228. Real Genius (right click or click)

Mark makes his dramatic return to talk about this seminal coming of age 80′s comedy that most people probably don’t like because it lacks a smarmy unlikeable Matthew Broderickesque character. Oh wait he’s sort of the bad guy in this movie. Real Genius and Revenge of the Nerds paved the way for the society we have today where not being a nerd makes you a social pariah.

220. The Seven Year Itch (right click OR click)

I: Cube – Adore

212. Any Which Way You Can (right click OR click)

Mark and Ian make good on their promise and get back to this Clint classic.  In this movie we learn that too much alcohol can make you think a monkey looks like an old lady.  And that there are … good Neo-Nazis?

210. The Informant and A Serious Man (right click OR click)

Zack and Ian hark back to the good ole’ days of the Futile Podcast and do about 3 or 4 movie reviews in one.  We discuss the themes and the ideas at play in these films.   It is all very technical and not for the layperson … yeah right.
