The Warriors (1979)
ActionBooooyyyz come out to play-yaaaaaay!!! THE WARRIORS this week Babyz - what a treat! This is a special movie. So special, it made the Boyz steer clear of talk about adult things like buttplay and instead focus on actual wordplay. Yeah, wordplay, like a couple of dad/uncles. Don't worry Stanger somehow manages to shoehorn chem-sex into the discussion.... oh and they also talk a little about the movie. Are the ABZ good?...real good? Nah, they're the best. CAN YOU DIG IT??!

I just had the shittiest past 2 weeks and this episode turned my mood around. Thanks actionboyz ✨
Yo Gabrus, the leader of the Orphans was in The Cable Guy. The soothing sounds of Rauuuuul ladies and gentlemen.... you had honey in your voice tonight.
Loved Gabrus's surprise birthday party story. Makes me laugh and empathize everytime i think of it.
Was it brought up that the bad guy is also in 48hrs?
The Boyz were trying to think of the song that samples this movie -- there are tons that do (https://www.whosampled.com/movie/The-Warriors/), but the most bang for your buck is "Can U Dig It?" by Pop Will Eat Itself, which is basically just a dance remix of the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36nWNAvtwrw
Hey action Boyz. Whats your favorite magic the gathering card and why
can't wait to snitch tag the shit out of this episode
The big meeting of the gangs with Caesar was clearly an inspiration for/ripped-off by Frank Miller for The Mutants and the Mutant Leader in The Dark Knight Returns. 🦇
"I got pigeons, you wanna stomp on me Focker"?
#CancelStanger for pigeon stomping
I hate the new comic book transitions in one of the re-releases. Totally jarring
Went to a double feature of Warriors and Boys From Brazil at a local theater's retro night a year or two back and they had the "Director's Cut" (unadvertised.) I almost walked out immediately - Hill can say whatever he wants about "I always wanted this" but it reeked of "300 was just very popular, let's cram some sloppy comic stylization and direct mythology references into this old movie for today's audiences"
Saw Last Blood this weekend and my god was it so fucking disappointing. Looking forward to a dissection by the Boyz on Shadow Wolves though.
Yeah, I’m not so bothered by the story as long as there is plenty of action.
I knew I can rely on the Action Boyz for a Middleditch reference early on
Paul McCartney is now an honorary action boy.
I once saw this at a midnight showing at Pioneer Two Boots, with David Patrick Kelly sitting in the back of a 50-person theater. I was anxiety-filled the entire movie, thinking he was going to do his own lines from the end.
I need some strange wool
“Strange Wool” was a hit for Eric Clapton and Cream (Pie).
“Wiper...wiper...wiper...wiper!!!!”
I spent the last 15 or so years thinking I've seen this movie - nope, just played the PS2 game
I had/have such a crush on Mercy in this film. She’s got a proto-Krysten Ritter thing going on.
Great choice
