No word from Nikil and the boys over at N+1 on this one yet: http://www.nplusonemag.com/inception

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. 

music:

Jon Anderson - Loved by the Sun

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.

214. The NeverEnding Story (right click OR click)

music:

Passport -  Eternal Spiral

213. The Burbs (right click OR click)

Ian and Mark talk about this Joe Dante film from the late 80′s.  A simpler time when Tom Hanks movies were  a little more fun than they are now.  Though at its heart this film is quite dark.

Watch out Tom, that guy was in The Last Unicorn

Jerry Goldsmith – Patton (theme)

212. Any Which Way You Can (right click OR click)

Mark and Ian make good on their promise and get back to this Clint classic.  In this movie we learn that too much alcohol can make you think a monkey looks like an old lady.  And that there are … good Neo-Nazis?
