U.S. Marshals (1998)
Oh hell yeah! It’s U.S. MARSHALS time. Why was this made? It doesn’t really work, there are a lot of ways it could be better and yet... it falls under the “we didn’t know what had when we had it” category. This is what a miss used to be in the action world! Rest assured the Boyz point out it’s flaws and celebrate its triumphs in their classy above brow way. Is this the quintessential Chicago/New York movie? Listen to find out!

Hell yeah
it's silly to get hung up on, but of the ABZ movies where someone gets on top of a train in Chicago (Next of Kin, Code of Silence), I think this is the only one where they didn't put a fake platform on the top of the cars to make them easier to walk around on. Snipes' stunt double jumps right on to the rounded top of the train car. Love it.

Fugitive 3
hi lila
https://discord.gg/58a73qjV7b A new discord dedicated to the action Boyz.
“Every woman should have a LBD”
I think the kind of jacket the boyz are talking about is a Coach's Jacket. I would rock a navy blue with "ABZ" big and bold on the back coach's jacket
The larger cab for the tractor trailer is a sleeper unit. Normal thing for over the road truckers. Can have a full size or larger bed and a bunch if amenities. SOURCE: Am in logistics.
Correct. Truck driver here. Sleeper cab. 28 yrs old.
Should have called this movie 2 Fast 2 Fugitive
I heard from a sauna guy that the actor who plays Newman was the guy also the guy in Under Siege who after Ryback says he hears gunshots and the solider calls up and is told its party poppers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwnnarFw_T8
When you talked about pace picante sauce it reminded me of this commercial where they actually suggested lynching a guy for serving the wrong brand of salsa. https://youtu.be/mX2AyjVrrck
As a real 'movie buff' I can't help but point out that the French actress in this, Irene Jacob, starred in two of the very best movies ever: 'Red' and 'The Double Life of Veronique.' Even if you're not into arty foreign movies, the director, Kieslowski, is not exactly shy about what a beauty she is.
Honestly was expecting like 10-15 more truck driver replies
On the Kansas talk, when you are in Western NY, Classic rock is on every other station and every establishment you go into has it playing. It’s the soundtrack of WNY. So I think this attacked Rodgers’ subconscious.
Stanger’s Bill Paxton is way too perfect, and I cannot explain how happy it would make me if the boys did a shadow wolves about the movie Ghosts of the Abyss which is literally just a documentary where Bill Paxton and James Cameron hang out together in submarines. Oh, and no spoilers, but there is a perfect action boyz moment where you see Paxton get to be the very first the tell Cameron some big world news.
This is hands down their best episode
Robert e. Howard’s fucking great! His early stories aren’t that impressive, but his writing improved a ton over a pretty short time. (If anyone cares) The people of the black circle is a good one to start with.
Re. December 1963 (Oh, What A Night): had always wondered why this came back, and it was a remix from 1988 that somehow became a hit in 1993. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/December,_1963_(Oh,_What_a_Night)#Ben_Liebrand_remix
Help an ignoramus out- Who are they talking about at 51:00, with the weird political views and gym set up Instagram ? They are doing Yoda impersonation and I am missing transition. Thanks
Can Rogers elaborate on the baby eating?
"worth watching it is, hmmn"
I love Goldsmith’s score in this and it is almost identical to his score for Extreme Prejudice
I’d guess there’s as many truckers as janitors. I drive truck and listen to 10 hrs of podcasts per day. That’s a common “sleeper” truck meant for a team. There’s bunks in the back. That way one driver can sleep while they’re traveling, basically keeping the truck moving constantly.
I believe you are a real truck driver because you used the phrase "I drive truck" - verbiage only truckers use.
I will pay for an extra tier where Stanger fake laughs at my jokes
The movie the Fugitive was based on the 1960s TV show, also called The Fugitive. Dr. Richard Kimball is the protagonist of both. But listening to you all struggle through man hunter was cool
ABZ is perfect entertainment ! If I had one critique, it would be...nothing. That’s what perfect means. And if I did have a critique, I’d keep it to myself and not feel compelled to share. Thx guys!
Please do an episode on The Conversation!
I’m the 25 year old. Also, for how long y’all’s episodes are, the library has gotten me across the country like 7 times over.
I have to imagine there are truck drivers who are ABZ fans... truckers are basically the janitors of the road, afterall.
Rodgers was spot on about seeing movies stoned during the Ninja III episode. My friend and I got ripped before going into US Marshalls and we walked out saying “Shit man, that was a pretty awesome movie.”
Righteousness is definitely a character in this movie.
God. Between the action boyz and whm I’ve got more dirty yoda content than ever before.
Hunted has a top ten car chase.
Y'all fuck with Firewalker? Chuck Norris, Lou Gossett Jr, found it on Prime last night, only watched the first scene before bed, noticed Sonny Landham credited.. getting my hopes up
get them real sky high

You wouldn't be asking,,, Who's Gore? If the Bush family hadn't stolen the 2000 election. Fuck Jeb
To complete the 80’s Chicago action movie card, gotta talk about Running Scared
I found it interesting that the Boyz described the Conroy brothers as “wrestler looking guys” considering that during the scene the TV is playing WCW Spring Stampede 1997. The match is the main event, a no DQ match between Diamond Dallas Page and Macho Man Randy Savage. The announcers are Tony Schiavone and Dusty Rhodes. The Match aired on Sunday, April 6, 1997. The feud between DDP and Macho Man would go on to win “Feud of the Year” in the 1997 Wrestling Observer Newsletter Awards. These guys really need a wrestling guy.
I was real bummed that we didn't even get a shout out for that sweet sweet late 90s WCW action
Make the ABZ wind breaker or else I'm gonna have to make my own and sell it bootleg out the back of a van
It's pretty much impossible to walk normally in one of those mascot costumes
Did they forget that they did a Manhunter episode?
Not a single St Patrick’s Day parade, in the whole fucking movie.
Suck Fuck Nut Bust Get it Feel it Nibble it Pinch a tit Pinch a nip Though shalt not pop until the other says “Oh my god I’m about to cum”
I’m from the house of “Honk a tit” and I find your beliefs blasphemous
I was randomly singing that ween song "where'd the mothafuckin cheese go" yesterday for the first time in maybe a decade? Super strange Rodgers brought that up! https://youtu.be/s492PMdIaJs
I remember renting this as a kid only because I knew Tommy Lee Jone’s character and I have the same first and last name. So I’m excited to hear the Action Boyz hopefully say my name a bunch during this episode. It’ll be like they’re talking to me!
So they’d be doing bits as... the director?
Gabrus didn’t know Ray Jackson was Ogre from nerds... basic janitors know that shit
I listened to the US Marshals episode to find out what Stanger thinks of the band Kansas
Main thing I discovered watching this is that Eagleheart completely ruined my ability to take any character who works for the U.S. Marshals seriously. Also I just kinda felt bad for Joey Pants by the end of this. This movie has nothing like that scene in Fugitive where the one guy in TLJ's crew talks to him about fucking up his ability to hear in the standoff with Copeland. It's all just weak banter for two hours, and most of it is at Joey Pants' expense. Just stop shitting on the guy for 5 seconds.
The whole thing needs a wood chipper
