The deep V sweater is something I remembered.
Coming back to this one after 2 months. Still rips
clear your throat stanger please
In honor of the Oscar’s. The best Oscar movie is Hard To Kill ,go see it
This is a movie I should have watched years ago, and I loved it. Glad you guys covered it
Stanger plugged Zenith like five times, clearly in the pocket of big wooden tv
Gabrus was clearly doing the Ace Ventura 2 "some thing on the wing" bit but he wouldn't fess up to it.
Yikes. Just saw this interview with Stone. "I lost custody of my child when the judge asked my child, ‘Do you know your mother makes sex movies?’ Like this kind of abuse by the system that considered what kind of parent I was because I made that movie... people are walking around with no clothes on at all on regular tv now... maybe like 16th of a second of possible nudity of me and now I lost custody. I lost custody of my child."
Great username.
My favorite pussy eater.
Lousy thrarch weather
A gun that shoots icepicks
Yeah. High beams, man. I had lasik a few years back and have halo issues with lights at night. What about light bars? How the fuck are they legal?
Saw this article recently that explained that the real issue is that American cars are, quite simply, too gosh-darn big. Headlights on SUVs and trucks are higher off the ground and wind up pointed right at drivers' eyes. The problem is compounded by misaligned lights and newer cars that use white/blue spectrum beams. https://www.businessinsider.com/american-drivers-have-a-blinding-headlight-problem-2023-2
"Empire penguin" My god, Stanger.
Whoops “Emperor penguin” Thank you so much Josh Hobbs - that could have been a disaster
I rented a tiny little fiat in Italy and felt like I was Jason Bourne driving through Florence keeping up with traffic. Another tourist just stepped into the road and I thwapped his elbow with the side mirror as I drove by. It was pretty thrilling.
If Basic Instinct is the last / zenith of the 80s-style psychosexual thriller, then In the Cut (Jane Campion, 2003) starring Mark Ruffalo (in his best role, imo) Meg Ryan, and Jennifer Jason Leigh is its second coming. While the title sucks, and the poster for the film sucks, it is a legitimate overheated sex freakout featuring a serial killer, scumbag cops, and absolutely amazing cinematography. It’s on Hulu right now, definitely worth checking out if you haven’t already seen it.
I forgot how deep that green V is sheesh
I wanna wish everyone an early 311 day. It's Saturday, come original with your amber energy and get down, down.
Took a tour of Berkeley on a college visit in 1997. Thanks to that connection I’ll always be the Stanger of my friends group.
The Tom Sizemore death prediction episode AKA the Pubis Preference episode
We went to see this movie in the theaters when it came out. Maybe 15 minutes into the film, the woman in the other couple walked out and her boyfriend followed shortly thereafter to see if she was okay. We found them sitting in the lobby after the movie was over. The sexual violence was too much for her but they still waited the extra 2 hours for the movie to end. I would have just gone to a bar or home. Very polarizing responses to this movie
I saw Iron Man 3 and sitting next to me was a family. Any time a woman's body was shown or any sort of sexual situation theyd grab their kids and make them hide their face into the seat. Just jamming these kids into the seats. The kid next to me would be like "can I look now?" until the woman's leg or abs were off screen. They didn't mind any of the violence towards women. A villian lady has her face literally melted off. That's fine for this little kid. But abs? Fuck no! Way to create a serial killer guys... Btw I'm not equating them to the gal from your story. These people were clearly psychos.
Another underrated actor like Tobolowsky who can do smart, dumb, high status and low status all believably is Stephen Root.
Surprised Stanger wasn’t called out on his pronunciation of Fordham. Isn’t it “Ford-em” and not “For-Damn”?
Rogers impersonation of Sharon Stone had me cracking up 😂
The most erotic film in the ABZ library.
Genuine question: WTF was Tramell’s motivation for all that shit? Inspiration for another book or purely that she was a serial killer? It seems so much work for all the risk and no immediate gain. 🤯
I think she was just bored and wanted to see what would happen.
Thrillarch is my favorite month
I have also heard cocaine referred to as "yummy". It was by none other than Adam Corolla in an episode of his podcast many, many years ago. I wonder if Stanger also listened to that episode and was recalling that exact moment. It would make sense, given how similar we are.
Nothings been the same in the community since Hell came to Rope Town
I don't know that an actor in his late 40's was necessarily too old for the lead in this, but with Michael Douglas in particular that's a high-mileage late 40's. The face lift and makeup are doing a lot, but every time you get Nick in close-up you get a good look at his eyes, where there's no hiding the damage from two solid decades of cigarettes and cocaine. That said, his energy and look are perfectly in-line with the character and the movie's overall vibe.
Lovin Stang's fake Esterhaus trivia.
W/r/t the finger sucking "it looks like a wing stop ad" lmao
Where the fuck is Stanger Bot
Roaming the wasteland. Looking for somebody.
Absolutely floored by the new theme.
Really like the Jeanne Quadruple Horn line.

I be legume’n?
Disappointed Gabrus didn't reference Fatal Instinct.
BAM Lisa...needs...braces. DIES

“There’s no Hoberman either!” “I didn’t say Hoberman, I said Basicinstinct!”
Love the concept of ThrillBoyz, but you surfers on the erotic ocean are only halfway to where you're inevitably heading - your 5 hour recap of Henry & June
Surfers on the erotic ocean was the name of my high school band.
“Don’t Knock it ‘til You try it.”
Great episode pic, Nick's hot clubbing sweater cracks me up every time. Also this movie made me try a black jack, and I'm here to tell you that it's exactly as gross as mixing scotch, kahlua & lemon juice sounds.
Good God.
