The Hard Way (1991)
Don’t adjust your listening devices, the Boyz have shuffled the deck this week. Big Ry stumbles through the plot of THE HARD WAY. No one is more surprised by the notes he wrote down than Stanger himself. Anyway, a lot to love about this movie and a lot to hate - mostly Jimmy Woods’ stupid leather jacket. Look out for an appearance from Gabrus Gorgan and very special Frogg Dogg segment.

one of my fav episodes on replay LMAO 🍿
Hell yeah
Woods is a great man. Highly intelligent, notorious long swordsman, proud American 🇺🇸

Did anyone define “fern bar” yet
Late to the comment party, but just wanted to say that Stanger did a great job leading the recap!
"Fern bars" are those shitty fast casual restaurants like Chili's and TGI Fridays. I used to BEG my parents to bring us to Ruby Tuesdays after the church service on Sunday. I'm not sure if my disillusionment of the $5 salad bar or my loss of faith came first but I'm pretty sure one led to the other
Did someone delete my link to a video of a horse farting?
Thelma & Louise would be good for a Shadow Wolves episode.
Anybody else’s ears perk up when they discovered both Moby and Natalie Portman have pet Rogers dog? Man I’m too invested in this podcast.
"They Shall Not Grow Old" is only a couple of bucks to rent on Amazon, or 15 to buy, it's worth it if you have a halfway decent home theater setup and it seems tons of movie podcast listeners do based on feedback about the death of the theater industry.
Man that shit was depressing, war is fucked
am I high on dust or do the Boyz seem to always dance around Videodrome
Always great to hear from film fan.
Knowing Stephen Lang was in the movie, I spent the whole episode waiting for the Frog Dog / Law Dog conversation, which never happened.
For those who want to follow along, this lunatic provided a recipe: https://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/frog-dog-29439
Is it condescending to be happy/proud that Stanger got the keys to the car this ep?
No
Good for a short ep
Do any of you ever imagine what it would be like to titty pork a pair of heavy hangers with your pud?
Roger Ebert spot on as usual: “Woods plays the kind of role where, if they hadn't been able to hire him, they would have had to shut down the movie. Who else could play this rapid-fire, angry, violent, foul-mouthed, insecure, sneaky and lying but lovable rascal? He's the toughest cop in New York, the kind who rams his police car into the back of a truck because he's late for a date. I have seen some James Woods movies I didn't enjoy, but it's hard to remember them - the names of few other actors give you more of a guarantee that you will not be bored and will possibly be electrified.”
The fight in the theater had to have influenced Last Action Hero which came out a few years later doing the same shit and HELLO THE BAD GUYS WEARING A RED T SHIRT JUST LIKE JACK SLATER BUDDY BUDDY BUDDDY
Michael J. Fox was great on Rescue Me. Always felt it was underrated because everyone had a hard on for HBO back then. https://youtu.be/DKSJwzhzlqY
Maybe people just preferred Bill Hicks’s earlier cop show, Save Myself.
Farts and burps covering over swears is great. Aqua Teen used to do that for the broadcast episodes, and I enjoyed it more than hearing the actual swears. What is one of the foulest ABZ episodes that would be great for that?
There's a lot more swearing than you'd think its all so casual. I'll sometimes try to listen with my 3 year old in the car and there is either a swear word or something vile legit every 15 seconds in every episode.
Gabrus Gorgon stresses me out more than when gabrus says "Stanarang back to you arang" Great podcast
Speaking of all these cop titles, when are y'all gonna do Cop and a Half? Maybe save it for Novemburt
Rodgefan42069 > Stanger Gorgon > Stangerbot > gabrus gorgon ? Would love to hear from rodgefan42069 sometime soon
the ultimate Wacktion Boy!
Leave Stanger alone! Let him do whatever he wants to do with his butt.
I'm torn between wanting the butt fucking advocate to call the hotline regularly, or just being grateful for the gift we were already given.
FOR THE WOLVES: the Coffey sisters are doing porn now. Any of you check that shit out?
I think "porn" might be a stretch
Love all the Mr.T talk! I've been watching all the Rockys and I can never get enough of Clubber.
In regards to messing with the algorithm of movie streams, do you guys think we all watch the movie at the same time? Maybe we should. . . Thoughts?
I watched "COP" like 2 weeks ago, its good.
Stanger's pronunciation of "aplomb" is my favorite ABZ bit
Came here to say this ☝🏻
Oh and also have been to the Russian spa in West Hollywood where they give you those little wool sauna hats. My friend that worked there was insistent it helped especially with longer hair. I’m not sure on the science but I can confirm I didn’t get split ends. What are your thoughts on getting slapped with those branches?
Hey boyz, former marine here. Was stationed in Kuwait in 2003 during the invasion of Iraq and we had Arnold come to the base and do an all day meet and greet with anyone on base that wanted to come. Ended up sitting in line for 3 hours but got the photo and a brief fun interaction with Arnold. Also met Leanne Tweeden and the playboy playmates but never got to meet Al Franken. Also met Alyssa Milano and the Washington Football team cheerleaders and R lee ermey (the full metal jacket drill instructor). I had a chance to see kid rock and three doors down but skipped it.
Leanne Tweeden is a sweetheart, met her in Afghanistan along with Robin Williams in 2010
Joe Gunn - great character name
Stanger - it’s “aplomb,” not “ablump.” loved the episode as usual
The other day Stallone definitely fucked up on his Instagram Stories posting because for just a tiny little bit there was a screen shot of an email where it was saying something like "Have Scarlet email the Dean of Admissions at the University of Miami so she can get her application in." It made me laugh because there's the Instagram Font Letters "CC" over the top of it so I assume he was trying forward this or something and he just fucked up and posted it to his instagram story.
Nick of Time is my favorite Badham.
3:40 runtime? oh it's Stanger piloting.
The full Stephen Lang One Man Show is on Prime & SaunaTV
Hey guys, self appointed wrestling guy here. During the stakeout near the end, Guzman’s character says he’d rather be home watching Wrestlemania 14, and mentions two wrestlers. This is both anachronistic and fabricated. This movie was released on March 8 1991. The most recent Wrestlemania was 6. The main event of that show was The Ultimate Warrior against Hulk Hogan. Wrestlemania 14 would not happen until 6 years later in 1998. It was a landmark show, featuring “Stone Cold” Steve Austin defeating “The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels for the WWF Heavyweight Championship. This was a landmark show, establishing Austin as the face of the company, which would ensure some of the most successful years in the company’s history, known as “The Attitude Era”.
Dan the Wikipedia... I mean wrestling guy
Had no idea about Stephen Lang’s play. Here’s the trailer. Wild. https://youtu.be/m53HkHidk1k
produced by gravitas ventures. keifers production company?
So is a Frog Dog just a regular hot dog with a pile of fries, mustard and ketchup on it, or is that dude going out at night and catching frogs with dynamite like the old lady in Triplets of Belleville? Also had not seen this movie since at least the mid-90s but that scene gave me powerful nostalgia.
3 hours and 40 minutes! Too damn short if you ask me. Love you guys 😘
Yeah i needed this shit so hard <3
