Not to confuse this isn’t a new version of this fantastic film it’s yet another podcast about it from us. Why? Because it’s Crank 2 any further justification would embarrass the both of us.

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.

224. The Hunter (right click OR click)

Mark and Ian talk about Steve McQueen’s final film. He plays a bounty hunter which sounds cool. In the end the movie is sort of a mess of comedy, action, and drama based on the life of a real bounty hunter.

Despite being set mostly on a train this movie is not as good as an anime series called Baccano! could be that 70′s era train travel isn’t as cool as 30′s? That’s not really a question though is it? This is the movie with Gene Wilder and hints of Richard Pryor though honestly there is far more Pryor in Superman 3.

Mark and Ian, with a little help from Seth, talk about this slightly odd but not really that odd movie. It was a big deal like 13 years ago or something.
