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.

Mark makes his dramatic return to talk about this seminal coming of age 80’s comedy that most people probably don’t like because it lacks a smarmy unlikeable Matthew Broderickesque character. Oh wait he’s sort of the bad guy in this movie. Real Genius and Revenge of the Nerds paved the way for the society we have today where not being a nerd makes you a social pariah.

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.

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
223. Harry Brown and Kick Ass

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.
music:
Is Ellipsis – Dead Right
222. Betrayed

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.
