232. Justified (right click or click)
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.

231. Crank 2 (right click OR click)
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.

230. The Expendables and Scott Pilgrim
230. Expendable Pilgrim (right click OR click)
Zack, Seth, and Ian go for both. It’s a great chat about 80′s action movies and the pathology of modern subculture.

229. The Book of Eli (right click OR click)
Mark and Ian talk about this serviceable Post-Ap. Denzel is kind of wasted and Oldman has a little fun but isn’t what I’d like him to be. Really this just makes me want to watch Beyond Thunderdome again.

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.

No word from Nikil and the boys over at N+1 on this one yet: http://www.nplusonemag.com/inception
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.
music:
Jon Anderson - Loved by the Sun
221. Silver Streak (right click OR click)
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.

*bonus points if you’ve seen Lost Highway or own this soundtrack or Outside, it’s all pretty solid
220. The Seven Year Itch (right click OR click)
Mark and Ian talk about this movie from 1955 Marty! It might be “dirtier” than just about any of these gross out rom-coms the kids eat up these days. It’s the one with this:
