Ep.4 – ‘A Straight-to-Internet Release’

This week on The Punch Up, the chaps bite off more than they can chew as they tear apart the rotten carcass of The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride during Sucker Punched. Things get a bit misty eyed as the emotional, not-talked-about-as-much-as-it-should-be De Niro/Williams true story, Awakenings, also features, as does Roman Polanski’s influential 1968 horror classic, Rosemary’s Baby. General reviews include Alex Garland’s marvelous sci-fi/thirller, Ex Machina, Hayao Miyazaki’s 2013 anime war tale, The Wind Rises, and John Woo’s hit-and-miss Mission Impossible 2, before one of us drunkenly fell asleep during True Detective, cutting things a tad short(er)…

Ep.3 – ‘Short Changed’

This week on The Punch Up, the chaps look forward to Marlon Brando on Marlon Brando, before officially making the case for the industry to make a goddam bigger deal of short films. The fall from grace of the mainstream parody genre is traced, from Leslie Neilson to Scary Movie, as is the steady evolution of adult animation series with the recent release of BoJack Horseman. Tig, Aliens, Grease, and While We’re Young also feature, as does a 20th anniversary chat on Larry Clark’s highly controversial flick, Kids. To finish, as always, it’s True Detective spoiler time (s02e06) – a show well and truly stuck in second gear.

Ep.2 – ‘Blow Me’

This week the chaps look forward to Iñárritu’s epic western, The Revenant, in new segment ‘The Trailer Park’. There’s discussion on what everyone’s been viewing recently, including sci-fi thriller Ex Machina, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt’s sort-of-forgotten hit, Interview With a Vampire, and the not-as-good-as-you-remember biopic, Blow. ‘Sucker Punched’ makes it return with Jean-Claude Van Damme’s The Quest, Disney’s Mighty Joe Young, and the arcade game doc King of Kong under the microscope, before the boys wrap things up with their usual spoiler filled venture into trying to solve just what the hell’s going on in True Detective (so2e05).

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!

In The Punch Up’s debut/trial episode, ‘Sucker Punched’, the boys discuss what they’ve watched recently; Nick jumps through a chopper to tackle Terminator Genisys in new segment, ‘Taking One for the Team’; monkeys and messy anime are the order of the day in what’s being labelled as, ‘The Sucker Punch’; and to round the things off for the finale there’s the first of our spoiler filled chats on what’s been happening on True Detective S02, covering the first three episodes so far.
