Next of Kin (1989)

When Jon talked about southern dockers I cried laughing

Hell yeah

Liam Neeson on equal pay https://youtu.be/fBW2i7Jbefw

I know I’ve been listening to this show a long time that now *I* can’t hear the words “pizza parlor” without hearing it in Gabrus’ father’s voice.

Rodgers, you should keep the humming bird feeder up as a food source for bees. They could use the fuel

Thanks to Rodgers for getting me into the F1 show on Netflix. It’s great!

Stangers MD/Michael Douglas joke in the Blow Out ep made my week!

This is a weird thing to note, but this is the second Patrick Swayze movie in which you’ve bagged on the 5.0 mustang. It’s a charming POS lol

Anybody got the hot goss on who the actor talking loudly on the phone in cafes is? I love these blind items

Being from Louisville, KY, the home of Papa Johns Pizza until they booted Papa and moved the headquarters to Atlanta and removed the Papa John name from the University of Louisville football stadium. The best representation of Kentucky movies would be Lawn Dogs, one of Sam Rockwell’s first roles , Cameron Crowe’s Elizabethtown, where Kirsten Dunst teaches Orlando Bloom how to correctly say “Louisville” on the plane and The Insider about the cigarette whistle blower. Also I was a server at Planet Hollywood in Beverly Hills in 1998 and Curtis Armstrong came in a lot and was very cool. And all those movie props in the restaurant were fuckin’ fake and made for the restaurants!

The Beatles Frank Sinatra song is “Something”

Hey action Boyz was that a tease with the goragon or are you torturing us? Stanger I know you’ve never met the goregon but please be on our side. Bring back goregon !

ABZ casually refusing to call this guy by his chosen name is kinship to me

I’ve never seen this movie, but it sounds a lot like the early 70’s pure bonkers action film “Prime Cut” with Lee Marvin and Gene Hackman. It’s very ABZ and must be seen to be believed. Prime Cut is nothing but endless juicy dialogue and insane scenes one after the other.

No diarrhea everyday?

Was anyone else sad that Stanger got stuck with Gerald?

All parts of Honeysuckle are toxic to dogs. It might be a good idea to remove it just in case Delphi does decide to eat some someday. When ingested, it combines with stomach acid and turns into cyanide.

I've always been confused about the confusion around the Seagal movies, because as a kid I thought it was pretty easy to remember who he was in which movie, but then listening to the discussion this episode it struck me: The Danish title for Above The Law WAS just Nico. The movie was just called Nico. You know, the one where he's Nico. I mean that's just great marketing. Almost as good as when they translated Die Hard With a Vengeance into Die Hard.. Mega-Hard.

Always enjoy an ABZ Chicago title. My fam went to see the Twins play at the new Comiskey Park in 1991. On the way out we walked by the fenced off demolition site of the old park. My cousin lifted up the fence and I scooted under to grab a souvenir brick. Some Sox fans noticed and I spent 5 minutes chucking bricks to dozens of South Siders. Great town, even though I strongly dislike most of their teams.

So the boyz like the way Parler sounds. I can hear those right wing patreon floodgates cracking open.

The Yellow Sea (2010) isn't streaming anywhere, but it's worth the rental.

Every ABZ blind item has to eventually get back to the person they are talking about, right? Also, Ted Levine was a nice surprise/bright spot in this one.

Quincy Jones story: about 10 years ago, I worked at a university in the Middle East; for some reason, QJ came to campus & did a Q&A. Students were picked to ask questions, which were all basically "did you know you would be famous?", so QJ slowly began to rant instead of answering the questions. It culminated in him talking about how excited he was to partner with Chinese companies for digital music distribution, because, and I quote: "Over there, they're not afraid to kill online music pirates."

I wonder is Lawy knows whatever happened to Gawy Coopah

Shout out to the other movies titled Next Of Kin that don't suck: Next Of Kin 1982, a really creepy Australian horror and Next Of Kin 1985 aka The New Kids that stars James Spader as drug dealing street tough and Lori Loughlin. Quality stuff. Great episode, thanks!

https://bloodknife.com/everyone-beautiful-no-one-horny/ RS Benedict is a woman. Her name is Raquel.

