Ninja Terminator (1985)
Ninjavember is upon us. It seems to come quicker ever year. We decided to start this ninja season with a bang. NINJA TERMINATOR is by far the best film we’ve ever covered on this podcast. Enjoy or should we say eninja.

Just watched this at the Alamo in Austin, a true crowd pleaser, laughs the whole movie, could not ask for a better movie to watch in theater with a crowd 5/5
Anyone seen Ask A Ninja on Youtube? https://www.youtube.com/@askaninja
Hell yeah
No joke I took some very solid parenting advice from this episode FYI it has nothing to do with my previous comment
Absolutely love the new feature "when to nut" I found it very helpful
The scenes with Harry and his wife were a template for WandaVision.
My fav thing about this movie is the most likely unauthorized use of Pink Floyd’s “Echoes”, twice.
I recommend the brand Eton for patterned button up shirts. They come in a couple different cuts but have outstanding patterns. The quality is stellar though. In general if you’re ever shopping for a pattern shirt just look to make sure that the pattern matches up at the seams. If it doesn’t it’s a shitty garment no matter the brand on the label. I have a few dark floral prints from them that I always get compliments on and I’m 6”1 260 so in the “lineman DUI” territory. Something like this https://www.etonshirts.com/en/product/blue-twill-shirt-cut-away-single-classic
This was just barely a movie. I loved it
I’m probably not the only psycho who doesn’t watch the movie and pieces together the plot through the podcast. But man I just could not swallow the storyline on this one.
Dan, if you watch the movie (it’s on YouTube) you’ll be even more confused. Highly recommended
It’s so *schtwange*
Gabrus: A horse’s refractory period is LONG. Rodgers: Hmm. Stanger: Sure. WELCOME TO ACTION BOYZ
I have a friend who is painfully shy. One year we went to a Halloween party and he wore a ninja costume. He later told me it was the best night of his life.
This book just came out and is highly recommended for all Action Babiez...touches on this movie and Godfrey Ho, as well as our friend Sho Kosugi, and tons of other movies/performers that could populate Ninjavember for decades to come: https://mondoshop.com/products/these-fists-break-bricks
That looks awesome, gonna have to check it out!

I gotta share this for Ninjavember: https://youtu.be/ZK1PSIAvpc0
I went on a whale watching boat tour in the Puget Sound and I saw humpback whales that had learned to "beach" themselves and eat the shallower water fish, etc. They didnt entirely go on the dry land, but they were on the sides with half their body in the water, eating away.
Me at thanksgiving
This was a blast to watch. The plot feels like you’re listening to a kid playing with action figures. This is also the night I learned all the ninja sound effects drive my dog insane
I have to drive from CT to Rochester New York. This podcast will get me 2/3 of the way there. Action boyz your my hero
Bad Ronald is definitely a shadow wolf
Considering David Carradine’s cause of death it feels ironic that Caruso/Carradine were swapped in the Chris Pine CSI Miami story about putting a bag over Pine’s head.
It’s “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” rewatch week. Seeing Kevin Bacon’s character from “She’s Having A Baby” bogart Neal Page’s cab at the beginning of the movie takes on a whole new meaning this year. Happy Thanksgiving everybody.
Watch it every Thanksgiving.
East Coaster here: I've been traveling lately, and had to get up at 4 AM PST this morning, and was so pleased to see a new episode ready for me to download before my flights. Thank you Stanger for getting up so early on a week day to manually upload these episodes (which I'm positive is what happens, and it's not like scheduled on an uploading program or shit).

New York Ninja was really fun and interesting. Amazing packaging as well.
“Crawlspace” rules
Great episode! I wait for Ninjavember all year. This movie was awesome!
Explaining the plot of Bad Ronald has been my go-to “lull in conversation at work event with people I kind of know” move for at least 15 years
It feels like it's in the Zeitgeist right now, I think both Andy Daly and Auckerman have mentioned it on various podcasts recently.
Cracker Jack, the Hokey Pokey of snacks
Ninjavember has taught me, a 40 year old, white man, that, in the future, my becoming a ninja master is almost a certainty.
Has anyone tried semenax and does it work? Interested but unable to find any info on their ingredient sourcing.
Get Pine on the pod for the Undiscovered Country episode
Oops I definitely watched this whole movie thinking it was “Jaguar One”
*67 does still work to block your number. And no, I don't know anything about the mystery calls your mom gets at 10pm of heavy breathing every night.
Hey dude, you do realize you're talking to two ninjas who came up with Ninja Master Harry and Supreme Ninja in the Ninja Empire and saw their skill progress. So yeah, you don't need to explain the Golden Ninja Warrior to us.
Rodgers mentioned regional whales. This memory palace ep on whales has the craziest thing I've ever heard. Within two years of when whales started to get hunted in the 1840s they had organized defenses.
As the Action Boyz designated “Whale Guy” from The Hitman episode. It brought a tear to my eye to have so much whale talk this episode
Just started watching this, at like the 5:30 mark the music sounds almost like a straight rip from the beginning of Thief.. five years after Thief so I guess people figured out how Tangerine Dream got that sound.. or it's Thief theft "who knows"
UPDATE: ten minutes later, they're straight up using Pink Floyd's Echoes hahaaa .. maybe the boyz cover this in sauna talk I dunno

Brief as it was, thankful someone finally addressed the apple cider vinegar porn ads
Cheese corn mixed with caramel corn is clutch.
Got some real strong Legend of the Hidden Temple vibes at the end
My folks still have a turquoise see-through phone in their house. It’s a remnant from the iMac G3 era of the early Noughts; thankfully they don’t have any inflatable furniture or lava lamps, as was also the style at the time. 👴🏻
I was sure I hadn’t seen this movie, but as soon as the Garfield phone showed up it all came rushing back to me. I had watched it for the How Did This Get Made? episode years ago. Then I couldn’t wait to see my little message-delivering robot friends, delivering demands for suicide.
Rodgers, incredulous about Stanger examining a detail of the movie, 10 seconds later - “now would we say Harry’s wife is a LIAR?”
TWO YEARS LATER HONG KONG The woodland camo Shinobi shozoku itself is definitely a character in this movie
The last shot of the movie is so funny and abrupt I couldn't stop laughing 😂😂😂
pulled my groin trying to 1-inch ninja scoot across the living room
There goes No Nut Ninjavember
If you search for ninja terminator on google it auto fills “ninja terminator garfield phone”
I love this article if you want more godfrey ho context https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/ninjas-all-the-way-down-the-mysterious-world-of-godfrey-ho/
They’re being too mean to Rhyno. Leave Stanger alone. He’s my friend.
I’m kinda the Stanger of my friend group.
The last two Jaguar fight scenes (the one where he starts tied to the chair, and his 1-on-1 on the beach) are way more legit than anything I expected to find in this movie.
All the fight scenes are surprisingly great. It's just that everything else is shitty lol.
Is this movie only on Tubi? Horrible quality and no subtitles man 😥
It's on Youtube in full.
"So, anyway, back to Jaguar eating pussy" is the best segway in podcasting history.
wow Godfrey Ho! this feels like a holiday 🙏💗
All the Garfield phones are now on a french beach https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-47732553
Hell yeah man
