## Resource

Frank Castle returns, wreaking havoc on those who got it comin' in this action-packed, one-shot special on Disney+. Co-written by the man behind the skull himself, Jon Bernthal, One Last Kill finds Frank trapped in a high-rise tenement, dispatching bad guys after a bounty is placed on his head by an enemy with a personal score to settle. On the pod, we discuss how this special fits into the larger Punisher universe first established on Netflix, break down what works—and what doesn't—and spotlight a few of One Last Kill's guest stars, including a memorable appearance by Bernthal's own daughter. We also compare key plot elements in the special to The Raid 2 and debate how this version of the Punisher might fit into the MCU proper ahead of Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
