The Last Boyscout review (right click OR click)

Who knows where life will take us but for now this may be the final Futile Podcast.  Though I’m sure it is quite the whimper to the deafness of the void, I say that this will not be the end.

Punisher Warzone review (right click or click)

Zack and Blaine are in hog heaven talking about all the great stuff in this reboot/sequel/who care what it’s  called, for the Punisher franchise.  The real thing that excites me is that Dominic West from The Wire is playing the main baddy and he’s joined with Irish Pirate Jamacian acrobats.

Total Recall review (right click OR click)

It’s all about the splendor of  80’s action movie violence and maliciousness of their protagonists.  This one is a classic and every good podcast out there has done their review (SEE archives of:  The Greatest Movie Ever, and Fast Karate For the Gentlemen)

The favorite quote in the option of Zack is:  “De were going to kill me so I killed dem.”  Which I think Nikil and the boys at N+1 could certainly find relevant to the American hyper-Capitalist psyche of the 1980’s.    email:  Futilepodcast@gmail.com

 

 

musics:

Astrobotnia – Hallo

Royksopp – In Space

Cliffhanger review (right click OR click)

This is a good one.  I’m sure Nikil and the boys and N+1 have got quite the opinion on the portrayl of soccer players, esspecially strikers.  He/they might want to check out this article written by Jay over at Filmjunk.  It might remind Nikil about something he may have overlooked as his career as a film critic started booming.
