Hell yeah

Will See

I’ve been listening to Bronson Pinchot non stop reading this 1940s book series called Lanny Budd. He’s very good.

Kevin Fennell

I’m begging the Boyz to please do Night of the Juggler. https://youtu.be/53G-Zls9Oh8

Adam from Minneapolis

I listen to a lot of movie podcasts hosted by white guys and this is definitely the best one. Worth the $8. Thank you.

Byron

Definitely cartoons - or really any other childhood media. How about the new American Gladiators Netflix series? It's no Last Dance, but there's a few fun characters in that!

Luke Whitfield

More cartoons, please, this was a blast. Maybe blatant ripoffs like Street Sharks or Silverhawks. Or ones that were surprisingly adult like Exosquad.

A cool cartoon you could do that I think would qualify as an action boy movie is “Fist of the North Star.” It’s an anime movie from 1986. It has big Mad Max vibes, very graphic but stylized violence and it’s cheesy enough that it’s a fun watch overall.

I looked up "The Sea Hawk" because I thought it was weird that a guy would say his favorite director was "Michael Curtiz, director of "The Sea Hawk" instead of "Michael Curtiz, director of fucking Casablanca" and guess who wrote the score? You guessed it: Erich Wolfgang Korngold.

Jesus Christ, I don't know how it is in LA but you can get a much better phone for the price than an iphone

GI Joe was not really a thing in Europe when I grew up, but it wasn't until recently that I found out that the Action Force brand of action figures, which I always thought was just a cheap GI Joe knockoff, was in fact based on GI Joe (and Action Man). I'm guessing the name didn't fly here since "GI" is an unfamiliar concept. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_Force

LMAO

tmcms

Awesome episode. I good with whatever movie they pick.

John McClane

they would still have to know what the swipe-pattern was, so we should be good

Moses Malone

I was fully prepared to nit pick this episode to death but you did this old Joe nerd proud. Thanks Boyz

My favorite 9/11 moment was seeing Bill Paxton telling James Cameron how Steve Rannazzi saved everyone in tower 2

Kubu

Dude, I’d pay more for another tier where you guys watch like an episode of gi joe or transformers or Rambo once a month. This was a hilarious ep

Ben Murphy

Please watch Project A and Project A 2. You will LOVE them. You can rent them online now (used to be way harder to find) but they're still not streaming, unfortunately.

Nolan-Globus

I'd love another episode about GI Joe focusing on the relationships of Flint and Lady Jay, Duke and Scarlett, as well as Destro and Baroness. Was real bummed to learn that Duke, my least favorite Joe is from my hometown of St. Louis.

Jack McReynolds

Black Sunday (1977) is on Prime.

Michael Pemulis

Not that it is a democracy, do what you’re excited for, but I think another cartoon block would be great. I would especially be interested in your take on the ultra-80s sub genre of rated R movies turned into cartoons to sell toys. I remember wanting to watch the Rambo cartoon, but not doing it because I thought it would somehow be dirtier than GI Joe. And that my parents would be disappointed in me.

What about the android fingy pattern? Can they compell my fingies?

Max Power

Not that any janitors would need it, but for the more paranoid of us cops or feds don’t need a warrant to access your phone if you use biometrics. They can take your phone and open it with your face or finger and have unlimited legal access. They can’t do that with a passcode.

John

Ben, wait until you read about Loki’s children, not counting his 8-legged bastard horse kid.

Oh my god this episode was so fun and so funny. You guys gotta do more gi joe episodes. So good!

Ben Murphy

Loved the Prey books as a teen. Probably read a dozen of them. Always pictured David Strathairn as Lucas Davenport for some reason.

Jesse Crap

Shipwreck is straight up channeling Jack Nicholson in The Last Detail, I dig his vibe.

Eric Manch

The Definitive Guide to Norse Mythology. I did the same damn thing at Barnes and Noble a few months ago. That was a hell of a bargain! 🤣🤣

Brian is a fellow janitor

Breaker wasn’t the “computer expert” he was communications. Carried the field radio on his back and he rocked and I loved him. Very much.

Richard Trickle

The Action Boyz as the stars / show runners of a GI Joe Animated Series re-boot would be an absolute smash hit

Canadian Day Player

Boys, if you like Norse mythology, definitely check out Neil Gaimans norse mythology book. The audiobook is great, Gaiman does an excellent job reading it - its awesome as hell!

Clance Scranclenuts

Breaker was always my favorite Joe. Lotta summers in the 80’s spent running around the woods with fake guns fighting Cobra.

Richard Trickle

BTW, agreed there’s no need to pay out the ass for TM, and you definitely don’t have to because David Lynch takes you through it in his MasterClass.

Bluvbot

Brian Atene we know you’re an Action Boy, show yourself

Brix

An excellent book about the Vikings: Children of Ash and Elm: A History of the Vikings https://a.co/d/4CWtcgI

Adam Lewis

That Alan Moore collection was really good I thought, although many of the stories were collected/expanded so I'd read them before. The big one at the end on the comic book industry was very interesting, sort of a coda to Moore's career, although it took me a while to decipher who was who.

Eugenio Triana

The writers/toy creators managed to sneak humour and innuendo into GI Joe names and file cards that flew over kids heads. Cold Slither is a cracking ep and decent band name.

Dave McM

Hell yeah
