Episode 746 - The Report (2019)
September 01, 2020 23:53 - 14 minutes - 12.9 MBHi everyone! It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? I’m back today with this special episode, covering a film that I saw just before the stay-at-home orders were issued in California for the current pandemic. It’s going to be an extended episode, with an update on things here at One Movie Punch, my review of THE REPORT entangled with an essay on how the pandemic has affected the film industry in the short term and the long term, and for those that stick around afterwards, a fun audio drama to tide...
Episode 745 - Leto (2018)
March 14, 2020 14:00 - 9 minutes - 8.62 MBHi everyone! We’re closing out the week with our final entry for this quarter in our series “Under the Kanopy”. Kanopy is a library and university funded streaming service that grants card holders six free streams a month, featuring a combination of classic, mainstream, independent, and international films. They currently have streaming deals with some of our favorite distributors, like A24 and Kino Lorber, which offer the critically acclaimed, if not commercially successful films. Today...
Episode 744 - Swallow (2019)
March 13, 2020 14:00 - 9 minutes - 8.46 MBHi everyone! It’s Friday, so it’s time for another Fantastic Fest feature from Andrew Campbell. Today’s feature had a very limited run in the theaters from podcast favorite IFC Films, picked up from the flurry of content that debuts at Fantastic Fest every year. Andrew will be up with his review of SWALLOW in just a bit, but for a few other reviews from Andrew, check out AFTER MIDNIGHT (Episode #737), JALLIKATTU (Episode #730), and BLISS (Episode #723). Before the review, we’ll have a pr...
Episode 743 - Tokyo Godfathers (2003)
March 12, 2020 14:00 - 8 minutes - 7.53 MBHi everyone! Happy Thursday! We’re welcoming back Christina Eldridge to the podcast with a review of the latest offering from GKIDS, a remastered cut of 2003’s critically acclaimed TOKYO GODFATHERS. We’re lucky to have Christina’s long-term love of anime on board here. For a few other recent reviews, check out RIDE YOUR WAVE (Episode #722), KLAUS (Episode #708), and her debut review for WEATHERING WITH YOU (Episode #687). Before the review, we’ll have a promo from our friends at the Pop ...
Episode 742 - The Great Hack (2019)
March 11, 2020 14:00 - 8 minutes - 7.52 MBHi everyone! For those of you outside the United States, or perhaps living under a rock within the United States, we’re currently going through a presidential primary campaign. It’s been a bumpy ride so far, with a lot of noise and very little substance. But it has also been driven, at least in part, by the lesson of the previous election cycle, which involved the use of Big Data to collect information on US voters. Up to 5,000 data points per voter. You all know how biased I am when it co...
Episode 741 - Motherless Brooklyn (2019)
March 10, 2020 14:00 - 10 minutes - 9.39 MBHi everyone! One of our goals before we close out the quarter is to review every film nominated for either a Golden Globe or an Oscar this year. Sometimes this can be tough, especially for international films that get very limited showings in the United States and even fewer streaming opportunities. Sometimes it can be tough when an underseen film gets the nomination, like today’s review for MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN. We’re lucky to have Jon-David back to help us out with today’s review. For a f...
Episode 740 - Onward (2020)
March 09, 2020 14:00 - 10 minutes - 9.55 MBHi everyone! Welcome back for another Matinee Monday. Some weekends it’s easier to pick a film than other weekends. And generally, whenever Pixar releases a new film, we’re first in line to check it out. Stay tuned for my review of ONWARD in a minute, but for a couple other Pixar films we’ve reviewed, check out INCREDIBLES 2 (Episode #169) and TOY STORY 4 (Episode #531). Before the review, we’ll have a brand-new promo from our good friends at The VHS Strikes Back podcast. Every week, Dav...
Episode 739 - The Art of Self-Defense (2019)
March 08, 2020 15:00 - 11 minutes - 10.7 MBHi everyone! Welcome back for our last two weeks of One Movie Punch for first quarter. We’re wrapping up the quarter with a bunch of great films from your favorite critics. Today, I’ll be reviewing THE ART OF SELF-DEFENSE and talking about toxic dojos. And tomorrow, I’ll be reviewing ONWARD, the latest Pixar offering. On Tuesday, Jon-David returns with 2020 Golden Globe nominee MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN. On Wednesday, Shane Hyde returns with his review of THE GREAT HACK, a real-life horror story...
