Virtuosity (1995)
VIRTUOSITY this week. Two of our greatest actors, action, sci-fi. It’s got it all and yet…Spoiler alert, it fucking sucks. Oh well, they all can’t be Kuffs or Firefox.

I enjoyed Year of The Comet for what it was. Certainly not good but was fun to waste some time on a Sunday afternoon.
Hell yeah
Should have been the credits track.
This movie reminds me of NAS with Lauren Hill....If I ruled the world. Just feels right.
In our first apartment my brother and I had a DVD/ VHS CRT television combo connected to Phillips Dolby 5.1 sound system with the turntable on top, 5 disc changer and dual tape deck. Anyway... The TV remote quite working the first week we had it.
Gabrus, if you want a small bedroom TV+VCR at peak ~aesthetic~, I highly recommend a 13” Panasonic, I bought one last year (the exact model is PVC1331, in white) and it’s one of my best purchases of all time, I fall asleep all the time to tapes now. So happy to hear the Boyz discussing VHS, me and my friend are avid fans and collectors.
Brett Leonard sounds like the 2 first names they forgot to give Parker Barnes
Man, I love the episodes for terrible movies. So funny. And yea $18k for even the coolest pinto is absurd, it’s still a POS no matter what. The market really is insane right now, a dealership gave me $2k more than any marketplace offer I had for a 12 year old Honda.
I’m trading in my 2018 civic and getting $500 less than what I paid. Can’t negotiate off sticker, but this is still better than I could have done.
Stanger talking about the ref who had to join a white power gang in prison reminds me of someone I knew who had to do the same thing. This guy went to prison for about a year or two, we he got out he was covered in tattoos. He said he had to join the white power assholes for protection and thus had to get some sketchy tattoos. He said he tried to choose the least offensive designs, so no swastikas, but definitely an iron eagle among others.
Do all the bits and never change, Rodgers, your vitriol was perfect!
“Choose a hole Stang!”
Action Boyz, in light of the Desus & Mero news: don’t even think about it assholes, stay together for the kids
Haven't seen ET but I've seen Virtuosity now
Most people refer to Virtuosity as the better version of ET, so I don’t think you need to see it now.
Love it when The Saint drops by. “Enirgy” 🤣
Day one of me trying to get my comment deleted by Rodgers. The people need the no retreat no surrender 2 ep
Go on Twitter and find out what kind of jokes PFT doesnt like then do that.
If you separate the character module from the polymer neural net...warn a brotha. Not sure if its just because I'm feverish with covid but I laughed a good five minutes at that joke. Just repeated it a few times and kept cracking up non-stop.
Im reading the set up in a Jeff Foxworthy voice. "If YOUU separate the character module from the polymer neutral net.... you might be a Virtuosity!!"
Since he says it in this movie, does Russell Crowe get credit for saying the titular line from a A Good Year?
Ah jeez now theyll never do Megaforce.
My exact thoughts lol
"YES, I UNDERSTAND" isn't really a line that normal people remember from Robocop. Made that mistake one time.
Gotta be careful with the 'bitches leave' line too
Ok, I’m the psycho to answer your tv/vcr combo questions: I have a 1k+ vhs library, I collect and resell cult vhs, helped start VHSFest at the Mahoning drive-in theatre.. If you’re looking for a solid running tv/vcr combo you can find a lot of Sony or Quasar 13” combos out there (I own 3 🤦♂️). They are tiny, light, and have RCA/AV/RF hookups for all your needs. If you really wanna impress/freak out the girls you bring to your crib, get a white one 👌 Art Deco (Charlie Bronson voice)
My buddy did the musical score for “Rewind this!”
Sucking on broken glass, Outside the Tastee Freez, Lindenmeyer sitting on Sid’s lap, He’s got his hand between his knees, Sid says, hey, Darrel, Take me out of virtual reality, Dribble off my purple pants, Let me do what I please.
I always wondered if the ActionBoyz liked to hear about bits that we listeners really enjoyed. I could see how it would backfire and make them reluctant to do those bits again. It's been a while since I've heard a Master Pedo "Hrmm!" So with that in mind, I won't mention the specific thing Rodgers brought up in this episode that I've heard him mention a number of times before and always brings me joy.
