True Lies (1994)
TRUE LIES is the kinda movie that makes you want to stand up and beg for buttermilk. Happy New Year

Ryan is the best listener 🥺
I was born in 88 - I remember watching this movie and seeing JLC and realizing boobs were good
How I miss this? 3+ hrs too… 👍🏼
Hell yeah
'Arnold want me to clean his house' - Gabrus, line of the year
Stanger definitely told that Reservoir Dogs story before.. but I'm pretty sure he omitted that small detail that he was the stripper. lol
Holy shit, Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken. Gotta be the first thing that put G. Anwar on my pre-pubescent radar.
Gabrus had me crying with the “great G.I. tract too” line
The SNES True Lies game kicked so much ass
This movie was on a streaming service this past weekend (don’t recall which [was/am stoned]) and now I can’t find it anywhere. It’s not even available to rent from Apple TV. Any idea what’s going on with that? Put up and taken down all upon the release of this episode. Make this make sense.
First R-rated movie I saw in theaters. I was 11. Imprinted in my mind forever since then. Totally loved it.
My mom would park the car in the FIRE LANE of the supermarket and leave us while she ran in
The Bonaventure Hotel where the elevator scene happens actually has a placard next to the specific elevator. I used to stay there pretty regularly, and definitely took a picture at some point. The elevators there were also used for Action Boyz movie, ‘In The Line Of Fire’.
Morgan freeman VO: “And after his raunchy stripclub stories and reprehensible sex show journeys it turned out that the real sex worker was Stanger all along”
As a kid this was my intro to Tom Arnold and it set such a high bar that his career couldn’t really live up to.
Not a fan of Big Bully?
Drove down to Key West with my girlfriend for spring break in 2002. We passed the missing section of 7 Mile Bridge used for the limo scene and I was so excited to spot it. She could not have been less interested. Good times.
I fucking lost it at “ you guys seen anything cool at a fair? One time I saw Roy Hobbs strike out the whammer.”
age checks out
I didn't like Avatar at all. My friends and I went drunk to the movie and laughed the entire time at how bad it was.
Any time the Amy voice comes out we’re doing great
Fuck, why did I comment before hearing stanger was a stripper! It makes perfect sense
Man legit cried a little thinking about how great Paxton was in the test drive scene.
Texan here : I consulted my boot expert and they agree that you guys could definitely pull off cowboy boots. The key is reasonably tight jeans so Stanger is most of the way there
The last great Arnold action movie. Make no mistake; we will never see something like this from Arnold again. Never.
Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken stars Gabrielle Anwar, the titular smelly woman from Scent of a Woman. Makes you wonder if the Boyz have worked out some kind of payola deal with her publicist.
Just realized that I saw this and SPEED as a double feature at summer camp. Fuck
Yo Actiondogs, is that Bosch playing the sexophone at 36:18
I'm not outright saying they should do this, but if they update the theme song tag at the end from "Showtime!" to "I got a little dick, it's pathetic!", well I wouldn't mind
If Krycheck doesn't listen to the podcast, how did he even get involved?
I think they meant he doesn’t get to listen early so he’s not going to do it after listening to the episode, but will see it while watching and make the video himself before knowing they even mentioned it.
Rodgers mentioned the LOOK of Tenet being a great looking movie. Like Nolan, the same can be said about Cameron, b/c aside from the cars/clothing, the LOOK of this movie is fantastic.
Also, surveillance on their ex-wives or girlfriends. I’d say that the movie tells us that that type of shit IS wrong.
If you think the interrogation is fucked up(it is). Remember when we found out that the NSA and other 3 letter agencies were found to have... Spied on spouses, enemies, strangers. Blackmailed or extorted compliance by illegally setting up collection or surveillance details on citizens... etc
I got a little dick it’s pathetic
The connections of how Stanger knew where to go to get recruits laid is starting to come into focus.
A double feature of Stangers Cal highlight tape. Followed by some solid VHS quality footage of him dancing at a Sacramento bachelorette party.
I love that Lt. Colonel Frank Slade has become such a character on the podcast. The other day, I explained to my wife the plot of Scent of a Woman just so I could describe the grenade/dinner scene so I could then describe the Captain America bit Stanger did. So anyway I guess I'll be divorced soon.
