SHADOW WOLF JANUARY QUESTIONS

First-time shadow wolf... so, uhhh, what do we do here?

QUESTIONS ARE CLOSED MIJO

If I'm not too late for this month's shadow wolves I would like to suggest the 1975 movie "Roller Ball" (a film where James Caan beats abunch of people to death rather than retire). For a my 3 dollar question; what do people from L.A. think of the La Brea Tar Pit Museum (I saw it on vacation as a kid and I got a real kick out of seeing all of those fossils)?

Is a rowing machine the best purchase for piece of home cardio equipment?

If the Actionboyz get a TV or Netflix show would it be commentary (like MST3K), parody (like Documentary Now!), or a sketch show about action movies and the culture around them?

Thoughts on Pamela Anderson getting secret married to Jon Peters? That sure seems like a murder-suicide waiting to happen

What did you guys think of Parasite?

Ben, should I get a dog?

What are your thoughts on the Lord of the Rings movies? Fellowship of the Ring feels like a great throwback 80s fantasy film to me. Amazing practical effects, miniatures and makeup. The second and third are great as well but rely way too much on CGI and there’s some real hokey-looking shit like the neon green ghost army.

Early thoughts on “The Outsider” series?

You guys seen John Wick? Craaazy

I was surprised to hear Stanger bust out a pitch-perfect Norville "Shaggy" Rogers impression on Dumbbells recently, as I'd never heard him do it on ABZ. Any other solid impressions he or Rodgers still have in the can? (I guess maybe Gabrus might have a good impression of, like, Startled Syosset Pedestrian #3 that he hasn't deployed yet too.)

I was listening to some back episodes over the holidays and was cracking up over a Dar appearance. It reminded me of Dar's other big IMDB credit from the early 80's: the 'V' miniseries. Did you guys ever see that? I just remember being freaked out as a kid seeing the lizard people peeling their human skin off, but fascinated because it had the Beastmaster in it. Also- would you guys ever do a commentary on Enter the Kettlebell with Pavel? Its streaming on Prime and only 40 minutes (Dr Runtime approved).

Did you listen to the three Rewatchables pods that Tarantino did? They're on Dunkirk, Unstoppable, and King of New York (great ABz film, had to double check you haven't done it already)

The bIllionaire Tom Steyer says he's for wealth redistribution, do you believe him? Is it time for the richest nation in the world to eliminate extreme poverty?

You've said a few times that you regret the name Action Boyz. If you could rename the pod, what would you wanna call it?

Have the action boyz ever watched the Canadian show trailer park boys if so what was your opinion

Best action moviestar to trick into eating mushrooms before a red carpet?

Inspired by today's episode and a Saturday night that would pique Yoda's interest I have to ask the boys; is the fifth date too soon to raw dog a woman I'm seeing?

1917?

Are there any movies you think benefit from being viewed in a lower quality? I've got the original DVD version of The Warriors and I think it just works better in that grainy 480p transfer (With the added benefit of not having the garbage prologue and "comic book" transitions that the Director's Cut Blu-Ray added.)

Have the bpyz heard Tarrantino on the rewatchables? Thoughts?

Has anyone seen “One Cut of the Dead” (currently streaming on Shudder)? Just watched it last night, feels like something movie nerds would enjoy. A movie about a movie about a movie about a movie (I think I got that right). Less of a circle jerk than I just made it sound. Funny.

Mel Gibson Payback (1999) - on the list, off the list, or on the bubble?

What brand of celery juice do the Boyz prefer?

Did the action boyz ever watch the kuffs blue-ray with the new commentary?

Do you believe Tarantino will really quit after making his 10th film?

Favorite trucker movie?

Alaska?

Have you guys ever discussed the similarities between Tommy Wiseau and JCVD? It may have already been discussed but if not... Thanks.

Hypothetically, If you claimed to have been at the Twin Towers for 9/11, but it was later found out that you weren’t there and you were lying about it, what could you do to redeem yourself? Is there nothing this hypothetical person could do to avoid further ridicule? Asking for a friend.

Do you think they do Tai Chi in Kickboxer because JCVD thought Tai Chi was from Thailand?

Currently re-reading The Dark Tower series. You guys talk about King a lot , so I wanted to see if you have any thoughts on Amazon giving the series another shot on screen.

Hey ActionBoyz, if you could rewrite one plot point or ending of any mid-tier action movie to make it into a CLASSIC action movie, what would it be? Also, do Zardoz for Science Fibruary.

Is Penn Badgley going to start stealing all Rodgers' roles? The trailer for You on Netflix is like a peek into Rodgers' poorly-masked psyche. What Action Boyz star/character actor played a role you would assume is most like their real-life personality?