I'm glad at least Gabrus saw the titties at MMA fight. This was a classic vhs rip from PPV or HBO in my household. Masking tape on the spine, "Virtual City" written in sharpie. I didn't even need to rewatch it, Sid licking his stump is imprinted on me.
I had to rewind cause it was so zoomed in I didn't know what I was looking at. I think I said "nice"
man im glad they covered this movie, i had almost convinced myself it was an interesting old russel performance i should check out. Had no clue it was a dud
It was in a BC Lions game where Pam Anderson was discovered. Which I think Stanger said.. also Stanger could probably still make the Lions if he tried out.
This is my favorite Jamiroquai song!
Seen them 3x. Great live. Big fan
It’s crazy that The Matrix came out 4 years later.. Also this is streaming on YouTube if for some reason you want to sit through this complete mess a film.
Fifth Element came out 2 years after this one, too
It gets tricky when a character from the ABZ universe pops up in real world conversations. A co-worker recently said he was thinking of asking someone out on a date. Next thing I know Malak is offering positive reinforcement. Guy had never heard of Conan the Destroyer. Welp…good talk!
Very weird to consider that Russ was basically just starting his American film career when he did this but for Denzel this is basically his follow up to the Philadelphia Oscar win. Why,,, did he do that lol
on how did this get made they said his kid read the script and told him to do it. his kid who's now also a famous actor.
The most unrealistic part of this entire movie is the UFC crowd in attendance being far too diverse and not being 90% white trash dudes.
Nailed it.
I watched Frogtown on Tubi for the first time last week.. really wish my phone would stop selling info to the ActionBoyz so they know what bits to do.
Would you rather sit through a concert of Bruce Willis singing and playing the Harmonica or Russell Crowe and his band 30 Odd Foot of Grunts?
gimme da Grunts
Too Scary Didn't Watch did a Predator episode the other week. Gabrus was on last week but I haven't watched movie and listened yet. I was a lil late to the podcast and just cruised through the catalog, very enjoyable show. The predator episode is a bit different since the usual person who watches and recaps the movie wasn't there, plus it starts with reaction to whack ass Supreme Court, but still a great ep to check out.
I got into that podcast as well. They’re pretty great, and I got a good movie recommendation from their discord - The Deep House, which is about an underwater haunted house.
It was very funny to hear Gabrus say construction workers could just leave their phones in the car when they were talking about not needing an otter box. There are several reasons that wouldn’t work well. The biggest is that I couldn’t listen to podcasts all day if my phone was in the car.
I have nothing to say about this movie but I watched Smokey and the Bandit this weekend and Stanger could play a good Jerry Reed.
Glad to finally have an excuse to sit down and watch this, while munching on a bucket of broken glass shards.
Made the mistake of reading Koontz’ Odd Thomas series in my adult life. Which started dumb & fun, but turned into badass Christians with guns cosplay where only they see the real evil in this world.
Strangely I actually enjoyed this movie. Unhinged Russell Crowe was having the time of his life
After watching the first episode of 101 Places, I feel like Gabrus raising awareness of the Liam Neeson piss pants situation is akin to Hannibal Buress outing Bill Cosby. It was already well-known in certain circles, but Gabrus’ insistence on calling attention to this matter has lit a match over this powder keg and that man, Mr. Neeson, will soon be feeling the explosive wrath of this smear campaign. I for one will be boycotting drinking Evian while I listen to Shadow Wolves from now on out of deference for that tall leaky Irishman.
Gotta rewatch Game Over Man that shit is funny
Didn't expect Roddie 6.7
What’s the over under on us actually being in a simulation? 50/50?
Matrix now or Mad Max later.
Thanks. I’m an idiot
This really makes you appreciate Johnny Mnemonic.
I’m a sucker for “MATILDA” the pig bit always
I actually liked this movie. It was fun! First time seeing it.
Lost the phone number. Someone help me out? (I’m the villainous-sounding Texan from last Shadow Wolves)
Basically they sounded interested to hear more about Jeopardy. In the meantime they can just google two daily double in a row Peter. But I got other backstage dirt I can’t type on here
Say "thank you"
Holy shit the gasp of immense joy I made when this came onto my feed!! LOVED this movie as a kid
It's my actual name. No relation, not spelled anything like his.
