Assault on Precinct 13 (1976)
Got a smoke? For real- do you? We’re talking to you. Answer us!!! While we’re waiting, it’s ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 this week. What a movie, what a score! Anything that lacks in the movie the score makes up for. You can see some early Carpenter genius in this one and some fun shitty performances. Now, how did you come by a name like Napoleon Wilson? The Boyz have a few theories.

Watched this last night for the first time, fully dropped my jaw at the ice cream scene.
I was on the toilet when rodgers said he hoped I was on the toilet
Love the regular cone.
Hell yeah
Gonna point this out because no one else has, Bishop's story of being sent to the police station with a note from his father is basically word for word a story Alfred Hitchcock would tell about his youth. According to Hitchcock, he was placed in a jail cell and it was what inspired his obsession with mistaken identity narratives. I'd be surprised if this wasn't a conscious lift by Carpenter.
Jesus Christ, I pressed pause to write this comment, pressed play, and literally the next thing I heard is Rodgers telling this story.
Not convinced that the Action Boyz have a beer expert. Any real beer guy would tell them that most craft breweries are making pilsners these days. Disappointed.
100%. There are a lot of IPAs still out there but complaining about them is like complaining about chinstrap beards.
So in Mary Poppins was Dick Van Dyke a 'quimney sweep'?
Wow. I had to look up Napoleon and Josephine - and I’m a history buff.
Looking forward to Under Siege 2, but I'm still bummed Gwildor lost the "Travis Dane" role to Eric Bogosian. Word is Gwil couldn't control his gill slits during the missing disc freak out scene.
I hope an ice cream guy calls in next month
I guess there are lots of names for that cone
I’m from Wisconsin and 1 minute into this I’m already like “IT’S A WAFER CONE!”.
All the talk of acetylene made me yearn for a Sylvia Plath episode
Dammit, Rodgers! I loved Food Fighters so much but I never had any. My mom thought they were disgusting. I played little league with a kid that had a ton of those and Army Ants which also ruled. Didn’t the Food Fighters have an egg carton tank or some shit? Ketchup bottle fighter jet?
Food Fighters were also the only toy line that I had all of. My brother had one set of them and I had the other and there was a vehicle that was an egg carton and they were the dumbest/coolest things ever.
It’s really a good thing that the Patreon format isn’t like Only Fans, because if I got a notification at 1am tonight saying I could look at a partially redacted version of the Email “review” for $20, I’d probably have to pull the trigger.
I’m ready for the AB private snapchat subscription.
Swung by a Culver’s drive thru and the high school girl who brought out my food snuck up on me. I hastily rolled down the window just in time for her to get an earful of “JOSEPH’S TECHNICOLOR DREAM COAT”
“Death of some salesman” is the best Tales from the Crypt episode. Ed Begley jr. fucks Tim Curry in drag.
I hadn’t seen this movie before but I now know that Tarantino reused the “Should I save the last two bullets for us?” line in From Dusk Till Dawn.
Mediocre Broadway play exit interviews with bros... gold.
I’m looking forward to hearing this review more than any other media coming out this year.
On road trips as kids I would always get a Blizzard from DQ; however, my dumbfuck older brother would always get the dipped cone. He would sit in the back of our Astrovan and watch from the drive-thru as the employee would dip the cone and every third time or so it would drop off into the fudge and they would have to start over. This cracked him up. He grew up to be a dead beat dad. So, there's that.
Anyone find “The Review”?
I guess I'm finally gonna watch some Tales From The Crypt, because this is like the 3rd of my regular podcasts that has done extended bits about it this month.
I’m guessing one of those podcasts is the excellent Double Threat (with all it’s talk of trying to book John Kassir via Cameo and their ongoing riffs on the Crypt Keeper) What is the other podcast?
Hey guys, ice cream guy here. Former employee at two different ice cream stores, and a two-time Friendly’s Olympics champion. The lighter colored cone with the flat bottom is called a Cake Cone. The darker pointy cones are called Sugar cones. Cake cones aren’t as tasty as sugar cones but if you’re getting soft serve, you’re really gonna want that wider base of the cake cone. I couldn’t count the amount of times I tried to warn a mom about the sugar cone/soft serve combo only to watch her dumbass kid cry when it fell apart.
Great ep! First let me say, thank you, Dan, for your service. Also want to chime in as a big fan of the cake cone (real value add to a classic vanilla swirl).

My first viewing of AoP13 was in 2004/2005 at BAM in Brooklyn. If you were there, it was quite the fun experience - primarily because they loaded the reels in the wrong order. Maybe 1 and 2 were fine, but then it jumped to 4 or 5. Everyone was securing the station, Wilson was locked up in the back. Jump cut to, Julie dead on the floor and Wilson standing there with a gun.
RE: ice cream talk: Drumstick is the way to go
Trader Joes Hold the Cone all day.
Under Siege 2: Dark Territory up next? Katherine Heiglruary perhaps?
Also I don't think you guys mentioned it, the little girl is Kim Richards, one of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Paris Hilton's auntie
This episode is sloppy AF, love it. If strip clubs are your thing, they are full bar, full nude in Oregon.
Here’s Adam Sandler learning to make the “perfect sandwich” from SPANGLISH https://youtu.be/QXAJAyLdUXU
Enjoyed the Acetylene talk. I deliver that stuff for work.
The wages of fear... are being diverted to Patreon.
I got your ferris rod right here.
Ooh, they kept it short on this one.
