Hell yeah

‘Outrageous Conduct’ isn’t the easiest to track down but I recommend reading it if you’re interested in the Twilight Zone case.

That SNL sketch made me laugh at the time.

My grandfather was a fiend for ice cream novelties and there was a long span in the 90's when he ate a Klondike bar every single night, until he finally burned himself out on them and had to switch to some other frozen treat. In the last couple years of his life, when he was having health issues, he switched to the Klondike Sugar Free variety; that definitely helped offset the cumulative effects from 4 decades of smoking.

Rodgers saying “people” as Heston has permanently entered my brain

Has anyone watched Fubar yet?

looked dodgy

oh hey hi

This really scratched my itch for Giamatti as Einstein, I thought he was kaput

been wanting to get round to this for years, seeing this Ep made me finally fast-track it. Not disappointed. 5 Stars

Disappointed that Stanger didn't rep Norcal by not bringing up It's It while focusing on Klondike bars for 10 minutes.

Jon Ashbrook

Nah dude dats da dumbbells 🤣

Book it’s based on is on Hoopla if your library has a sub. Almost to the meat chapter.

Is the “beef” in the beginning of the movie in actuality supposed to be human flesh?

Joe B

Honestly right now I have a soft spot for Freejack Victor…FABERGE

If this isn’t the best episode yet, then it’s easily top 5 for me. Thanks for covering this, gave me a great excuse to rewatch, hadn’t seen it since high school.

Jon Ashbrook

Tom Tebow now THATS what I'm here for, well done Stanger. 👏 🤣

Who in the ActionBoyz pantheon would you want to cast in this movie just so you could see them do that "It's people!" monologue at the end? I think JCVD for me.

I’ve been anticipating this since the Omega Man episode 😊! 1973 was a great year for movies, including this. The final seen with Sol Roth was one of the first times I teared up watching a movie lol Thanks for the pod, boyz!

In the early 90s Beckett Baseball Card Magazine had an article on Chuck Conners about how he played MLB and NBA before getting into acting. I decided to find his address somehow and send him the article and ask for his autograph and he sent it back signed super promptly. Second best autograph I got that way besides Shawon Dunston.

Soylent Green is made of your mama

Dark Angel Of The Year

Soylent Yellow IS PEEPEE!!!

Adam Kronfeld

I would’ve been a little mad if they hadn’t brought this up. It’s definitely how I learned this movie existed and it was classic early 90s Phil Hartman era SNL, just flogging a premise to death but somehow getting parabolically funnier as it went.

Sam Riebesehl (Reeb-Uh-Shell)

Definitely saw this SNL skit before I ever saw the movie as a kid https://vimeo.com/541196478

Soylent Cow Pies are made out of people! It’s people!!

Dave McM

I don’t have the time or patience 😂

Adam Kronfeld

Pretty sure Landis put “see you next Tuesday” into the movie that Michael and Lola are watching in the Thriller video

The Hunger.

Eww. You listen to Rogan?

Christopher Myers

Enjoyed the btk shout out the only thing my hometown is famous for. He threatened to kill my dog like 3 weeks before he was arrested. Dog kept jumping our fence and he lived a couple blocks down brought it to our door said he'd bash my dogs brain in if got out again. Favorite btk tidbit is that a local strip joint owner was desperate to buy his house after he was arrested so she could open a btk museum in his house and city council was like nah that's fucked

It’s such a shame that Soylent is a plant-based food company when there’s so many bug-based companies out there now. 😕Bugvita instead of Ryvita is probably the best play on words for an alternative food source brand around but I’ll be happy if someone has a better one. If someone told Rogan it was 50 years since Soylent Green it’d give him a priapism and 400hrs (10 episodes) of content. Globalism, insects, the slippery slope, super foods… 😎

Glitter sold his catalogue to pay legal fees (and you shudder to think what else) years ago. Sadly he’s alive and noncing.
