Shadow Wolves October 2020
American Movie. The boys go deep on a classic doc about making horror movies. Throw your uncle in the bath and give this a listen. Coven, man.

Hell yeah
Hey guys, what are the upcoming movies after In the Line of Fire?
I haven’t listened to this Shadow Wolves yet but on the regular ep they teases “computer play.” The Net maybe?
The losers doc series on Netflix has a good mini doc on curling.
Why has Stanger never been on CBB
Speaking of, I'd love for Scott to guest on ActionBoyz someday. Would also give the chance for Stanger Gorgon to audition to get on CBB
have the action boyz done the movie Blue Thunder yet? my podcast app only imported episodes up to 6 months back.
No, but i hope we get it soon since it just popped up on Prime
Another documentary recommendation: "Finders Keeper's" - a custody battle over a severed foot. well bye.
Stanger kills me. Milwaukee. My favorite kind of joke is the one you have to ask... was that SUPPOSED to be a joke. As long as it's funny.
The place on court st is Frankie’s 457. Good spot. A little pricey. Family lived above the Ace hardware at 468 court until last week.
I had my wedding shot on film so I can project it in a basement drinking scotch after my partner is inevitably murdered by the Russian mafia I use to work for.
Same here. Some nice fellow at the photo center named Francis Dolarhyde even agreed to process the film free of charge... what a guy!
Kick fuckin' ass! I got a Mastercard!
Fantastic episode. Can’t wait for Rodgers and Stanger to go on blank check.
Any guesses on the horror film that is being passed off as a comedy because it was so by the numbers? Vampires vs. The Bronx? It’s pretty broad strokes in its message but I’d definitely say the comedy was deliberate.
Wolf of Snow Hollow is pretty clearly meant to at least be funny, and I wouldn't call it by the numbers.
The Mary Poppins story was cute but I really laughed hard when Gabrus said “see mom, this is the man who molested me”. 🤣
The Kurt Russell Christmas film was fine. Hardly a rave, I know, but it’s not the disaster The ABZ are guessing it is. My nieces loved it, and though it’s instantly forgettable, it at least didn’t annoy the fuck out of me the way Elf did. 🤷🏻♂️🎅🏻
Holy shit sounds like Hollywood Masterclass is coming back
Crumb and King of Kong would be awesome on SW
There was supposed to be a King of Kong sequel and then TV series but I heard Billy Mitchell wouldn’t sign off. I tweeted this not too long ago and he replied (he wasn’t tagged) that I was misinformed. One of my favourite interactions on social media.
Am i the only one that totally hated Mark by the end of this ? First time seeing it, heard about it for years.
If the Boyz cover "Crumb" in an ep, I'd be curious to hear some supplemental thoughts on the documentary "Boiled Angels" about artist Mike Diana being convicted of obscenity.
Rodgers story about hearing other peoples auditions reminded me of how Phil Collins joined Genesis. He basically went after other people and heard the songs and the mistakes other drummers were making and was able to capitalize on it and get the gig
That's how I plan to get into the ActionBoyz. Go into the audition: "Yes, I watched the right movie. No, I don't have any opinions on the new Mary Poppins. I played some rec league football in my youth but it wasn't a big part of my life so I probably won't talk about it much." Nailed it.
Mike is the living embodiment of the urban legend about the guy that had a pocketful of acid and either fell in a pool or got caught in a storm and then thought he was a glass of orange juice for the rest of his life. But way more talented
A recent artist documentary I loved that I think you guys should watch is “Struggle: The Life and Lost Art of Szukalski” on Netflix - watch it cold
Seconded, really interesting.
The best part about Chet getting into that argument with the comedian was that in his mind he thinks telling someone with red hair "you're not a man, you're a ginger" is the most epic of burns.
Have you seen this article from AV Club where they talk to Run the Jewels about Steven Seagal, it's phenomenal. https://music.avclub.com/run-the-jewels-on-the-brutality-music-and-magic-of-st-1798274718
