Knightriders (1981)

Hell yeah

Tom Savini lives a couple neighborhoods over from me. He is known to sell t shirts of his likeness that say “Tom Savini Rules” on them

I grew up working at the New York Ren Faire and this brought back so many nostalgic feelings!

There's a documentary about Savini streaming on Shudder called Smoke and Mirrors: The Tom Savini Story.

Just now listening to this episode, and got to the part about Stephen King looking better with age. Does anyone else think as they get older Sissy Spacek and Stephen King are morphing into the same person?

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Chapter 35 of the Brian Cox Autobiography Audiobook. Around a minute in. You can hear his stomach rumbling.

RIP: Fred Ward 1942-2022: The Adventure Begins

Lol because it came up in todays episode, I've gotta repost my "Action Boyz - Léon: The Raver" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaEC3sf5R_U

Darude knew what he was doin’ , man…

what must have been going through that renfair guy's head watching tiny rodgers walk out of the bathroom stall after originally thinking he was hearing an IBS addled teamster just demolish their facilities

For any psychos like me, the darude sandstorm talk in the Sniper episode starts at 2:15:30 Dudududu

The movie Gabrus was talking about where they wet the toilet paper is “Airborne,” the roller blading movie and one of Jack Black’s first movies

Idk if anyone has seen “the ice road” but it came out last year. Liam neeson and Lawrence fishbourne. Insane low budge. Liam’s brother in the movie is a hot shot mechanic that is .. for lack of a better word “special” and the dude that plays him is NOOOT. It’s wild

I loved this episode. Thanks for putting out such fun content, Action Boyz!

In highschool, my buddy’s dad bought them matching motorcycles and within a few months he got into an accident while they were riding together that put him in a coma. Bad enough that there were pull the plug conversations. He ‘recovered’ and has lived with brain damage for the last 20 years. The kind where he has signs all over his apartment to remind him to check that the stove is off, etc. He was a stud athlete and likely going to play university soccer. He had to relearn how to walk and always looks off-balance. His parents divorced because of it. So yeah, don’t ride motorcycles.

In the Twin Peaks finale, Coop takes a guys gun and drops it in a fryer at a diner. No idea if it's an homage but it is in my head now

Paul George has a pretty intense hairline

Thanks so much for picking this movie, I hadn’t heard of it and it’s fuckin great!

Never would have watched this movie on my own, really glad it was covered on here. Made me miss my early 80s Honda motorcycle I got rid of though

"Barry" has the cast with their most original hair on tv.

this is one of my favorite movies, glad they (esp. Ben) liked it!

I loved every moment of the movie. A love letter to Farmer’s Markets.

I was so happy this movie was covered on the pod, had been on my watchlist for a long time and I finally had a reason to watch it, totally fell in love with it as well.

Sandstorm!!! Hell yea, Darude is great. Kernkraft 400 is the other song they mentioned

Didn't realize Liam and Hellen used to be a couple and they met on Excalibur. Here's a fun little story from Leaky Dick himself about seeing her for the first time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoY0J5jSbTM

I like to braid my pubes, I show her my tie-land

I saw a lot of myself in that beer drinking slob dad.

PUBE ANECDOTE ALERT: I used to be a dedicated manscaper, but I could only shave my dick every other day because of all the irritation it caused. So one time, I’m hooking up with this girl, and she commented that my “dick stubble” felt uncomfortable during sex. Ever since, I’m au naturel 100%.

My first memory of Knight Rider is the Diff’rent Strokes episode where Arnold and his step bro (John Connor’s dirt bike passenger) end up on the set of the show and Arnold hides in Kitt’s trunk. But it wasn’t Kitt, it was a duplicate car wired to explode! Knight Rider producers should be grateful our horny generation revisited the show in syndication after Baywatch only to be disappointed. No turbo, no boobs.

Savini is a wild Instagram follow. He posts annual shirtless birthday selfies. Still ripped, definitely has had work done. Dude's a weirdo, lol.

I was listening to an older Blank Check and Jason Mantzoukas is a subscriber to ActionBoyz! He was shouting out the pod.

