Shadow Wolf Movie Announcement

Catching up on episodes and Rodgers mentioned Richard Stark's Parker books, which is a great series. Does anyone have any recommendations for similarly pulpy books that aren't underwritten or overwritten?

Thanks for introducing me “Righteous Gemstones.” Best show on TV. I thought “Succession” was the best, nah, “Gemstones” just overtook it. 👍🏽👍🏽

I’m glad a few Action Boyz listeners finally got some work in Hollywood as extras in Riddlers gang of active shooters

Christian Slater as The Riddler

Gabrus, finishing up Wheel Of Time. Would you recommend the mist born series?

I hadn't seen this since it came out (I'm old) and it is the most 1990 thing I can imagine. Looking into the director a bit I found the 1980 movie Times Square. Based on the sauna talk I have a pretty good idea of why he didn't direct much else. It's mostly about how the movie was stolen from him and edited in a way he didn't like and how the producers of Saturday Night Fever were at fault somehow. He sounds like a piece of work.

Y’all reading the new collected elrics book? Pretty fun!

The Adam Project: best explanation of time travel in a film or worst?

Mayor of Kingstown is wild. Meet me by the tug boat to talk about it.

On the Deep Cover episode, the Boyz were talking about dog names - It reminded me that my grandparents named their dog “Dog”. Their reasoning was that they got him later in life and wanted to name him something easy so they’d remember it should their minds start to go. It’s funny but kind of sad..

Stoked that the ABz are covering this VHS gem, jus recently resurfacing on streaming. KeepItGoing you 'Turkeys"!

How about a favorite band? The actionbiys dont talk music other than scores too much. Anyone they wanna talk about? Tool is obviously my favorite band

Thoughts on Winning Time on HBO? Doesn’t seem like it was worth ruining Adam McKay and Will Ferrel’s friendship but maybe that’s just me!

I want Kuffs 2. Modern day deadbeat dad George Kuffs, get Milla Jovovitch back as the ex-wife. Probably hack to make him maga but he'd prob be into Rogan, Chappelle, MMA.. Patrol Special Lives Matter. What would the color of the line for Patrol Special be instead of the thin blue line? Gonna go with a golden turkey brown.. and shit from when he doses that dude's coffee

I am a Slater hater

The dude that might have gotten the worst of it was a DJ they hired to play mood music for the models to dance to. He started with two expansive speakers, mixers, subs etc playing his own tunes and grooving to them. He kept getting downgraded to the speakers and subs, then no sub woofers or laptops, until finally all he had was an iPhone and a shitty plug in computer speaker to follow the girls around with. I’ve never seen a soul leave a body as fast as when the DJ would play a song he liked and Michael Bay would be like “NEXT!!!” WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!??? NEXT! WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT!! WERE NOT IN A JAZZ CLUB!!! NEXT SONG!!! THESE WOMEN ARE WOODLAND NYMPHS!!! NEXT” For three days we watched as Michael Bay creepily leered while filming these scantily clad women to the same Lana Del Ray song on repeat Finally on the last day he is struck with another brilliant idea and wants to move the crew and shot on top of a wet grassy hill. As he’s making the viewfinder box with his fingers we watch as this douche bag giraffe in a peach colored polo slips, crumples up, and rolls down the hill. The next transmission we heard over the walkie talkie was “THERE IS A GOD!!” But we held in our laughter. Three 12 hour days of busting our balls and getting screamed at by these “Auteurs” amounted to……three 30 second Internet spots. At the end of the day the check cleared and I got to see a pompous asshole fall down a hill, but there’s easier ways to make a buck and whenever I hear Lana Del Rays “Blue Jeans” I shiver a little

