We’ve also jazzed up our intro with a brand new quiz segment, which this week features Phill and Nick going at it over movie taglines…

Ep.17 – ‘An Animated Discussion’

It’s a very animated discussion this week on The Punch Up, as the chaps are joined by our very first special guest, Vancouver-based animator Haley McNamara! Providing her own unique insight, Haley takes us into the world of professional animation, revealing a few surprises along the way…

On the review front we take a look at Pixar’s latest releases, The Good Dinosaur, Sanjay’s Super Team, and Inside Out, as well as the astounding French picture, The Little Prince.

We also look forward to future animated features coming out next year, including Disney’s Zootopia, Pixar’s Finding Dory, and the it-could-be-great-could-be-meh, The Life of Pets.

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.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.
