The Omega Man (1971)
WARNING: Gabrus’s original audio track was captured by Matthias and The Family and lost forever. We were able to use his zoom recording but brace yourselves for some sound issues. On the bright side, you can experience what it sounds like to have Gabrus yell at you from the bathroom
“Out of ‘rats' alley where the dead men lost their bones.” T.S. Elliot turns out to have been just as good a prophet as he was a poet.
-US Army Col. Robert Neville MD
Hope everyone is enjoying Apoc-uly. THE OMEGA MAN is up this week, dig it!

Rewatched this last night, I absolutely lost it when Matthias’ crew captures Neville and they PUT A DUNCE CAP ON HIM. Omfg. Then lost it again when Neville has been speared and he screams LISA with his bloody mouth. Anytime Heston yells is truly hilarious. Then they’re IN THE GARAGE!!!! I wish I could have seen the video of this record to watch all the toothy impressions of Heston they are doing!!
hello, i'm the commenter who excuses my whiney complaint about audio quality on a podcast that has provided me literally hundreds of hours of content by making a pithy joke reference from said podcast at the end of my whiney complaint. gwildor!
I want to know who was doing the cop/ninja bit SO BAD
Heston was on Friends
Heston calling Matthias a fucking bitch for like 10 minutes is the funniest shit I’ve ever heard.
I swear Heston did play himself on an ep of Friends
I had never seen this movie before. It was awesome. Thank-you Action Boyz.
Can I be the car guy?
Look at me. I am the car guy now
Great ep
Did anyone else notice when Neville said “Balls!” as an exclamation
Some how never got around to seeing this one, FUCKING GREAT!!!!!!🤘🤘
What the hell I came here days late and thought I'd see this posted multiple times. https://friends.fandom.com/wiki/Charlton_Heston
Stanger losing it when Rodgers did the TS Elliott quote was the hardest I think I've heard him laugh.....he sounded liked a 40 year smoker at that point
I'd swear on a stack of Club Internationals that this was not streaming as of 4 days ago. And now it's on HBO Max - meaning the Shadow Wolves are officially influencers.
gun guy here. hate to do this, but the vietnam M60 was the M240b
Inttkferu mik ruin J
I loved when the kid's contact lens moved when Neville was examining him
Audio sync stuff is only really bad for 10-15 minutes, just power through or fast forward
Didn’t even notice any sync issues just thought it was pretty clear that Gabrus wasn’t recording with his normal setup; but I mean we’re 18 months in to this I would think folks would be able to spot the difference between a zoom and non zoom recording input without freaking out and throwing toys out of the car. Hell there are plenty of dogshit famous people podcasts that record normally using the kind of setup he had to use in a pinch , so we’re lucky.
Next year: PLANET OF THE APRIL or what?

“Jul-copolyps” - Stanger
imfdb.org is the sauna for the gun guy
Sad they edited out the extended riff on Heston as a character in Fresh Prince of Bel Air called Carlton Heston when they re-posted. I guess the Will Smith voice was problematic.
“Hi, Big Brother! How’s your ass?”
Looks like there's quite a few comments here, so I'll offer my own thoughts on the elephant in the room. Punting Robot Jox to next year is a terrible idea... first of all, it is hard as hell to find on streaming - it shows up on Amazon Prime in weird, rare bursts, but outside of that you can only really watch it through pricey Blu-ray or DVD copies. Secondly
That movie has always languished in distribution hell. It would make a hell of a live show movie.
What's even is an audio engineer?
Haven’t seen Krasinski mo-cap the monsters but have seen Ang Lee mo-cap the Hulk. Check out that footage, he rules.
I'm not familiar at all with Heston, but his crazy laugh when she picks up the birth control pills was amazing.
Losing some hilarious content because the audio sync is so bad! Bummer.
Oof can't listen because of those sync issues.
Ok it clears up after a little while.
THE NOID IS NOT TALKING TO ME DAMN IT
The audio track sync issues have been happening pretty regularly now. The last shadow wolves had one too. Using a bell or clapping tends to help. That’s what we use on my janitor cast
Bring back in person records!!!! The audio syncs are rough
did i microdose too much or is the audio way out of sync. 5 stars
at least it didn't happen on a good movie or something
Why did Heston have that sci-fi period? Was it all he could get after the Civil Rights campaigning or was he a particular fan of the genre?
