Hell yeah
12 minutes into the Reacher tv show and I was in love with the Large Adult Son, Jack Reacher
Hard copies only, ok.
Heyo can anyone tell me what shadow wolves they cover the Joe Eszterhas book Hollywood Animal? I know it’s mentioned in Feb ‘22 and maybe buffy episode. Just lookin for the full rundown…
This guy is playing reacher super weird, and it’s grown on me. Casually strolling around like robocop on patrol, and definitely on the autism spectrum.
An underrated dumb Reacher thing is casting a 5’10” woman to play Neagly. He looks normal next to her.
In college, I told my friends I was heading into town to buy drugs and asked if they wanted anything from the general store. But I was really going to the comic shop. It took me a year before I told them the truth. It was 2012 why the fuck did I care?
Speaking of old Disney movies I saw in the theater. Song Of The South. 1986
You gotta let them do their pig thing
When’s Loose Cannons?
Reacher looks like a big fucking chunkhead.
I just completed a DYI project of a Boobo replica
Here is a video of the stalking/suicidal weatherman from St Louis doing the Dan and Dave promo, it really is terrible! https://m.facebook.com/ksdktv/videos/mike-bush-ksdk-and-bob-richards-traveled-to-los-angeles-for-a-set-of-promotional/10155062247059312/
I am pretty sure I worked at the Freightliner office that was the basis of the fight club office. Most souless job I have ever had. Made sense.
Rodgers I have the transformer McDonalds french fries and Big Mac! The Batman the animated series toys were great too.
I still have the Hotcakes one, put it out with my Halloween shelf 🤘
I’ll have to check out the Power Broker for some good swimming and pool stuff.
Dunno if it is your speed Boyz, but I highly recommend Smiling Friends on HBO Max. It’s one of the funniest shows I’ve seen in a long long time, and the episodes are only 10 minutes long, with one season released so far
too shrooms energy
Weird coincidence, I was looking around a department store absent-mindedly picked up a Reacher novel (never had before) and I opened on the exact page of the scene Stanger mentioned of them finding the garment bag in the dumpster. Is this interesting? I dunno. Anyway the writing was pretty bad. Why change chapters in the middle of a scene?
I’m always terrified my phone call will be played.
The satanic killer was Roy Gutfinski, and I met him many times. He was originally from Central Maine. The first time I met him, he was just this mulleted juvenile delinquent. He dated a friend of mine and when she dumped him, he killed and ate her pets. Each other time I ran into him, he had more body modifications and was more detached from reality. A friend of mine was giving me a ride home and stopped to buy drugs from him. I was stuck in this guy's apartment, which was wallpapered in porn, dying to get home. He did some time in prison for conducting a satanic ritual that involved cutting up an underage girl (she lived) and shit, I forgot this part when I called the ABZ hotline (I'm not the original caller).
Good call made better
If you have a dog that loves to gnaw on bones but splinters them too much or otherwise has issues with them, try an elk antler or deer antler. You can get those split cut, they last way longer than bones and much less health hazards. They are a lot more pricey though
if any of you fine people have Criterion Channel, two very ABZ movies are leaving at the end of the month. https://letterboxd.com/film/the-long-goodbye/ https://letterboxd.com/film/a-touch-of-sin/ I'm not a smart man but A Touch of Sin is one of the best movies I've watched in recent memory. A different level of filmmaking. It's a political chinese film but also has so many ABZ tropes.
I hate to be the "i hate to be this guy" guy but I also desperately need attention and validation from strangers in anyway.
I hate to be that guy but… what a great episode!
Jack “sit on my face and” Reacher “for my cock”
I also read comics when you would get made fun of for reading comics even though they were definitely marketed towards me in the mid 90s. I wish I could go back in time and tell my 11 year old self that all fucking movies would be comics in my late 30s. Just to see the look on my stupid face. Then I would steal my own pogs and basketball cards.
Had a Rubbermaid full of my shameful comics in my closet as a kid/teen. I was so stupidly worried about sports friends finding them that I'd even move them to the guest room closet when they came over.
“You've done well for yourself. Got you a couch with a bunch of cupholders.” Wonder if Gabrus’ new furnishings earn the Uncle Baby Billy seal of approval.
That scene and the reveal of who plays Adult Harmon was so so good. Its gotta be up there with the Outback scene as a high for the series. Also the bus scene was top. "Shes my aunt, bitch!"
When the Boyz asked who the biggest advertising bust was my first thought was Jared for Subway, but he isn’t sports related and we already hit the quota of molestation stories in the local controversy segment.