Hey I heard you like Michael Bay stories. As a union electrician based in the northeast I had the distinct pleasure of working with this 6’3” 100 pound Weeping Willow while shooting a Victorias Secret commercial for 3 days around the mansions of Newport Rhode Island. He was the DP/ Director of the commercials at the time and it seemed like an easy outlet for him to get supermodel ass when the Me Too Movement was just a glint in Harvey Weinsteins eye. “Tits and explosions” I thought. “how bad can this be??” It turned out to be one of the most frantic and least professional shoots I’ve ever been a part of. For starters we couldn’t wear our tool belts or standard shitty work clothes because he wanted us to look “professional.” The only cooler close to set that would normally contain water and drinks for the crew had a sign on it “FOR MICHAEL ONLY!!” I thought it was a joke until the First AD (Assistant Director who looked like Super Dave Osbourne) bellowed “THIS IS FOR THE DIRECTOR ONLY!!! IF ANYONE DRINKS FROM THIS COOLER THEY WILL BE FIRED!!” For the next three days we humped waaay too much gear around these enormous estates without any plan or direction. There was no shot list, blocking rehearsals or story board, just random shots pulled out of Michael Bays ass at the spur of the moment. He had the uncanny ability to get inspiration and want the next shot to be focused at where our gear was staged. We had to move a ton of shit out of the way for him over and over and over again as the leather clad stork would change his mind and scream at us to move faster. There were locations on the manor so far away that were never discussed and we had to scramble and run 400 feet of extension cable at the last minute to to appease this overgrown child hack.

Rodgers mentioned his landlord wanting him out and maybe getting a second dog. If it isn’t out of line, wouldn’t mind hearing about both

How many SLYGuys y'all get? 😂😂😂

I was gonna call in with this story but I really hate the sound of my voice. So just imagine this in a thick Texan accent.. Have you heard of the film Joe starring Nicolas Cage? Its directed by David Gordon-Green. He wanted a lot of stuff in the movie to be real. And a lot is real. Cage really butchers a deer carcass. The homeless guys are real homeless guys. Well there is a scene where Cage goes to get a bj at a brothel and in the brothel he sees two people fucking. DGG wanted real fucking. So I was cast I guess cuz I look sleazy. I played a patron of sex workers many times. The gal was a smokeshow in her early 40s. They had us in this old house. When we shot it was just us, DGG, a camera guy and sound guy. He directed us in various positions for about 10 minutes. Then we were done. So, long story short I got paid $100 to raw dog on camera in a Nic Cage movie.

I think Gabrus was the only one that vocalized interest in Drive My Car. Now it's on HBO, and it's my favorite film from 2021. So uhhh check it out~ Also Black Lagoon is a very ABZ show as a general recommendation

PUTV is on HBO Max right now but also available here and I'm fairly sure this is a legal website https://archive.org/details/pump_up_the_volume_1990

Have any of the actionboyz tried their hand at writing other than for TV/movies? I'm thinking short stories, a novel that's been in a drawer for years, or even a comic book? I know you guys mention Ben's drawing ability a lot and you all read plenty.

They really should do "Kuffs"

Amazing. I played dork hacker Mobley on Mr. Robot for 3 seasons & got to chat with Slater about a bunch of his old movies. Super nice dude. Gave him a Tony Hawk Simpsons toy as a nod to one of my faves, Gleaming the Cube (in which Hawk plays his homie & doubles as a stunt performer).

“Deep Cover” is a good movie! 👍🏽👍🏽 What do you guys think of “The Batman”? Don’t sleep on The Riddler, guys. Are you guys going to listen to the book “Heat 2” by Michael Mann and Meg Gardiner?

Would you consider the podcast to be a love letter to contempt for the audience? Or would you say that contempt for the audience is a character in the podcast?

Who sings the shadow wolves theme? It sounds like Dan Avidan. It wouldn't surprise me if he was a shadow wolf.

Is this the best movie in the Slaterverse?

Samantha Mathis, in pump up the volume and forever, is so hot. Love her.

Have always agreed with the Action Boyz movie cut off of around 1995. But I enjoyed the boyz talking matrix on High and Mighty and the Bad Boys episode a lot. It's really interesting to hear them dissecting how exactly the genre was changing and why exactly action movies are just less enjoyable these days. Any chance of going even further into 90s or even early 2000s to break down some of the last hurrahs of movies that share DNA with the classic action boyz movies like Exit Wounds, Deep Blue Sea, etc.

Just wanted to remind you guys that I would never in my life wear black, silk underwear!

rodgers - have you watched the new season of drive to survive and who are you rooting for in f1 this year?

Just bought a copy, so this seems meant to be.

Are you excited for The Northman? The trailer looks sick as hell I think

This announcement made my Friday night. You guys ever see Over The Edge?

Titane and Benadetta streaming on Hulu.

I sure hope they TALK HARD!
