Zack, Seth, and Ian talk about the first season of this pretty darn good somewhat different TV show on FX. It’s got the guy from Live Free or Die Trying’… or whatever.  Ian also makes a startling claim about The Wire.  It’s Year 4 of the Futile Podcast all bets are off.  Join us if you can.

222. Betrayed (right click OR click)

Zack tells Ian about this odd little movie from the 80′s.  It’s about how a woman investigates some white supremisists  but they end up being the “good” racists not Nazis or anything … so she is torn as to if she should turn them into her Fed buddies. Yeah a real moral quandary this one.

Batman revisited (right click OR click)

Since word just dropped on a release date for Batman 3 (fingers crossed it’s 3D (not really what do I look like …?  okay sound like… okay well yeah 3D is dumb we all know that Roger Ebert thanks))).  I decided to post a bonus podcast taken from one of the many Zack, Blaine, and Ian discussions that don’t make it into a regular podcast.  Enjoy, this has much more Commando discussion then Batman though.

The Last Boyscout review (right click OR click)

Who knows where life will take us but for now this may be the final Futile Podcast.  Though I’m sure it is quite the whimper to the deafness of the void, I say that this will not be the end.

Ian is joined by Joshua and Matt as they talk about this “realisitic” ish alien nationesque FPS action/mockumentary.  You’ve seen the marketing you’ve hear about it on other media outlets now listen to the Futile Podcast to get all you need to know about District 9.
