263. Last Exile (right click OR click)
Ian talks with Malcolm, and Mychal about the steampunk anime series “Last Exile”. It is really too bad that more straight-up adventure stories of this genre aren’t out there in animated or live action form but this one is definitely a winner.

245. Tron (right click OR click)
We’ve got the Dude and the Scarecrow bustin’ heads and lettin’ the chin music ring out inside the metal box of a computer.
They fight Moses from Southpark for control over all the world’s knowlege way before Sky Net.
They have mouths and occasionally they scream.
We’ll see how the repercussions of this film will be resolved in the upcoming sequel Tron Legacy.
Also, Mark makes his dramatic return to network television on this one.

238. Speedracer (right click OR click)
Don’t get me wrong I love this movie. It was one of the first movies I bought on Blu-Ray and has a handful of moments that I find quite moving and awesome … but that’s not really what Seth and Zack want to talk about on this Futile Podcast.

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.

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.