I was 100 percent thinking Ken Burns had a wig, but then you look back and its basically been the same way forever. I think he definitely is coloring it jet black though. That said I think The Vietnam War is definitely worth a watch as well as The Roosevelts. Specifically, the Roosevelts was one I threw on a while ago thinking "well lets see how this goes" and found myself shocking engrossed by the stories and simultaneously lamenting the idea of flawed but ultimately decent people who rise to the office while we have the hellish nightmare unfolding in the oval office right now. They're both insanely long but I cannot recommend them both enough. The Vietnam War benefits also of having a ton of archival footage and photos and one of the rare war docs where you get extensive facetime with "enemy" combatants telling their stories.
The Vietnam War soundtrack is pretty awesome too.
Every time I’ve seen American Movie, I’m always pleasantly surprised at how endearing Mark is; because, this movie paved the way for Overnight, and it’s impossible to not hate Troy Duffy.
Shrimp is low in mercury and a good source of good HDL cholesterol. It is also sustainable, just buy wild caught and not farm raised. Farm raised is bad.
Ken Burns looks like the guy in the Eagles who sings the high notes.
That’s a brilliant spot! 😃 Randy Meisner, the bloke who quit due to stress from the stage-fright from having to sing Take It To The Limit?
SHADOW WOLVES...HOOOOOOO!!!!
The action faction should check out the doc The Wolfpack
Gabrus' wedding sounds like The Warriors
Piping in to say it's fucking rough out there for Android users who're trying to date. I've gotten a bunch of women being like "Oh, let's just FaceTime" and I'm like "do you not see my green texts?"
Download Google Duo. It's the same thing as facetime but for both iOS and Android.
I had a really hard time finding this in Canada so I reached out to a friend that always seems to know where to find stuff and asked if he had American Movie. He said "oh is that the documentary about the Cannon group?" and I was like "no, but have I got a podcast recommendation for you". Anyways I still can't find this movie.
It’s one of my few (Ben’s Action Faction voice) “I’ve never even heard of this movie” moments. “Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films” used to be on a streaming service but I don’t know where now. 😕
Be Here To Love Me is a great documentary about tragic country/folk artist Townes Van Zandt
Saw Mark show Coven at the Milwaukee film festival last year. He still has the same manic presentation style when doing public speaking. He's also insanely nice and will stop and talk with anyone in the street. He's been in Joe Pera talks with you too since that films here, had a good conversation with him at that too.
All I could hear was COVID when they would mispronounce coven in this doc.
Has the Action Faction watched Knuckle? About the crazy pikey fighting families?
Tell me more! I love those call-out videos!

Im from Wisconsin, Menomonee is pronounced MEN-AH-MOE-KNEE, fyi.
They should’ve spelled it that way then! 😉 Seriously though, there’s a place outside of Glasgow (UK) which is written as Milngavie. You’d pronounce it “Miln-Gav-Eee”, right? Nope: some mad bastards long ago decided it is “Mull-Guy”! 😳
Here’s almost 40 minutes of deleted scenes from American Movie. https://youtu.be/89WH8uQrhpg
My favorite one is how excited he is about Burger King switching from Pepsi to Coke so he can get his flame-broiled Whopper AND a Coke, all in one place. I strive to be that happy about the little things in life

I've been a janitor for a long time, but finally made the jump to Shadow Wolf a couple of months ago. I'm looking forward to their views on this doc.
After listening to this weeks Dumbbells, I feel I need to speak up as it has been broached multiple times across multiple platforms: Stanger, there was only one Ultimate Warrior.
You're getting worked, bro: https://www.kayfabenews.com/everyone-knows-there-were-six-different-ultimate-warriors-but-do-you-know-who-portrayed-them/
Less than three hours? What is this, Slacktober? (Seriously though, yay, and American Movie is great)