Is the water on toilet paper movie Airborne?

Its not the 17 hour KNIGHTRIDERS cut, but for any other creeps who love Romero's movies as much as I do, a few weeks ago, director of photography Michael Gornick posted on Facebook that someone has found the long-lost 3 and a half hour cut of MARTIN

Yeah Savini was a photographer in Nam. It's the cornerstone of his whole career, he knows what real gore looks like. His Gilbert appearance was pretty rad: https://www.gilbertpodcast.com/tom-savini/

Rodgers needs to get into sim racing..

I like my pubes the way Gabrus likes his chest hair. Clipped short and uniform.

I once partied with George Romero during Fantastic Fest when I worked at Alamo Drafthouse. He didnt smoke any pot but killed a wbole bottle of Grey Goose by himself.

Seagal running montage that made me cry this morning: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nkskuSXqUD0

In the BMX community we call it a "scorpion slide" when you fall face down on your chest and your forward momentum causes your legs to bend forward over your head like a scorpion's tail. Definitely the worst way to eat shit.

I can and will shit or piss anywhere, anytime. Sorry boyz

Trying to watch this thing before listening to the ep, anyone else watch it on Tubi and get these bizarre Sharon Stone "Slotomania" ads? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-tSiiGgCZg

Roughly around 1hour 47 mins into the movie, that dumb broad is "reading" a porn magazine on the rock by the river. Anyone know which one?

I use my wife's curly hair shampoo/conditioner on my pubes. Really adds volume and texture, but also reduces flyaways.

Tom Savini is 75 and still looking good: https://www.instagram.com/p/CW3srptpikw/

Back in the late 80s there was a guy around here who built a replica of the Knight Rider car and used to just park it in front of malls and such to let kids take pictures in it for 5 bucks. I lost the polaroid ages ago, but it was easily the happiest I ever looked in any picture taken of me as a kid.

Wife and I were stoked to throw this on (both of us never heard of it) but we just couldn't keep going...sorry to say we gave up after 40 minutes.

Gabrus’ in-laws are bikers- I’d be surprised if none of them had made the joke that they’re really his out-laws

The Crazies is a weird movie for many reasons, one of which is having maybe the ugliest male cast ever lol

I used to work at a shitty Italian restaurant close to where Tom Savini lives and he would come in periodically. He always got the same thing: Italian wedding soup. They kept a special bowl in the kitchen just for him that was like 3 times bigger than the normal bowls. He always tipped $20. Cool guy.

Paused this movie when I thought for certain the credits were about to roll.. 50 mins remaining. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The ending is fucking wild. Heck of a movie

In San Francisco, they hold the Annual Dickens Christmas Faire, which is like a Renn Faire but Victorian themed. It’s fun to go to during the holidays. It’s held in a place called The Cow Palace (LOL). There should be an ABZ Faire. I’m definitely down for that.

Watching the trailer for this led me down a rabbit hole about the fella that played Merlin, Brother Blue. He seemed fun. Also Martin Ferrero was great as a recurring snitch on Miami Vice, you can tell he was riffing a bit there too

omg I laughed so much in this cold open!

For the record: I like a treasure trail.

I thought this was going to be a Doomsday/Mad Max film where we’ve devolved to war lords, city states, and a knightly warrior class…😳.

That Stephen King cameo gave me gooseflesh

Anyone else have to self-flagellate after sex?

Yo why the hell is this movie 2 and a half hours long? 😦

Oof this was a rough one. Cut about an hour out of this snooze fest and we got ourselves a movie.

Going back to that diarrhea thing though...

The chubby groupie’s cheese pizza looked a little under done, I like to let it brown a bit. Smart move for Billy to open the box when he threw it at the sleazy promoter. That’s why he’s the king

Shout out to my Aunt Jamie for letting me watch Romero movies when I was way too young for them.

According to the highly recommended 'The Making of George A. Romero's Day of the Dead', Savini's bachelor party featured a supercut video of Tom having sex with various women playing in the background. So yes, he does fuck.

Horniest pick since Batman Returns.
