Added 2024-05-06 07:00:09 +0000 UTCThe boyz discuss The River Wild.

I’ve enjoyed AB for a couple years but it seems to have lost the joy it used to have. Now it’s just Rodgers lecturing the audience & his co-hosts about why they’re wrong about the movie. If the pod ever regains its former sense of fun I’ll happily re-subscribe.

2024-10-10 06:13:43 +0000 UTCThe idea that someone got mad because you said Australia is racist is hilarious. Not ONLY is Australia horribly racist, it's horribly sexist as well, lol!
Bugshit
2024-05-18 13:50:12 +0000 UTCHate to re-litigate the drama but... Australia is very racist. So many Maori move to Oz for the great pay but move back to NZ because of the racism.

2024-05-13 01:03:47 +0000 UTCI’m 49, so I’m probably older than the vast majority of the people that listen to this podcast. It just bummed me out that the little kid in this movie was wearing a Ministry hat. One of my favorite bands in the late 80’s and 90’s. The Lollapalooza hat, Jane’s Addiction mention and Ministry hat seemed oddly wedged into this wack film and it made no sense. There were no 10 year olds listening to industrial metal in 1994. Jane’s addiction were in the first year of Lollapalooza in ‘91.

2024-05-09 23:14:17 +0000 UTCI’d just like to say that I’m not racist

2024-05-08 18:09:45 +0000 UTCAlso shout out to Shotgun Eddy's in Wisconsin. Some dope white water rafting that is fun buck also intense at times.
Dan Skisak
2024-05-08 15:34:53 +0000 UTCGreat episode but sounds like I can skip this one for now. I still need to see The Edge, I saw its trailer a bunch on vhs tapes.
Dan Skisak
2024-05-08 15:33:58 +0000 UTCAmen, friend. It's been a fairly long drought of truly debasing bits & this ep had several. Real 2019 ABz energy.

2024-05-08 00:46:00 +0000 UTCFavourite part of this movie was Meryl Streeps mother comparing her daughterd marriage problems to her husband going deaf. "You don't think I wanted to quit too?"

2024-05-07 15:05:15 +0000 UTCHey I rowed in college and coached college after. She does well. I break it down to arms, body, legs on the recovery(coming up to take a stroke). Then legs, body, arms on the drive(taking a stroke). Most people at the gym screw up that sequencing and don’t get the shoulders in front of the hips on the recovery, and opening the body too early on the drive. Eric Murray (Nzl 2xGold) has a free you tube channel where you can erg along, he will coach you through it, give tips, Peloton like format.

2024-05-07 14:21:57 +0000 UTCI'm glad I watched the movie this week so I could appreciate his Straithairn impression.
David Bauer
2024-05-07 12:55:48 +0000 UTCRodgers with an effortlessly great Straithairn impression. Well done sir!

2024-05-07 12:20:49 +0000 UTCJosh Crosby, the Apple Fitness Plus rowing instructor and "a world champion with the US National Rowing Team" teaches you to row like this: 60% of the power of the row is from your legs, so you start by pushing into the footboards like you're trying to jump into the wall behind you; once your legs are extended you get another 20% of power from your core, leaning from around a 2 o'clock position forward to 10 o'clock back; the final 20% is from your arms, pulling straight into you mid-chest. You reverse it on the way back. It's all one smooth motion but in order, so like The Boyz say you don't start bringing you knees up until the handle has cleared them (because you've extended you arms and hinged forward). And I would never, never tell anyone at the gym this. Never.
Callum Taylor
2024-05-07 09:23:47 +0000 UTCThe boys are spot-on with this one. And the rowing stuff.
Callum Taylor
2024-05-07 09:15:56 +0000 UTCWow, I wouldn't expect it to be so blatant. At least not in a capital city. Jesus. Normally it's the sort of 'we don't see race' sort of shit where no one talks about it openly but it's baked into the way we treat people. From the day to day right-wing Murdock newspapers spouting tripe about 'African gangs' to high level politics. Hell, last year Australia held a referendum on recognising Aboriginal Australian in the constitution with a pretty inert Indigenous Voice to Parliament council and it was a resounding "No" vote. Wankers. (source: am Australian)

2024-05-07 01:51:16 +0000 UTCHey Ben thanks so much for the rec on Jacobson's "Nuclear War." Now I gotta explain why I'm completely fucking checked out for the foreseeable future. Thrilling and terrifying read. What do you think is scarier: "fire on warning" policy, the inability to recall/shut off nukes, or the seemingly inevitable failure of mutually assured destruction?

