It’s crazy how little Ben knows
Hell yeah
I luv tht ABZ finally covered this!
I told my dad I watched this movie and he quoted the ending speech from the assassin dude that he gave to Robert Redford about being killed in New York

Finally watched this due to this podcast, what a movie. Really curious if the boys have seen the Lee Marvin movie Point Blank
Yup and Payback and the more superior Westlake Parker novels. And yes well do them all at some point.
The Dutch portion comes from Royal Dutch Shell, aka Shell oil
If anyone is looking for a quality, non spring loaded collapsible baton, check out the ASP brand medium length ones
"If"? Do you know where you are?
Just wanna say, re: the microwave meals/carnation instant breakfast talk, it was the perfect innocuous clip to show my mom. Thx ABZ
There’s an old independent radio shack near my office and it’s a weird place. But if I need old tech fixed that’s where I go. Or if I need local honey. They’ve got that too.
The long shirt talk hit close to home.
The big difference between business that seems to last forever with no customers compared to the same lot having 4 different coffee shops in 6 years is simple: they usually own the property and aren't renting. And they haven't taken a deal to be bought out by developers
Eggs have a ton of micronutrients, including being by far the best food source of choline, but basically all of those micronutrients are in the yolk. Dietary cholesterol doesn’t significantly impact blood cholesterol levels for the majority of people. “Yolks are unhealthy” is as outdated as “snackwell’s is healthy.” Not trying to be snarky just hoping to spread the good word. Enjoy your yolks!
Gotta think Choline is the food scientists go to karaoke song.
I can attest that the flared jeans are indeed coming back. There are several youths at work and they all wear basically Jeancos.
Similar to Rodgers' buying a baton as a "cane" story, I had brass knuckles given to me by a friend. He bought them at a gun show, where they were classified as "paperweights" which were right next to switchblades being sold as "straight razors." The real kicker was that he told me the booth selling them was right across from the city police recruitment booth.
I was relistening to the running man episode this weekend (H&M 4/6/17 - 30:54 mark) and 3 days of the candor was referenced as the extreme version of when a person falls in love with their captor. It was funny because they couldn’t think of the actresses name from candor even though gabrus mentioned Faye Dunaway off the bat. Then after a few moments they agreed to just move on.
When I think of Max von Sydow, the movies I think of in order are The Seventh Seal, Flash Gordon and Strange Brew. I know he was in lots of great movies but those are the three that pop into my head first.
Uh... Judge frickin Dredd!
Worked at Auntie Anne's for 15 years... order one fresh with light butter and you'll be in heaven. Only the front of it should be buttered (unless it's cinnamon sugar, that's what it sticks to) but a lot of lazy employees will just dunk them in. If you ask for it light, it's guaranteed fresh AND it won't be slippery and slide right out of you.
MVS is cold as ice in this: the grandfather of every movie assassin antagonist who followed.
it's Warhammer 40k!
Those who know prefer 10k, the underrated prequel.
Kathy’s clown is from waltz #2 by Elliot Smith
Help us out. Walk us through this comment.
This ep made me appreciate the movie more. I didn't like Faye Dunaway the first time I watched it, and I was wrong then. I loved to hear the Max von Sydow appreciation. Would the Action Boyz ever cover a Bergman film? Maybe The Virgin Spring...
Hour of the Wolf for Horror Boyz
Carl Malone has to keep himself in good shape to keep the 13 year old girls interested.
Rodgers has a baton lube guy
You don't?
I think I’ll watch Malone
My mom gets the Sundance clothing catalogue and when I visit and take a shit I look through it. Turquoise necklaces are heavily featured to this day. That necklace must have been Redford wardrobe he brought himself. The man loves turquoise.
First sentence above is peak shadow wolf
I’m curious to hear if this is discussed but I think there was an era a few years back where Hayes D looked just like Redford in this movie
Guess so!
This Property Is SULTRY! https://youtu.be/t4Rb4Ji9U9k
I’ve always wanted to get gator shoes, fedora and 3 piece suit from one of those lower east side places. One day.
Who is the hottest man ever, Redford or Pitt?
Stanger.
I'd love a coffee table book of Big Jon quotes/advice.
Love the Wingdings move by Rodgers. I'm a bit younger than these guys but teachers still weren't tech savvy when I was in school. I would bring in a 3.5" floppy disc and just act befuddled when their was nothing on it or it didn't work.
This movie does a great job establishing how good Redford's life is prior to the office getting shot up. He is forgiven everything just because he's such a stud. Sandwiches on the company dime. I felt very envious.
Someone recommend me a Pollack movie to watch next besides this, Yakuza, Tootsie, They Shoot Horses, Don't They? and The Firm. Because watching this definitely made me want to finally check out more of what he's done.
I’m a big fan of “Castle Keep” (potential ABZ I would imagine)and “The Slender Thread.”
Lookit those sideburn on Redford! He looks like a girl!
Not like Johnny Unitas . There’s a haircut you can set your watch to.
Thanks for making Monday mornings better, Boyz!

Kiss Condor.
Original Beast Wars reference in 2023. I am all about it.