Are you still going to do an episode on Pumping Iron?

Do you guys have opinions on Scott Adkins recent output? I really liked last year’s “Avengement”

Hi guys, thanks for the shout out on the August Shadow Wolves episode. This is a multi-part question. What is your favorite pizza place in LA? What is your favorite pizza place when you are touring? And what is best source of natural HGH?

Thoughts on HBO's Watchmen series?

Gabrus talks a lot about his hard boiled eggs. Hard boiled eggs can be tough to get right. What’s his recipe? Do the ABz have any other quick, healthy recipes they’d like to share?

I've heard gabrus talk a little about surfing and as a "So-Cal surfer dude" (who hasn't been in like 3 years) i wondered if you have surfed in both New York and L.A and what differences you noticed.

Favorite bands?

If money wasn’t an object, how many Stallone paintings would you buy?

Screw it, who was the me-too guy that got invited to the poker game? Fuck em.

Did Rodgers get Toronto TV stations in Buffalo and if so does he remember CityTV’s Late Great Movies or Baby Blue Movies?

Have you boyz heard of the documentary In search of the last action hero?

How much money to get you three to perform at bugcon?

You guys don't seem as vulnerable to the more toxic aspects of masculinity, despite the fact that a lot of your audience hasn't picked up on that. Are there any habits/activities that are viewed as stereotypically feminine that you guys get a lot of satisfaction from? I'm a 6'5" 200lb hairy lumberjack type, and I get weird looks when I describe the haircare regimen I adopted for my thick, curly hair.

Any recommendations for podcasts that you guy have been listening to? I enjoyed 'The Dropout' when you guys brought it up on an early shadow wolves ep. Thanks.

Can we get a Patreon tier with Nancy, Tiffany, and uh... I guess Jane, doing a monthly episode?

Why does Stanger love BBC videos so much?

Best crime syndicate? Mafia, yakuza, cartel, triad, etc.

have ya'll ever written a screenplay and if so what's that like?

Hand to god, do you think Stanger in his heyday could have caught the BMW on foot in the opening of Lethal Weapon 2?

You guys should start the “5 pints for breakfast” challenge. Mel had to be onto something right?

Just watched the first half of Primal by Genndy Tartakovsky. I had a buddy just argue to me he's the greatest living action director (hot take). You guys did GI Joe, but are there other animations that break into your must watch list.

I've got an Arnold story: This was just over 20 years ago when I worked in a resort town where Arnold and a couple other celebrities had houses. I worked at a restaurant that was near the entrance to the resort, so it wasn't uncommon to see some of the celebrities. One time on a quiet Sunday morning, I was about to take my break when I spot the unmistakeable frame of Arnold -- wearing pajama pants, flip flops and an unshaven face, ordering ice cream cones for his kids. Half of our employees were young Europeans getting credits for some hotel management degree, and Arnold seemingly recognized the young Polish woman at the ice cream bar was European, and he was grinning at her as she scooped ice cream, waiting for some kind of reaction from her. Finally he asks "Wheh ah you frum?" And she quietly says Poland. As he takes his ice cream cones, he booms back at her "I'M FROM AUSTRIA!" and walks out the door.

Gabrus you inspired me to my first half marathon , any tips for race day ?

Best/Worst thing about living in LA?

Does it mess with your suspension of disbelief to see your friends or coworkers in stuff? Like Lauren Lapkus in Jurassic World or Eugene Cordero and Adam Pally in Mandalorian?

I moved to Sherman Oaks about a year ago and have since spotted Ray Liotta, William Fichtner and Keith David on separate occasions at the same restaurant. I think I may have discovered the Action Boyz graveyard.

Would love to hear some parenting advice from Stanger, or at least his perspective. As person who had a mediocre father who was uninterested being a real parent, I'm very motivated to do better than he did. I'm curious how Stanger views it as he seems to have a great approach and do a great job.

Happy Cold Open Day Action Boyz!!!

What’s the weirdest fitness trend/workout/gear you’ve ever tried? And did it work ?

Any stories of you guys rubbing the success of Action Boyz in anyone's face. Any times you've had to tell Tiff or Nancy that JCVD helps pay the bills around here?

you guys have top 10s (or at least fives) for 2019 movies?

You guys think Patrick Swayze is listening to the action boyz in the after life?

Any book recommendations?

Does Stanger decide whether he is gonna do the Bot or Gorgon (or Stone) ahead of time? And does he plan any part of the bit out or is it just pure top notch improv?

Thoughts on recent Jesse Eisenburg movie, The Art of Self Defense? Asking because the Boyz have experience of doing these classes and I saw parallels in the movie to being part of an expensive, cliquey, sub-cult like improv.

