Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985)

Back in the 50s and around that time door to door salesmen used to sell monkeys lol It's true. People would legit have a crate filled with monkeys on the back of a pickup truck and knock on doors trying to sell them. The sad reality is that a lot of the monkeys would not only die being shipped but then would also die while being stuck in the crate waiting to be sold. Also a lot of owners didn't know the first thing about owning a monkey so it would usually die from bad caring. A very high number of people would quickly realize they didn't want the monkey and would either set it free or take it to a vet to get put down. Pretty wild stuff.

Hell yeah

I used to have a friend who's parents were rodeo clowns and they had that dog-riding monkey from the DQ commercials.

gabrus wasn't that dumb for saying beyond the thunder dome when Tina turners sings that line in we don't need a hero

Nothing delights me as much as Ben always fucking up the big lines in a movie. "What a pair we are raggedy man!" Well, almost nothing does, until Gabrus fucks up the correction more with "Ain't we a pair of raggedy men." Fucking delightful.

Excited to hear Rodgers mention Iron Bar's band. If anyone is interested the band is called Rose Tattoo. If you like early AC/DC you'll love them. Cheers.

I always felt bad as a kid when Blaster’s face is revealed and he looks like a scared child.

Steven Sinkhole, Steven seagul as a sinkhole

Twilight Zone: The Movie is a weird one cause it’s Spielberg’s worst by far but he made it after Landis chopped those kids heads off so you can’t really blame the guy for being checked out/making the most saccharine movie possible. (Read ‘Outrageous Conduct’ if you can get your hands on a copy.)

If people are curious as to where the hell the idea for the kids scenario came from, I realized on rewatching that they are what’s referred to as a cargo cult. After World War II some isolated communities in the South Pacific had brief contacts with the US military and were given supplies and things they had never seen before. Once the military left, some of the locals set up religions treating them as gods or prophets and predicted they would return and bring new gifts and salvation. The most famous is called John Frum. Herzog met with some of these people in a documentary he did on Netflix. Anyway, thought it was interesting that they used this as a model. Shows the depth of the writing.

I really want the Rhinography

Idk how beer alcoholics manage not to shit their pants constantly

"Hes a gray man so he can walk up and assassinate anyone..." Gabrus says of max out in the desert. Reference to the Wheel of Time series?

A lot of people say I’m the Octavio of my friend group

When the wind picked up and the kids ran off I thought they were going to jump off a cliff like Midsommar. Max had a horrified look on his face watching them before we see he’s looking at the plane.

Hmmph. Beyond the thunderdome you must go. Two men enter you will.

As a Bills fan, listening to Rodgers shit on Brady was maybe the peak of my Action Boys listening experience

As Miller proved later with Babe: Pig In The City, every movie can be improved tremendously by adding a Thunderdome to it.

They namechecked No Escape today and now feel compelled to watch it.

With all the monkey talk the boyz (mostly Stanger) may be interested to learn about the thriving wild monkey population in Florida due to a failed 1930s theme park. It 100% catches you off guard seeing a monkey in the wild here, but it can happen around the Silver Springs area. Here's an article from last year about the issues they cause to the area. https://www.ocala.com/news/20200222/silver-river-monkey-population-grows-unchecked

"Forever Twin" is what my twin brother used to call anybody with Downs Syndrome

re: shit from other podcasts bleeding into ABZ, Gabrus was on Chris Cubas podcast recently and said Vin Diesel would be much harder to fight in real life than The Rock.. still hilarious/insane to me maybe a wolf punt I dunno

Clear and Present Danger when?

The title refers to Thunderdome as an event, not the place Thunderdome.

Beyond Ahh Thunderdome: The Gabrus Cut

"There is no way you've ever said Beyond THE Thunderdome to us" Gabrus literally just tried to correct them in the last Shadow Wolves

Aussie here. No idea what fruit Max is eating. If it's not a peeled mango then it might be a raw potato. Edit: also, pretty sure we're the ones who pronounce 'Melbourne' wrong.

Boys and girls it's dying time

I distinctly remember hearing Dane Cook say "welcome to the Thunderdome, bitch" in the classic movie "Waiting" (2005). I feel like this may have been a trailer line so maybe that contributed to the confusion.
