Shadow Wolves December 2020

offhand Jay Johnston mention exactly a week before Jan 6 is craaaazy

Hell yeah

"Every NIGHT!"

For anyone who hasn’t seen the the Ben Stiller sketch Stanger was talking about, it’s definitely one of the best on there:

Did I miss the next movie announcement?

https://youtu.be/AXM87AU3ha4?t=167 this clip from Aunty Donna reminded me of the ABZ

Tenet is not good. That is all.

relevant to the President-on-film question: https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/donald-trump-presidential-movies/2020/12/29/05fd984a-4533-11eb-b0e4-0f182923a025_story.html

So glad to finally upgrade to Shadow Wolves. There have been some months where this podcast was the only thing that could make me laugh, I really love the energy you all have. I just want to say that while Ben has always been funny, his flow is naturally hampered by his necessary role in pushing the narrative forward. However, these last few months Ben has really come into his own and has been more hilarious than ever.

Re: John David Washington, I think Blackkklansman is proof he can be every bit as commanding a screen presence as his father (no hyperbole intended). It's too bad that, with Tenet, he has a role that on the one hand grants him more exposure than he's had before, but on the other hand is written intentionally as a sort of cipher (being called "the protagonist" and so on). I hope people don't project the blankness of his character on him as an actor. I'd be interested in hearing what other people think.

Episodes have been really fun lately.

Okay, listening to this ep with the birth of the Colin/Rita discussion sheds light on the previous episode, which must have been recorded after this. There’s the whole riff on Colin creating milf porn and it seemed out of the blue, but now it makes sense!

actually yeah https://www.rodeocinema.org/merch

Any of yous have a neighborhood movie theater that’s selling merch to stay afloat? Please share, I’d buy a t-shirt. Mine is The Parkway in south Minneapolis; saw “The Thing” on 35mm in January. https://theparkwaytheater.com/parkway-gear

Glad to know my Den Mother Assignment is continuing into 2021.

Rodgers nailed me down cold, I am a Massachusetts native. I used to travel the US frequently for work before the world ended, and no one ever guessed where I was from, most people only know the "Pahk the Cah in Harhvahd Yahd" Boston bullshit accent. Already love 3 Days of the Condor, Paralax View, and Friends of Eddie Coyle, will definitely check out the other recommendations. Rolling Thunder I had never heard of and would never have found on my own, the poster alone has me onboard.

Friends of Eddie Coyle is so fucking good. One of Mitchum’s best. Also for anyone who’s from Boston it’s good Boston Porn

Between this and the 4 opus that is Firewalker, you guys really closed out the year with a bang. Thanks for all the great content.

Please, I'm not worth a bullet

Grenades are a great example of how the Army can take the fun out of anything. One of the first things they tell you is not to use your teeth on the pin because it will pull your teeth out. That’s how fucking hard you have to pull on it (while twisting). And the “correct” way to throw it is like a shotput with no wrist action because they don’t want anyone pulling a Frank Slade. You don’t even get to see the explosion (but you feel it, and it’s really fucking loud)

I’m still a fan of the commentary episodes. Definitely wouldn’t mind a repeat movie like Predator or Hard To Kill

I'm all for the Boyz revisiting the earliest movies they did before they had the format completely down in the way they wanted. You go back and look at the early episodes like Cobra and they're like 85 minutes long. No, I want 3 and a half hours of scene breakdowns and digressions on Cobra and Predator.

Who watches Joe Bob? Is it Rodgers? The first movie in the Christmas special this year was this french Rambo meets Home Alone move, little French kid thinks he's Rambo and a psychotic Santa is murdering people, it rules, came out a year before Home Alone. The American title is Deadly Games but if you have Shudder watch it with Joe Bob

Can someone please make a war on Christmas action movie?

Trump's hair has a name and it is called 'a bad comb over'. Google it. You think Trump is smart enough to invent a hairstyle.

Thanks for answering my question!

Except for Ryan.

I do NOT want to know what you freaks sound like.

That's funny, I also always circle back to eatin' cunt. I love "box lunch at the Y"

Did anyone else catch "Christmas In Connecticut" (1992) Directed by Arnold Schwarzenegger? That shit was kind of wild. It had some fun bits, but also made me feel insane

My first intimation of TLJ being a total fucking curmudgeon was The Fugitive DVD commentary track. He basically refuses to talk about the movie.

Even Borat was disturbed with Howard hugging Jamie.

Hey guys, remember how this year was going to be “20-money”?

Denis Villeneuve is the new bro director. They love him but have never bothered to watch his French-Canadian stuff.

Goddamnit

anyone else think the Tom Cruise rant was Mark Borchardt from American Movie for a minute there?

I love you, Action Boyz.

Holiday ep only 5 days after Christmas, well done Boys.