I had a girlfriend who had a sci-fi period once. Sorry this doesn't answer your question.
I love a dinner party where one or two people have twenty opinions on every conversation and all of these opinions are very interesting and good.
Oh look someone gets invited to dinner parties!
Dana Gould, who's the biggest Planet Of The Apes fan (he lives in Roddy McDowell's old house on Mulholland) always talks about doing Politically Incorrect with Heston back in the day and how cool and nice he was even though they disagreed on almost everything politically. I like to think Chuck would be against what the NRA has become.. but probably not
just to clarify for the younger janitors out there, Heston was the president of the NRA, "I'LL GIVE YOU MY GUN WHEN YOU PRY IT FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS" kinda surprised it never came up in this ep
The bad mix and bad audio is an argument for in-person records.
I haven't listened to this particular episode so I can't speak on this specifically but for the most part the audio/mix has been fine. I'm guessing maybe someone's local zoom recording failed and they had to go with a live mix? I dunno how Zoom works exactly. Anyway, it's been generally fine so the occasional foul up doesn't necessarily mean the call for in-person recordings. I'm sure they will when they're ready but it's been working for the most part so far.
Getting a response code of 404 on my RSS pod player. Who do I send my bug report to, Gabrus Gorgon?
To be safe and for the quickest response, send it to all of their social media accounts. Including the secret IG account Rogers set up for Jane (sorry that's the "Melons" tier). Also send it to every gym in Los Angels and have them paged.
Still broken on Overcast
Still broken. Clearly a pipe is blocked or something.
Thanks dudes
It's working now, fellow gabrusgorgons
Can’t wait for Plant of the Apes-tember
Primate-uary
The fart tier has finally been created.
Update: Just worked for me
Finally! Thank god! I'm going to listen to it tonight.
Stranger recorded the ep on floppy disk, car trouble on the way to Patreon HQ
Did you guys hear the episode isn’t working?
It's working for me, but I'm friends with Stanger's salad so ymmv
It's working for me, classic episode. Top five maybe? Shit I might re-listen to it here once I'm done.
You were ok with the 10 minute bloody fisting conversation and pro-Mengele stuff? I was a little queasy. I was shocked that 2 out of three of them supported his experiments. I won't spoil it for those who haven't listened but we can all guess who...
Somebody call Rodgers on his cell and tell him about the tech issue. He'll jump all over it.
Maybe someone dropped an N-bomb and they pulled it.
I was going to make a "joke" that said: "And by 'N-bomb' I mean "nightshades"" Then I realized that could sound like a slur too. No, I don't have podcast.
I hope they're ok. I'm worried.
It's so nice of them to delay the episode because I didn't have time to watch the movie yesterday and won't get around to it before tonight. That's the kind of personal touch you only get with the Action Boyz.
😎
Swear to god as I type this I’m watching a guy squatting on a rack backwards.
Did you say anything?
Sorry, bad humor.
I know.
I guess the Boyz forgot to gas up the generator.
Great ep
While we're waiting has anyone read this book? I read it over and over as a kid, never saw this movie, then was so disappointed when the Will Smith I Am Legend came out. I don't know why no one wants to make the movie just like the book.
I love the book! My favorite adaptation is the Vincent Price 'Last Man on Earth' from 1964. It's not the greatest movie, but it definitely influenced 'Night of the Living Dead,' and I'm a huge Price fan, so I enjoy it quite a bit.
The Family got to Mr. Patreon
I guess we wait until after morning sauna.
oh no oh no no no no
Put your blouse on
My Friends wrote a song about this movie! Give em' a listen: https://youtu.be/SWmSV3m72AA
No.
What even is this movie?
You can have the wav file when you pull it from his cold dead hands!
More like the no-mega man. edit: or N-Omega Man?
Oh well, back to staring at my wall.
Someone call Pat Reon and find out what the hell is going on. It's 6:44 am EST and if I don't listen to the Boyz by 9 am I go feral. It's a witch's curse. Long story
Can we get tech on this?
I think the link might be down?
