Podcast: The Punch Up, Ep.24 – ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It?’

by

This week on The Punch Up podcast, the chaps get all mushy with talk of romance, love and all that good stuff in our post-Valentine’s Day ‘Sucker Punched’ special.

But it wouldn’t be The Punch Up without that dark side of love that everyone is no doubt painfully familiar with, so of course our choice of films to analyse reflects as much…

Harold & Maude (1971)
Lost In Translation (2003)
Blue Valentine (2010)

Ep.16 – ‘War, THIS Is What It’s Good For’

This week on The Punch Up podcast it’s a Sucker Punched special as the chaps chat war, and how it’s really only good for making movies…

Leading the conversation are three very different flicks straight from the front line; The Big Red One (1980), starring Lee Marvin and Mark Hamill, Enemy at the Gates (2001), starring Jude Law and Rachel Weisz, and a stunning foreign language entry, the German-made, The Lives of Others (2006).

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. 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.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)…

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).