Episode 738 - The Battle Of Algiers (1966)
March 07, 2020 15:00 - 10 minutes - 9.62 MBHi everyone! We’re closing out the week with another entry in our series, Under the Kanopy. Kanopy is a library and university funded streaming service that grants card holders six free streams a month, featuring a combination of classic, mainstream, independent, and international films. They currently have streaming deals with some of our favorite distributors, like A24 and Kino Lorber, which offer the critically acclaimed, if not commercially successful films. Today’s film was one reco...
Episode 737 - After Midnight (2019)
March 06, 2020 15:00 - 8 minutes - 7.73 MBHi everyone! It’s Friday, so we’re back with another Fantastic Fest review from Andrew Campbell. After trying to guess the plot for the last few movies, I have decided to stop doing that. I think this film was entitled AFTER MIDNIGHT, but it was actually SOMETHING ELSE. That was the original title, actually. SOMETHING ELSE. Andrew’s gonna let it all hang out in a minute, but for a few other recent reviews from Andrew, check out JALLIKATTU (Episode #730), THE CALL OF THE WILD (Episode #726)...
Episode 736 - Portrait Of A Lady On Fire (2019)
March 05, 2020 15:00 - 9 minutes - 8.91 MBHi everyone! Today we’re welcoming back Keith Lyons for another review. We’re batting cleanup this month with a few Oscar and Golden Globe nominations. PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE was recently re-released in US theaters, and we’re lucky to have Keith on the case. Of course, we’ll just have to forget about that whole finding Keith an English-language film thing from last time. For a few other recent reviews from Keith, check out HONEYLAND (Episode #715), LES MISERABLES (Episode #680), and AT...
Episode 735 - Alive (2020)
March 04, 2020 15:00 - 8 minutes - 7.37 MBHi everyone! Welcome back for another Indie Wednesday. Every Wednesday we like to feature a microbudget or independent production, and sometimes we’re lucky enough to chat with the filmmakers themselves. Today, I’ll be reviewing ALIVE, the latest short by Swedish filmmaker Jimmy Olsson, which takes a fun look at sex and ableism. We’ll hear a few snippets from our interview with Jimmy during this review, but for a few other similar episodes, check out our reviews for TURBINES (Episode #721)...
Episode 734 - Long Shot (2019)
March 03, 2020 15:00 - 9 minutes - 8.3 MBHi everyone! It’s Tuesday, and today we’re welcoming back One Movie Spouse to the podcast, with a review of a film she’s been wanting to see for a very long time. In many ways, the film reminds me of how she and I first met, and how unlikely we seemed to so many people. Of course, I wasn’t able to watch it with her, so I’ll just have to assume that everything works out fine. For a few other recent reviews from One Movie Spouse, check out MISS AMERICANA (Episode #725), BOMBSHELL (Episode #7...
Episode 733 - The Invisible Man (2020)
March 02, 2020 15:00 - 9 minutes - 8.73 MBHi everyone! Welcome back for another Matinee Monday. You know, trailers usually go one of two directions for me. I generally try to avoid them to enjoy that pure initial viewing experience. Some trailers I get really sick of, really quick. But the trailer for THE INVISIBLE MAN has been nothing short of exciting, especially after being blown away by 2018’s UPGRADE (Episode #155). If you’re turned off because of the SAW and INSIDIOUS franchises, I assure you that today’s film is not that. I...
Episode 732 - The Assistant (2019)
March 01, 2020 15:00 - 11 minutes - 10.3 MBHi everyone! Welcome to March! Things have been super busy around here at One Movie Punch as we begin to wrap up first quarter. This week we’re coming in with a slate of five Certified Fresh films, including tomorrow’s review for THE INVISIBLE MAN, Tuesday’s review of LONG SHOT from One Movie Spouse, Thursday’s review of PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE from Keith Lyons, Saturday’s review of THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS from your truly, along with today’s review of THE ASSISTANT. Andrew will be back on...
Episode 731 - Marianne and Leonard: Words of Love (2019)
February 29, 2020 15:00 - 10 minutes - 9.4 MBHi everyone! We’re closing out the week with another entry in our series, Under the Kanopy. Kanopy is a library and university funded streaming service that grants card holders six free streams a month, featuring a combination of classic, mainstream, independent, and international films. They currently have streaming deals with some of our favorite distributors, like A24 and Kino Lorber, which offer the critically acclaimed, if not commercially successful films. Today’s film covers one o...
