Howard the Duck (1986)

I'm really sad I payed for the Patreon for the month. The first episodes are pretty good, but the podcast really quickly becomes just an in-group of three friends talking to each other.

Hell yeah

Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. Can confirm we do have smog checks/emissions testing.

It's a shame that season 2 of The Wire wasn't already out when Howard was trying to get into that bar

I wonder if this was the sign-language snafu Stanger was talking about? It was the Mandela tribute when the guy just made it up, in front of the entire planet 😅: https://edition.cnn.com/2013/12/12/world/africa/mandela-memorial-fake-intepreter/index.html

Unless they're building some new machine, they will have to "reverse the laser" in some capacity.

I also only eat between 4-8pm but I have what doctors call an ‘eating disorder.’

The dads threatening to bully friends over emasculating things is maybe an upstate NY parent trait I guess? My dad would kick in the bathroom door when I would go to pee, because he knew I liked to sit down to pee and read a magazine; he would threaten to tell my friends I “squatted to piss like a broad” if he caught me doing it.

yolkula? quackula. its right there.

What’s the name of the book? I literally can’t understand Stanger when he says the title.

And congrats to Ben on Lower Decks!

Happy 200, Boyz!

Between shadow wolves and this. I've been convinced, I ordered Antkind.

Outback Steakhouse was also my dads favorite restaurant. As he would say: “A place like this you know what you’re gunna get. No messing around. An outback in New York is the same an outback in Montana” so he essentially just liked chain restaurants?

What was the title of the book(?) with the joke about the hypnotist father they discussed in the later part of the episode? Didn’t catch the title

The Gwildor as corrupt cop/Training Day bit (2:57-3:00hr mark) was the hardest I laughed in months. Fantastic episode.

How did Tim Robbins manage to be cast in anything outside of a syndicated children’s cable sitcom after this movie?

The Nicholson impressions/title drops reminded me of when we had a KISS Fathom event thing at my theater and how my buddy and I spent the next year or so doing Paul Stanley impressions and working KISS song titles into movie theater PSAs. “Now, you know, PEOPLE, you might LOVE IT LOUD, but please, be considerate of your fellow moviegoers and keep your voices DOWN once the movie’s started! OH YEAH!!!”

All joking aside I do love Stanger.

Richard Edson the guy who played the thug named Ritchie that was also in Ferris Bueller was the original drummer in Sonic Youth #sauna

I remember loving this movie when I was a kid. Just finished watching it again in preparation for this episode and it's dogshit. Having said that...I still love the shit out of it 🤤

Stanger circling back on the Articles and saying "huh, this is actually pretty good". You perfect dicks

Fruit bats are adorable. I was watching a video the other day about an old one that can't fly anymore, so they walk around holding him up and he flaps his little wings like he's still flying.... and shit.

@Rodgers - my mom does the same “this person’s dead” run down during calls

I think the public Porno reader story was about Beau Bridges? I maybe making that up but im pretty sure i am not

Rented on a sick day when my Mom was on duty... snuck it in at the video store between Pete’s Dragon and Milo & Otis (movies she always said yes to). Our membership number at ‘Video Horizons’ was #33, and it was maybe my biggest win of the 80s.

Tim Robbins was on Gilbert Gottfried's podcast not too long ago, had a few Howard the Duck anecdotes. I think the original duck was a kid in the suit and it didn't go well.

An all time classic ep

I don't think they intend it, but Onsen in Eugene Oregon, an hourly hot tub/sauna rental place, was definitely for sucking and fucking in the 90's and 2000's.

Always blown away by the accuracy of the mom conversations. The need to tell me about the death of someone I barely know or don’t know at all every fucking time.

Loads of duck action!!!!

If you're drowning in a Kid-Die pool filled with melk, drink as much of it as your little belly can hold.

Congrats on 200 Boyz, every episode has been a 5 star banger and this is my favorite podcast of all time and shit

Duck boobs, inter species sex, duck rock and roll 10/10

Duck boobs confused an entire generation

I'd never even seen this movie and I'm a movie duck. Anyway, this fucking sucks, huh?

Fingers crossed for a Howard/Gwildor/Yoda crossover.
