Batman revisited (right click OR click)

Since word just dropped on a release date for Batman 3 (fingers crossed it’s 3D (not really what do I look like …?  okay sound like… okay well yeah 3D is dumb we all know that Roger Ebert thanks))).  I decided to post a bonus podcast taken from one of the many Zack, Blaine, and Ian discussions that don’t make it into a regular podcast.  Enjoy, this has much more Commando discussion then Batman though.

More like Terminator Salavation right?  Okay puns aside this movies’ got real heart;)  Okay we talk about Terminator: Salvation but don’t you Futile Fan fret  because this will not be the last time we talk Terminator.  And by that I don’t mean to ellude to some kind of non-existent sequel, Mac And Me Style.
