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.

Review: Steve Jobs

by

Danny Boyle’s intriguing biopic wisely mimics its subject in avoiding industry convention.

Underrated#1: Val Kilmer in Tombstone

by

Val Kilmer’s turn in a random early 90s western was fucking fantastic, yet it received no Academy recognition and enjoys an unjustly low level of the modern day hype usually lavished unreservedly upon such a cult performance.

Tombstone
Dir: George P. Cosmatos
Original Release Date: 24 December 1993

Ep.10 – ‘The Martian’ 

No fancy title for The Punch Up podcast this week, as the chaps take a full episode to review The Martian, starring Matt Damon; a more than welcome return to form for director Ridley Scott, and probably his best film for fifteen years.

Review: Sicario

by

Master of misdirection Denis Villeneuve’s drug war commentary is an intense, edge of your seat assault on the senses.
