We discuss some of our favorite films of the year as it comes to a close. We note that most of the Oscar calibre films are not currently playing in our neck of the woods as such the podcast is lacking in the more high brow angle. topics of discussion and thing mentioned briefly include:
- Rule 34
- Gary Cole
- Rogen and Cera backlash
- the rise of the pathetic protagonist
- la Beouf’s multiple PR personalities
- the joy of unexpected contextual and tonal changes
- death by Daewoo
- Hetero = Bad
- Ellisverse

Lethal Weapon review (right click OR click)
“The bullet in the close-up is what’s called a fullmetal jacket.” It is most definitely not a hollow point.
Merry Christmas from the Futile Podcasters and may all your dreams for 2009 come true!

Mostly it’s about handle bar moustaches and their sheer awesomeness. It’s also about The Machine.

Transporter 3 review (right click OR click)
Frank gets in the car and with him of course is some dramatic foil. It’s good times but not great times though their is a train so I can’t help but love it just a little more than I should. Also, in keeping with our theme of pandering to women Zack’s newest written review for Punisher: Warzone is out.

It’s director Lexi Alexander is a woman who, like Kathryn Bigelow director of Point Break, seems to be quite adept at crafting a terrible action movie.

It has been brought to my attention that we’ve been metering out more than our fair share of misogyny on the podcast latey. As such I will make a sincere effort to “cut out the bad parts” as some dictator might say to his subordinates prior to culling the ranks of any unwanted or offensive members. I am sure that the podcast can be both entertaining and free of offense. If there is anything else you listeners would like me to address in terms of the technical quality or content of the episodes please feel free to email the podcast. That is why I put it in every post and say it in every episode.
