Hell yeah
It took half the length of this podcast to find it on PlutoTv. How many movies about making movies were we getting back then I love this shit.
Found it on TCM
Stanger doesn't know how to say 'repertoire' lmao
The list of Celebrity Alone candidates was so perfect. "Brooke Hogan... Hulk Hogan... Joe Rogan... Grogan..."
Never heard of this movie before, I really enjoyed it!
Really laughing hard at the grade school video stuff, so good
Jackass came out when I was in highschool so my student council video just ripped it off. The biggest stunt was me and twin brothers each with a mattress jumping off their roof one on top of the other. We called it the triple decker.
Put yer mattrezz on and take yer glazzez off.
It's also streaming on the Criterion Channel along with another B. De P. great, Body Double in the Neonoir collection. Just happened to watch it yesterday. Can't wait to listen to the Ep at work tomorrow.
So many good movies in that collection. I just watched Body Double, The Eyes of Laura Mars, and Night Moves (all of which would make for great ABZ picks).
I think the Boyz said this is no longer available to stream on any service right now after Prime pulled it down. But it is on PlutoTV. I look forward to watching it before I finish the episode.
There should be an ABZ Awards at the end of the year. I would nominate Blow Out, Juice, and Romancing the Stone for Best ABZ Movie of the Year. Cutthroat Island should be nominated for Worst of the Year.
Would 100% wear a shirt with a mustache that said hpv catcher
Sound guys not knowing this movie is similar to me mentioning to fellow Steadicam operators that ALIENS has 2 sweet ass guns made with Steadicams. For 25 years they always go “oh cool I never knew that I’ll check that out sometime”. Fuck you. 5 stars.
Is being a steadicam operator different to a regular camera guy? I suppose there’s more running around?
Hey guys, I’m not a sound guy but I am a TV crew guy and can confirm that sound guys are almost all weirdos. One guy I know is really into chemtrails and another really, really wanted to show me a 3d animation he was working on of “where the wild things are”-esque monsters playing different instruments.
"Well....he is an M.D." Fucking incredible.
You had me at Blow…
DePalma leaves vest on during the hunka chunka
I thought this movie was pretty good and I was enjoying it...until the very shitty nonsensical ending 🙃
Gabrus describing High and Mighty as "Some dude talking about weed and saying sick to someone else"😂
Can't wait to hear Rogers' Lithgow.
Can Gabrus confirm or deny the mushroom simulation partner as Bug Mane
I thought for sure the thumbnail was going to be Lithgow propositioning the sex worker.
This is one of those weeks where I feel super sad for the people here who never watch the movies.
Oh wow that’s really sweet of you Brock. Thanks man.
