I know you guys have every movie on this on a list for …who knows?… but is there a chance at some point you might cover Dead Heat with Treat Williams and Piscopo? Octooky is right around the corner.
As creative types who paid their dues in New York, do you guys have any strong feelings on the movie Francis Ha?
This man is the often parodied action boyz listener https://vimeo.com/85499184
I think my favorite running gag is Drebin crashing everytime he parks. So simple. So great. Makes me laugh every time.
Did you guys ever watch "Patriot" on Amazon. I thought it was amazing and I wish they kept making it. So funny. Great characters.
Are any of the Action Boyz watching “Chapelwaite?” As a fellow Stephen King freak, I recommend this series. Maybe a return to form for Adrien Brody—a great choice for the Captain Boone character. Has anyone revisited the short story “Jerusalem’s Lot” from Night Shift? Chapelwaite is a pretty accurate adaptation as far as I can remember. Note: it’s streaming on Epix, which I hadn’t heard of either. Available through Amazon.
Sportstember is upon us! Can we get a little sports diet this month? I want to hear what teams/leagues y'all are excited about this year.
Rodgers please talk about F1 more. DTS got me last season and I’m fuckin obsessed. 2021 season is incredible so far.
Have you guys seen Paul Schrader’s “The Card Counter”? Great film. Must-see. Oscar Isaac nails it.
Finally got to go back to a theater. Went to see the new Candyman. Any Thoughts!? from the Boyz? I liked it but having not been in the public in 18 months my people tolerance is gone now so the theater experience was rougher then I expected.
Great choice of movie. Would love to see you guys do first blood.
The Naked Gun is free on YouTube Movies.
Please take a look at the chet hanks documentary trailer, it feels like a comedy sketch I cant wait for the full thing to release. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FtL86YG220
Big ups
nice beaver
“Thanks, I just had it fingered”
Serious question: Did you guys watch the latest episode of Vice’s “Dark Side of the Ring”? Ric Flair commiting sexual assault on the plane ride from hell.
James Wan’s batshit-crazy campfest Malignant. Thoughts?
Fuck yes
Have the boyz read any of the books in the Wild Cards series? I like the grittier, "low fantasy" take on the superhero genre. The audiobooks are also great, with some appearances by actionboyz favs. Clancy Brown makes an especially menacing performance that really stuck with me.
I fucking love Wild Cards
I just watched the trailer for 10-Year Old Tom and I was pleasantly surprised to see Ben Rodgers' name appear. I loved The Life and Times of Tim back in the day so I am excited. Here is my question. Get Dildarian to do an episode of Action Boyz to promote the show.
Mark your calendars. https://www.juliensauctions.com/about-auction?id=385 Can't tell whether the Boyz should bid on the "complete Gianni Versace designed costume and a helmet and face cast from Judd Dredd" or "a collection of knives from the first three" Rambo movies...too bad the Rocky IV Italian Stallion warmups aren't here.
This show has really broken my brain. Sleigh Bells has a great new song called "Justine Go Genesis." It rocks, but there's a point where the singer keeps repeating "Now I've got my ticket to ride!" and I can't listen to it without hearing it in Rodgers' voice.
It is a garbage song.
Pain relief question for the boyz. As the Stanger of my friends, I have been in pain since I hung up both the Cleats and the Singlet in 2007. After years of struggling to pick up my kids I just started going to a chiropractor. I know Stanger just told that story of that girl getting her neck snapped. But do you guys have any good chiropractor experiences? I’ve suffered from back spasms since I was 14 and really hoping this finally gives me some relief.
Upcoming films you're excited for?
Boys please show your favorite salad bowls and give some salad recipes/examples for the janitorial staff.
I know we all miss the erotic thrillers of the nineties. Have you seen The Voyeurs on Amazon?
Baseball caps: Forwards or backwards?
I mostly wear it forwards unless I’m about to arm wrestle someone then I flip that son of a bitch backwards so they know I’m not fucking around.
Unsolicited movie recommendation: STRANGER ON THE RUN (1967). Great TV western directed by Don Siegel starring Henry Fonda as the titular stranger who comes to a railroad town and starts to ask questions about a local woman who recently disappeared. All points to a revenge situation but there's a twist... Typically lean direction by Siegel, but first and foremost recommended because one of the gunslingers chasing Fonda, played by Michael Parks, simply HAS TO be the blueprint for the part that Leo plays in the western within the film in ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD.

Almost all the teachers at my high school had the OJ trial on their classroom TVs when the verdict was read. OJ getting off lead to at least 3 fights at lunch that day. What’s the most inappropriate thing your high school participated in?
I remember walking between classes and them announcing the verdict over the school intercom.
