Did anyone figure out what security job acting gig Gabrus got fired from?
Hell yeah
It’s always sad to hear stories of Gabrus getting in his own way professionally
On the underwater breath shit I had a friend in jr high who’s dad was an diving oil rig welder and they went to Disney one year and he did some thing there where you get to scuba but they limit your oxygen tank and he was down there for so long the person running the station was freaking out
Why do people care if the Boyz like Marvel movies or not? I mean, they have terrible taste in the first place…
Who gives a shit what other people like or don't like? I don't like mob movies. I don't think that people who do like them are stupid or simps. My life is unaffected by their pop culture tastes.
Thank god Stanger is back
I was gonna kill myself if he wasnt
Damn, just finished the movie and I’m gonna listen now. But this has some awesome stunts, squibs and explosions. They’re not filmed all that well but some of the stunt guys seem way too close to the explosions and it looks amazing. Just hope no one actually got hurt
We all just pulled out our Blu-Ray's right? Picked mine up a few years ago, to add to my Dolph movie collection. Can't wait for the Boyz to get to more... my favorites are: "Bridge of Dragons", "Silent Trigger" and "The Punisher"!
Big fan of the ice rink opening as my mother in law shattered her wrist the day before this dropped. Laughed my ass off
I would activate the ten dollar tier to get audio of Gabrus verbally annihilating a young British actor
I'd donate a lot of money to get it on the livestream
The boys breaking down what lift goes into Dolph lifting the truck is why we listen, why we pay, why we are proud Action Faction
LFO (Abercrombie & Fitch song) were my first concert😅. Absolutely adored them as a kid. But do not look up what happened to the members unless you want to be deeply depressed.

Cuba was actually very involved in helping Communist insurgencies around the world. Angola, Algiers, and the Congo War just to name the ones pertaining to Africa.
Their aid to anti-colonial struggles is unspeakably based.
Um actually, Soviet military was using the AK-74 at the time. Not successfully. They were too busy getting drunk off of jet engine cooling liquids or torturing new conscripts. Total shitshow.
Zinky Boys gonna find a way to turn anything into booze!
Please do "I Come In Peace" aka "Dark Angel". Dolph has another killer place in that one
That movie has always felt to me like someone came up with the final kill quip ("YOU GO IN PIECES, ASSHOLE") and worked backwards from there
Holy shit lol. I just thrifted this movie amd watched it the other night. It fucking sucks and the guy who financed it is a piece of shit.
Just want to shout out Rodgers one more time. I'm almost done with TraumaZone. It is very funny to think of how Russia/The USSR was characterized while internally they were imploding in the 80's. Some really amazing footage too.
Anyone else take until the 3rd or 4th mention of “Hind warship” to realize they weren’t saying “hind worship”?
Washed up stunt-man here and I enjoyed the bit about stunt choreo. Every stunt coordinator wants you to go bigger. So it will read better. And sometimes the better a guy is in real fighting the worse he might look on cam.
I have a lot of friends in circus arts (clowns and pupetteers mostly) and sometimes the clowns teach stunt people how to prattfall and whatnot because knowing the mechanics of taking a fall safely and knowing how to fall safely in a way that reads well to the audience WHILE acting are not the same at all.

I feel like Dolph was careful not to kill anyone until the Cuban ambush at the sexy pond. Then all bets are off.
I think it’s worth noting Jack Abramoff was an Apartheid lobbyist when he wrote and produced this, which was funded by the South African government. It’s a Pro Apartheid via anti-communism movie.
The wiki of Abramoff is more interesting than the movie
Dolph is Swedish playing a Ukranian in this but I gotta say he actually looks pretty Polish. This has been Eric's phrenology corner, sorry.
John Buscema was a badass artist. RIP
His Conan is quintessintial.
While we're on a Dolph run, would love the Boyz to do Men of War !!
Marvel simp here...waiting patiently for coverage of Dolph's Punisher, the crown jewel of the MCU.
BTW, I'm 99% certain I didn't hallucinate this, but I swear TNT (or TBS) would advertise "Senseless Violence Tuesdays" in the mid-90s where they would feature back to back ultra-violent action movies...I'm pretty sure that is where I saw the Punisher the first time...I have tried my best to find these adverts somewhere online because they were very funny...alas...
Gotta admit, I didn’t know Dolph was pretending to be drunk.
So glad Rodgers watched it with the captions on. Couldn't believe the goat and warthog subs.
Yeah Tubi came through once again. I really enjoyed this one! When the dude gets his arm shot off….chefs kiss!
I went to high school with Jack Abramoff’s son Danny during his scandal. I had no idea he wrote Red Scorpion. That’s something they left out of “Casino Jack.”
Give me Soviets/Commies as bad guys all day long! Wish cinema had the balls to do it to China, but at least the Russians will be making a full comeback. 👍🏻 Dolph is 100% a GI Joe come to life: Duke crossed with Mercer. 🤓
Deep cut with Mercer.
Anyone playing Darktide? It's real good.
I love this podcast so damn much
