What are you going to do with this podcast, play Ms. Pac-Man?

In 1989 the second Marvel Comics hero got his shot at big screen glory — The Punisher, a murderous vigilante who dispenses the ultimate punishment to criminals. To comic book fans, Dolph Lundgren’s portrayal of the character barely resembled the original material. Gone was the giant skull on the Punisher’s shirt, and instead of a Viet Nam war hero Frank Castle was now a police officer waging a one-man war against the mob. But is the true punishment that inflicted upon viewers of this film? On this week’s Now Playing, Arnie, Stuart, and Jakob continue their Marvel Movie retrospective with this first Punisher film, so listen to find out!