Hey, I’m a Bluegrass boy! Great episode. The country folk in this got some real quaker village vibes lol. So much Old-Style in this movie... sponsorship? Much love from Harrodsburg.

Shout out to Lucky Pizza in Dublin, CA (it’s long gone). A true pizza parlor. Full bar, cigarette vending machine, smelled like smoke and hot pee. Fist place I ever played Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat. Better times. Great episode. Later.

Unless he was coming from the very western edge of Kentucky the bulk of Truman’s trip to Chicago would’ve been through Indiana so he very well could’ve stopped at Indy’s house and got the hat from the dog….[foams at the mouth]

Would love a salad section on the next Shadow Wolves. When they told me about fried onions on a salad it blew my mind, more salad tips and talk plz. Also one of the boys mentioned ordering a special salad bowl can we get more details on that?

Shout out to Coraline and Kubo! I build sets at Laika Studios. Maybe I will try to steal something for Stone, lol.

Never saw this one. More of a Don Swayze man, myself.

Adam Baldwin's like ten years older than Affleck. Baldwin was probably in Full Metal Jacket when Affleck was doing Voyage of The Mimi

I feel like Stanger is the only one of the Boyz who would politely tolerate me.

I’m basically Stanger. I’m huge like Stanger. I’m a big muscle head. I love Stanger!!!!! Have you guys seen JAWS?

I remembered the extra Gabrus was talking about. His name was "GAWY", not "LAWY" but yes he took insane shits, much like improv luminary Del Close. 1 out of 5 users found this interesting.

Man, Us was so close to a home run. The first 45ish minutes are amazing, but it starts to apply the premise on too large a scale and tried too hard to explain the underground world, which poked a bunch of holes in it.

As a poor rat bastard son-of-a-bitch who eats a salad every goddamn day for lunch, I'll welcome that shadow wolves episode.

Here's a pretty interesting/depressing article about the men-only hotel from the opening: https://newrepublic.com/article/161808/ewing-annex-hotel-housing-crisis-chicago

I miss the Pizza Hut lunch buffet

Absolutely foaming, turgid and sweaty when the Boys talk about my beloved Chicago. I love it. Also because of work I have driven from Chicago to Paducah, KY and Louisville, KY a few times each. The most recent trip was to Louisville in early December and was blesséd to have the Trespass episode knock 3 hours off the drive time.

Gorgar rules, I'll post a video of what it sounds like on Community tab

Whoever released this in Denmark in '89 tried to cash in on Dirty Dancing by renaming it DIRTY FIGHTING, and every few months when I'm drunk enough I come pretty close to blowing $30 on a poster. https://www.nordicposters.com/movieposter/Next-of-Kin-posters

Man Stan Winston did some great animatronics with the children in this movie. Sure they’re a little stiff. But for the time, you’d never know the kid shooting arrows or the girl playing violin when Helen Hunt gets attacked were actually robots!

Don't think anyone else has mentioned this so just wanted to clarify that the author of that Blood Knife article, R.S. Benedict, is a woman

A couple articles about Hillbillies in Chicago in the midcentury. This is one of the most fascinating things about this city that I wouldn't have known about without this movie. https://www.wbez.org/stories/uptowns-moment-as-a-hillbilly-heaven/30865527-ab8a-4432-a637-14c4f614f424 https://www.chicagomag.com/city-life/january-2012/chicagos-hillbilly-problem-during-the-great-migration/ .

Sometimes the stars align and you get amazing chemistry between everyone in the cast. This movie is the exact opposite of that

Me watching this movie (and listening to the podcast,) "his name's like my name!"

Did anyone else get sad when Stanger didn't know where Chicago is?

Horror movies are so long these days because there’s a legal requirement to have a 20-30 minute section where several characters turn to camera and have a frank discussion about how the movie is actually about gentrification, trauma, or the nature of grief.

For whatever reason, I love this movie. Looks forward to this ep.

Ben’s description of the feud fight sounds like the average Scottish taxi queue at chucking out time on a Friday or Saturday night. 😄
