On the bus to seeing Jaws at the local indie theater. Always great to catch an actionboyz flick on the big screen.
Hell yeah
The K5s back in the day had a removable hard top. All those trucks of that era- first gen 4Runner, k5, ramcharger, bronco- the 70’s and early 80’s were a golden age for convertible trucks. Another notable K5 with the top off is in Midnight Run.
No NC
Just signed up for Action Boyz after listening to a few of the free episodes and I've gotta say, not super impressed so far. There's gotta be like a solid 10 minutes of just dead air or the sound of someone chuckling. Not to mention the tangents. Like I found my way to ABZ from What a Time to be Alive, so I'm no stranger to a tangent. However these guys take it to another level. It's really hard to stay interested when every 5 minutes they make a 3 minute joke about Turner and Hooch. I dunno, maybe I was just so impressed with the free episodes that I am expecting too much from the premium but if they're all like this then it might not be for me. 🤷♂️
The cold open roast - holy shiiiiiiiiiiit.
Where was Stangerbot on Wednesday? Lake Piru is pretty close to Val Verde...
Not enough DAR! 5 Stars
You guys hear in the sauna about the lady of the dunes? Has a Stephen King connection via his son. Interesting story, and I’m a interesting story buff.
The Stephen King accents/words made laugh almost as much as Water Ape.
As an authentic Maine resident, I'll say that they weren't too far off.
Love they’re at the stage in life (myself included!) where you watch TV or a movie and you start talking about how nice the houses are, what they’re worth, quality of life, etc 😅.
A classic action boys podcast! A++
Watched with my dad when I was young and I remember him pointing out the spit in your goggles antifog method. Always used to do that when I swam as a kid and felt cool as fuck.
I can't believe I've listened to 2 1/2 hours and there's still an hour left. Loving it so far.
honestly thought I'd heard it all about Jaws, but Roger's enthusiasm and knowledge made this a great listen. Good one Action Boyz!
I think we’re gonna need a bigger book!!
When Stanger started screeching during the Water Ape bit, I started cry laughing while trying to drive on the the highway. Thanks Boyz.
Jaws is my father’s number one movie, fell asleep to it nearly everyday for 20 years (he slept on the couch obviously) and wore out 3 vhs copies. He chartered with Frank Mundus out of Montauk in the 80s (he’s the supposed basis for Quint). My dad had an important customer on one time and as he lost a fish, Frank screamed at him and called him a stupid cocksucker. My dad also reminded us every time that crushing beer cans in the 70s was an impressive action.
Every episode reveals another piece of the rodgers puzzle
The 'not self destructive enough' joke he blew by was so funny, just the timing of it
This is my second blu-ray related comment this episode but pass up a chance to talk Orca. It just came out on blu-ray last week!!! Looks great. That movie gets shit but there’s some amazing whale footage in there. And the cast is a fun list of recognizable faces too
Orca or Jaws 4K...decisions, decisions...
I heard that the state of Kentucky requires any textbooks that discuss the Water Ape Theory to have a sticker on the front that says "what even is this!?"
Schilndlers List is the Spielberg movie with the most nudity. Not at all sexy though.
Why not
The water-ape shit broke me. Fucking tears.
They skipped over it in the episode, but the bit where his kid is doing an impression of Brody before Hooper shows up for dinner is one of those perfect little Spielberg kid moments that for some reason makes me tear up a bit every time I rewatch this.
Got big time roasted by the boyz. It was well deserved. I bow my head in shame. Lesson learned.
Saw this again a couple weeks ago and man, I'd forgotten everything about this movie. To me, Quint is full-on panicking in the end. He's humming to himself to keep calm, and he's experiencing full on ptsd. Oscar stuff throughout and this is another subtle example.
I've never read the book, but the biggest differences I've always heard about are - Hooper is the younger brother of one of Ellen Brody's old boyfriends, and the two have an affair that adds to the tension when they're out on the Orca. He later gets eaten for his sins. - lots of class issues with the rich people on the island (which Ellen used to be a part of) - the mayor is buying beachfront property for the mob or something
Can we get a water ape tier that’s just an expert guest answering stangers rambling questions
Gabrus: “Human is the real monster” Janitor: “Actually the doctors the human”
The line of Brody making fun of the old guy “That’s some bad hat Harry” is actually the basis of Bryan Singers production company “Bad Hat Harry” Everything in the action boyz cinematic universe is connected
Reminds me of the show House every time I hear it
This dropped right at the last few hours of my delivery route. Perfect timing boyz.
sharkin to the east sharkin to the west sharking with the quint i like the best, i been sharkin!
but guys, its late every week because corona or some nonsense.
The bee joke in Popstar is so fuckin funny, totally agree. Wish they had stuck with the original ending that was a bee callback. It’s on the blu-ray and hysterical.
Rodgers, know you’re a big Williams head, so you might already know about this podcast. But you should check out “Settling the Score” it’s hosted by two composers who go into detail about movie scores. I think they have some connections in the comedy world so you might know of them. But the Jaws episode is fascinating. Spielberg originally wanted a completely different sound, like an ambient noise and horror music aesthetic. And Williams had to convince him otherwise.
We're all reading this with the Rodgers fan-voice right? (wet inhale)
Can’t believe we didn’t get a “who would you be” rendition from Stanger early on
Stanger is definitely Brody. Got that old injury informing his life choices. Then I’d say Ben is Quint and Gabrus is Hooper cause Ben is a lone nut smashing the radio and Gabrus is a smart ass who’s going to eat your dinner.
Outside of the podcast, Rodgers treats Stanger the same way Robert Shaw treated Richard Dreyfus off camera.
My janitors closet was my tomb
(Heavy breathing fat voice) thank god action boyz. I was gonna commit seppuku with my janitor broomstick if the episode wasn’t released pronto
Everyone back in the water!
Thank GOD.
Nearly 3 and 1/2 hours? They did it, the crazy sons of bitches did it!
Many offices did not get cleaned tonight.
...and countless janitors across the galaxy cried out with great joy
Holy shit I just shot ropes upon ropes!!
WhY tHe FuCk WaS tHiS LaTe, aCtiOnBoYZ?!?! HoOwW DaArREe yOu 😅
