Jane as splinter 😂
Hell yeah
It's truly so wild that you guys went on an extended tangent about TMNT 3 without bringing up that Stuart Wilson is the bad guy in both of them! He even falls to his death in water in both movies. I was young enough in the 90s to truly love the third turtles movie, me and my brother watched it all the time. When I saw Wilson in this, I immediately went oh shit, it's the British guy from turtles 3.
I got too hung up on Lance not being a villain, he looked hardcore cult leader here.
They got good rats
Stanger with the Chef’s Table Pizza reference, sick
Gabrus said the Asian guy was in jail for “doing a hadoken”. I can’t stop laughing about that one

They fuck you on the tickets. I had a speeding ticket that ballooned up with surcharges to 3k. For 13 years I had that shit hanging over my head. Finally due to Covid they dropped all that shit.
Some janitor on youtube described the action in this movie as "peter pan shit" lol
On the subject of movies about future prisons, I hope someday the Boyz get around to FORTRESS starring everyone’s favorite Euro trash, Christopher Lambert
The Condemned with Stone Cold. There's also one with Guy Pierce.
An urban legend around my high school was that a coach kept wiping his mouth and had white stuff around it. The story goes he went down on his gf and got a yeast infection in his mouth. Men can get them
I’ve been thinking a lot about the explanation from Stella Maris about why suicide by drowning is actually the worst way to go. Falling from the sky sounds dope though.
I never realized that whenever they aren’t talking they are pissing. that’s so much PPE (piss per episode) value!
Mason from Surviving the Game would thrive in Absolom
Bitch
They gaslit each other into thinking they didn't cover a movie they covered.
They didnt do Soldier.
Dragons Forever in Kung Fubruary
Rodgers should play Captain N in a reboot/sequel as a broken middle-aged man still wearing that jacket...nothing else that interesting happens.
I think the New Yorker's Terence Rafferty described "No Escape" as "a movie about, and for, desperate men." Sounds like a podcast I know.
The Joe Rogan Experience?
As usual, a terrific episode. I'm glad Rodgers brought up the main villain from Cherry 2000. He has one of my favorite lines in recent memory ("Be yourselves"). I remember Ian McNeice as the guy in Rome who read all the news to the people. He also played an evil Nazi in Conspiracy.
Fun watch. In response to the fun bad movie talk; Samurai Cop stars Stallone's once bodyguard, I saw it in theater last year. It is bad and it is fun.
Also features Robert Z'Dar who has come up a number of times
The princess in Captain N: The Game Master is Palutena from Kid Icarus, kinda impressed that Captain N was pulling that kinda tang tbh
Captain N was a close cousin of Kidd Video, which is one of my favorite examples of how bad the 80s could get https://youtu.be/jVg1wvvxXsw
No Escape, AKA the “Rodgers’ mic sucks” episode
Don’t be a dick Mr Dong .
finally reading The First Law books by Joe Abercrombie. I’m hooked. On “Best Served Cold” currently. My girlfriend is mad, wants me to be more “present” and “generally available” because all weekend I “had my nose in a book”. Thanks ABZ!
Hell yea. Those books are all really great
Running on Empty—which has a similar premise to Little Nikita and also stars River Phoenix and came out the same year—is a better movie, though that’s more of a drama than an action movie.
This was escape from absolom for me in 90s Australia
I had forgotten most of this movie, except the good guys' armor looking like the lost boys from Hook. This and Waterworld would play well together. Wildly charismatic bad guys. Similar production designs. White haired scientist inventing a vehicle.
No Escape really unlocked some doors in the Memory Palace for me. I watched this movie only once on VHS at an ex-girlfriend's lake house and loved it.
Where did people in the U.K. watch it? I can’t find it. 😕
In NZ it was called Escape from Absolom, maybe look for that?
Of all his movies, this was the first one I thought of when I heard Ray Liotta died
Can't wait to watch this gem when I get home
What Star Trek movie did the main bad guy come out of? So funny when he's just running and randomly impaled that little person
I know him as the bad guy from Lethal Weapon 3 and Mask of Zorro.
The two knives out movies are so bad.
first one was ok but Glass Onion: A Knives Out Murder Mystery Tale was bad
They do background checks for the service academies (plus you have to have a congressional nomination) and to get any kind of security clearance.
was Son of a Preacher Man just generally a hot oldie in 1994? I laughed pretty hard when they threw it on at the Christmas party because I thought they were just ripping off Pulp Fiction for no reason, but appearantly this came out 7 months earlier? So I guess Tarantino might have caught this in the theater and decided to use it. Same with Boogie Shoes, where this was appearantly the first of a bunch of 90s movies to use it.
Kiss Stanger.
Listen to the Lost Boyz episode. It’s very emotional and it all has to do this kiss Stanger phenomenon.
I love this show so damn much. Words can’t express how happy it makes me. Thank you action boyz
Big agree, this show brings me so much joy. Super thankful for it.
