Deconstructing 80's & 90's action movies. Relating them to comics, TV, and cartoons from then and now.

264. Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

264. Who Framaed Roger Rabbit (right click OR click)

Zack and Ian talk about this odd little Disneyesque adult neo-noir. And I suppose how impressively strange it is that this movie was ever made.

263. Last Exile

263. Last Exile (right click OR click)

Ian talks with Malcolm, and Mychal about the  steampunk anime series “Last Exile”. It is really too bad that more straight-up adventure stories of this genre aren’t out there in animated or live action form but this one is definitely a winner.

Zack and Ian give their takes on the 2011 WonderCon. They got to see some cartoons (Green Lantern Emerald Knights, Wolverine Anime clip), some movie panels (Hana and her Cowboys and Aliens)  and listen to some writers and creators like Paul Dini, Alan Burnett, Stan Berkowitz, and Bruce Timm, Pendelton Ward.  It was fun on the Bun!

252. The Walking Dead ep. 1 (right click OR click)

250. Sherlock ep.1

250. Sherlock ep.1 (right click OR click)

Zack and Ian end the old year and start the new one with a hefty discussion about detectivish goodness. Sherlock is one of the best new shows to be sure. Doing the detective genre in a fun/modern way without turning it into CSI garbage. Tune in next week for ep. 2-3 and a little hint of a clue as to the show Ian is currently writing that will be the biggest thing in 2022.

247. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

247. Ninja Turtles Video podcast!

We recorded this one after watching the movie on Blu-Ray at Matt’s place. We used the Canon T2i to do this so the audio is not so great but the image is spectacular.
