Podcast: The Punch Up, Ep.24 – ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It?’
This week on The Punch Up podcast, the chaps get all mushy with talk of romance, love and all that good stuff in our post-Valentine’s Day ‘Sucker Punched’ special.
But it wouldn’t be The Punch Up without that dark side of love that everyone is no doubt painfully familiar with, so of course our choice of films to analyse reflects as much…
Harold & Maude (1971)
Lost In Translation (2003)
Blue Valentine (2010)

The Punch Up is a brand new weekly film & television podcast broadcasting from the laaaazy west coast city of Vancouver, Canada.

The latest episode of The Punch Up features an unhealthy dose of Comic-Con fallout, discussion on recent releases, including Me, Earl, & the Dying Girl and Minions, and a look back at the Coen bros. classic, Fargo, before the chaps chew over the insane success of Jurassic World and finish, as per usual, with another round of spoiler-filled True Detective chat. Enjoy!

Review: Fury Road
George Miller’s ‘Mad’ Max Rockatansky returns in a tanked up, high-octane beast of a picture, that is not only goddamn marvellous in its own right, but also part catalyst for a dramatic cinematic swing in the right direction…
