Shadow Wolves August 2022

Back to School, in the opening photo montage, is that pic on the golf course a Caddyshack still? Love it!

Going back and listening to this episode and appreciating it so much more now that I'm picking up on stuff I missed. Loved the Grey hairs joke since my beard has since turned almost all gray. Loved Rhino's joke lol

I remember AL Bundy was a big Hooters guy .

Hell yeah

The ketchup packet when posing as "Thrifty Boy", ep.1 The Rehearsal, tore me up.

I bought Heat 2. I haven’t read a book in 10 years. My kids thought I didn’t know how.

Back to school is such a great movie. No joking about dives!

Listening back I missed the quick Jupiter Jones mention. I loved the Three Investigators as a kid, especially the Crimebusters books. 🤓

Hard Knocks this season is in fact really great.

Can anyone send me a time stamp to when Nope spoilers are over in this ep? Heading on Monday to finally see it... Thanks 🙏

So grateful ABZ did Back to School, but now wishing there might be some Shadowolves eps where they just give a non action movie the regular ep treatment. I would have loved a run-through of this movie. Maybe Real Genius? Boogie Nights?

Thanks for unnecessarily spoiling Nope

We gotta chip in and get this prop for Val Verde. The hunka chunka. https://twitter.com/Howsito/status/1563919751814197250?s=20&t=b9tXuVCGJFaMcJ22d0R0FA

Is it weird that, as someone who usually reads about 20 books a year, the only book discussion I ever hear is from this podcast?

I think they talked about the guy who choked out Segal in the hard to kill episode on high and mighty. So it's in the lore of the show somewhere. R.i.p

Crazy thing about that Twin Peaks bar shootout is that no one got convicted over it. Nine people ended up getting killed but the whole prosecution aspect fell apart. It's nuts. New York Times had a big article about it earlier this year. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/23/magazine/waco-biker-shootout.html

Old guy in my theater during No Country for Old Men in the opening when Brolin is looking at the Black wounded dog in the field said "Panther."

I actually thought of nope while watching Double Team because of the scene where the tiger gets right up to the baby!!

Let's see that Whole Foods receipt

Night Stand with Dick Dietrick was the fake talk show with Tim Stack

Crazy how Rodgers talks about the Twin Peaks bar and Brett Morris mentions visiting the bar in today's Who Charted ep.

A chimp bit part of Jennifer Connelly's finger off while filming Phenomena. Giallo horror for all of Octooky would be fun btw

So fun to hear Stanger talk about Palos Verdes/south bay specifics. I grew up in Torrance and my mom used to take me to Texas looseys as a kid for dinner all the time. I didn't realize until I became drinking age and it was an easy walk from a friend's house that the waitresses had almost no clothes on and my mom was getting drunk at dinner. I just thought it was a great place to get a western bacon bbq burger as a naive 9 year old. Wonder if Marine land was before Stangers time in Palos Verdes. (The place were the mechanic has his weird dream sequence in The Mechanic)

Speaking of gray hair, I was behind Knoxville in the TSA Pre-check at LAX last month. He was wearing Ray-Bans with a mask and sporting a fresh pair of Air Jordan 1s red/white/black. Did not talk, seemed like a friendly guy to the agents.

Title song from Back to School, https://youtu.be/SxzLfnbsde8 puzzling music video, but I’m a fan of the song, first heard it in American Dad S7 E12.

I think the inflatable wavy arm guys in Nope were to track Jean Jacket’s location. Because if he flew over them then the fans’ power would cut out and they would drop to the ground, giving him away. I know this because when this scene happened the random person in the theater next to me loudly muttered “quarter.”

Fake Angela from The Rehearsal is in This Fool, I started watching it right after The Rehearsal it was kinda weird/cool

This is the softest I’ve ever heard Gabrus talk on a podcast.

Pulled my car over to say this: Ren & Stimpy presents Powdered Semen Man

I met Olivia Newton John and played dodgeball at this weird 4th of July party in Malibu in 2004 with her boyfriend that faked his death. She was really nice and still hot. RIP Sandy.

ep started out kinda weird today

Robert Picardo was also Johnnycab in Total Recall.

We Own This City is a true story so the ending can't be helped, what can they do? The Wire is amalgamated characters based on real people but it's still fiction

I will call in for the followup on meeting Dar at a comic con. That first draft voicemail was trash and I knew it as soon as I started.

Shocked we haven’t gotten a full Prey discussion by the Boyz yet, unless I somehow missed it.

MGM announced pre-pandemic that they were rebooting "Back to School" as a reality show: "Both children and parents will experience “the best years of your life” together, but at vastly different ages. Surely, some awkward situations will come. Geriatric beer pong? Mismatched dorm mates? Fraternity brothers with your Dad? Sorority sisters with your Mom?"

R.I.P. Travis.

Gabrus, do you know if there will be a season 2 of 101 places yet? Such a great show

I’m buying Heat 2 now.

Between Michael Wincott and Keith David, Nope had two of the best voices in movies. And my only real complaint about Nope was not enough Keith David.

It’s funny, I only saw this movie and Caddyshack maybe like once as a kid, but somehow saw Ladybugs 30 times growing up

I think the rehearsal episode 1 was filmed just before covid but once covid happened they had to switch up the format to focus entirely on the "raising a child" rehearsal. You can notice in a later episode Nathan's parents are keeping distant and wearing masks

I'd pay extra for a recording of the drive up

I needed the Nope spoilers to make me want to see it. I didn’t enjoy Us and thought the praise was “emperors new clothes” but all they make Nope sound fascinating.

I promise I won't post my music again but I gotta mention that The Oingo Boingo song "Dead Man's Party" inspired the title track of album, Funeral Business. (the album is ten years old and nobody listened to it, so I'm not trying to grift here)...just want to share how that song was a big deal to me. You can google my name and "Funeral Business" if you are curious somehow.

Oh man, when I saw Nope there was an old fat southern woman (live in Massachusetts) sitting down the row from me who kept saying "I can't understand a word they're saying" whenever the leads were talking and also reading out loud anything written on the screen, "Ooooh 'Into The Yonder’". My bother and I made sure to loudly mock her dumbass on the walk out of the theater. Great movie.

I keep hearing people saying how the monkey stuff on Nope doesn't make sense. Are people just dumb? It gives Yuen so much more character and translates exactly to how he treats the UFO

"THAT'S A EURO COIN! THE PLOT THICKENS!"

I'm usually not a big Oakley guy but those sunglasses Gabrus was wearing in Moab looked great.

The editing has been so good Im still not sure they're in the same room 30 minutes in
