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.

226. Predators (right click OR click)
Zack, Seth, and Ian talk about the newest Predator movie. Ian talks about an idea for a Rom-Com that might be relevant to Pre-Daters. Zack talks about the Micheal Crichton post-humously published book: Pirate Latitudes. Maybe a pirate movie with Predators? I don’t know something different would be nice. But you know good.

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.

223. Harry Brown and Kick Ass (right click OR click)
Mark and Ian talk vigilante justice. One movie is about a British pensioner who takes out the trash and another is about a British kid that is pretending to be a ‘merican nerd-boy that wants to fight for love or some such thing.

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.

Here’s a fun-sized-futile-mini-bonus podcast where my oft mentioned but rarely present brother Seth regales Zack and Ian with a quick review of the Roland Emmerich … movie? 2012.

218. Gamer (right click OR click)
I don’t know what is what with this one. I mean the Crank guys make this and they use Law Abiding Citizen too but not even Terry Crews or Keith David can quite make this movie work … But we talk about it anyway and discuss the important issues of what happens when people treat people like this:

217. Fargo (right click OR click)
Mark and Ian, with a little help from Seth, talk about this slightly odd but not really that odd movie. It was a big deal like 13 years ago or something.

music: NO MUSIC THIS WEEK (think of snow and cold but not Verspertine cold I don’t know maybe … like something Danny Elfmanesque)
216. LadyHawke (right click OR click)
Mark and Ian talk about the Donner disaster (too harsh? probably) LadyHawke (pronounced “lady” “Hockey”). Though the film has its problems, it does look quite good in places. And that’s probably because they went to real places to shoot it. Thumbs down to green screen environments.
