There’s also some Star Wars chat as Phill and Nick ventured to see the new making of doc, Elstree 1976, and we look forward to an array of blockbusters set for release this summer, from Independence Day 2 to Finding Dory.

Podcast: The Punch Up, Ep.24 – ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It?’

by

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)
