Ep.18 – ‘Andrey & The Peck’
It’s time for another Sucker Punched special on The Punch Up podcast, as this week the chaps tackle their latest theme: black & white movie classics.
And classic our three picks certainly are. Charlie Chaplin’s silent masterpiece, Modern Times (1936), leads the way, with Audrey Hepburn’s debut opposite Gregory Peck in Roman Holiday (1953) close behind. And last, but not least, a truly unique production in the form of the 1957 classic, 12 Angry Men, starring Henry Fonda.

It’s a very animated discussion this week on The Punch Up, as the chaps are joined by our very first special guest, Vancouver-based animator Haley McNamara! Providing her own unique insight, Haley takes us into the world of professional animation, revealing a few surprises along the way…
On the review front we take a look at Pixar’s latest releases, The Good Dinosaur, Sanjay’s Super Team, and Inside Out, as well as the astounding French picture, The Little Prince.
We also look forward to future animated features coming out next year, including Disney’s Zootopia, Pixar’s Finding Dory, and the it-could-be-great-could-be-meh, The Life of Pets.
