The theme tonight is the chase or the hunt of a person. This is loosely organized around our discussion of the Coen Bros. new film No Country For Old Men, as well as The Bourne Ultimatum, and Hitman.

podcast Zero Zero One(right click, save as)

This is the infamous “lost” first episode. I’ve been kind of lazy lately and so it’s come to this; posting one of our first recordings. Here we talk about such current films as 300, The Good Shepard the Leprechaun and Conan Continuity. Then we talk about what makes a “good” creator of a franchise or show. This leads us to talk about George Lucas, J.J. Abrams, Genndy Tartakovsky, and Matt Stone and Trey Parker.
