Description

Merry Christmas, Punisher fans!  For this Yuletide season, we have gifted you with an extra-large episode that deals with our deep opinions about the three official Punisher movies.

Introduction - Jake and I start with what could the worst opening ever before we catch up on our heart-warming Christmas tales.  We then open our gifts we sent each other on the air!

News - There's a bunch of new Punisher fan films new and upcoming, and we want you all to check 'em out!

• First on the list is the fan-animated Do Not Fall in New York City film by Luis Junquera.  I really enjoyed the style and "flow" of this one. The film has blown up on a lot of comic book news sites, and here is his response.
• Indy filmmaker Chris Notarile has created four Punisher fan films, Punisher '79-'82. Here is a Youtube playlist that has all of them, but Punisher '80 was taken down by Youtube.  You can find that film (and the rest) on his superhero page.
• Actor/director Chris Warner has successfully Kickstarted a studio-quality Punisher short!  We'll keep you updated as the film continues production.

Mail Call - Jesse Mack asks us what Punisher story arc we'd like to see adapted to a new Marvel movie. Jacob gives us a trilogy of MAX titles, and while I like the idea,

Dane and Jake Go to the Movies - It took 34 episodes, but we're finally doing it.  We're bum-rushing the three Punisher movies that everyone clamored for but never quite got it right.  And yet, they each have their charms.

Discharge Papers - Jake discusses his finishing of the Loeb's Long Halloween run, and his replay of Final Fantasy 8.  I recommend the book Mastery from Robert Greene, so you can go from chump to champ at whatever you do in life.  I also recommend the game Bastion, which is like Diablo if your character was in a colorful, utterly destroyed society.
