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.

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.

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?

202. Popularity (right click OR click)
Posted just a few minutes before the end of my birthday. Horrah I got a rejection from the SxSW film fest today for a present. So I’ll probably post the said rejected short online soon. I did a little too much work outside in the rain today, so I feel kind of bad. I’ll just say it’s the end of the beginning.