How about Lance Armstrong.
I fuckin' love The Righteous Gemstones. Jody Hill did a weird experimental/awkward PiP commentary track on the Observe and Report Blu-ray that's worth checking out.
Is it worth it to watch the whole season of Reacher before I listen to this? Don't know if I have it in me and I want to listen to this episode soon.
The reacher talk is all at the end and you can understand most of it without watching it. I don’t think I’m gonna watch it, but enjoyed their takes on it
That cheap Amazon show feeling? Rodgers nailed it: it’s because they’re all filmed in Toronto/Vancouver. Canadian productions just feel kind of “off”
all the callers really brought the heat. great job action faction.
"November Rain" is on 'Use Your Illusion 1' ♥
Always thought it was weird to release what is ostensibly a double album as two separate albums simultaneously and naming them 1 and 2. Super pretentious and clearly shows Axel at his most megalomaniacal
The hurt feelings of the hosts regarding listener comments is getting really old. Super tired bit.
you should be called rudy instead
For all its faults (why does the town look like it’s from a video game?) I love that it includes genuine “surprise nudity” which is shockingly rare
When I was 12 or 13 my parents got me a ice cream birthday cake with an airbrush Jim Morrison holding a guitar 🥴
What hurt most is you’d asked for bloated corpse in a Parisian bath. 😢
“It’ll be smart, and it’ll make sense” The Ryan Stanger Story
Can't wait for the Pam & Tommy talk next month. Shit is great and a fun 90's time capsule. The winter soldier seems like he's half a foot shorter than Tommy Lee but he's doing a great job
I was at a birthday party this past weekend and the 50+ aged men there could not stop talking about Reacher.
Kevin Smith sucks 'Reachers' dick too, on the recent "Fatman Beyond". But Mark helps him to understand it's because it's made for guys like him 😄
Stanger was right, Estelle Getty could’ve saved Brandon Lee. Stanger’s a hero, why won’t they kiss Stanger?!
i know right i swear someone’s jealous it’s okay
How many MG of THC does it take to “come around on Jeremy Rener”? I need the dosage.
That poor lassie and the dog practically dragged his corpse through Hawkeye.
I hope the Boyz talk about Drive My Car when they see it. Outside of Titane it's easily the best 2021 movie I saw. It's long but that slow burn is extremely rewarding, as the pace forces you to focus on the detail in the incredible screenwriting, with thematic layers that blossom in some transcendent scenes. There's a kinship in there with Barry Lyndon, imo.
I can't wait to see it. The music is by Eiko Ishibashi, a composer I've really grown to like. She did the music to the recent "Blade of the Immortal" anime, and it's some of my favorite music of the last few years.
Stanger: "Even when they spend money on it, there is a cheapness to Amazon Original shows. I don't know what it is but for some reason they can't...like I can pick them out. Even the ones I like that is an Amazon Original Show." 100 percent with Stanger on this. I watched a couple episodes of Reacher and while it was fine I was absolutely thinking the same thing. And Jack Ryan got mentioned too and I watched the first season and I know they spent a ton but it just looks like they shot on a digital camera and dumped the video and just thats what made it to streaming. I don't know what it is either but it feels very not color graded and more like something a sketch team would post visually. Very weird.
There's a good post on Reddit by a dude who's worked for HBO and also Netflix, who said it's all about existing assets. Through WB, HBO has access to warehouses of old props and costumes, soundstages, good rates for background art, plus the HBO prestige bringing in better talent for cheaper. Whereas Netflix and Amazon don't have that backlog, no storage for old stuff, and have to blow a ton of budget on their stars.
For the record, I only mentioned how new Reacher is so I could say “mawdren”
Blue Collar (1977) is on Starz.
haven’t listened yet. do they talk about Blue Collar?
roy gutfinski
Good timing with the Suzy Kolber video, given Michele Tafoya’s insane heel turn
Great name
I wonder if school sleepovers are organized by two teachers who want to fuck and just need an excuse pull a work related all-nighter away from their homes. Put the kids in their sleeping bags and sneak off to the nursing station cot for a little hunka chunka.
You mean boning? The wild mambo?
Raised By Wolves is fucking wild, they're just breezing through stuff you'd expect other shows to stretch out for a full season. As long as you don't expect all the mystery shit they've set up to be resolved by the time it gets cancelled, it's awesome sci-fi junk food.
I'm glad Rodgers is into Raised By Wolves. I love the music in that show, and it has my current favorite opening credit sequence.
God Bless Suzy Kolber. She’s an absolute pro.
