Shadow Wolves September 2022
The boyz discuss what they're watching/reading, answer some calls from the ABZ phone line, and talk about The Big Chill (1983)!

Ultra Janitor Mode engaged - Gabrus was talking about their 'average' release date for their movies, and I've got it calculated. When you include the rest of Oktooky (I was able to decode the secret message), their average movie date is Sept 4, 1988. Here's my spreadsheet for reference: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LbDGlq_uWIpGWAxThe2iCvr_q_vOjYv1OrmdjLxazeY/edit#gid=131383214&range=C25
This is incredible.
Idea for Shadow Wolves call-in segment... what if they did an advice segment where they just shit on everybody calling in for advice? Was listening to an advice segment on another podcast and wishing the AB were responding instead of the hosts.
yeah, maybe start with this comment
If yall want a real Langfest, check him out in 'Last Exit to Brooklyn'. Fckn brutal.
Ben’s take on this movie hit hard. I have so many friends resigned to that dumb old boomer mentality, and I’m doing all sorts of shit to try not to fall into it.
Since the boyz were talking about it, when I die I want something like a Tibetan Sky Burial. They cut your meat to make it easy for the condors to eat, then they gather your skeleton after you are picked clean, and grind your bones up with animal fat and oats and scattered that on the mountainside. But I live in the South, so the best I could hope for is an Alabama critter buffet. Stray dogs/cats, possums, and rats would be eating good at least.
Hope the retreat the boyz were on was also also Rodgers and Stanger filming their episode for season 2 of 101 places
The 101st place is going to be where Gabrus and Rodgers finally kiss Stanger.
This episode got me through a really tough time in my life where Stanger wasn't on this month's Shadow Wolves. Thanks, guys.
Hey Janelle, what's wrong with Stangie?
"Stangie's fine, honey. Stangie's just fine. Where are you?" "Your co-host is dead..."
Prayers up for boomer vacation homes in Hurricane Ian’s path. Be a damn shame if they had to spend an entire winter in one of the other houses they own.
Love Big Chill but it is a bunch of Yuppies sad about selling out and dancing to Motown songs on a plantation and I’m not sure to what degree the movie does or does not know that about itself.
Great episode. I miss Stanger, but Gabrus and Rodgers are great together. The part about Rodgers never shopping for more than one person struck a chord with me. It reminded me of a time when I was on vacation with some friends and tried to make coffee for the group. I have always used the same three scoops of coffee grounds to make myself two cups of coffee every day, and having to make coffee for eight people really threw me for a loop. It was a baffling challenge that I failed.
The woman king was very good, it tells an interesting story that hasn’t been told like that before, and has some decent action scenes too. At the very least know seeing it will make your racist uncle mad which is a pretty good reason by itself.
W/r/t gina prince-bythewood talk, gabrus says "say what you will about The Old Guard--" did people not like The Old Guard? I thought it was great. I know Netflix inflated the viewing #s but i thought the film was cool
Love & Basketball for next Sportstember plz
Every time the action boyz call their fans “freaks” and “deeply disturbed”: Yeah, your fans are freaks. …crap.
Came back here after watching big chill finally and holy shit. Nerd alert!
Good episode, but I kept wondering what they thought about shrimp.
same, but regarding their status of big butts and whether or not they like them up in their faces
RIP Nurse Rached. Cinema's greatest hero.
Fuck Ned Beatty
man i hate their gym
What gym let's kids run around?
Sorry for clogging up the voice-mail with 3 messages. I was losing my fuckin mind when I left those.
every time I hear LANCE I gotta yell it like Vincent Vega
I used to see Stephen Lang at the gym all the time, pre- and post-Avatar: he was usually about as jacked as he was in Avatar. I never bothered him but a mutual friend told me that Lang had emailed him from the set of the Jason Momoa Conan movie, "[Guy's name], it's all blood and boobs."
I love hearing Stephen Lang appreciation. He was in Gettysburg, which was my favorite movie in the fall of 1993, and I’ve kind of paid attention to him ever since.
Let me get this straight. So Stangers getting up there, his knees are busted, he’s getting more and more confused with every passing day. And the boyz just happen to go on a retreat probably to “live on a farm upstate” and come back without him??? I think Stanger just got Old Yeller’d
Yeth, Mama. But he wath my Sthtanger. I'll do it.”
Cast in this was nuts, they all look so cool
When I was lifeguarding at my college rec center my boss was strict on keeping the pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room in good shape as he knew how expensive it is to replace shit. One rule for the sauna was to keep newspapers out. Something about the ink or oil from newspapers getting in the air and then fucking up the vents or pipes. So to this day I get stressed when I see newspapers or reading of any kind (not sure if it is strictly newspapers or any paper and ink situation) in the sauna. I don't have the science to back this up, only my boss' word, and I felt he was sincere in not wanting to mess up the pipes and ventilation system.
How's a guy supposed to listen to the best podcast about the best movie ever......Commando? I searched and was shocked y'all hadn't done it yet. Kick me in the sack if I missed something but with as many references to it....I would think it would have been one of the first.
Might be in the High and Mighty feed
Gabrus on Blank Check’s Kubrick series? 👀 mentioned in the ep he recently did a podcast about Full Metal Jacket
Blank Check skipped like three weeks of the series to cover recent releases. Glad to hear it's going to pick back up.
We sure Stanger will be back and this is not Ben’s way of finally edging him out? Started with Strangerbot, we should’ve have all seen it coming that he couldn’t take a back seat to the real star of the show.
I don't usually watch stuff in 3D, not a fan of HFR either, but Avatar looked amazing and I had a blast revisiting it. Glad to hear even Rodgers was into it. People trying to weakly dunk on the sequels in advance has been super weird to watch. Like, I'm supposed to NOT be excited about getting 4 more James Cameron movies in the near future because "the fanbase isn't as strong as Marvel"? Fuck off.
Strong words from the reigning champ. Gotta say I totally agree. It's like me telling them their sister is too dusty and old before I've even been there. Congrats on the big win ECotY. I hear Worlds is coming up soon. Yo. Just make sure you come out swingin.
Reading Heat 2 made me realize that Vincent Hanna is by far my favorite part of the movie. I missed him a lot during those stretches without him in the book.
I'm like two-thirds of the way through and finding that I really don't care about Chris in South America and, during those stretches, just want to get back to Neil and Vincent in 1988
Gonna start a band called worriedaboutstanger
Stanger's going to be kicking himself that he missed out on all the juicy sauna talk.
Oh yeah
My thoughts exactly
