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.

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.
