Hell yeah
I come back to this episode time and time again, just to hear Stanger speaking his “Dream nonsense”…I cry with laughter every time
The audio is so bad in the copy that I watched. How is every noise louder than the voices?
It sounded like they paid to get an ADR session for Richard Roundtree and nobody else
I think any one of the boyz could and should pull off a camo outfit. I feel strongly enough about this to wade into the comments.
The bartender talking about "Groovy boobs" reminded me of a line from a previous episode I can't place: "She had the *coolest* tits."
Sam Greenlee is the guy who wrote The Spook Who Sat By the Door, the screenplay and the book it was based on. I met him like ten years ago while working at a farmers market in chicago. He was cool as fuck, the film still wasn’t distributed anywhere after years of being suppressed by the FBI and he was selling burned dvd copies for 20$ i bought one and he talked to me and showed me way more respect than I deserved as a snot nosed, white, twenty something, punk kid. I was such an immature mess in fact that I let the expensive and impossibly cool bootleg get destroyed in my bag on my way home. I was afraid I’d never see the guy again, or worse I would and I’d have to admit that I never got to see the film. The next Saturday he was back at the market, he asked me what I thought of his movie and I was so embarrassed and flustered I just blurted out like “I fucked it up on my way home I’ll buy it again I’m sorry” or something. He told me not to sweat it and gave me a replacement copy no charge. The film is amazing and walks a fine line between entertainment and a manual for actual revolution. He passed away in 2014. sorry for the long ass story but meeting Sam Greenlee was one of the cooler things to happen to me, he’s worth a google, chicago legend and Illinois poet laureate ✌️🤙👍✊ Rodgers is a true film buff for knowing that one, p.s. starship troopers episode sucked cuz it wasn’t long enough and didn’t have enough hit man talk
Don't forget, Summer Solsticespresso right around the corner June 20th.
I work on Canal Street. It’s disgusting. I buy my roasted peanuts by a guy on the corner of Canal and Mercer.
‘Grogan, Ronin & Hawke’ sounds like the law firm that the ABZ have on retainer.
Laurence Fishburne played Bumpy Johnson in a movie called Hoodlum.

The Liam Neeson Story
At the end of the movie Neeson unzips his pants and the entire ending credits are on his shaft.
Jesus. I started barring up with that grogan asmr.
This whole soundtrack slaps, obviously, but the song that plays during the Café Regio's scene was on one of the first funk compilations I ever bought 25 years ago and I've always loved it. Never realized it's from this movie. It's also super muted during the movie, probably for dialogue reasons, so do yourself a favor and listen to it in its full glory next time you have some mornin' expresso. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaM22GNrqA4
This sounds like a very nice song to play Scrabble to
What's the over-under on The Boyz making it past the theme song? 75 minutes?
My gut says under, my brain says over.
In a parallel universe, there's a Shaft movie with Charles Bronson as Shaft.
...and the theme song is performed by Chris Isaac.
Glad Shaft is here, I pray for Dolomite. Watched both of these with my dad all the time.
"Close it yourself, Shitty! Ha!"
