Shadow Wolves November 2020
Well wolves, it is time to get out the juggling grenades. The Boyz threaded the needle of a Thanksgiving themed, ABz adjacent film this year.

I know this comment is 4 years too late and likely won’t be seen, but I think when Rodgers was thinking of the leg shaving image for the Bruce Ward autobiography it’s because he was thinking of the cover to Rick Veitch’s Bratpack, that was a very sexed up satire of the idea of superhero sidekicks.
Hell yeah
Re: Jazz and Red Hots. I got into Jazz about 10 years ago and obviously there are some albums like Kind of Blue where everyone should start but some of my favorites are - Mingus ah um - Time out brubeck - Someday my prince will come - Green street - The swinging guitar of tal farlow - Sketches of Spain - Wes Montgomery Trio I’ll have to pick up the Flea biography. I read Scar Tissue, the Kiedis biography, and it covered his early life which was messed up through the modern era of the red hots. It was a fine read and really goes to show you that success is sometimes just being extremely lucky (eg-being Fleas friend).
Guy with 65 year old dad who listens - we went on some road trips around Australia and he drove me around the East Coast when I was in the US for Christmas and listened to a lot of the pod. His favorite bit is all the Trump impressions.
The Clone Wars is essential viewing if you’re a Star Wars fan. It connects some major dots the prequels fail to connect. I had the same feeling as Rodgers for the first few episodes but I eventually got hooked in. Importantly, the animation and overall aesthetic improve greatly as the show progresses
Came here to say this. Stick through the early episodes or just skip to season 3. The animation does improve over the seasons as well. Rebels rules as well.
I’m liking the idea of prep school movies. “Taps” would be a good one.
The other books in the lonesome dove series are pretty good but don’t really compare to the peaks lonesome dove has. They are definitely bleaker too.
Wow, didn't expect there'd be some Secret Life of Plants talk in this episode. I gave a vinyl of that soundtrack to my screenwriting professor in college. One of the only vinyls I'd ever seen that had braille imprinted into the sleeve. Unrelated, but that same professor later got a bout of strep throat that manifested into a form of necrosis and had to get all four of his limbs amputated. All of this to say if you ever get strep throat, keep an eye on it. Shit can turn dire very quickly apparently
Stanger, I accused you of having a problem with curly hair, because you've made fun of James Caan and Michael Rooker and the guy from one of last year's ninja movies. Glad to hear you like it, looking forward to your curly perm at the next live show.
Have the boyz seen Mortal Kombat now has Rambo and Robo cop in it? https://youtu.be/RXlDBE23l6U. Makes me hopeful Paul Kersey will be in the next one.
Since the Boyz appreciate Joe Bob Briggs and Paul Thomas Anderson, I just wanted to point out that PTA's dad is the original horror host, Ghoulardi - a fact that blew my mind when I learned it.
I’ll pay the highest tier Patreon for a podcast where Stanger is just inquisitive about fried chicken.
With Stanger and Gabrus on O’Donnell. Kavanaugh was a prep school kid and while he’s probably decently smart, I don’t see him as an exceptional or impressive person.
Because you haven’t seen him bench
I was in the army. Hooah is army. Hoorah is marines👍
Former Marine and yeah the “oohrah” was never explained that i can remember. It was always just used as sort of braveheart style battle cry for motivation. I remember seeing someone get screamed at for shortening it to “err devil” instead of “oohrah devil dog”. And that’s the extent of my oorah knowledge.
As a fellow devil, I never knew where OORAH came from either, We just said it. When Rodgers said HOOAH was an acronym I was blown away! Reminds me of an old joke we used to yell to piss off soldiers whenever we where in an army base, "How do you say OORAH with a dick in your mouth? HOOAH!"!! Pretty homophobic considering all the homo-erotic shit we always did to clown on each other
A couple years ago, my local MARKET started playing advertisements between music, one of which was Burt Ward hawking his brand of dog food. The gist of the ad was "my dogs are super old, and yours can live longer too if you buy my food!" It definitely steered a little too close into 'celery juice' territory with its claims.
The video of Ludwig Goransson talking about his score for The Mandalorian... https://youtu.be/aQIcZbzr9Wk
Bogdanovich does have a podcast exactly like the boys are talking about https://theplotthickens.tcm.com/
The best part of Alone is season one when the “wilderness expert” cop leaves after the first day because he saw a bear.
Is it an essential watch, or will a vague 20+ year recollection be fine? Asking for Dr. Runtime
I watched it before the episode and really enjoyed it.
Jon's observation about 'if I had to go to Thanksgiving this year with my family, it would have turned into the scene with the nephew' is so fucking spot on.
Please, please don't do 'Sleepers' on Shadow Wolves! That movie is fucked.
I don't know if it's exactly what Stanger was talking about but as a youngster i rented a porn called cream philled phatties at a hotel. I remember at the time thinking it was weird because there were no creampies, despite the name.
in the Air Force it was like a dumbass call and response thing like we'd be getting a speech from the commander and he'd go 'HOO-AH?' and you have to go 'HOO-AH!'. I asked an Army dude about it and he said the HUA acronym was bullshit, who knows?
"I want a table for two and I don't mean Siberia" was always a fun line to drop on the maître d'. We used to make reservations over the phone before OpenTable; little intel for the young listeners out there.
I forgot it was Shadow Wolves day! FUCK YEAH!
Former Navy and this is just my take. The Navy uses Hoo-yah but really didn’t hear it much outside of boot camp. Marines use Oorah and you’ll hear Jamie Foxx use it in Jarhead. Hooah is Army and you’ll hear Hartnett and others use it as army rangers in Blackhawk Down. I think Army/Marines take the most pride in it. I left out Air Force because I don’t know and nobody cares about them.
yeah the only people that used it outside of basic were dumbshits, same type to get like their rank tattooed on their arm
As an active duty JAV, Mosaic blurs both the P and the V...and the A.
Thanks for the intervention Boyz, you’ve got me: Lockdown Cabin Fever + family and friends literally running out of conversation have me on here looking for any new chat.😊 Will have a break until Christmas, by which time I’ll have taken up and discarded at least three new hobbies and had my ADHD meds doubled. 🤦🏻♂️
You have risen to the rank of Bloodflart, be careful you do not enter FilmFan territory!
What's the movie?
