Blind Fury (1989)
People have been bugging us to do BLIND FURY since we started this damn podcast. It’s been on the schedule for a long time and we all had fond memories of it. Does it hold up?
nope, it sucks

Everyone knows the worlds tallest little person is Peyton manning
The boyz went in hard on Quicksilver’s appearance in Wandavision. Not grasping that what people buzzed about was the actor swap. (Evan Peters in place of Aaron Taylor-Johnson). Out of character of course for the boys to be drunk on hate-juice towards a Marvel project. Rodgers sounded like his own nerd character voice when he passionately exclaimed “That cameo was nothing compared to Luke Skywalker‘s appearance in the Mandalorian” 🤣
How does it benefit a blind man to wear a digital watch?
You should never feel bad about sharing aquarium information
Man, really sad when they record late in the day and Stanger starts sundowning about 90 minutes in.
Found this in a 2008 article, I thought Stanger might find it interesting: "Steven Matthew Schultz, 28, allegedly used a homemade stabbing device Thursday to slash the throat of convicted sex offender Shannon Lee Graling, 53, at the California State Prison-Sacramento in Folsom. Schultz is serving a 26-years-to-life sentence for the 1997 murder of his mother." Love the show guys! Please do Dredd.
You're like the fifth person to mention this, though I'm sure Stanger doesn't mind, because now Google autofill searches are trending from 'Stanger Wife?' to 'Stanger Friend Murderer?' ...and I too would like to see Dredd.
The Forrest Gump soundtrack in mom’s rig hit hard. Now I’m going have “Sloop John B” in my head for the next week. That’s a song Brian Wilson recorded with a little band called The Beach Boys.
I like being your nephew Uncle Majestyk
The theme song kind of stopping and then starting is super fucking funny, really good work Rob
Helicopter rides are fun if the scenery is worth seeing.
We getting Blindvember sometime soon? Can’t wait to hear commentary on the daytime tv classic See No Evil, Hear No Evil. Swear I saw it every time I stayed home sick for a few years.
I couldn't believe how bad Prince of Darkness was when I watched it only a few years ago. My first Carpenter was The Thing and my second Escape From New York, so I guess down was the only way to go ...
If the Action Boyz are serious about giving Zatoichi another shot they are all on Criterion. I recommend starting with the third film. The first two movies are in B&W and kind of slow. Best films in the series are Fight Zatoichi Fight, Zatoichi’s Pilgrimage, Zatoichi the Outlaw and Zatoichi Goes to the Fire Festival. Takeshi Kitano did a Zatoichi remake in 2003 that is pretty good but the Boyz might not like the CGI blood/swordplay. Blind Fury does actually make a lot of references to Zatoichi and seeing those movies does make Blind Fury go down a little easier.
These are very strong Zatoichi recommendations
I prefer The Right Stuff movie to the book. I read it recently and find Wolfe’s whole repetition thing tiresome. Seeing the same phrases over and over and over is the opposite of engaging to me. The movie is 4 hours but feels like 2.
I knew Lisa Blount's name sounded familiar, she plays a murderous nurse, and is also very topless in the horror film "Dead & Buried"
I was a freshman in high school when I saw this and AIDS was still bouncing around on the news daily. That sucking on the bloody thumb shit never made sense. Also Meg Foster is alive in the movie for 4 min. 5 stars.
Antkind rules
Think its better on audiobook or physical copy? I feel like i'd have to reread a lot of whats being said, so im not sure what format to get it hah
Evan Peters first appeared as Quicksilver in X-Men: Days of Future Past, definitely considered to be one of the stronger offerings of the series. Of course, much like the Boyz, I am more of an MCU guy myself.
Lisa Blount won an Oscar for Best Short Film along with her husband, the crazy preacher from Deadwood.
For those interested in the Zatoichi movies, check out the hanzo the razor trilogy with the same guy, Shintaro Katsu. Much more abz territory but, uh... horrifically problematic? From wiki: The series is about a law enforcer, during the Edo period who interrogates female victims with his large penis
Check out the story about Randall Tex Cobb and the author Pete Dexter.
Thanks for the mention! 😅👍🏽 I feel so seen.
Oh good it’s you! Ha. I thought I was talking too much on here!
“This movie is for people who were 11 in 1990.” GUILTY AS CHARGED
Billy you like my farts and I'm your uncle now, smell my farts they're stinky but they're good. We'll laugh about it, I'm your uncle and I love your dad he's fine.
Randal Tex Cobb was friends with my Sensei Bill at our dojo in Albuquerque... (might be my most ABZ sentence ever) it was in a strip mall of course. I was about 12, and he showed up a few times and it was like seeing a movie villain in person.
My favorite part of his wiki is he won a boxing match but afterwards both him and his opponent were DQ'd for testing positive for cocaine.
They 100% made Scooby fruit snacks AND Scooby graham cracker bites. Kids would lose their minds for them at summer camp.
Very disappointed with the amount of times Rodgers says “who knows” in this episode without anyone doing the Stallone voice.
Battle Beyond The Stars is on Prime.
When was the Scent of a Woman Shadow wolves episode recorded? I don't see it...

They never tell anyone about the mom getting killed, right?
Oh also I finally powered through the last 25 chapters or so of Antkind with the audiobook this weekend. Took some long walks, just traipsing around the woods with headphones on cackling like a maniac. It completely sucked me back in.
I had the same experience with this movie, did everyone just watch this once when they were a preteen?? I couldn't remember anything except Tex getting chopped in half
Let us give a moment of silence in remembrance of all the young 46 year old boys who gave their life defending our freedoms in Vietnam
Man Rodgers doesn't even like the Daredevil Netflix show? Why do they hate on Marvel stuff so much. Did Fiege kill one of their best friends or something?
I just remember dudes irish accent and the supporting characters annoying and the hyperviolent let's smash a dudes head in a car door repeatedly to hear the squish bullshit was pretty lame
Blind warriors are the coolest shit. Back in highschool it was a guarantee someone would play a blind character in our dnd game, and argue with the dm why they had daredevil powers.
I haven't listened to it yet, but if the boyz don't comment on how much Randall Cobb looks like Mike Mitchell, I will be sorely disappointed.
I was not disappointed...
The fix is to let cannon make the movie, same cast same plot
Nothing like Sho Kosugi showing up for one scene in a movie to remind you that what you're watching could have been so much better if they'd just cast him in the main role.
