Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)

Hell yeah

About the best pitch anyone's ever given me for why I should watch the Buffy TV show is something like this: "Okay, it starts off a little slow, but then it picks up in the second season, and then it's REALLY good for the next season and a half. Then it slows down, the next couple seasons aren't very good, the final season is all right, and the ending is okay. It's my favorite show ever."

I want to see a serious A24-type horror drama about a totally normal dude that has to resist becoming a supervillain after an entire lifetime of being treated like shit because his (also totally normal) parents gave him just the shittiest, most comically evil name. Like, can Hitler Dahmer Kane grow up to do something completely normal with his life, or is he forever cursed to be a future X-Men villain?

We had a female gym teacher so we used the locker room showers to get high and smoke cigs

Has any other movie done so much to takeover a name? No more Buffys for awhile after this.

Just on the topic of jizz, Twilight made it canon that vampires' contain some

lol @ Rodgers saying that "it'll take generations" until we stop thinking of the other sex naked when locker rooms are brought up. We're human bud it's ok, women do it too

I was about to comment on Gabrus’ dad, Stanger’s intelligence and Rodgers’ dyslexia…but I’m just gonna hang back.

For a young me, Career Opportunities was much more informative than Buffy.

Pee-wee Herman dying at the end really was the funniest part of this movie. When he’s kicking the wall I’ll admit I lol’d

Been dealing with prostatitis for a few years now and Rodgers is right, it’s no joke. There’s a weird anxiety angle to it that’s hard to really explain to anyone who’s never had it.

that Sam Elliott WTF is fucking beautiful. He even talked about future Shadow Wolves movie LIFEGUARD ..and took a shit on Power Of The Dog on the way out ahahha

Luke Perry’s son Jack wrestles in AEW as “Jungle Boy” and is currently one half of the tag team champion “Jurassic Express” along with “Luchasaurus”. He’s been one of their biggest “home grown” young stars. He’s dating a young lady who is also a wrestler for AEW. Things seem to be going well for him.

Also, heard so many pee wee jokes or comments as a kid. I simultaneously learned that pee wee wasn't a real person, people jerk off, some people jerk off in movie theaters, and that jerking off in movie theaters was illegal. It was a lot to take in.

I was really hoping this ep would start with "this movie is a blast or this movie rocks". Especially after reading a review of the blu ray on Monday morning, considering buying it as I saw it so much as a young kid w/ older sisters. The blu ray review was not kind to the movie itself, I'm like, whatver this reviewer has different taste. Then I listen to the episode :( Maybe I won't rewatch to avoid disappointment, but kinda want to just to see for myself.

I paid COD once for a delivery back in the early 90s.

Diarrhea guy suddenly too busy to post?

Righteous Gemstones also shits on janitors, I couldn't tell if it was sincere or not. Is it for real? It seems so weird to make fun of low wage workers lmfao

I strongly suspect the football hazing incident Gabrus is referring to took place in 2003 and involved pinecones being shoved into anuses. Some kids from my high school in PA attended that camp.

I share Stanger’s Bunnicula love! I wrote Bunnicula fan fic when I was a kid😂

Kind of a bummer Gabrus left mid-episode. He's the emulsifier that brings together the oil and vinegar of Stanger and Rodgers.

Something about it being tricky to do psy experiments on humans 🖖

I’m betting Pally stole Rodgers joke

By the river in Pittsburgh here, so they aren't lying about the stats.

Never seen this movie and I never will but I love this podcast.

I got a Mac DeMarco story. I used to be a bouncer and worked one of his shows. So in TX not only do all sales of alchohol stop at 2 am but all the open containers have to be thrown away. So we walk around with trash cans and tell people finish up and throw em out. Well this prick DeMarco is on the floor drinking a beer and I tell him hes gotta finish. I walk around and come back to him, giving him some time. Hey man toss the beer. He starts giving me shit. Mocking me. Making a big deal out of it. Now I dont give a fuck who this guy is. When Snoop Dogg was hanging out in this venue I made him throw away his beer. So I snatch it from him and toss it. He tries to bow up to me and I just give him that bouncer look and he thinks better of it. Fuck Mac DeMarco.

The takeaway from correcting people in general is ‘tend to your own puke pile.’

I was in middle school (6th to 8th) around ‘92 and not only did we have to take showers after gym class, we had to “prove” to our teacher we did. Nothing creepy, just threw some water in our hair and that was usually good enough. A tough, insecure age for shared showers though.

The only thing I remember from this movie is the same shitty humor can be found 20 years later in The Avengers, and even 30 years later in non-Whedon, shitty Star Wars and Marvel shows.

JASSSSSS KING👏👏👏

Pee Wee had a pretty impressive comeback at the 1991 VMA’s. “Heard any good jokes lately?”.

Shout out to Galleria Mall. I would drive an hour to get there from my podonk town in Niagara County just to spend 10 bucks, because I had nothing better to do.

there's a scene where Buffy's boobs are referred to as "yabbo's" this verbiage only existed in 90's movies/tv, right? what even is a yabbo

More Ghouliverse talk please

I want a cut of this movie where Sutherland accidentally kills Buffy in the girls locker room.

Im the washed up stuntman/failed wrestler they mentioned. I have a cool pacino story and a wild david gordon green story but gotta wait for topical moment.

over two hours to get to Centauri, amazing

I'm sure all my fellow mid 30's action gurlz can agree that this was THE sleepover movie of my pre teens. I don't remember anyone liking it, I just remember it was always there. Then I remember the TV series absolutely blowing my little mind and completely forgetting about the movie. Gonna listen now and try not to pause every 5 minutes to comment.

"She's dumb, you can just do whatever you want". -- Ben Rodgers at 2:25:45. Sounds pretty bad out of context.

Thots experiment

(Pause episode) everyone’s comment on here is so five minutes ago.

All the old school mall talk about Pacific Sun, Spencer's, and Brookstone. Surprised there was no talk about the attempts to make nature cool with rain sticks, animal puppets, and large-ass crystals sold at Natural Wonders.

Goddamn this episode is good. Thanks ABZ

(Pause episode) I wish the action boys would do my turn by turn directions!!!

The Conners on ABC tried doing COVID stories. People were constantly entering buildings with a mask on, only to immediately take it off so they can talk to 69 year old John Goodman. It’s probably the worst show with the most seasons on tv.

Weeping in my cheeto pool, looking scornfully at my well-used miter saw, wondering where it all went so wrong.

What even is this month? Octooky?

Does anyone know if Ben is still entertaining doing a F1 podcast? His enjoyment of Netflix’s Drive to Survive got me fully on board last season. Also - after the Boyz got me into Reacher last week, I finally decided to dig into Bosch. Downed the first two seasons in a week. Great show and yet another great recommendation from this podcast.

I unironically love this movie. As Stanger would say... don't yuck my yum.

Back over three hours. Our long national nightmare is over!

hey action men: they just added Clearcut to Shudder AND it’s a buck on amazon. i’d looooove to hear y’all cover it on the pod. please?

Do other countries arrest folks for jerking off in porn theaters? That always felt like prime American weirdness to me.

This movie might have sucked, but that Gemstones ending made up for it.

Stanger killed me with the “waves” joke. He really is the best one, I love Stanger so much 💚
