Repo Man (1984)
Holy Harry Dean Stanton! What a gem of a movie. It all came together for REPO MAN. You disagree?? Ummm... Tracy Walter as Miller, Stanton as Bud, Esteves at the height of his powers playing Otto. It’s all there - this movie earned its cult status. Maybe you think these podcasters are fucked in the head. Well, we blame society. Society made us what we are. ACTION BOYZO MEN

Hell yeah
Repo Man is more of a vibe than a film, in a good way
Can't believe the wrestler, Repo Man, wasn't mentioned once. Who even are you, Action Boyz?
FYI - The word "Craft" in "Craft Beer" has nothing to do with what style of beer the brewery makes. It only has to do with how many barrels of beer they produced in a year. There are tons of great craft beer breweries that make lagers instead of crazy hoppy IPAs.
Alex Cox had a genre movie TV show in the UK. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoYrbUJXgXd_EZedGRsN5JTjpHu-fDeqA
I guess you guys didn't like the Hateful 8 extended version on Netflix. It's broken up into (4) 50 minute sections.
Fuck Bruce Willis, man. What’s wrong with that guy?
Yeah but what was your deleted comment?
Shadow Wolves January announcement soon lads?
FYI, the Circle Jerks played the shitty lounge band in the movie
Zander Schloss, who played Kevin and was in The Circle Jerks has had an interesting career. He collaborated with Joe Strummer on the sountrack to Walker, another Alex Cox film, and he plays in a really bad ass duo with desert legend Sean Wheeler called Sean and Zander. Their best known song is probably "Good Pussy", which totally slaps.
Uhh Gabrus, I don’t know if you or Bang have a problem with Mormons, but not all of us have a holy rod stuck up our ass. I fuckin love sex scenes, senseless violence, and all the swear words in my movies. And in my personal life.

Televangelists are definitely still going in Texas. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area there are at least two televangelist channels on local tv and there are regular conventions of televangelists and their marks in Fort Worth.
yeah man that Gemstones shit aint going anywhere. I guess channel surfing is pretty much dead for kids now but I remember watching TBN for shits and giggles cuz there was nothing else on, motherfuckers speaking in tongues, telling parents what music not to let their kids listen to, one of the albums they held up was Earth Wind & Fire ..marone
Harry Dean Stanton da gawd. Between World War II service and his filmography, getting wasted with The Replacements before they were banned from SNL is like the 17th coolest thing he’s ever done.
They talk about how old everyone looks but HDS smoked and looked the same for 50 years and lived to 100
Just stopping by to make sure nobody else is now writing a tv pilot about Adam Pally being haunted by a constipated horny ghost of John Wayne.
People really do think everyone needs to be "good" in movies and it drives me nuts. When the hangover came out I had a girl tell me the movie was terrible simply for the scene where they put the baby in the car seatbelt and that is dangerous.
Repomen at Work. Shits tight
The Killing of a Chinese Bookie is on HBO Max.
Sorry Rodgers but I respectfully disagree. I'm well passed the point of saying nothing when I see someone without a mask on (indoors). I get how it can come across as condensing, but I am 100% on the 'wear a mask please' guy's side. Edit: My bad. Thought it was indoors.
I think you missed the point Raging Dull. This was outdoors. I was holding my front door open and he was running by outside. The point was: If I, someone who wears a mask, is annoyed by that guy, imagine how someone who doesn’t wear a mask would react? They’re probably less likely to ever wear a mask. So if I tell someone fuck you, am I accomplishing anything other than making myself feel better? Probably not.
I think I've told this story on another entry so forgive me for repeating myself but I was interning at UCB back in 2013 and on Doug Loves Movies was hosted there and Harry Dean Stanton was a guest along with Paul F Tompkins and Jen Kirkman. It was not a total disaster but it was weird. It became clear Harry didn't know what the hell was going on and didn't care. Prior to the show starting his handler/publicist/someone who came with him was like "DO YOU HAVE ANY WINE? HARRY NEEDS A GLASS OF WINE!" so someone had to go buy a bottle of wine that he could drink during the show. The episode is definitely worth a listen to.
Is that the one where they play the "name a movie with Harry Dean Stanton in it or you're out"-game with him, and he can't remember half the stuff he was in? I haven't listened to DLM in ages but that was one of the last eps I heard, and it's amazing.
This soundtrack was definitely my “I think I’ll try to like punk rock” at age 12 CD, that I got off Columbia House for a penny.
Whitley Strieber, who wrote "Communion" also wrote "Wolfen"
My family’s go to is cocksucker, not sure we will make it the next century
The family business is demolition so we own a junk yard. Well, more of a scrap yard. You’re welcome to visit anytime, Stangers.
don't do it Stang everyone knows they pin murders on the guy with the lowest IQ at junk yards. Don't get Dassey'd bro
Random thought but, did the Boyz ever settle the bet on how much Stangers dog weighs?
A movie sits down in a movie theater and says “what even is this movie?”
Only 3 hours?? Fuck this, man. I’m going to go do some crimes instead.
Thank you for another great episode, Actionboyz! If you ever find yourselves in the Mid-Atlantic region.... please stay far, far away from my car.
“You pieces of shit! Not you Stanger. You’re cool with me. You’re cool with me bro! Stanger for life yo!”
On the punk tip, the coolest part of that Belushi doc is when he plays drums with Dead Boys
that band(the old ladies kids) is Fishbone
Haha jesus Gabrus, Paula Abdul is not latin
She has a Latin energy like Baldwin’s girl
You guys really need a beer expert.
I went to school in rochester and my friend group's hangover cure was a genergy (Genny cream ale with a shot of espresso)
Ah man, the Weekly World News/tabloids in the checkout line...my buddy & me still laugh at our favorite headline from back in the day: “Gary Coleman is a pathetic, pistol-packing skinhead who shocks women with his kinky sexual talk”
Rogers, please stop telling "the hat" story. We've heard it.
😏
And the security guard is the Satan’s Helper who says all the things they want to do to Pee Wee after he knocks over all the bikes in Big Adventure before the Tequila dance.
The cop / security guard from this is the mob guy in Carlitos Way right? The old moustache Pete that says Carlito dances like an Italian or something...?
Yep
Maybe one of the few movies where one is allowed to ask, ‘what even is this movie?’ I fucking love it.
Winn-Dixie sells 'Dr. Thunder' the dr. pepper knock-off
crossed my eyes in ecstasy throughout this whole podcast
I wanna hear Stanger’s full cover of Institutionalized
"...and I go home and ask mom what's for dinner, and she says hamburger helper.... and I get real mad and I yell I DON'T WANT HAMBURGER HELPER MOM! I GOT REAL PROBLEMS THAT HAMBURGER CAN'T HELP"
This movie was so bad...but kinda good. Tons of cocaine in the budget for the writer and directors for sure.
This was a fucking blast from start to finish, and I'm so glad Action Boyz finally made me watch it. Always avoided this because I thought it was much more like Men at Work.
Ordinary fucking action boyz man
