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.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!
