As always make sure you've watched the episode before listening to the podcast. Punisher Episode Eleven Review Podcast Spoiler filled Synopsis Written by: Felicia D. Henderson Directed by: Kevin Hooks Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) bruised and battered calls time with Micro (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) believing that his solo run to inform Dinah Madani (Amber Rose Revah) of the events and people at Kandahar has betrayed their partnership. Elsewhere William Rawlins (Paul Schulze) attempts to gain sympathy from CIA Deputy Director Marion James (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) in an attempt to use CIA resources to track Frank Castle. As Rawlins uses all his resources to hand, danger knocks on Sarah Lieberman’s door as both Sarah (Jaime Ray Newman) and Zach (Kobi Frumer) are kidnapped by Russo's men.

After her grilling at Homeland Security by Madani and her boss, Deputy Director Marion James calls time on Rawlins' duplicitous nature asking that he fix his problem by sacrificing Billy Russo (Ben Barnes) and resigning his position to protect the Agency.

There are many different perspectives on a huge event this week and we discuss them all in our Punisher Episode Nine Review of "Front Toward Enemy" we discuss our top five points about this episode in our Spoiler filled discussion. As always make sure you've watched the episode before listening to the podcast. Punisher Episode Nine Review Podcast Spoiler filled Synopsis Written by: Angela LaManna  Directed by: Marc Jobst As Dinah Madani (Amber Rose Revah) continues to blame herself for Stein's death, Lewis executes a series of bombings throughout New York City witnessed by Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) and Micro (Ebon Moss-Bachrach). As the terrorist alert rises in New York, Lewis Wilson (Daniel Webber) sends Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) a letter, believing she will side with his cause as she had with Castle. When she doesn't, he contacts Page as she participates in an on-air debate between her and pro-gun control Senator Stan Ori (Rick Holmes) and threatens her life and the lives of those at the New York Bulletin. He hangs up after he issues his warning "sic semper tyrannis" that is recognised by both Castle and Curtis Hoyle (Jason R. Moore) reciting his unit’s Latin phrase “Thus always to tyrants”.  Curtis immediately goes looking for Lewis, ending up at O'Connor's house where he finds Lewis’ bomb-making supplies and O'Connor's decaying corpse only for Lewis to overpower him and tie him to a chair with a Claymore mine strapped to his chest with “Front Towards Enemy". As Castle waits outside Lewis’ home Micro tracks his cell phone signal to O’Connor’s address where Frank finds Curtis and save his life after convincing Lewis to disarm the bomb. Castle proceeds to escape from the police after Lewis calls in the police to aid his escape and keep Frank at arms length. Meanwhile, in a bar Madani summons Dutch courage in anticipation for Stein’s funeral where she hopes to make a grand gesture in his memory. As she gets up to go Lieberman introduces himself to her at the bar and not only reveals Rawlins' name to her but also his work with Castle, just as a police car dash-cam footage on the news captures Frank’s image escaping the scene of a bomb factory and raising his public profile and continued existence.

Henderson Directed by: Antonio Campos Billy Russo (Ben Barnes) opens up to Dinah Madani (Amber Rose Revah) about his past and Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal)and Micro (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) come to terms with Frank’s past as they learn about William Rawlins (Paul Schulze) identity.  From the computer monitors Lieberman starts to see the strains and stresses on his family, as the monitors turn off he sends Frank over to his home where Sarah Lieberman (Jaime Ray Newman) shares her concerns about her son, Zach (Kobi Frumer), along with a bottle of rose and an awkward kiss with Frank. Micro hits the whisky but him and Frank work things out about that kiss. In the whisky haze, however, Micro has a moment of clarity realising that him and Frank should be working with Madani and not against her, but Frank is not convinced simply wanting Rawlins dead. As Castle heads back to Micro’s home to confront Zach about the knife he has in his possession he learns that he has grown afraid since his father's "death". After convincing Lieberman that seeing his son would be too dangerous, the two agree that the next course of action is to work with Madani. Meanwhile, Rawlins and Russo decide to go after Castle, unaware that Madani, Sam Stein (Michael Nathanson) and their DHS team are going after them as part of a decoy operation. A shootout unfolds, in which several SWAT officers and several of Russo's men are killed. As Russo makes his escape from the trap, Stein flanks and corners Russo outside. As Russo is about to be cuffed Russo pulls his concealed assassin knife on Stein. As he bleeds out Madani rushes to save him but as he tries to tell her about Russo the words fail as his breath slips slowly from him. As Madani sits in shock in her bathtub she consoled and helped to wash the blood off her body by Russo. Thanks so much for listening to our Punisher Episode Eight Review Podcast.