@gabrus do you dab? or just smoke flower?

Wanted to check in with the Boyz going into 2020, how do y'all feel about the state of the pod? It's almost been three years now since the beginning of the Patreon! I believe y'all once referred to this as a "Trump-era pod", is there an end in mind for you guys come 2020 or is this Money Train still running till at least 2024?

Who's your favorite Wack Packer? In my opinion, Eric the DUMBASS Midget was the undisputed King of the Wack Pack, but Jeff the Drunk and Wendy the Retard are also top tier. High Pitch Erik is an overrated fat scamming piece of crap.

I finally listened to the Predator episode on High and Mighty. You guys talked about feeling disappointed that the Billy/predator fight occurred off screen, but I always assumed that Billy had decided to commit suicide by predator. The fact that an intimidating guy like Billy was that scared made me feel even more freaked out. I guess my question is--am I the only one who thought this? And, am I splitting hairs and bothering you? I can't always tell which questions will make you mad.

If you could take any classic action star from their prime and put them into any modern action movie who would you choose and what film would they be in?

Gabrus, can you talk about being in Bombshell? Best cameo of the movie!

Wondering if you want to share your thoughts on Uncut Gems? I fucking loved it.

have you seen honey boy, and if so, did it make you want to play your own dad in a slightly fictionalized autobiographical movie? I feel like gabrus is already most of the way there.

Hey guys, I really loved the 1000 Patron Party bonus episode you did a while ago. Any chance of another similar style of ep, with newer characters (Cream Pie Yoda, Gwildor, Friedkin) or check ins/updates with old characters (just so we know Dar's doing okay)?

For Gabrus, mainly: henry cavill in mission impossible or witcher?

You boys watched Jean Claude Van Johnson?

Did you see/like 'Knives Out'? Thoughts?

When you were young, what were your expectations of the year 2020? Flying cars? Free energy from cold fusion? Proliferation of fake videos that are so realistic they usher in a Post-Truth era for the world? "Gattaca" and "Idiocracy" manifest?

Can the waiter version of Stanger Gorgon be added to the rotation for upcoming shows?

If you could have one item from any of the ABZ films what would it be? I'm torn between Stallones car from Cobra or Arnold's cabin from Commando.

In a one on one fight who wins... A guy with a bat or a guy with a machete?

What was the action boyz' favourite Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanza/Festivus present they got/gave this year?

I know you've already got a guns expert and a car guy lined up... but I also think I'm very interesting so do you need me to appear on the podcast as a weird niche expert?

I am curious how often the boys launch into stuff from ActionBoyz in their real lives. Like impressions, or conversations from the show that they suddenly realize the people around them have no idea what they are talking about.

If you 3 were going to produce your own action movie today, who would you want to cast as the protagonist/antagonist/love interest?

This is a question for Stanger, but I'll open it up to all the boyz. Who the fuck do you think you are? kisses for bot/gorgon.

What friendships/relationships ended or nearly ended based mainly on someone’s opinion of a movie

What is your fav concert/festival story?

There’s an alternate universe where Stanger runs a 4.46 Accutrack, get signed by the Bills and has a 3+ year career as a backup FB/Special Teamer. How big of a fan is Alt. Rodger’s father of him? Does he constantly mention how he’s “scrappy” and “he plays the game the right way”?

My grandma had a quick Arnold interaction in the early 90s. She was swimming in a hotel pool in Italy on vacation with all her old lady friends and Arnold was staying at the same hotel with his family. My grandma and her friends were loudly complaining to each other about how cold the water was, and Arnold swam over to them and said, "If you swim, the water won't be cold."

Does the fact that FilmFan no longer subscribes fill you with a sense of sadness or achievement?

Most anticipated movie for 2020?

Not a question but a story. About 10 years ago I was installing the HVAC system for Paul DeAngelo, the jock from sleepaway camp. His entire house is bright white marble, everything. He has white lion statues everywhere, by the pool, by his bed and the bathroom. As I was finishing the job he asked if I can stay abit and put bright white caulk around the base of these statues. He said that he knows my day is technically over but that he would "take care of me" After I fished he handed me an autographed 8x10. I declined the 8x10 and said to him I dont know what I would do with that. He never had me work at his house again.

What's your plan to survive an avalanche?

Any good theme park/rollercoaster stories?

Question mainly for Stanger and Rodgers - I stopped drinking a couple years ago but still am weird as fuck sometimes out with other people or on dates. Any tips for working through that shit and staying clean, lean, and not Charlie Sheen?

I just watched You. Is it true Rodgers was the basis for the show?
