Jesus christ. Worst movie ever. The stunts are the only thing good
I finally got my chicago library card yesterday, trying to do some positive things as I start the new year. I go for a stroll through the movie section and find a DVD of Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins! Did not expect my first library rental to be Remo Williams, but that is the magic of libraries, and the magic of Remo Williams.
Loved the bit about the lions getting loose in Las Vegas.
I desperately wanted the Boyz to mention ROAR 1981 https://youtu.be/cny_D50Rr44
"No animals were harmed in the making of this movie. 70 cast and crew members were." printed on the poster of ROAR
I rejoined for this. Goddamn you. Fuck it, we like ramen.
Going over the Fred Ward filmography as I was listening to this episode and found this maybe gem lol I don't know I will watch tonight https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086443/
If you want a movie that will show you the ancient art of willie toughening you have to watch Hanzo the Razor. Available on HBO Max.
How is this not a Cannon movie? Also this would be better as a Cannon movie.
It would be a shitty move, but also very funny, if ABZ skipped Tremors (at least initially) and went right to Tremors 2: Aftershocks where Ward is the star.
Stanger Bot isn’t dead. He actually stole my identity, then snapped a rich guys leg and took his house. So he’s doing just fine. Bless up. Rest in power bro. Big ups to my boy and all that shit.
My dad introduced me to Remo when it aired on a local independent station in the late 80s. I texted him about how crazy the casting of Chiun was and he wrote back, “Versatility! Joel was big stuff back then.” Goddamnit pop. Side note, he’s from the Bay Area and rented Eddie and the Cruisers (and the sequel) multiple times. Must be something in the water out there.
Mr. Stanger, sir, with all due respect I have to protest the decision to do away with Stangerbot and Gorgon. This has Rogers written all over it. He's hated them since the beginning. I love you. Best.
Stanger comedy is all about conservation of mass. If you add his new “Just Beginning” stuff at the end of the episodes, you have to remove his characters at the start. It’s just physics.
When Stanger questioned Master Yoda’s penis size for the popcorn trick, I was waiting to hear “Judge me by my size, do you?”
I made 7 of 9 spaghetti and meatballs once. Probably the proudest moment of my life, and I am a father!
That's nothing, I once microwaved a 7-11 burrito for Quark.
Never heard of this lmao. Can’t wait to watch it
Don't take the bait, they're gonna bring Stangerbot back and make us buy a bunch of collectors item bullshit of the five new and different Stangerbots until they finally bring him back regular.. but he'll have a Seinfeld mullet for a while
The Reign of The Stangerbots
Lots of talk about missing the robot and the sulfur demon. Let me just say, I don't give a fucking shit. I care about humans first.
I thought I recognized you at the Humans First rally.
Pretty solid Reagan impressions.
Had an awkward public spit take over Stanger's joke about Wilford Brimley being the same age as Culkin in Home Alone during the shooting of this.
I just started watching How To with John Wilson and its incredible!!!
My favorite show currently on tv.
I’m surprised Yoda’s Airbnb account hasn’t been shut down
Not having Bot or Gorgon feels like pulling out a half-hard dick. Just not quite ready yet
Oh no did I miss something about Craig Ferguson?
Yeah, I'm not sure what that drive-by on Craig was all about.
Just got to the Seven of Nine talk, and thought Rodgers was heading this way. But there’s a crazy butterfly effect of her casting that kinda led to Obama becoming president! https://ew.com/article/2008/01/09/obama-jeri-ryan/
Pretty cool to hear the boyz have a history in the LA parkour scene. Hoppin' rocks, sprintin' curbs. Badass.
I formally request Pink Cadillac
A great way to bypass doing problematic impressions when joking about old movies like this is what the We Hate Movies guys did when they covered Karate Kid 2 - whenever they were quoting Mr. Miyagi, they would just do Columbo
That’s hilarious, I’ve got to hear that, is it a regular podcast or a Patreon? (P.S. I only cottoned on recently that you’re the FS who worked on the Luther Strode books; I absolutely adored them, thanks for your work. 👏🏻)
Is Bernthal the closest thing to Fred Ward these days? Seems like they could play father and son. I watched this trailer for a new Bernthal movie with Shea Whigham called Small Engine Repair, DO NOT WATCH THE TRAILER it gives everything away. I went to letterbox and that's what all the reviews said, "good under the radar movie, trailer ruins it" I still want to see it but wish I hadn't seen the trailer
I kept thinking the same thing watching this. A father/son movie with those two could be great.
Eddie & the Cruisers except it’s a Shadow Wolf trying to track down StangerBot/Gorgon
I’m going to get roasted for this, for sure, but the absence of StangerBot and StangerGorgon makes this show kinda less unique and less fun. They’ve been a regular part of the show since 2016! It was an abrupt and significant casting decision that definitely leaves a mark (or a blemish); an unwelcome change, from this listener’s POV.
I don’t miss them tbh
i think Remo Williams is a good name
First AB movie I couldn't make it through, and I watched Firefox.
Wanted to recommend the Burke series of books by Andrew Vacchs. Violent and good and right up the boyz alley. Someone put me onto it in prison and I got hooked on the series. (Also the twilight series of books was huge in prison so 🤷♂️)
Guys, people are starting to freak out about no Stangerbot. Getting kind of scary. https://i.imgur.com/EQ88N3L.png
Ok, reading the name Nerf Squirter made me spit coffee on my keyboard at work. Well done.
Remo's lucky he is in NYC. If he was down in New Orleans he might have ended up being hunted by Lance Henriksen if he ever became homeless.
Reagan had Remo Williams murder everyone else his wife gave head to
Remo Williams, a tale of representation not seen since Short Circuit
Add Linda Hunt in The Year Of Living Dangerously to this hall of fame.
Weird not having gorgon
Lyle Alzado of The Cleveland Browns was in a movie called Destroyer where he gets put to death in the electric chair but returns with murderous electrical powers. Kinda like a horror version of Ernest Goes To Jail.
That also sounds like "Shocker" (1989)
Really thought this was a sci-fi movie.
It’s a horror movie about a man that can’t swim in water and he’s forced to run on top of it
In an alternate universe Dirty Dancing stars Jennifer Grey in yellow face.
The Beatles documentary made me both a Paul fan and get passive stress from his trying to wrangle them all into a cohesive unit. It’s hilarious that at the beginning there’s a warning about scenes of tobacco use yet not a word about an obviously smacked off his tits Lennon being propped up by Yoko as he’s nodding off! 😵💫
Simultaneously the most and least Korean representation on the show yet. Definitely the worst. 5 stars. Also, would never have guessed in a million years that Miss Piggy would be on Remo's dashboard at the beginning. A nice shading in of character. Clearly he's into sugaring
Clearly someone held a grudge if they couldn’t find one Korean actor. I’m still trying to work out what the Scots ever did to Mike Myers. He worked here early in his career and I think some fat bloke molested him or something if “So I Married An Axe Murderer”, “Austin Powers”, or “Shrek” are anything to go by.
The music in this movie made no sense and the racism was palpable. 5 stars!!!
Remo Williams 3 hour ep haha
My mop feels so heavy without StangerBot. RIP, sweet prince.
He finally jumped home 😢
https://www.graphicaudio.net/destroyer-series-set.html Graphic audio did the series that's where I first heard about the adventures of Remo Williams. They're done in radio drama style their tagline I think it was a movie in your mind.
