Ep.13 – ‘Spooky Sucker Punched Special!’ 

This week on The Punch Up, the chaps chat horror in a slightly late Halloween Sucker Punched special! Leading with David Cronenberg’s classic sci-fi horror, The Fly, legendary accidental comedy, Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, and the independent straight-to-dvd Irish flick, Isolation, there’s plenty of slasher movie memories, horror history, and talk of whether the genre, despite being as popular as ever, is likely to reinvent itself quality-wise any time soon.

Ep. 8 – ‘It’s Such a Beautiful…Life?!’ 

The Punch Up returns after a couple o’ weeks in development hell (Nick went on vacation) with plenty of chat from across the world of the reel. Stevan Riley’s fantastic doc Listen to Me Marlon  takes top billing following a first look at Disney’s new The Jungle Book trailer, while recent flicks discussed include Cameron Crowe’s latest ‘meh’ effort, Aloha, and deep doc, Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine. Small screen chat focuses on Netflix’s addictive, binge worthy Pablo Escobar fest, Narcos, as well as Forte/Lord/Miller’s latest comedy creation, The Last Man on Earth. We rave about The Rock (the film, not the dude, although we’d happily do both) off the back of Nick’s new PerfAction series, Joaquin Phoenix’s under the radar role, The Immigrant, pops up, and finally there’s a welcome return for Don Hertzfeld’s quite brilliant, but oh-so-depressing It’s Such a Beautiful Day.

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.

Ep.6 – ‘chadvalcoro@gmail.com’
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.5 – ‘Bring A Coat!’

This week on The Punch Up, the chaps sing the praises of dreamy Tom Cruise and his latest MI flick, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation.

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)…
