Firewalker (1986)
We’re in the big time now Babyz. FIREWALKER might be the best film we’ve ever covered that’s why this is the longest episode we’ve ever put out. Nothing shorter would suffice.

Hell yeah
Stanger hitting the E-40 deep cut is all the proof you need of his NorCal bona fides.
I had no memory of this movie until they mentioned the staked out with the Perrier. And it all came flooding back.
‘It’s like learning to do karate from watching movies; it’s not going to help you in a street fight’- Gabrus on porn. Absolutely lost it. Bravo, Jonny.
I love my mean dominatrix.
First comment, but not aware if the boys have ever heard of the verhoeven/jan de bont/ hauer classic flesh+blood. Great medieval action flick big recommend for every action nut!
I wish that they would whistle more, or maybe clap sometimes... Just to spice it up a little.
I'm still shaken by gabrus putting mayo on rice cakes
The Ronin line was everything
Tenet is a palindrome. That was a damn good movie. After a couple viewings
Rodgers getting on Stanger’s case about always bringing up ghosts—hilarious! 👻😂
I've listened to 20 episodes and don't understand it. Looking forward to next episode.
KING OF NEW YORK IS LEAVING PRIME IN TWO DAYS
one time back when Netflix was new I got rid of a handful of dvd's of movies on Netflix cuz I figured I would never need them again
Ha I was wondering if they remembered Jekyll and Hydes in NYC. The bathroom door that was hidden in a bookshelf was a nice touch. Don't forget about the Jekyll and Hyde haunted car that would drive around town.
I have to admit that the E Pluribus Unum joke when Chuck blessed the solider was pretty fucking funny lol. Made me laugh out loud.
A four-hour ABZ episode that same week that Shadow Wolves drops is like a late Christmas present.
I have one of those car battery jumper/ tire pump devices in my car. One time I was giving my parents a ride from a parking lot, I was moving it from my backseat to my trunk to make room for my parents and my dad asked what it was, and at that moment, a guy, that was just walking by randomly, says "everyone's gotta have one". And then he just continue on, and walked away.
My dad bought me one last year for Xmas. It's an absolute necessity!
Hearing Red, Red Wine as the inciting incident of Chet Hanks is great, but bringing in Colin with the stepmom angle in why I'm a listener with an unhealthy parasocial relationship.
Re: Jekyll and Hyde. I thought the book was cool as a kid, worth reading it’s pretty short. stevenson was reportedly coked out when he wrote it and if Im remembering correctly at one point Hyde kills someone by jumping up and down on their head? Haven’t seen the Tracy version, but the John Barrymore and Frederic march versions are great
I watched the Tracy version a few years back. It's not bad.
Regarding Amazon reviews, my sister gets paid/free stuff to review things on there. It’s insane. There are services where they will send you the money to buy the thing, you buy it on your account and you leave it a review and it gets that “verified buyer” label so you can’t trust any of those online reviews. So then I gotta join some forum group just to figure out if this posture pad is actually memory foam. Jesus
52 minutes in and I’m on the edge of my seat hoping we make it to an hour before bot/gorgon shows up.
The Stone Club could have been Ben's Tower Records documentary.
Rodgers telling the story of gAbrus and stanger was VERY moving
I got those cardboard books of Lifesavers every single Christmas for twenty years.
Yes I got the Life Savers book in my Christmas stocking every year.
Damn after the train LGJ was chugging that Jim Beam like a Coca Cola ad.
Stanger telling the childhood experience of seeing red milf bush while eating a rice cake is the kind of insight I’m looking for in therapy
this should be the log line for the podcast
It’s probably been mentioned but hearing Ben’s New York apartment stories was great
Yeah. Would love to hear all the stories from the other comedians that were there too
it’s funny to hear the guys have Action Boyz Listeners-level meltdowns about HBO streaming movies. boomer shaking fist at clouds meme
This is a very good take, if you're Jeff Bezos, Ted Sarandos or Ann Sarnoff. Champions of the everyperson.
The Rundown is a fun version of this kind of movie. The main trio is really good, Stifler especially. He’s everything you need in that kind of supporting role. Jake Johnson would be good too. I recently rewatched Blow Out and Dennis Franz playing the sleaze made me think of him. Could have a Young Sipowicz show.
The Rundown freaking rules
Lol the action boys get so viscerally agitated with people they’ve made up in their heads
Tibor
This movie really highlights how terrible of an actor Chuck Norris is. Cringeworthy at every turn 😬
This is a full Shadow Wolves episode inside a regular episode.
The wolves threw it back.
Fuck Gabrus, it’s ok to have an option my guy. Stop back peddling for these pretty boys!! 😡
*opinion
Jeez. We get it Rogers, you have a girlfriend.
Non digital gifts are still great! My father in law bought me 9 throwing knives. He just kept handing me knife shaped packages! But I got to teach my nephews and nieces how to throw em.
They ran this movie to death in the 90’s on TBS/USA
how tf did i miss it then?
I fell asleep last night while watching it and I don't know if what I remember was real or a dream
I know its a lot less popular but I love the sequel to this movie a lot more...WaterSwimmer.
Wow who knew the 4 hour mark was attainable
Satie!
Fucking fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck.
What a fucking blessing. We love you so much Action Boyz and this has been an awful year, but your show has been a highlight every single week.