Episode 730 - Jallikattu (2019)
February 28, 2020 15:00 - 9 minutes - 8.82 MBHi everyone! It’s Friday, so it’s time for another Fantastic Fest feature from Andrew Campbell. This week will feature absolutely no BS. No wait, I’m sorry, this film will be full of BS, and I mean actual bullshit. Not a bunch of lies and stories for which the term bullshit is used, but actual bullshit, along with actual bulls, who have an actual prize tied to their horns called... JALLIKATTU! Don’t miss Andrew’s other recent reviews for THE CALL OF THE WILD (Episode #726), BLISS (Episode ...
Episode 729 - Pain and Glory (2019)
February 27, 2020 15:00 - 8 minutes - 8.14 MBHi everyone! We’re back with another review from Jon-David, aka the Mafia Hairdresser, who is absolutely determined to pick up all our missing award nominees and winners from last year, including today’s underhyped film, PAIN AND GLORY, featuring a commanding performance from Antonio Banderas. We’re excited to get Jon-David’s take on the film. Don’t miss his recent reviews for MALEFICENT: MISTRESS OF EVIL (Episode #713), THE CAVE (Episode #706), and RICHARD JEWELL (Episode #692). His promo...
Episode 728 - The House Of The Devil (2009)
February 26, 2020 15:00 - 8 minutes - 7.91 MBHi everyone! All right, we’re hitting the pause button on Indie Wednesdays for another contractually-obligated review from Shane Hyde, due to the peace accords signed after last year’s Reign of Terror 2019. Shane and I had a minor month-long disagreement you can check out beginning with One Movie Spouse’s review for CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME? (Episode #594), and heading through the entire month of October. Today we’ll have another installment of his beat we like to call Horror Stories, and t...
Episode 727 - The Photograph (2020)
February 25, 2020 15:00 - 8 minutes - 7.98 MBHi everyone! Welcome back for another Takeover Tuesday, and this one is going to be a real treat. I’m not going to lie. Kolby’s been straight teasing me about being on this podcast for about 18 months. Yeah, sure, he’s got his own podcast entitled Kolby Told Me, which you’ll hear about before the review. Yeah, sure, he’s co-host for the Minorites Report Podcast, that drops weekly doses of perspective on popular culture. But, it wasn’t until I sent him the Puss In Boots meme with the saucer...
Episode 726 - The Call of the Wild (2020)
February 24, 2020 15:00 - 9 minutes - 8.6 MBHi everyone! Andrew’s taking the helm for today’s Matinee Monday, with a review from the debut offering from the recently renamed 20th Century Studios. Like that Fox brand might be toxic or something. Anyway, Andrew will be up in a minute with his review of THE CALL OF THE WILD. Don’t miss Andrew’s other recent reviews for BLISS (Episode #723), SCHOOL’S OUT (Episode #716), and COME TO DADDY (Episode #709). None of those are family films, by the way. Not even COME TO DADDY. Before the rev...
Episode 725 - Miss Americana (2020)
February 23, 2020 15:00 - 12 minutes - 11.1 MBHi everyone! Welcome back for another week of reviews! This week, we’ll be closing out February with a fun mix of reviews. Tomorrow, Andrew Campbell will takeover Matinee Monday with his review of the recently renamed 20th Century Studios distribution, THE CALL OF THE WILD. On Tuesday, we’ll finally get the elusive Kolby Told Me on the podcast, with his take on THE PHOTOGRAPH as part of Takeover Tuesday. On Wednesday, Shane Hyde returns with his review of 2009’s THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, rec...
Episode 724 - Have A Nice Day (2017)
February 22, 2020 15:00 - 8 minutes - 7.96 MBHi everyone! We’re closing out the week with another entry in our series, Under the Kanopy. Kanopy is a library and university funded streaming service that grants card holders six free streams a month, featuring a combination of classic, mainstream, independent, and international films. They currently have streaming deals with some of our favorite distributors, like A24 and Kino Lorber, which offer the critically acclaimed, if not commercially successful films. Today’s film is a Chinese...
Episode 723 - Bliss (2019)
February 21, 2020 15:00 - 9 minutes - 8.82 MBHi everyone! It’s Friday, so it’s time for another Fantastic Fest feature from Andrew Campbell. This week we’re getting a Shudder exclusive, so if you’ve ever been thinking about taking the plunge into this genre-driven service, now is the time! It’s the only place you’ll find independent darlings like PREVENGE, REVENGE, MANDY, and podcast favorite, ONE CUT OF THE DEAD (Episode #625). Don’t miss Andrew’s other recent reviews for SCHOOL’S OUT (Episode #716), COME TO DADDY (Episode #709), an...
