Bullitt (1968)
You guys ever heard of this movie, BULLITT? Y’all should definitely check it out - it’s got an amazing car chase. Also we think this McQueen guy might have something special.

Hell yeah
everyone knows its super NINTENDO chalmers. get it together ffs
I shaved my armpits when I first got hair there and they're still patchy to this day.
Just came here to point out that this thread had 69 posts....until I commented.
Nice Fillmore posters on the wall.
Did anyone see Chester Hank’s “The Truth About Growing Up As A Hanks”? I’d love the Actionboyz take!
Haven't rented movie yet so I only listened to start of show. 2 things though. - It was great to hear Rodgers on Celebrity Sighting. That new stitcher podcast has been a riot, every episode is so f'ing funny. - If anyone wants more Burt Reynolds talk, Celebrity Book Club did an ep on him and Loni. Plus he appears on the Sally Fields' episode, they mention Burt at min 54ish if you dont want to hear full ep.
“You need a good rat sensei with a gun” …. Brilliant
Did Carl's Jr ever have the Sourdough Frisco Burger like Hardee's did, or would that have been laughed off the menu on the west coast? Those things were the shit in the nineties.

"Do you guys like big apples in your face?"
Stanger literally was brain dead and he repeats stories less than Rog and Gabrus.
Gotta think Mike Hammer is the first “Frank Bullitt”-style name.
Would Simon Templar / The Saint work for this or is that a stretch. If not, I think Sam Spade kills a drifter with a shovel in the director's cut of Maltese Falcon.
HboMax interface is truly garbage—let’s make our surprisingly decent content difficult to find and worse to browse.
The Friends of Eddie Coyle is currently available on kanopy for any other library card holding members of the action faction.
Great book/movie. Coogan's Trade/Killing Them Softly are also great.
Stanger’s music history corner is still a complete 10 out of 10 (nice Bag O’ Nails drop👍), but his pop music love just warms my soul in a different way! I’ve seen Beyoncé 6 times in concert, I’m definitely the Stanger of my group!
Great episode Stanger was really on for this one and I love all the old Hotel stories from Rodgers.
I mean extremely large apple chat is all fine and good but I haven’t heard shit about salads in ages.
Stanger is all I know!!!!
Nothing but Trouble was on tv all the time during the summers on like, UPN or something growing up and yeah. I have seen it multiple times but even when it was on as a kid I was like "is this even good?" But now I'm probably going to rewatch it too.
I'm good for a Stouffer's Salisbury Steak with Mac & Cheese once or twice a year. Throw that baby in the oven for 35 minutes at 350, otherwise you're cheating the delicacy. Cut film to vent.
I feel bad for Mr. Ragnoni’s kids cause I know they’re Shadow Wolves.
Tony?

Brian Cox book removed, Bruce Lee book added
This is my first time watching bullitt. For half the movie I thought a plot line existed where McQueen was sleeping with the shot up cop’s wife. So many weird glances and looks between characters.
My laundry mat in Hayes Valley was called "Don't Call It Frisco". Now it is a French bistro that's 'temporarily closed' if you want to know the trouble with that city.
Stanger tells the story about seeing a really big apple at around the hour 40 mark if you wanna just skip to the best part of the ep. Around the time they start talking about the first scene of the movie
I really changed my expression during the silence afterward
Did you know that blonde eyebrow guy from Karate Kid is Steve McQueen’s son, Chad?
On a Shadow Wolves ep they discussed how Chad McQueen was too busy to participate in the Cobra Kai reunion because he was "too busy with McQueen Racing".
Stanger has done it again! Another wonderful episode. A little secret…STANGER IS MY FAVORITE!
I love it when the Boyz do movies from the 60’-70’s.
An hour in before Stanger even attempts to land this sucker. We are truly blessed boyz and girlz
Wonder if this will be the oldest ABZ film. All I can think of that would be older would be Dirty Dozen, Great Escape or older war films.
Seven Samurai (‘54) could be fun
Steve Mcqueen was agoraphobic?
Another Friedkin audiobook mention and it’s still not available anywhere. Anyone else find it?
Dude threw it up on the subreddit for a bit. That's where I grabbed it.
I got one of those electric coffee warmer things after seeing Bullitt in my 20's, they're definitely scary and weird cuz they make sparky noises and shit.. trashed it after a couple days
HBO MAX has the worst subtitles of any service I've seen. They take up half the screen and are often slightly out of sync.
What is the origin of the Paul McCartney shaving bit?
In the Beatles documentary, George goes on a rant about how Paul was always shaving in the sauna and throwing water on the rocks.
The apple chapter of Michael Pollan's Botany of Desire is pretty cool. The whole book is fantastic.
Turtlenecks are definitely a car chase in this movie.
What even IS this movie?
this ain't no ROTOR
Long live the turtleneck
I went to goodwill and found a sweet turtle neck after this
This car embodies everything I love about cars. Too bad it’s been run into the ground by dipshit geezers building $100k replicas.
I think the term Rodgers is thinking of is called debadging.
Definitely. I had a friend who studied abroad and was into cars, and thought it was fascinating to tell us all how it was common practice over there for anyone with a nicer car to take off the names and logos. It was the first time I heard the term debadging.