“In his book OJ Simpson says that he would have taken a bullet or stood in front of a train for Nicole. Man, that is some bad luck, when the one guy that would have died for you, kills you.” RIP Norm
“Sexual assault with a concrete dildo?”
I saw this movie when it was new and I think that line was the funniest thing I’d heard in my life up to that point.
Arnold would be a terrible Logen Ninefingers. Too bulky, too pretty. Logen is lean and ugly.
What is a “Modern Western” movie to you guys? Do you think it’s more like Unforgiven and Tombstone, or more like No Country For Old Men and Hell or High Water?
The latter 2, for me. The others are classic style westerns made recently. 3:10 to Yuma is another I’d put in that class, which is more obvious since it’s a remake. Still great, though.
New subscriber of a couple months. Cool show. You should do Nixon. Whatever happened to Filmfan?
He lives on in all of us.
What are some of your favorite Norm MacDonald jokes/memories? This one has stuck with me since 1994, “Kenny G has a Christmas album out this year. Hey, happy birthday Jesus! Hope you like crap!”
The Larry King interview segment when Norm stated he was closeted was the first thing I showed to my lady when I tried to explain why I loved his humor. That one hit. Others, not so much. She accuses me of being closeted all the time, so maybe her laughter was more about our situation. My best friend, Gary, who lives with us was uncomfortably silent during and after that clip. It’s actually been pretty tense in the old household for the last two days. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vnmplSPgwEQ
At fucking last ...bless you action boyz
💚Stanger is my favorite 💚
Fuck, marry, kill: The Action Boyz. Better game or movie name?
Fuck, Marry, Kill: Stanger Gorgon, Stanger Bot, and Stanger.
Any video game playing going on with the Boyz? Gabrus has mentioned Darkest Dungeon a few times on H&M and I'm pretty pumped for the sequal later this year.
As children, who were the older kids in your life you thought were cool?
Wow, after a shitty few weeks of work, this really put a smile on my face. Can’t wait!
Since its Sportstember, any sports radio hot takes for the NFL season? Or any good gambling stories, like epic wins or bad beats?
Pat Proft is a regular guest caller into the local MSP FM radio Power Trip Morning Show. Or at least he was, I haven't listened to it for years.
He did a Q&A at The Heights theater following a screening of “Wrongfully Accused” in July. Couldn’t make it, but I heard it was great.
Fuck yes! I’m 39 and will still drunkenly yell “Enrico Pollazo saved the queen!” In public. You would be surprised how many people will join in chanting “Enrico Pollazo!” in unison. I live in Milwaukee, so it’s almost exclusively around drunks. We’re an easy crowd to sway into chanting bullshit. Regardless, it’s terrible fun.
Here for the OJ bits…
And Enrico Pallazo, of course
Will the boyz ever redo episodes from the high and mighty feed: predator, big trouble little china.
Circling ever closer to Hot Shots Part Deux. It's a perfect distillation of every ABZ reference, into a tight, kinda bad 86 minutes. Valeria Golino is a smoke and a half. Primo Shadow Wolves material.
Plus, so many Charlie Sheen AZT references to make
What music have you guys been listening to recently? And recs?
When I was in high school in the early 2000s I used to be a very low level hacker. In the cafeteria at lunch I'd sell passwords to porn paysites for a few bucks each that would work for a couple days. I somehow did not realize that this would earn me a reputation as a porn freak. Oops. Have you ever done anything that you didn't realize at the time would leave a mark on your reputation?
Being a porn freak was how Jared from Subway got his start so as long as you're doing better than him you're OK
Can we please hear some grandma didi stories?
Thank you
More OJ - https://www.thestar.com/news/insight/2016/07/24/that-time-bill-cosby-and-oj-simpson-were-in-the-same-wedding-party.html
What’s the over/under on what age Leslie Nielsen was when he got his first grey pube? I’m setting the line at 29.
Police Squad! is still unavailable to stream, anywhere. But you can get the full series on dvd or Blu-ray, and they're worth it. A great show.
It's on Youtube
After watching Empire Records and High Fidelity as a teen I thought working in a record store would be the coolest job. To this day it's the most boring job I've had. Have you guys ever gotten a job you idealized and did it live up to your preconception?
This isn’t for the Boyz themselves, but for the listeners and commenters - what the fuck is wrong with you people? How can so many freaks also have such good taste in podcasting? I don’t understand, but I want to.
Speaking for myself, a crush on Lapkus from OITNB started me down the rabbit hole into the UCB LA extended universe. Yadda, yadda, now I’m a Shadow Wolf.
I really dig the Kurt Russell film Soldier. Is that something you guys might cover sometime?
UP THE CHAIN
Does Rodgers still hate Colin Farrell?
