Death Race 2000 (1975)

Hell yeah

woot! woot! 🙌

A friend of mine worked on a no-budget horror movie with Marty Kove about 14, 15 years ago. Said he was a true character; he was playing a big game hunter-type and on the first day of filming he showed up to set with what what looked like carpet samples wrapped around his legs. Marty explained that his character should be wearing "pelts" from previous hunts as trophies...so he had cut up some bathroom floor mats and stapled them to his boots.

I have no money or time to listen to podcasts but I reupped my subscription because I need to hear these degenerates talk about movies for a bit. Thank you in advance 🫡

Are we sure the U.S. won WWIII? I feel like there’s a reason the president is in Moscow

Rannazzisi was at New Los Angeles for Death Race

This movie has to be inspired by Wacky Races, right??

Great fun finally watching this. Have known about it practically since I've been watching movies and just never pressed play. Gore gags were fantastic and tied the line of entertainingly messy and effective. Episode was great as well

Wow checkout Black Bird on apple+ it’s great.

This was a really fun movie. I'm glad the boyz covered it.

Monster truck talk reminds me of one of my favorite sketches, it is from Whitest Kids U Know. Search whitest kids u know monster truck party if the link doesn't work. https://youtu.be/ZHh3IuVKhvA

Back when the Gumball Rally was popular in the early/mid 2000s, one of the racers had a gimmick calling themselves “Torquenstein” and dressed up in a leather mad scientist outfit. Torquenstein famously had a crash at like 130mph on video that just added to his lore. I didn’t know it was referencing Death Race 2000 until I watched it this weekend

In high school we used to party in my buddy's basement and we would just piss in the sump-pump hole in the corner. All to avoid going upstairs and having to drunkenly engage with his parents.

All the desert storm stuff really took me back. The only time I ever saw my dad cry was when the news broadcast came on. I have since had 3 of his grandchildren but no tears. Its fine.

So glad Miss Piggy and Kermit made an appearance

So happy the Boyz took a stance on the NFL potentially continuing on while a co-worker/teammate is either dead, or temporarily sidelined by a life threatening heart attack.

David Carradine not wearing leather: did he not want anything tight around his neck? 🪢

Have the Action Boyz ever seen Leslie Nielsen's Bad Golf Made Easier (1993)? Caddyshack and Happy Gilmore don’t represent the reality of the Golf Douche world

Men Are From Mars: They want to see their crush spreading cheeks Women Are From Venus: They don't

Great to hear some Paul Bartel praise -- definitely underappreciated as a director, I think. Eating Raoul and Death Race 2000 are arguably the highpoints but fwiw I also recommend Private Parts (1972) and Scenes from the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills (1989) if you can find them. Lust in the Dust (1984) sounds great (a campy western featuring a Polyester reunion with Divine and Tab Hunter?!!) but it doesn't really work imo. Some people like it though. Bartel's early shorts are also fun, Naughty Nurse (1969) in particular.

After watching such classics as Joysticks and Death Spa on Tubi, I think they should change their name to Tidi. If they could some how insert retro commercials it would be a top tier streaming service

Always here for some golf bashing. I’d rather bowl tbh

Kermit as Little Bill from Boogie Nights was making me howl w laughter

Frankenstein giving strong “Fire Marshall Bill” vibes with his lips

The golf section of The Garner Files was dull, except for his take on Bill Murray being annoying at a pro-am tournament. I borrowed that book from one of those Little Library stands at the roadside. I don't know if those are a regional thing-picture birdhouses filled with books-but it's also where I picked up Candice Bergen's first memoir, Knock Wood (1985), which was more thoughtfully written and personal, and more gossip too.

Love how Rodgers mentioned Q the Winged Serpent. Watched it as a kid and it took me years to find it again. Looking forward to that ep.

Stanger’s liver king voice is amazing.

Excited by the recent Rockford talk! ABZ fans should also check out Stacy Keach's Mike Hammer from the '80s. It checks a ton of ABZ boxes -- weird reactionary conservative commentary, character actor scumbags & toughs, beautiful women who all proposition our hero. The first TV movie is on YouTube in full (“Murder Me, Murder You,” 1984). It's nuts.

It's weird, my comment tried to delete itself several times. Some kind of electrical interference, maybe? Anyway, every time I play the video games Ghost Recon: Wildlands or Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, they feel like they were designed in a lab to mimic mid-nineties, C-tier Delta Force knock off movies. John Bernthal, who is in Breakpoint, needs to do a real one of those before his bones get too brittle.

Hey Gabrus, speaking of Stallone, can we get a Tulsa King Ep for H&M or ABZ?

Speaking of F1 and movies, Rodgers, have you seen Steve McQueen: The Lost Movie about 'Day of The Champion'?

In the v*deo g*me, Carmageddon, which was heavily inspired by Death Race 2000, you could win a race by either finishing first, killing all the other opponents or raking up the most points from mowing down pedestrians.

Kiss Stanger.

Battered, shattered, creamed and reamed!
