Hey ABz, which action movie president would be the best for dealing with our shitty society right now?
Gabrus has high&mighty, Stanger has Dumbells, what would be Rogers' solo/ABZ-adjacent podcast?
Formula One
When watching 10 to Midnight I was really taken by Lisa Eilbachers performance as Bronsons daughter, I found her character very charming and it raised the stakes for me at the end. Do you Boyz have any single performance that elevates a film like that for you?
We gotta figure this thing out (for everyone). What do you think about this statement?
What’s the craziest sibling rumble you ever got into over limited family resources you had to “share”, like having only one TV, brand name cereal coming into the house once a year, ect… btw, I tried to dip my toe into some other “highly recommended” action movie pod waters and all I can say is… lord please keep the Action Boyz safe, alive and healthy. They weren’t just bad, it was cringe!
Can we cover the HEAT 2 novel in September?
Came on here to post about Heat 2 as well!
I miss stangerbot…
Favorite wrestler entrance music?
I was re-listening to the Pumping Iron episode, and found those Greg Capullo art lessons from Wizard Magazine that Rodgers was talking about: http://www.armelimonline.com/uploads/1/2/6/5/12651186/81786503-75857898-wizard-magazine-krash-course-greg-capullo.pdf
Did the Boyz ever watch No Time To Die and weigh in on it? What are your thoughts on the Daniel Craig era of Bond movies? Casino Royale is my favorite Bond movie, so I was pumped at the beginning of his run. Quantum of Solace was fine. Not as good, but still enjoyable. But starting with Skyfall, they got their head stuck way up their ass about how important Bond's story is, and I just lost interest and became increasingly disappointed. I'm in the minority, but I hated Skyfall, and I consider it the worst Bond movie despite its objective quality. Sam Mendes and Thomas Newman are the worst contributors to the Bond franchise, in my opinion. I look forward to them getting back to the old formula and stop trying to make movies that are so goddamn precious.
Hey ActionBoyz, Your listener from Japan here. I have some experience with the pro-wrestling (puro-resu) scene here since my brother (around 40yo) is a wrestler here and trained under Tajiri, who the listeners will remember from ECW and WWF Attitude Era. Tajiri’s signature move, of course, is spitting green mist (‘Asian Mist’) into the opponents face, temporarily blinding them—A tribute to the legendary Great Muto. One of the mysteries in the industry was where the mist came from, and whether or not Tajiri has it in his mouth the whole match or if he sneaks it in right before performing the move. It is no secret in his Dojo. Every match he fills up a condom with the green mist and ties it up. This stays in his mouth for the entirety of the match until he breaks the condom by forcefully biting into it. If you’re wondering why a condom, its for practical reasons—you can find them virtually every when on the road touring, and condoms are strong enough that they usually won’t break in your mouth until you purposely bite into it. Unfortunately I’m not a pro-wrestler myself, however, I did face Tajiri in a chicken wing eating contest. He kicked my ass. Can’t wait for the ABZ Japan tour!
Okinawa pro wrestling was one of the most fun things I saw in Japan.
Are you Boyz watching Yellowstone?
Which wrestler would you guys want to go drinking with? They're all psychos and have amazing stories
What insurance website can I find this documentary on?
Pretty sure it's on Prime.
I’m new and the pod has made me watch a bunch of movies I’ve either missed or haven’t seen in two decades! The Taking of Pelham 123 (1974) is one of my new favorites. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the 1995 Mortal Kombat, it’s got a big weird place in my heart!
Matrix Resurrections—your thoughts? 👍🏽 or 👎🏽?
Instagram has suggested I follow Liver King. Wondering if any of you guys have thoughts on his insane diet? My favorite video of his so far is how he sleeps on basically a wood pallet based mattress because this more closely mimics ancient ancestors sleeping on the ground....if you ignore him sleeping inside a house with normal blankets surrounded by modern conveniences. Also I have started reading some of his comments and outside of the occasional fruit he seemingly eats no fibrous foods. Seems insane.
Does he want diverticulitus? Cuz that is how you get diverticulitus.
The consensus seems to be that Steven King has a hard time ending his stories, so which Steven King book do you think has the most satisfying ending, or the ending that fulfills the premise of the book the best?