Episode 722 - Ride Your Wave (2019)
February 20, 2020 15:00 - 8 minutes - 7.64 MBHi everyone! Today, we’re welcoming back Christina Eldridge, aka Durara Reviews, with her take on another domestic GKIDS distribution, their first of 2020, entitled RIDE YOUR WAVE. As always, Christina will give you her thoughts on the film, but be sure to check out her recent reviews for KLAUS (Episode #708) and her first review at One Movie Punch for another GKIDS distribution, WEATHERING WITH YOU (Episode #687). Both films are well worth checking out. Before the review, we’ll have a p...
Episode 721 - Turbines (2019)
February 19, 2020 15:00 - 10 minutes - 10.1 MBHi everyone! Welcome back for another Indie Wednesday review. Before we get started with today’s review, I want to shout out Yolandi Franken for passing along today’s film for consideration. She was also instrumental in passing along last year’s TABERNACLE 101 (Episode #619) and helping to line up an interview with writer/director and microbudget instructor Colm O’Murchu. She’s quickly becoming my gateway into low-budget Australian cinema, especially after connecting me with writer/directo...
Episode 720 - Birds Of Prey (2020)
February 18, 2020 15:00 - 8 minutes - 7.93 MBHi everyone! Welcome back for another Takeover Tuesday. You know, when I saw today’s movie was coming up, I knew I had to call in the big guns for this review. And when they weren’t available, I called up Dave and Chris at the Comics in Motion Podcast, because they are gluttons for punishment, but also have a lot of insightful things to say about comics books on the big and small screens. Today’s review will be covering the DCEU’s latest installment, HARLEY QUINN: BIRDS OF PREY, but don’t ...
Episode 719 - Blumhouse's Fantasy Island (2020)
February 17, 2020 15:00 - 8 minutes - 7.57 MBHi everyone! You know, when I first met Ryan, when he arrived at the One Movie Punch Secret Island Base, he told me one of his biggest fantasies was to review a film on One Movie Punch for Matinee Monday. So, without him knowing, I actually sold the island to Blumhouse Productions last year, with the stipulation that he would be allowed to review the movie. They looked at me like I was an idiot, but I think we’ll all see in a moment who got the better end of the deal. Especially when they ...
Episode 718 - The Dark Knight (2008)
February 16, 2020 15:00 - 15 minutes - 14.7 MBHi everyone! Welcome back for another week of reviews! This week, we have so much in store for everyone! I’ll get to today’s exciting Sponsor Sunday review in a bit, but that’s just one of seven amazing reviews for you this week. Tomorrow, Ryan L. Terry returns for Matinee Monday with a review for the comedy horror reboot, BLUMHOUSE’S FANTASY ISLAND. Tuesday, the Comics in Motion Podcast return to cover the DCEU’s latest entry, BIRDS OF PREY. On Wednesday, I’ll be reviewing the low-budge...
Episode 717 - To Dust (2018)
February 15, 2020 15:00 - 10 minutes - 9.49 MBHi everyone! We’re closing out the week with another entry in our series, Under the Kanopy. Kanopy is a library and university funded streaming service that grants card holders six free streams a month, featuring a combination of classic, mainstream, independent, and international films. They currently have streaming deals with some of our favorite distributors, like A24 and Kino Lorber, which offer the critically acclaimed, if not commercially successful films. Today’s film deals with gri...
Episode 716 - School's Out (2018)
February 14, 2020 15:00 - 8 minutes - 7.48 MBHi everyone! It’s Friday, so it’s time for another Fantastic Fest feature from Andrew Campbell. After completely missing the mark on the subject matter for last week’s COME TO DADDY (Episode #709), Andrew gave me some bullet points for the film, which he’s assured me is not a documentary about the famous end of school year anthem. So, on this Valentine’s Day, this romantic comedy concerns a group of honors students... who gather together as their teacher... oh. Oh my. Definitely letting An...
Episode 715 - Honeyland (2019)
February 13, 2020 15:00 - 9 minutes - 8.48 MBHi everyone! We’re continuing our Oscar cleanup week with a review from Keith Lyons, aka Philly Film Fan, covering HONEYLAND, a nominee for Best Documentary Feature, all the way from Macedonia. He’ll be up in a minute with his thoughts, but don’t miss his recent reviews for LES MISERABLES (Episode #680), ATLANTICS (Episode #669), and I LOST MY BODY (Episode #646). I should probably get him an English-language film to watch here at some point. Before the review, we’ll have a promo from th...
