Shadow Wolves December 2022

Do you ever eat a burger with a bun? Said an adult man with an eating disorder to another.

The Mt Rushmore of Mom’s Car Soundtrack Cassettes: Dirty Dancing, Big Chill, Flashdance, Footloose

Rodgers! I’ll be your Townie Friend in Ventura County!

Mr Gabrus. Bullet Train is awesome. It’s what we all want . When Stone creates his Action Boyz show when you retire . He will have Bullet Train on the list.

Hey dummies, do a Christmas movie at Christmas

I grew up on an Island in Nassau County. Amelia Island, Florida.

The strip club owner was played by Lee Ving, who also had a career in music. He formed the parody/satire punk band Fear. Their first album is worth a listen, and their Saturday Night Live performance is on YouTube and worth watching. They were also featured on The Decline of Western Civilization part 1.

Who the hell here doesn't like the phone calls?!

I remember that burrito thing from The Dirt, and always wondered...why not just wash your cock in the sink of any nearby establishment? Why buy a burrito? The soap and water are definitely more effective for more issues other than smell, and the inside of the burrito might burn you...

When Rodgers brings up the Flashdance stripclub owner's #2 not having a line and saying they "have like a weird uh...S&M relationship or something" I was completely expecting him to say a Lennie and George relationship. S&M sounds kind of like Mice and Men, what about that. This may only be interesting as part of a Robin Williams impression riff

Us3, hand on the torch. Really spoke to 14 year old me.

Thanks for bringing up Dominion guys

Russia aka Dark Territory.

The parental mental decline discussion really hit home. It's frustrating and sad and disappointing. I feel like I'm finally a full-fledged adult, and my dad is now heading backwards to dumby.

What sours Angel Heart is that the name “Louis Cyphre” spoils the entire story from the start, otherwise it’s good, and Rourke was made for a noir PI role at that time. Still have never seen Flashdance, it’s too “adult” for current festive company, which is ironic as I’d always thought it was a kids film! 🤨

I feel exactly opposite about LOTR vs House of Dragons. Rings of Power got kinda slow in the middle of the season but the last 2 episodes i found extremely satisfying. I love love loved the reveals in the season finale. House of Dragons lost my ass at the time jump forward. I liked the young princess actresses and drama and Bronte vibes but when that was gone i was done with it.

I think Rodgers was off on why people are so protective of Brendan Fraser. Most of the time, I think what he said is spot on, and it is because of some weird nostalgia. However, the Fraser stuff is because he was sexually assaulted and then blacklisted for years because he tried to say something about it.

Instead of Brian Setzer with the Stray Cats. Its Bryan Seltzer and the Stray Dogs

Really, really good discussion about The Rock and Vin Diesel, each one of you is exactly right. Great Shadow Wolves topic.

Dear Action Boyz please create a video tier.

Ben would make the best Rock movie

“I agree with you Stanger. I’ll cast the shit out of Vin Diesel over the Rock.” 😑 -StangerFan69

Great Episode. Enjoyed the Diesel/Rock discussion. Here are some recent movie recs; Aftersun - Girl goes on vacation with her Dad, parents are divorced, Dad is not doing so well but cares. No plot really. This one hits ya hard. Leonor Will Never Die - Filipino movie where author gets pulled into the world of her action novels. Delirious meets Miami Connection. Fun watch, original take on the author meets their characters movie.

Nonplussed

I don't get the take that an actually fat person should play the lead in The Whale. The character is so overweight that they are dying, there is no way you could reasonably adapt that play without using a fat suit. It is also quite empathetic to the main character (to the point that it is a bit cheesy at times).

I still can't wrap my head around actually liking Avatar. I tried again after the boys talked about it recently but man - so long and fuckin boring

I coincidentally watched Angel Heart recently and the Blu-Ray has a GREAT long interview with Mickey Rourke, probably just before The Wrestler, where he's very honest about himself and his career. He strikes me as someone who was naturally predisposed to not giving much of a shit about acting, and whose already-small interest in the art was depleted by the commercial trends that were in place at the height of his fame. Snippet of that interview here: https://youtu.be/cffweHFxbaA

If I'm picking one guy to sell Street Sharks, I'm going Vin every day of the week.

Immediately laughing my ass off at the Stallone poetry slam readings here in this episode. Thanks Action Boyz for another great year of podcasts!

Avatar 2 rules, probably wouldn't have given the first one a second chance if the boyz didn't talk it up. It's very funny that the military made the avatars able to cum.

Vin over the Rock any day. I think Stanger thought Gabrus would agree with him after they talked at length about how great Diesel was and how much better he was than the rock on The Newcomers podcast. I think every Fast episode was Gabrus and Byer talking about that very thing tbh ☺️

Athena (2022) is great. A real spectacle.

Loved Banshees of Inisherin. Farrell is perfect. Hit home a lot tho with his character. Made me cry.

The worse Babylon does, the more I want to see it.

In the scene when they leave the ballet to go to a date, Nick opens the door to Alex as a gentleman. Then Alex unlocks his door as thank you. This fact, that a woman unlocks the door of the man showed that she is interested seriously in him. This lesson was taught in the film A Bronx Tale where Robert De Niro's son is taught by the local gangster, in the 60's. The 60's is the time when Nick growd up as shown in the present movie. 20 of 34 found this interesting

I could listen to the Boyz talk Cameron and Avatar for a full episode

I don't like it when our dads argue.

This has been another banner year Boyz. Thank you for being so generous and so consistent. You set an example for how good and funny a podcast can be.
