The Mechanic (1972)
Added 2021-05-31 10:05:01 +0000 UTCYou can have this professional hit done in wood, you can have it in concrete, you can have it in stucco, you can have it with homeoticism. Get your ice cream cones ready Babyz we are reaching back into the Bronsonverse this week. THE MECHANIC is one of his best.

2021-07-30 03:22:44 +0000 UTCI would like to get that contact info for Stanger's ear wax guy. I need a wax off job.

2021-06-04 17:38:01 +0000 UTCThe reveal of Gabrus' larceny was a treat. Was a fan of taking full beer kegs out behind the restaurant in college pretending they were empty (benefit of being one of the people fat enough to change the kegs) and then picking them up after hours, selling them on craigslist. That sounded like I was going to fuck them.

2021-06-02 20:35:48 +0000 UTCRodgers as Bronson: “I need two sets of flippers, one for a guy, don’t worry I know his height and weight” Stanger in Italian accent: “But what are his interests?” I died.

2021-06-02 18:58:21 +0000 UTCMichael Winner’s book, Winner Takes All, is a must read. Some great Bronson and Brando stories. I got mine off eBay and it was signed by Winner, inscribed to Joan Rivers.

2021-06-02 14:32:36 +0000 UTCDon't forget the oddly specific ukulele(s) issue.

2021-06-02 12:58:19 +0000 UTCCharles Bronson has Airwolf. This is not code. He is flying Airwolf because he owns Airwolf. Nothing else he could say would make more sense given what he owns and what he is doing at this moment.

2021-06-02 00:43:40 +0000 UTCAnyone catch the time stamp where Rodgers is talking about Gene Roddenberry? My Trekkie partner will get a kick out of that but I'm too lazy to scan through looking for it :P
balbert
2021-06-01 19:38:32 +0000 UTCI feel like after Twins Double Dating, Rodgers is approaching a Seinfeldian level of comically breaking up with women for transgressions big and small. He probably has a 21 ep season of content - candy bowl, android user, racist

2021-06-01 14:48:44 +0000 UTCStanger - those doctors are bleeding you for something you can do yourself. Use eardrops for a week or two to loosen the wax, then you can flush 'em out at home using a store bought syringe and warm water ... it's gross but great

2021-05-31 22:44:54 +0000 UTCSecond week in a row Stanger had an opening to reboot his 2001: A Space Odyssey character (a fan favorite) and missed it. No wonder the guy played fullback.

2021-05-31 20:49:42 +0000 UTCApropos of nothing in this episode, I’ve genuinely grown to love Gabrus’ Dad, and I am sorry you lost him.

2021-05-31 18:12:03 +0000 UTCHad to change my last name on here... was wondering when my ABZ board name would write itself in a cold open. Thanks guys!
Conor Hunter
2021-05-31 17:38:01 +0000 UTCMaybe I misread the scene, but Harry makes it seem like him and Bronsons dad were good fiends. Like they hung out while he was a little kid having trouble swimming. But Bronsons so freaking old looking I didn’t buy it. It made me look it up, and the actors are only 5 years apart!!

2021-05-31 17:11:47 +0000 UTCI'd like tho thank the brave men and women who made it possible for me to wake up on a rainy Monday morning, watch a Bronson/Jan-Michael Vincent classic for the first time, and then listen to a 3 hour podcast, all while getting stoned. Glory be to the father...
Conor Hunter
2021-05-31 16:20:22 +0000 UTCNever thought it would happen to me...but had my own “Stanger of my friend group” moment when he mentioned his English breakfast tea habit....this is going to take me a while to process. Take care Action Faction, if you listen long enough, it’ll happen to you...
Joe B
2021-05-31 16:14:52 +0000 UTCHad an intense flashback during this episode. My uncle would watch this movie on repeat and it would be on when we visited. He’d use the “…and he’s got a machine gun” line whenever something went wrong at a family function. Great episode guys!

2021-05-31 15:32:20 +0000 UTCWhen I was a kid I didn’t understand that Nightcrawler was trying to assassinate the president in the beginning of X2. I just thought tying a message to a knife and jamming it into the Oval Office’s desk was a really powerful way to deliver a message.
