Hell yeah
Just watched the Tarantino BET clip… it’s literally unwatchable, pure instinctual body aversion inducing abject horror!! 🤢
Did the ABz see the picture of Tom Cruise outside the Indian restaurant? Dude finally looks old. Probably cause they’ve been shooting MI7 for what feels like forever.
He got his car stolen too, which along with a good curry completes the London experience.
Real Mike Yanagita situation here
Oscilloscope Labs should post mortem that Val Kilmer archive… that’s exactly what they did for Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon in “All I can say” it’s only footage shot by Hoon. It’s dark and beautifully edited.
What'd Gabrus think of Green Knight?
Dammit, I wanted to hear that story about what Rogers did to that family!
I’m the asshole from South Dakota that left a voice mail. I’m sorry for being an asshole, I liked the Tron episode, I even liked re-watching Tron. I’m hyped for Superman. And I knew the answer to my question but I just like hearing you guys talk about what makes an Action Boyz movie. As for South Dakota and North Dakota, yes they should combine, there is basically no difference and we don’t have great politicians out here so getting rid of two conservative dicks would be a good thing. Again sorry for coming off as insulting #ACTIONBoyz4LYFE
Found the UYD fan?
Balbo Biggans. Hilarious
Like this comment if you hate voicemails.
Nah
I'm listening now and just assumed that they were talking about Snake Eyes from 1998 with Nic Cage. Had no idea another one came out.
Hello, time traveler. Snake Eyes, from the G.I. Joes, got a, 'Origins' movie. Like Wolverine.
Congratulations Kitchener, Canada on joining the Action Boyz universe.
At the end of the episode where Stanger talks about the Yosemite family that died mysteriously, that shit freaks me out. Coincidentally though I did hear on reddit that Film Fan has moved to Yosemite.
Audiobook of the Jakarta method is worth a listen for even more awful cia shit
Hey Krasinski said they're cool and I wouldn't wanna mess with that guy
More on Al Salvador and Central and South America: HIGHLY recommend people listen to this two part episode of the great podcast Behind the Bastards about the School of the Americas. Shit is 1000 times worse than you probably thought, but it is essential information, imo. https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/part-one-the-deadliest-school-in-71503766/
South and North Dakota were specifically separated to add more senators and electoral votes for Republicans after reconstruction. If you care, here’s an article: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/598243/ For some reason I’m too dumb to understand, I can’t reply to Tyler and Nate. But there is also no difference between Delaware and Maryland
I was born and raised in North Dakota and left as soon as I graduated high school. I know plenty of South Dakotans. There is not a damn difference between any Dakotan. Combine the two states.
I will venmo any of the action boyz $100 to paint whatever they want on a 20×16 canvas and mail it to me. And ill pay for shipping as well.
If someone offered you $100 to just drive to the store and buy the materials necessary to paint a 16x20 canvas that's a terrible fucking deal
A Blood Meridian reference. This episode has everything.
I'm in for a $50 crowd fund contribution to any listener that gets a tattoo of Gabrus in a Tron uniform. Video proof required.
Caller failed to mention Terry Funk is in “Over the Top” and “Roadhouse”
I feel like the people that start a new creative endeavor around their 30s/40s are just hitting a certain # of therapy hours where it all unlocks. No I’m def not speaking from experience or anything
@ David M - I think that sort of thing is personal and comes down to your passions. “I’m a car buff”, so I’ve been doing racing events in my shitty old mustang and having a great time. Also taking cooking classes and going to some comedy/improv/podcast shows pre-covid. It’s all specific to the person, but best bet is to just chase your dreams and not let the excuses prevent you.
That voicemail was like looking in a mirror
I am the biggest wheel of time fan. Was excited to hear gabrus was listening. If the first book doesn't resonate on some american lord of the rings vibe, I'd say don't bother. I love them and the world/magic is some of the best ever invented.
Just wanted to say I finally discovered the ABZ Instagram last night and it’s hilarious. You guys are doing a wonderful job with social media.
How long until Rodgers throws hands with a patron?
Hahahaha for sure, he's on a slow climb to going full on Louis Black mixed with the guy from scanners (which isn't a complaint, I'm on board for the ride)
Why don't these dudes write a movie about Silvercorp the failed "dumb action movie" Venezuelan coup attempt
Ayy had to join shadow wolves, they hit 5k!
YouTube also desperately wants me to watch that “serial killer calls into radio show” clip.
it's pretty solid, you should
One thing I'd like to add to the Boyz take on Weird Science: At every single point, Lisa is in control of Wyatt and Gary, not vice versa. The opening scene has Gary and Wyatt discussing what they would do if they had girlfriends, and the entire film is Lisa forcing them to live out these fantasies, and seeing the vapid flaws of them, and also the toxic mentalities behind them. The premise may be wish fulfillment, but really Lisa turns most of these into life lessons or nightmares, and not actually fulfilling any male fantasies. Wyatt and Gary do get real girlfriends in the end, but the movie does try and work in that it's because they are being more authentic versions of themselves, without toxic fantasies fueling their intentions or interactions.
No shit, smarty pants
HEY MAN I FUCKIN MEDITATE EVERY DAY!!!
Did King rush the ending of Dark Tower as he thought he was dying or something?
he had to have a plan the whole time just based on how long it took him to write. maybe he thought it was smarter than it was
Gabrus, my advice for the Wheel of Time? Walk away.
You guys should do a Dark Tower review actually, it’d be fun. Stanger nails it, starts slow, gets good, falls apart.
5000!
The Boyz got too high/angry/CTE'd to upload the bonus episode
Ballad of Bilbo bagging is a banger gabrus
I like the part when he just says "I want to fuck you, and fuck you, and fuck you." Really drives the point home
He makes a good point
I heard Vail too Stanger, it's bullshit they don't validate him enough
I hate myself
ABZ Library -- 5 books added: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/162873.The_Action_Boyz_Library
Gabrus said Wheel of Time series is boring, so it didn't get added.
No more voice mails from anyone but Devon.
Gotta love a Frankenstein movie where the creature is standing in the doorway after 13 minutes. I've never revisited The Dark Tower, but I distinctly remember throwing the last book across the room after I finished it. It's burned into my brain as the moment I stopped reading every Stephen King book I could get my hands on.
I did the Dark Tower audiobooks and it took for fucking ever, agree that the end was dumb but like after all that how can you end it and everyone be happy?
The power just got turned off at my pad, but now I’m ready to get turned on.
DRINKIT!!!
