The Punisher (1989)
Fellow podcaster Anthony Desiato returns to the show to discuss another Punisher film. This time, we examine the first attempt to bring the Punisher to theaters, the infamous 1989 film starring Dolph Lundgren as Frank Castle. But contrary to its awful reputation (and despite some generic 80s action film clichés), it's not half-bad.

Unbreakable (2000)
M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable was considered a disappointment when it was released, but that's because no one really knew that it was supposed to be a superhero movie.

Samaritan (2022)
