Sniper (1993)
Here’s the plan....you, a civilian, have to accompany this bad ass sniper while he eliminates rebel general Miguel Alvarez who’s funded by this Colombian drug lord named, Raoul Ochoa. Anyway, we need you to go with him because you were in the olympics or some shit. Fuck it, just put on a ghillie suite and do some cool sharp shooter stuff! It’s SNIPER this week.

This has to be one of THE funniest episodes you guys have ever done.....SO much random funny shit from Stallone to silver medals to sunglasses to lingering! 🤣 It's been a rough, exhausting week and this podcast has been a delightful distraction - thank you guys for continuing to kill it. 🤗
Hell yeah
I really enjoyed the many variations of Papich's name used throughout this episode... I just had to look up what it actually was. I heard Papich, Papish, Popavich, Babitch, Pavish...
...I thought they were saying "Babbage" the entire time.
Is there a shadow wolves for this month? Thoughts?
Another one of Stanger's clients died
Do you think they know Gwildore? Is lying about 9/11 not enough for you, Paul Harvey?
I’ve been here for a couple months now and burned through most of the backlog so I get most of the running jokes and gags. I know the whole rannazzisi story of how he lied about being in the tower on 9/11 but the boys reference it a lot. Do they actually know him and have genuine disdain for him, or is it just one of a bunch of random references they use?

Just want to speak Vision Quest out into the echochamber for Sportstember or Shadow Wolves consideration. Shit holds up, checks all the boxes, the ultimate/only wrestling movie, a better teen version of Rocky than Karate Kid IMO cuz Modine's going up in weight to take on an undefeated monster twice his size and it's just got more balls and cheesy sentimental inspirational moments. Jake from Sixteen Candles pretending to be Native American(maybe this is where Seagal got it from?!), the manager from Major League is his alcoholic dad, Ronny Cox is Modine's dad, the old man from Home Alone is his grandpa.. Madonna, Tangerine Dream, solid soundtrack, that Lunatic Fringe song was in heavy rotation on the weight room stereo in high school. Don't blink or you'll miss Forest Whitaker.. and obviously Fiorentino, Italian for smoke.show
I would like to nominate Dead Calm for HorrorBoyz. Mount Rushmore of unsupervised late night Cinemax viewing in 1990. Billy Zane warped my 10 year old mind. And Sam Neill rowing over to the boat Zane came from, JFC man.
Agent Starling pressing Hannibal Lecter for info on the Action Boyz had me dying.
Gwildor really popped off in the Desperado episode for anyone who is genuinely curious that’s when the Instagram of Stallone, Arnold; and Dolph came up. Stallone backdoored Gwildor into the rotation. Alright gonna kill myself.
No way. Always appreciated
They just don’t have the purchase you foolish fool
Rodgers impression of Lynch is very good!
Focus on the donut not the hole!
To give a pedantic answer about the GS-9 line: GS stands for general schedule and alludes to the federal pay scale for the position. It can also be used as a value to determine a rank equivalent command structure when contractors and general federal employees are working together. Miller would be a second lieutenant equivalent at a gs9 compared to Beckett being a sergeant, or a gs7. I only know about this from family that are retired military now working for the federal government. My mom just got promoted to GS-13 this year https://www.federalpay.org/articles/civilian-to-military-rank
Haha the idea of them having access to a custom action boyz sound board.
Glad to know I’m in a group of people who didn’t flinch when Rodgers said Prince Henry Stout and just thought “yes, from surviving the game obviously”

The thing the gang talks about where after watching these movies makes you a kid expert on world politics really brought me back to when modern warfare came out and me and all my friends were suddenly special forces experts.
One of my favorite Workaholics lines: “I’m not gonna get in the way of love, man! I’m not Billy Zane!”
Wait you guys have been watching the movies?
IM LOVING IT -Fender from Cyborg as the new McDonald's spokesman
Moons Over My Hammy - best late night sandwich ever!!!
PS does anyone else think the surgeon looked pretty similar to the guy that got melted by toxic sludge in Robocop?
It’s the same guy.
I am posting here because I have never posted before, forgot my patreon username, and left a rambling voicemail on the shadow wolf line last night. Sup freaks
“Jarheads. Fucking flattop lifers.” -Billy Zane
Loved JTVD in Tequila Sunrise. A lot of movies with Kurt Russell.
Whoa whoa, is this action boyz or Australia boyz? Accents are spot on.
I’m the 2001 Space Odyssey in my group of friends.
Holy shit the boyz are ranked 60th podcast on patreon. That's a lot of FBI terrorist watch list suspects supporting this future crime audio evidence.
SHOT THROUGH THE SCOPE AND YOU'RE TO BLAME YOU GIVE URETHRA BUGS A BAD NAME
Berenger is only in the first (and best) Substitute, all the sequels have Treat Williams.
Watching Billy Zane in stuff where he's supposed to be likeable is so weird. My main thought watching this for the first time was "it's amazing how much more positive I am towards a movie these days if there are some solid gunshot squibs in the first few minutes".
Hot damn! What a way to start off White Boy Summer!
I'm surprised by how bored I was watching this movie 🤤
