Johnny Mnemonic (1995)
We got a weird one for ya ActionBaybz! JOHNNY MNEMONIC This week. This was the last episode we recorded in the "before times". There are probably some quaint references to how gyms might be closing and some other some other dumb shit that seemed cutting edge at the time. Incredibly, we had this movie chosen and scheduled before the realities of COVID-19 had set in - without realizing there's a major virus subplot. Anyway, this movies got a $10k sex worker, an anthropomorphic dolphin in a helmet, and the triumphant return of ICE-T, bitch...In these times, what more do you need??

Great ep. Rest in rip, Udo Kier.
These guys make fun of their listeners a lot.
Hell yeah
3000 patrothns Bitch!
The talk about having enough audio for an actionboyz ai makes me wish I could program aps, I'd make an actionboyz sound board. Dar and Gwyldor at the rich of a button
3000 patrons! Congratulations ABZ! Here's to 3000 more.
I loved the return of ice t to the pod. I'd totally forgotten he was in tank girl or even that tank girl existed until it was mentioned. The Boyz would have a field day with that movie. Ice t as a fucking mutant kangaroo person. Jesus

The talk of Gibson's lost Alien 3 script reminded me -- there's a radio drama reading of the WIlliam Gibson Alien 3 script available on Audible. Michael Biehn does one of the voices. https://www.audible.com/pd/Alien-III-Audiobook/B07QY3KR81
Ooh thanks for that! Definitely going to check it out. I read all of the unproduced Alien 3 scripts a while back - my favorite was the b-movie style one that took place on a space farm. I vaguely recall a scene where two scientists fuck in zero gravity.
Henry Rollins wrote an essay for Details magazine in the 90's titled "Iron and the Soul" all about how he was picked on in high school, until a teacher named Mr. Pepperman, a Vietnam Vet, took notice and taught young Henry how to lift weights. It should be ABZ required reading.
"Monday came and I was called into Mr. P.’s office after school. He said that he was going to show me how to work out. He was going to put me on a program and start hitting me in the solar plexus in the hallway when I wasn’t looking."
“destination wedding” with Keanu is great check it out.
A movie with a virus outbreak during our pandemic? Sounds like the perfect movie.
A few episodes ago they said Gwilldor was catholic, now he's christian? What's canon?
Whoa there ABZ. Jamiroquai are awesome. Watch it.
Takeshi Kitano, who plays Takahashi, is a great director, he makes fantastically violent Yakuza films in Japan and has made at least one American film called "Brother". If the Boyz haven't seen his movies, they would seriously love them. Stoked to hear a "Black Rain" episode is on the horizon.
Agreed. Violent Cop, Boiling Point and Sonatine are my favourites. I think Rodgers is a fan of Jean-Pierre Melville, I'd say the two are comparable.
Gabrus doing the psych test at Brooklyn College probably programmed him like the MK Ultra unabomber shit
'I call that the Deadliest Catch' hahahahahhaha
"I have a lot of thoughts on him." "Don't take this as an insult, but I have to go to the bathroom." "I care about your thoughts on him Stanger." "Well....I just like him." Outstanding.
When are the boyz gonna do boiling point again
after the beat takeshi one

Great movie for an episode, what a trip.
In heaven, God relaxes on a cloud, wearing headphones. He's listening to Action Boyz, and when he laughs, the angels laugh with him.
