Stargate (1994)
This week ABZ take a trip through the STARGATE and create some fireworks of their own. Don’t worry they don’t read or write, they just smoke cigarettes with some kids and share 5th Ave candy bars. Happy 4th oh July!

Great ep! Was anyone else a weird egyptophile as a kid and get honey potted by this movie?
speaking as an archaeologist, the methods of construction used for the great pyramids are fairly well understood at this point. we know the why, the how and the when. https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2202530119 . we only quibble over minutiae now.
All FOUR Deluise men appear in SG-1 at some point.
oh, also, Stargate movie is up for free on youtube FYI
the tv series SG1 (as well as the spin off Atlantis, and other shows scifi shows like Farscape and Andromeda) was what channel 5 ran for its post saturday cartoon block for me growing up, always watched cuz my parents cut our cable. never watched the movie and didnt expect the theme song and the wierd NORAD concrete bunker exterior(used in the show) to take me back to saturday afternoons as a 10yo also no MacGyver did legit confuse and throw me as a series fan lol
Hell yeah
A love letter to cocking guns
Im so confused, why didnt the scientists on earth just say they would reopen the portal in exactly 12 hours or something. Why did they need to find new symbols, dont they know where earth is?
James Spader 4 life.
Jackson!? You don’t look like a Jackson!
Random. I just read that the sword that Hopper used in Stranger Things season 4 is the Conan sword Arnold uses .
$20 tier can watch SG 1 with Gabrus once a week
This episode of the podcast is dedicated to the memory of cave boy. Also did they make a cave boy action figure?
Is anyone already compiling the ABZ poetry journal? I am if nobody else is yet. So far I have: Dirty Dozen plan, The Fan poetry, Last Man On Earth poetry?
Superman pretty much started the bit.
I had a roommate first year of college that was a huge stargate fan. Said it was better than wars or trek, proving his insanity. Had every dvd for every season you could think of. Dude looked like Lewis from revenge of the nerds and even had the same fucking laugh. He would sit in his bedroom watching stargate while we would have parties at the apartment. He decided to try drinking for the first time, he chose 10oz of straight everclear despite our pleas not to and was hung over for three days. I have plenty of other stories about him but I will refrain from writing an essay in the comments
Did he go to a stargate con?
The consensus now is that the pyramids were built by paid workers. During the farming off season they had thousands of workers with nothing to do. They paid them in beer. Im a bit of a pyramid buff. Also it's pronounced "an-oo-bis" and "hee-la" monster.
English people pronounce geyser (i.e. Old Faithful) as geezer.
I always thought "geezer" in the UK didnt mean "old man" but rather "creep" or "loser."
I have every season of the X Files in those thick ass DVD sets. I would come across Stargate stuff on my collection journey and think who the hell watches this show.
The action figure for the Space Horse looking thing is by far the best thing to come out of this movie.
There is an intense chemistry between Stanger and Rodgers that really came out in the episode. Keen to see where this goes.
Enjoyed the boyz running it back to 1994 with those “Streets of Philadelphia” riffs. If you had MTV back then you definitely saw the video no less than 700 times.
Can’t wait for the new spin-off, Star Gate Cave Boy-1
In the DVD special features, Spader says he chose to sneeze a lot because he thought his character would be allergic Col. O'Neil's stinky feet.
I remember watching the SG-1 premier during a free promotional week of showtime and it hooked my dad so that he paid for Showtime for like 3 years.
14-year-old me was pleasantly surprised by the full frontal nudity in the pilot episode.
You can spell “Star Gate” with the letters in “Stanger”… that has to open a black hole somewhere.
Oh wow, it looks just like Jackson from the movie https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Y1UJm6mx-VE/Vz3HgdkZv7I/AAAAAAABIdI/wIQ6AEqrnn4BMBsA3YwmYn5FMR7NiekFACLcB/s640/stargate1.jpg
This year I quit Reddit and Twitter and I have no idea what the “apatow” thing they referred to was and it felt so good to hear Rodgers complain about being online. Shit was harder to quit than smoking but I feel amazing now and only haunt abz patreon for parasocial engagement
Same. This is my only sosh meeds
SG1 and Atlantis ruined every day I ever got to stay home from school and watch daytime TV.
Stanger crushed that Alan Alda voice I expect to hear it on every episode now
"She's got glowing alien eyes."
Good book when I was in like 4th grade
Anyone remember the Jon Benjamin Has A Van episode where they drive through the Stargate and then immediately run a guy over on the other side before the van's even fully through? And then they spend the rest of the episode in alien court on murder charges or something?
Definitive ranking: 1. Jurassic Park 2. Stargate 3. Jurassic Park III 4-7. Rest of the Jurassic Park movies
Am I weird thinking the lost word is better than Jurassic Park ?
This movie practically could've been dedicated to the brave Mujahideen Fighters.
This would get a best picture nomination if it came out today
+ French Stewart for Best Supporting Actor
Richard Dean Anderson looks weird in this movie
"There's another Colonel O'Neil with only one L, he has no sense of humor at all."
