Shadow Wolves April 2020 Answers

Listening in 2025. Ben called the strike.

Been going down the rabbit hole on old Shadow Wolves. ‘A sign that says God Hates FAQs” is an amazingly specific and absurd joke.

911 ✔️ JFK ✔️ Moon landing- nah

Hell yeah

Can you guys pray for Joey Pants? I think he has a concussion and severe body injuries.

Stanger's response to "Would you want a lion, tiger, elephant, or horse?" made me have to stop walking I was laughing so hard

I am listening to an audio book and a character mentioned is named Quimby and they keep repeating his name and all I can of think is that sweet sweet quim.

Hell yea.

Room 237 is the Loose Change of movie theories.

Can we all please post what our jobs are so the actionboyz can make a pie chart

Shout out to Starz. That's where I saw Hard Boiled the first time when I was like 12. Saw so many action films and actually good anime (Akira, Tank Police, Ninja Scroll, etc) growing up.

Hurry up and do Le Cercle Rouge.

I know it's tough to actually write a post with sincerity, but thanks for doing this podcast. I'm still working and commuting so it really helps keep me sane and kinda not focus on the pandemic for a couple hours. Also, I like big butts on my face. 👍

Ben you mentioned loving that Dune Tower Defense game from back in the day and it was also in my head from all the new Dune talk out there. I loved that game but I can’t remember which one I played. There was a pc only game called Dune II and then in the late 90s there was a game called Dune 2000. I think that Dune 2000 was on consoles but not sure. It was one of the great games of that era though. I also recall playing a lot of a game called Syndicate and another called X-Com which were similar turn based strategy games. Anyway...I know you don’t give a shit but thought it was worth mentioning. I tried to get an emulator to play both of the old dune games on my mac laptop but to no avail.

I think what Stanger was referring to when he mentioned Patagonia was that there is increasing awareness that a lot of clothing (athletic, leisure, etc) and even things like towels are being made with synthetic materials that shed microfibers. And now microfibers are ending up everywhere and we don't know if they are fucking everything up or not. The NY Times recently had an article about it: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/06/science/microfibers-plastics-ocean-biology.html

I love ROOM 237. And not just cause I’m quoted on the DVD cover (yes, I’m that big an asshole). It’s much better when you watch without expecting a making of/behind the scenes doc about THE SHINING cause it isn’t really about the movie as much as it’s about how some people need to find meaning. If the director is God then nothing is without purpose (they repeatedly talk about Kubrick this way) so these images simply meant to stir and disturb must have some reason for being there, ie what is Kubrick trying to say? Having said all that, I get why listening to their bullshit might not be all that interesting to some. The exception to the group is John Fell Ryan, cause he has a sense of fun about it all and his analysis rules. The director’s short THE S FROM HELL is an interesting companion as it’s also more interested in how the images and sounds are received but this time without the need to intellectualize them (phenomenology). It’s felt so deeply they are literally haunted by the old Screen Gems logo. Also check out POLYTECHNIQUE if you’re a Denis Villeneuve fan. It’s about the Montreal Massacre school shooting.

What the fuck is Quibi?

ToThe Boyz. The last 3 days have been.rough back east. The sum total of your intentions give me hope. -Full bow

My take away from Room 237 wasn't that they were trying to highlight these theories as actual intent by Kubrick or valid theories in itself. I think they were specifically trying to show that it was interesting that people could come up with such wild theories based on such small details. At times it felt like they were making fun of the people coming up with the theories even.

Would American Movie be considered a documentary about the making of a film? Love that one. (Edit: Fuck me, Gabrus mentions it five minutes later)

I don’t get these episodes in my Apple podcast app anymore. Anyone know the issue?

Question for Stanger, but Gabrus and Rogers can answer: Back when I played college ball, famously, at the height of his powers, it was any port in a storm, and I don’t remember if she let me fuck her.
