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.
