This is a good movie and a pretty solid podcast from Joshua and Ian (me).  I have to admit that I enjoyed this film much more on a second viewing when it was further removed from dashed expectations.

"Thank you, there are only 13 shows left."

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.

Zack and Ian are back in futile form for this one. Is it the new Citzen Kane? Or is it just what you get when you have a talented group of people make a movie about shallowness and the computers that they use for love ?

Zack, Seth, and Ian go for both.  It’s a great chat about 80′s action movies and the pathology of modern subculture.