Schwangs
2024-05-06 21:56:41 +0000 UTCLeighton Meester was mentioned as the young girl in Eyes Wide Shut. But, it's actually Leelee Sobieski. Which I only need to mention because when Joy Ride came out, I had a huge crush on her.
JarredPalmer
2024-05-06 21:37:17 +0000 UTCMeryl Streep’s salary for 'slumming it' in this movie was probably less than what Anthony Hopkins makes for showing up for two minutes in a Thor movie.
Cale Woods
2024-05-06 21:12:01 +0000 UTCBacon’s character destroying Sean Astin’s fish trap in WWS is arguably worse than anything that happens in Sleepers.
Adam Ross
2024-05-06 20:08:37 +0000 UTCSo at my high school our Cross Country coach was an absolute machine. He was known for biking all over the place and then slinging it on his back and running back to school. He was deaf and taught ASL classes. Our school team was pretty successful, but a guy in the class below me who trained under this Teacher/Coach went on to win an Olympic gold medal!

Roscoe 112
2024-05-06 16:55:09 +0000 UTCHaving a scene like the opening of History of Violence with Bacon and JCR would really elevate this movie.
Jason E Becker
2024-05-06 16:29:53 +0000 UTCI think cold open of them doing a robbery would be cool
bloodflart
2024-05-06 16:28:02 +0000 UTCGreat movie. I like how bacon and John C try the path of least resistance first and just try to get down the river without revealing their bad guys. Ben is right, they probably should have shown they’re real bad guys first, because im sure every trailer made back then showed that they were bad guys, it’s not a twist.
Swimfan69
2024-05-06 16:17:40 +0000 UTCCurtis Hanson’s ‘Bad Influence’ seems like a future shoo-in for the show, but I’d love to hear ‘Wonder Boys’ covered on Shadow Wolves.

Daniel_
2024-05-06 15:13:48 +0000 UTCWhite Water Summer is the perfect Shadow Wolves movie. I will really need the cool-down for that one. Love u Stang. Edit: I got laid off with a bunch of people on Thursday and I was really looking forward to the dependable Monday episode this week amidst some serious fucking limbo. I have been laughing my ass off so hard when I really needed it. Thank u boyz.

2024-05-06 13:31:38 +0000 UTCThat's crazy Gabris having the X-Men: Wolverine Origin bootleg dvd with the unfinished special effects, I had the same one, it's as funny as he says, and i remember also thinking "this sucks" and still it's the only way I've seen that movie
Brix
2024-05-06 13:29:07 +0000 UTCJean Claude Van Damme as an alternate world French Canadian Wolverine would have been pretty epic.
Gilligan(The marooned Ranchero)
2024-05-06 13:27:38 +0000 UTCNot done with the episode yet, but I’m surprised the Boyz haven’t brought up that River Wild is Kevin Bacon’s SECOND heel turn in a white water rafting themed adventure movie. His first one was 1987’s “White Water Summer” with Sean Astin. The characters are so similar that the movie might as well be the Wade origin story. EDIT: STANGER is the MVP of the episode for shouting out White Water Summer!
Fred Skull
2024-05-06 13:19:13 +0000 UTCI thought the Dad was the main douche from the start and Bacon would cuck him. Felt like overworking Dad was always the bad guy in the 90s

Art S
2024-05-06 10:24:08 +0000 UTCI'm early into the ep, so it may come up. But if you're ever playing Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon this movie is essential. This and Flatliners.
