This was an "A-eh" Pic-ture and an "A-eh" Ac-tion Bo-yz Ep.
Love the show. My local theater in Baltimore had a showing for this movie and it was a blast. What a joy to revisit this episode
Watched the trailer for this bad boy and holy shit did it make my head spin: https://youtu.be/VlF6TNmcw5E
Hell yeah
I love this movie. It’s so weird. A true fever dream. It’s like having Maximum Risk playing in one eye and NBA Jam playing in the other and trying to watch both.
Sweet kiss beautiful lovemaking Rodman get rebound for Mama
Never saw this one, but the cover always made me think of a fresh tennis ball right from the tube.
I had dinner a few years ago with an actress friend and her moderately well-known character actor boyfriend at the time and he said that Mickey Rourke had been, quote, "obsessed" with his body even when he was very young: Mickey was wincing on set one day and had to explain to people what liposuction was and why it hurt.
Funny they wanted Snipes initially since Rodman started coloring his hair after he saw Snipes in Demolition Man
Still laughing at the thought of JCVD's joyous reaction to the surprise splendors of christmas morning.
Rodman: For Better or Worse, is the 30 for 30 about Rodman. I liked it.
Der must be baby laxative in dees coke because I just took dee biggest shit.
Sorry to the janitor that snapped. Jon's told me to kill myself when I engaged him as a fan (SW call in.) If you can't roll with that nonsense, it is in your best interest to not give a shit about this podcast.
Goldsmythe is Belloq.
(*janitor voithe) I cant beleev they mithed that!
Have I looked at the pod timer and seen it was halfway done and commented that it's half way over, yes. 🔥
The Boyz sometimes talk about those movies that they remember only as a VHS cover in the video store, and wooow this is a prime example for me. Crazy deja vu rush when I saw that poster, and I've definitely never seen the movie.
Simon Sez Yaz queen
I remember not liking this movie so much as a kid that I only watched it 5 times and rented Simon Sez believing it was a sequel.
Made me think of Gabrus https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0tfjQNTFpPC8ViZHPxwrCfbYS3TRmDM8zYp3CW3si5rZ1hKE1t7gbncyFhYqaWdpLl&id=1210655292296051
I can’t believe the boys’ enthusiasm for this pile of shit.
Dennis Rodman as Dennis Rodman is the move/
Hell of a movie, I think I like this more now than I did as a kid
The Rolling Thunder was easily the best GI Joe vehicle in our collection. Somehow my brother and I pulled off the seemingly impossible feat to pool our resources and get something we both could share and enjoy.
I know people that look and dress like Jack Quinn
ESPN did a 30 of 30 on Rodman that was very good. Interesting stuff like how he didnt start playing basketball until college and graduated high school "only" being 5'11. It's called Rodman: For Better or Worse.
It’s an amazing doc
As a representative from the Climate Change believing and Gabrus loving fans, our current mood is; hopeful about the new climate bill and bummed that there’s only one episode left of 101 Places to Party.
Is there a po box in Val Verde where I can ship this vhs tape of Megaforce? https://m.bonanza.com/listings/Megaforce-Vhs-Vhs-Tape-/649793986
Tsui Hark's best action movie is Time and Tide (2000).
I was going to ask if anyone else had seen this. I saw it 20 years ago and thought it was pretty cool. I loved the sequences in the Hong Kong high-rise. It’s been 15 years since I last watched it, but I reckon it holds up.
Love how excited the Boyz were to break this one down; this was definitely one of the most confusing yet fun movies I’ve seen in awhile.
This is hardly the craziest thing in this movie but I lost my shit when the guy put a bag over his head under water. Because he was breathing water?
I have never managed to make it through this film all the way. The ABZ enthusiasm will see me trying again when in a veg-out mood.
Do only the Strong
Compared to Rodman, JCVD was not enough charismatic.
W/r/t to The Prisoner the british tv show from the 60s, it fuckin rules. The Simpsons did a parody of it in Season 14 which for me is a top post Season 10. AMC or A&E also did a remake of The Prisoner with Jim Caviezel and Ruth Wilson and it is, uhh, something lol
That remake sucks shit but the original should be required viewing for people. Real "there are no rules" shit
So no shadow wolves episode this month?
Oh yeah there are still two days left, my bad. I LOVE STANGER, but I’m here for Rodgers voice. Man that voice is soothing. I’m not joking.
I always thought removing someone from their Patreon was a bit, did they actually revoke that guy’s membership? Hilarious.
All I remember from this movie is Van Damme in the tub practicing to hold his breath with the lit cigarettes
If anyone is thinking of watching the new Stallone movie 'Samaritan' on Amazon Prime I've got a recommendation for you. Don't do it.
it's a love letter to CGI flames
Cocaine p.g.a is an uncredited producer on this one.
Lord, been waiting for this one specifically
This whole movie is Homer mixing pop rox with Coke and leaping from the subsequent explosion in slow motion.
strap yourself in and feel the g's
Thanks for the Mormon listeners shout out!!!!
Definite case of "we didn't know how good we had it". I remember being a huge Bulls and Van Damme fan in the late 90s, insisting to my buddies that we rent this, then getting roasted afterwards because everyone hated it, including me. The hotel room fight in particular made me realize we were spoiled idiots back then.
I haven’t listened to the new ep yet, but since you guys talk about craft services on set so much, I just wanted to say that I’m working on Mayor of Kingstown today (season 2 is filming in Pittsburgh), and crafty today is pretty dope. This is my fourth day so far, and it’s been consistently good. There’s a new Ethan Coen flick starting up soon, I auditioned for a speaking part, and I hope I get it for no other reason than I might be able to eat more of the REAL food on set, not just the junk food for all the background randos.
I remember thinking it would be great to have a job where I could drink coffee and eat junk food all day, but then I started working on film sets and doing just that. What I wouldn’t give to have more real food around. There’s the odd time once in a while when someone will pop in and make everyone quesadillas or whatever, but it usually just looks like someone looted a Costco or something.
is it just me or is the august shadow wolves gone? i got an email announcing it but the link leads to an error page.
Think it got posted premature, like most of us janitors were probably born
Rodman’s daughter, Trinity, is one of the top women’s soccer players in the USA.
"This patron isn’t supporting any creators at the moment." Glad to see he took his 8 bucks a month and got the fuck outta here. Good riddance to bad janitors
I hope they rate this on a scale of 0 to 5 bananas, because this is one of the most 5 bananas movies I've ever seen. But they probably went 0 to 5 Coke machines.
A love letter to vending machines.
the cold open is stong with this one. # too old
I was in Asheville a few years ago and we went to the Pinball Museum (which is awesome and a really great time for anyone) and I played the shit out of their T2 pinball machine. They had a bunch of newer games as well but none were as good as the T2. It even had the shotgun grip for the ball launcher that I remembered as a kid.
