We talk about a bunch of crap in this podcast and it all ends up making quite a bit of sense.  If you are offended then you’re probably part of what’s wrong with ‘merica so you can git out.  No seriously, I am not amused if you’re not amused so take it easy and enjoy.  If you can’t do that then GTFOMI.

Mark and Ian discuss Walter Hill’s follow up and I have to wonder if the Murphy/Nolte combo could do with another film?  Also, one of the bickers in this movie is the guy that played Wishmaster in the first two films.
