Ep. 7 – ‘200 Dollars’ 

This week on The Punch Up, the chaps get angsty at Colin Trevorrow’s appointment as director of Star Wars Ep. IX. On the review front, we take a look at Don Hertzfeldt’s depressing animated feature, It’s Such a Beautiful Day, dark anime classic, Grave of the Fireflies, some overrated horror in the form of The Babadook, HBO’s new series, Show Me A Hero, Batman follow up animation, The Dark Knight Returns, and Italian Academy Award winner, La Grande Bellezza. ‘Sucker Punched’ returns also, with in-depth chat re: 3 doozies, Sam Mendes’ Tom Hanks leading gangster flick, Road to Perdition, Martin Scorcese and Robert De Niro’s creepy black comedy classic, The King of Comedy, and one the greatest films you’ve never heard of, 1973’s Paper Moon.

True Detective S2: The Review 

In this standalone special, The Punch Up crew steadily go the way of Ray as they take a detailed, spoiler-filled look back at Season 2 of HBO’s True Detective, starring Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Taylor Kitsch. and Vince Vaughn. A straight up review of the feature length finale intertwines with overall standout moments, low points, character analysis, story arc development, Pizzolatto chat, and a general view of the season as a whole. If you managed to sit through 8 episodes of rambling, mumbling, drunken lowlifes, then you may as well do it one more time!

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).

Enjoy!
