After a long period to allow the earth to cool Ian embarks on viewing this Cameron cash cow. What will he think? … ? Listen to find out.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (right click or click)

Joshua and Ian talk about how one distinguishes Batman from Batman Beyond. I dare say that all this crap about multiple Batman’s or Batman as an idea, etc. No Batman is a man Batman is Bruce Wayne. This kid does pretty good though against old Jack.

Ian and Zack sit down with these 2 art pieces about the nature of cinema and what it can do.

Another somewhat random hodge podge of stuff from Zack and Ian. Enjoy it while it lasts.

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.

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!
