Great ep! Glad to see scared-sauna-man return.
Stanger predicting SAG + WGA strikes 3 years early. Me commenting 3 years late.
Oh hell yeah
Thanks for this ep. It scratched an itch that I haven’t been able to get at since college lit classes. Hope the boyz get around to East of Eden soon.
Is this a book or a movie?
They cover both films and the book
This was so fucking good
If they want to continue doing "books that make you depressed that have been turned into movies", Flowers for Algernon would be a great choice.
I just went full shadow wolf for this episode. Fu-kin-stoked.
Context: recently got married and read all the legal stuff on the documentation. In Scottish Law if you have lived under the same roof as step-brother and step-sister, so not blood relatives but living under a roof before adulthood 18 (even though 16 is the age of consent), then it is considered incest. Therefore a Scottish version of Clueless would not fly! 🤯
Lol took me 3 mins to fined the snl sketch
and 0 minutes to misspell find
The Ted Lasso adverts went viral in the U.K. for how American commentary/Sports culture is so alien to football.
Excellent episode. What were the 30 Rock Black-face episodes? One of my favourite episodes is the one with the running joke about the “Blacks”, as in the family name. “Poor swimmers...”.
In the first live episodes (2006ish) Jon Ham does blackface. He and Tracy Morgan are in a sketch on a honeymooners type set where Tracy is a respectable actor of distinguish in contrast with Hamms old world portrayal of black people as stupid goobers. It is, ironically, a sketch built around condemnation/criticism of blackface, but now Jon Hamm is one of the last celebrities to ever do blackface on tv
Welp that settles it, if I'm ever a government/industry informant to the press I will use the codename: "White Sajak".
When you were speaking on porn with plots all I could think of was this all gas no brakes porn that he wrote https://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=ph5e475dd297609

How come Septorts starts on Sept 14? We’re being robbed of a week of Septorts!
With the new format, I'm certain some of my childhood relics will become relevant again. I'm thinking specifically of you novelization of Hard Target and Pope John Paul II comicbook.
When I was five years old, our family dog had a litter of about six puppies, and I was dunking their heads one by one into white paint to "wash" them and was then putting them up on a windowsill to let them "dry". I had "cleaned" three of them by the time my mum found me and two of those were able to be saved, but one of them had rolled off of the windowsill and either died on impact or suffocated from the paint.
Seems like this would've been better revealed to somebody with a board certification, rather than a message board rotten with quim and cum jokes.
I loved this episode, so funny
"Septorts" should be reserved for movies about medical malpractice, like The Verdict, Malice, and Side Effects
This is the kind of content I’m here for
Is it necessary to watch the movie for this new format? Or is it different from ABZ and it won't matter.
Won’t matter
Y'know, when you all are talking about how people should just preface old TV shows and stuff that has questionable material by today's standards... I wholeheartedly agree. Warner Bros. did this with the release of the Platinum Looney Tunes DVD series. It's the (as far as I know) only COMPLETE, UNCENSORED releases of the original Looney Tunes, and at the start of each DVD Whoopi Goldberg comes on screen and is like, "Listen, these were made back when this kinda shit could fly. We know it's bad, but we want to present the original shorts, warts 'n' all." Anyway, it's great because it provides context while still giving you the original piece of work. (I actually think that super racist, anti-Japanese WWII propaganda short with Bugs Bunny may not be on the DVDs, but there's still plenty of other stuff that is definitely eyebrow-raising.) ANYWAY. Really enjoyed the new format.
Whoopi's take on the topic is one I really appreciate. In the Apu documentary she shows off her collection of minstrel memorabilia, she goes out of her way to preserve these things because she thinks it's important that people know how POC were portrayed and dehumanized for laughs. Meanwhile Tina Fey just REALLY wants to be able to say the n-word with John Hamm.
Bill Ripken had the Fuck Face card, fyi.
Damn the Judgment Night error really opened the floodgates. The Stanger bullying is back in full force.
New format is excellent, great episode. Thanks action boyz
Here's the SNL Of Mice and Men sketch for anyone interested. Youtube keeps blocking it - https://drive.google.com/file/d/11Tc3oS7nOjvqcF0-4PYgHO3-rmm1iwxO/view
Wow thanks!
If people are curious about that Q Anon Instagram guy: @justindlovato
I like my formats loose and my ppe tight.
The Batman trailer. THOUGHTS? Edit - answered
I love Raising Cain, and the theatrical cut is wild but on the latest Blu-Ray is a Directors Cut that changes things dramatically by moving a few scenes around
The rollar coaster ride i went on thinking this post was about chicken. man
Never read this before! This is excellent!!!
So happy that they still open with a reading from Shadow Wolves
anyone make a deepfake of the white/sajak porno yet?
This format is sooo much better. Ya
I saw the Vanna-Jack '89 tape ripped from VHS and posted on limewire back in the day. I immediately downloaded it only to find out the file was actually just the music video for virtual insanity by Jamiroquai. I know it's out there though, the search continues.
“Septorts” double validates the money I give the abz
Action Boyz for the love of God PLEASE do some Friedkin for this new Shadow Wolves if you don’t think he fits for the main feed!!!
I fully expect to see Friedkin in the main feed with Blue Chips for Septorts. Slap Shot would be a good opportunity to do a Newman movie. Burt Reynolds’ The Longest Yard, Major League and Bull Durham seem like obvious choices as well
Serious question: are they watching Bulletproof (1996) with Damon Wayans & Adam Sandler, or Bulletproof (1988) with Gary Busey?
shit.
Joey Gorp here. Long time shadow wolf, 1st time poster. What's with the guyz' obsession with krasinski? Jealous much? Thoughts?
Probably because he's a 6 foot 4 and 200 pounds of muscle, and Navy Seal and weapon trained
I had never heard of a slow feed dog food bowl until Ben mentioned them on a recent episode. It works great and now my 9 year old dog doesn’t bloat herself every other day
I studied Of Mice and Men in high school but I think the insights from the Action Boyz will be a far more worthwhile educational experience.
This is one of those things that as a foreigner you probably haven't see but are still aware of through pop culture osmosis. Learning that audiobook is shorter than a bunch of podcasts I listen to regularly finally got me to check it out.
