2023-09-27 12:46:24 +0000 UTCLmfao, Dustin, I landed kinda late on a Sunday and got McDonald’s. Was given the wrong order and the old lady it was for was so pissed at me.

2023-09-27 10:20:17 +0000 UTCI was so confused when Stanger started talking about "Airjuan" lol. One time I was walking with my infant in a baby bjorn and a dude in a newish Camero nearly hit me while I was WAITING to cross the street, so I kicked his rear bumper (again, I'm still on the sidewalk). He gets out and storms up to me, a man with an infant on his chest, and SHOVED me! I nearly killed that fucker.

2023-09-27 09:37:19 +0000 UTCI remember hearing that Stallone demanded that he score the winning goal, but all of the soccer players on set said that just doesn't happen. And then I saw Liverpool's Alisson (keeper) pull this off (which really doesn't happen) https://youtu.be/CFXkwCtEzDQ?si=uLbiop7kvCzrCtUk

2023-09-27 04:53:01 +0000 UTCIn Spain I ordered a sandwich and was given a bowl of soup. I assumed I fucked up and just started eating the soup without saying anything. Then the waiter brought me my sandwich and realized I was eating the soup meant for some old man next to me. Everyone seemed pretty pissed that I didn't say anything. Also, it was the worst soup I've ever eaten.

2023-09-27 04:32:01 +0000 UTCI have it as a cable tv add-on (and watch though the Rogers Ignite App when I want it on a phone/tablet) but I think you can subscribe and watch with Prime. The current selection of movies listed here… https://hollywoodsuite.ca/movies-on-demand/

2023-09-26 10:06:46 +0000 UTCAnother banger French pow movie is A Man Escaped. Check it out. edit: just wanted to add that all Canadian listeners should subscribe to the Hollywood Suites channels. Victory is airing 3 times today. Another 15 ABz movies are currently ondemand as well as like 20 they will do. And they constantly update. Definitely worth the $5/month or whatever.

2023-09-26 04:40:53 +0000 UTCI really like the programing from Criterion Channel. There are also essays and film historian lectures. TCM use to be great, there was The Underground programing that should cult and forgotten gems. Then the host was fired along with other staff members. I still enjoy Noir Alley with Eddie Muller.

2023-09-26 04:20:01 +0000 UTCThey also had a couple legendary English players which led to all the scenes of them practicing and game footage looking so good

2023-09-26 04:08:53 +0000 UTCJohn Huston might’ve been past his prime by ‘Victory’—though his final film ‘The Dead’ is one of his best—but six years earlier, he made the great Rudyard Kipling adaptation and adventure movie ‘The Man Who Would Be King’ with Michael Caine, Sean Connery, and Christopher Plummer

Can anyone share if the Boyz have recently discussed The Offer? I'm having trouble remembering if I'm thinking about a convo they had RE Leave the Gun, Take the Canoli or if they actually talked about the show.

2023-09-25 21:52:55 +0000 UTCJean Renoir had an incredible run in the late 1930s -- Les bas-fonds (1936), La grande illusion (1937), La Marseillaise (1938), La bête humaine (1938), La règle du jeu / Rules of the Game (1939). All recommended FWIW. Then came the war. He could do it all -- crime stories, historical epics, war dramas, biting satire. Made some interesting stuff in America later on too.
Martin Degrell
2023-09-25 21:37:05 +0000 UTCNever been a huge fan of him, but Pele was an amazing ambassador for the sport, no doubt about that. A true superstar. And so much better than most during his heyday. But his peak came before the advent of modern (/total) football -- arguably 1974 or so -- with players like Cruyff and Beckenbauer. Earlier than that the quality of play was pretty dire. Like most sports I suppose. As for the film, which I've mostly known as "Victory" over the years (the original title according to the sauna), it's one of those weird sleepy matinee movies that the 70s were seemingly full of, with a long-ass cast list and a jokey premise. No Swedish football players among the cast but who cares when von Sydow holds it down.

2023-09-25 20:03:10 +0000 UTCBill Conti is credited as the composer, but this score borrows so much from Dmitri Shostakovich that I have to believe it was written by James Horner.

2023-09-25 17:09:50 +0000 UTC1. Dick Butkus cut me in line for the bathroom in like 2011 2. I'm a huge soccer fan, have been for years, and as a kid i was aware enough of the top stars in europe like Beckham, zinedine zidane, steven gerrard, ronaldo nazario etc etc and I remember learning about Pele and being told how many goals he scored in his career and it blew my mind. 3. W/r/t numbers in soccer the 1-11 numbers are traditionally associated with specific starting positions and it always made me mad that my traveling team # was 38 and it ESPECIALLY pissed me off when our lineup didn't have enough players in the right number with regards to their positions. When ever i played center mid i was satisfied because at least "8" was a center mid number. Anyways, if our gk wanted to be #69 i'd prob go and yell at him that he had to be #1 and he'd prob end up hating me

Gilligan(The marooned Ranchero)
2023-09-25 13:51:24 +0000 UTCOh, thanks for the heads up. I always enjoy the episodes even if I didn't get to do the homework so I didn't worry about it to much. I'll have to keep that in mind for future ones though thanks again.
Gilligan(The marooned Ranchero)
2023-09-25 13:46:45 +0000 UTCI generally don’t like rugby but since it looks like Ireland are on the way to winning and that’ll likely be the only World Cup we’ll win in any sport, it’s now all I care about.

2023-09-25 13:35:36 +0000 UTCI didn't get to see this movie over the weekend because I'm a cheap bastard.
