigh in. Are you team Torrance or team Chief? Great ep btw.
Hey, my friend... Christos is actually credited as himself, buddy.
Hell yeah
IM A CLASSIC MAN!
Kind of a love letter to Mexico’s current state. Nnn shit
Kind of a love letter to Back To The Future, if you think about it.
Can someone tally up the amount of time they reference other characters vs talking about Desperado? I think we have a record breaker, this episode.
Stanger had a CT / Dumbbells moment when he called Krycheck Cryo.
Thought it was more a nickname: Kryo
Damn with all the goddamn GOLD in this episode and then at the end we also get a Paul McCartney bit?? I'm ♫simply having a wonderful Iron Eagle ♫
ATTENTION: ONLY SHADOW WOLVES SHOULD READ THIS --- I just saw an interview with Stallone where in the interview he mentions that he's working with Robert Rodriguez right now about Cobra as a tv series. He also said he really wants to do a Tango & Cash follow-up but it sounds like he Kurt is just like "we're too old man."
top 10 ep. also love that Sly's instagram of the BBQ with Dolph and Arnold has become like the rosetta stone of the podcast.
This episode is either the best or worst one to get friends on board. The Sly, Arnold, Dolph, Masters, the Source world is so funny. The Chicago live show is still a hoax..
Imagine someone listening to this episode just because they’re a Desperado superfan, without any ABz context.
Does anyone want meet up at the market before the live show?
I bet the previous owner of Rodger's house boat was former Buffalo Sabre Miroslav Šatan.
“This is unbelievable!, it’s Tuesday!”
Excited to hear thoughts on IT. Because of Action Boyz I noticed the amount of voiceover explaining the previous scenes, very much a movie for stupid people. And they could easily trim a solid thirty if they cut McAvoys stutter.
Another legendary episode. Fucking dying at work.
...and less to do with the movie than most!
Pittsburgh hometown hero Tom Savini is the special effect makeup wizard who played the dick-gun wielding Sex Machine in FDTD.🤓
YES!
Just some fun with numbers: Dr Runtime tells us about skipping out on a 2:50 movie while on a 2:40 podcast, about a 1:47 movie.
“We gotta end this” hahahaha
Rodgers with a good call...would love to see Rodriguez do a Stephen King movie. Also that imaginary friend bit during Gorgon was great
The big reaction from the Mexicans during Buscemi's story was the one guy saying "smells like shit"
gracias
Really enjoying Ben on that Star Trek podcast he name-dropped.
The curse of the Action Boyz: telling them how much you think they'd like Battle Angel: Alita will ensure they never see it
This movie fucking kicks ass
They say "Guns Don't Kill People", but D.A.R.Y.L.'s parent would beg to differ.
Garth and Church Lady are both Dana Carvey. Hilarious..
This Stanger Gorgon visit is an all timer
It’s cool ese......
Question for Gabrus and Stanger: What did you think of It Chapter 2?
I'm a deputy and this is absolutely not the place he said to ask this question
In the U.K. Stella Artois is still known as Wife-Beater but less so than it used to be. This isn’t a change in sensitivity or social mores and more to do with their marketing and pricing over a number of years doing its best to rebrand it as a sophisticated imported lager (from Belgium). It got its initial reputation from being reasonably priced, stronger than similar competitors at that price, and fairly palatable, leading to some ugly domestics. In Scotland the most popular lager is Tennents which is sneered at by a fair percentage too as the naffest thing you can get. However it has an offshoot called Tennents Super which everyone agrees is bloody tramp fuel. However, with the miracle of marketing and the glitter of being an imported drink it is considered in Italy to be an upscale choice for the connoisseur...🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