11/22/63. His son supposedly helped him with the ending. Pet Sematary had a good ending too, matched the bleakness of the novel
Did you get a chance to check out the Macgruber series on Peacock? I agree with Gabrus that Macgruber and Popstar are the funniest movies of the past couple decades. I felt that the Macgruber series was just as hilarious and ridiculous
The opening scene with the prison was so goddamn funny
Hey just wondering what you guys thought of cobra kai season 4 with Terry silver coming back and if Stanger and stone finally started watching it?
yes this rocks! hoping the other wrestling fans here don’t jump down your throats for every minor factual inaccuracy y’all say. that would be major loser behavior that they should be ashamed of! 😘
Russell Mulcahy, director of the first two Highlander films, directed the video for Bette Davis Eyes. 0/3 found this interesting.
It's still real to me, damnit!
Question: I'm a lifelong Midwesterner going on a California vacation for the first time. Besides the redwood forest, what are some must see locations and places to eat? Should I go to the New Beverly? Comedy Store? I dig the Hollywood stuff but would like to avoid the tourist traps. Thanks 🖖 P.S. it will be a week long trip, assume no location is off limits. I want take in as much California as possible. Yes I plan to be driving a lot.
Hollywood Boulevard is gorgeous.
Will this be the saddest thing ever covered on ABz? Yes, yes it will.
Until they do Death Wish 5
Curious for Yellowjackets thoughts! My new obsession
Oh man, awesome! All the Jake Roberts stuff in this is tremendous, in particular him musing on becoming the dictator mayor is incredible post-Trump. I'm curious if any of the ABz ever checked out AEW, since it is kinda WCW with a bunch of the PWG dudes.
They should. It's great. I trained with Ricky Starks a couple times and Sammy Guevara is a local boy.
Wow I haven't seen this in years! Forgot it existed but I definitely remember being so excited to see it.
I'll double down on my question for last month, why not: Rodgers mentioned reading Chomsky a couple Wolves back. I just read Chomsky's great Manufacturing Consent and I gotta ask: what are the Boyz favorite political/historical/philosophical books??
Fuckin'.. hell yeah.
I was 13 when this movie came out. I just remember watching it and it being completely eye opening. I watched WWF stuff at the time and just the idea that it was destroying their bodies/lives was shocking.
I’m just here so I don’t get fined…
Action Boyz liking our boy Eric Roberts on Righteous Gemstones? Loving the year of sequels theme
I shared this lvl C anecdont before but I assume the Boyz dont read many comments. I have a little experience with pro_wrestling. I'm a 44 year old washed up stuntman and current janitor. Years ago I shot something at a wrestling school. I ended up making friends with some of the wrestlers. There's some crossover between movie stunts and pro-wrestling obviously. I had some background in grappling so I started training to become a pro-wrestler. I did not succeed. It was ten times harder than anything I ever did. I trained greco-roman wrestling, bjj and boxing for fifteen years. Never got hurt once. Two years training for pro graps and I got wrecked. These people destroy themselves. Over and over day in and day out. It is wild. You have to be a maniac. The biz is incredibly shady so you also have to be at least a little shady too. My bump card filled up fast and I am basically a sack of broken glass now. I got to do one spot in front of a crowd. I just got clotheslined and layed out. It looked awesome and the reaction of the 20 people watching was exhilirating. I totally see why these lunatics do it. Five stars
You had posed the question about what the different terms are for when talking to a sex worker. A Half and Half is when you pay a prostitute to perform intercourse and follow it up with oral sex. A hat is a condom. A one way is when you save nothing for the swim back.
What’s around the world
Do the ABZ listen to any old/retired wrestlers' podcasts? Chris Jericho and Jim Ross have/had decent podcasts. Interesting to hear wrestlers gossip on their old colleagues and industry.
Ever since Stone Cold quit his podcast I haven’t listened to any wrestler interviews podcasts. But I do listen to Colt’s new one, We Watch Wrestling, Wrestle Roasts and the Masked Man show.
What are the Actionboyz manifesting for 2022?
Any of the Boyz still watch wrestling? Probably a redundant question
He’s gonna puke!!!
That poor bastard.