Yesterday I tried to explain to my wife why the idea of Arnie saying "fruitcake" in the manner of "sleazy" from Total Recall had me laughing. Divorce also imminent.
Stanger's your private dancer, a dancer for money He'll do what you want him to do Stanger's your private dancer, a dancer for money And any old music will do
Not to be that psycho that’s heard every episode atleast 10 times, but Stanger told that reservoir dogs story in a very early episode where the boys talk about first QT experiences. He definitely told a slightly different story where he was 18 hooking up with an older chick and left out being stood up or the being a stripper part.
I'm glad you avoided being that psycho.
Also that horse diving movie is etched in my brain. Watched in school for some reason. Not sure if we read the book or if was just shown to us for a "follow your dreams and don't listen to the haters" lesson that gave the teacher a break from us monsters.
haha the movie shit teachers shoehorn into class was great. We had this big yearlong American Studies class with two teachers, the youngest hottest teachers in school, a lady and dude like 29 or 30.. the dude teacher would move onto to intern as a football coach at WSU and sleep with at least one of his former students :( anyway they showed us Rocky 4 to teach us about the cold war and Godfather 2 to teach us about immigration.. maybe a scene from Red Dawn too. Dude had a Harley Davidson and The Marlboro Man poster up next to the whiteboard
Haven't fully watched since renting it with family. Have always remembered my family having to fast forward the strip scene. All these years I thought that was over reaction, like guys it was Jamie Lee Curtis and it was a dark lit scene we over reacted. Watching now and I'm like "she's in a thong!" Yea parents were right to fast forward for my 7 year old brain. Though I think the damage was done even with the fast forward.
Reminds me "scrote" was big in 90's mainstream movies/tv. Paxton's test drive with Arny he's like "if you really wanna close that scrote.." which is weird phrasing ..Wayne would always call Kevin Scrote on the Wonder Years. I think there's a line in BTTF2 where Biff or one of his goons is like "whats the matter McFly, got no scrote?" Definitely heard it a lot before I knew what it was.. what even is scrote
Gabrus: Tenet is way more boring than True Lies. Hell yeah! I couldn’t agree more. 👏🏽. Loving all the shade being thrown at Tenet.
I feel like I don’t need to see Tenet since I already saw Inception a decade ago. I’ll never be convinced they’re not the same movie.
When Jon says Arnold’s 6’3”, I walked passed him in a Brentwood cafe in 2004 in his Gov days. I’m 6’ and I’m taller than Arnold.
You shrink as you get older I think...and completely unscientifically that may be hastened by lifting heavy weights...?
This is good but have you considered doing True Lies (1994), it’s right in your wheelhouse
Watched it this weekend, was awesome. WTF was up w/ Paxton’s comment comparing a women’s ass to that of a 10 year old boys????
In the director’s cut, it’s explained that his character is really into hentai. So, it’s okay.
I'm weirdly having trouble watching this. Can't rent it on Amazon and (at least according to JustWatch) it isn't streaming elsewhere. Is there some issue with rights?
It was streaming on HBO last Summer when I watched it, but looks like it's gone now. I went down a rabbit hole a few weeks ago hunting down movies that aren't available on streaming services and True Lies came up a few times (that and The Abyss) so yeah there must be some complex rights issue that keeps it from having a regular digital presence.
“I heard the working title for this was Fake News....” GOLD!
Another chapter added to the Rhino origin story.
And him trying to play it off like, 'Oh have I ever mentioned this?'.
Haven’t started it yet, but I’m guessing this is Kuffs again.
Rick is the Dogfaced Gremlin. Scott is Big Poppa Pump
Saw this and SPEED as a double at the drive-in at 9 years old. Blew my mind. (I also got to watch THE WORLD’S END at SDCC with Paxton in the audience which was extra cool cause it references the knife trick from ALIENS. RIP absolute legend.)
Spring Break 1994 Panama City Beach, Spinnakers passed out Omega Sector tshirts with the huge symbol on the back. Had that for 10 years until a girl stole it.
Yeah, okay, but do True Lies next.
I'm surprised they have even heard of this little gem
