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.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.

Ep. 9 – ‘Haunted Pipes’ 

This week on The Punch Up the chaps talk at length re: Scott Cooper and Johnny Depp’s violent but stylish “Whitey” Bulger gangster flick, Black Mass.* A brief collection of general reviews leads with the latest documentary on The Who, Lambert & Stamp, before revisiting Seinfeld, i, Robot, and I Am Legend, and the boys look forward to Adam McKay’s new flick, The Big Short, starring Brad Pitt, Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, and Steve Carell.

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. 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.