Episode 714 - The Dark Sleep (2012)
February 12, 2020 15:00 - 9 minutes - 8.58 MBHi everyone! Welcome back for another Indie Wednesday. I thought that I would receive a flood of requests for film reviews from low-budget and independent distributors after starting this segment. Granted, we’re only a few weeks into the year, but I know whenever the requests stop flooding in that Amazon Prime has my back for finding low budget films out there, as part of their Prime Video Direct agreement. You can peruse literally thousands of films, all looking for their audience. And wi...
Episode 713 - Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil (2019)
February 11, 2020 15:00 - 10 minutes - 10.1 MBHi everyone! Welcome back for the second review this month from Jon-David, aka the Mafia Hairdresser, who is picking up today’s review for Oscar nominee MALEFICENT: MISTRESS OF EVIL as part of our cleanup week. Check social media to see if they took home the gold, as this episode was pre-produced before the ceremony. And regardless of whether it wins, Jon-David will be up in a minute with thoughts, along with a promo for his serial podcast The Mafia Hairdresser Chronicles. Don’t miss his p...
Episode 712 - Breakthrough (2019)
February 10, 2020 15:00 - 8 minutes - 8.22 MBHi everyone! It’s another catchup week here at One Movie Punch, especially in the wake of the 92nd Academy Awards yesterday evening. Most of our episodes went into pre-production before the ceremony, so I can’t tell you right now whether today’s film, BREAKTHROUGH, won the award for Best Original Song, after being nominated seemingly out of nowhere. So, in lieu of Matinee Monday, and with BIRDS OF PREY being covered by the lovely folks at the Comics in Motion Podcast during next week’s Tak...
Episode 711 - The Edge Of Democracy (2019)
February 09, 2020 15:00 - 12 minutes - 11.9 MBHi everyone! Welcome back for another week of reviews! Tonight’s the big night! The 92nd Academy Awards will be held today at 5:00pm PST, and we’ll see just how the Academy distributes their praise. We’re also catching up on a number of Oscar nominees this week, including today’s review for one of the more insightful documentaries from last year, and an Oscar nominee for Best Documentary Feature. I’ll be up in a minute with my thoughts on 2019’s THE EDGE OF DEMOCRACY. Be sure to stay t...
Episode 710 - Transformer (2017)
February 08, 2020 15:00 - 10 minutes - 9.49 MBHi everyone! We’re closing out the week with another entry in our series, Under the Kanopy. Kanopy is a library and university funded streaming service that grants card holders six free streams a month, featuring a combination of classic, mainstream, independent, and international films. They currently have streaming deals with some of our favorite distributors, like A24 and Kino Lorber, which offer the critically acclaimed, if not commercially successful films. Today’s film was initially ...
Episode 709 - Come To Daddy (2019)
February 07, 2020 15:00 - 9 minutes - 8.89 MBHi everyone! It’s Friday, and Andrew’s bringing the Fantastic Fest fire with today’s film, a behind-the-scenes documentary into the origins of Aphex Twin’s 1997 album, “Come to Daddy”. We’ll get everything from the influences behind the composition, along with the cult music video, which... What’s that? This is a comedy horror film starring Elijah Wood? But influenced by the album, right? No? Right, well, I don’t know what today’s film is about, but Andrew does, and he’ll be up in a minute...
Episode 708 - Klaus (2019)
February 06, 2020 15:00 - 9 minutes - 8.57 MBHi everyone! Christina’s back today with a look at one of the more unlikely nominees for Best Animated Feature, 2019’s KLAUS. It’s always nice when a film gets recognition that’s not from one of the ginormous animation houses. But I ask you, is a tagline like “Welcome to the Jingle” really what you think of when you think of an Oscar film? While that might have deterred me, it did not deter Christina, who will be up in a moment with her review. Don’t miss her debut review at One Movie Punc...
Episode 707 - Closure (2019)
February 05, 2020 15:05 - 10 minutes - 9.92 MBHi everyone! Welcome back for another Indie Wednesday spotlight. One Movie Punch continues to extend our network with today’s segment, allowing both myself and our audience a taste of the microbudget and independent features being produced. Sometimes we find hidden gems. Sometimes we find films that have problems. Today’s film is a daytime noir that definitely sits in the former category, especially if you live in, or like to make fun of, Los Angeles and its quirkier denizens. Even bette...
Episode 706 - The Cave (2019)
February 04, 2020 15:00 - 11 minutes - 10.4 MBHi everyone! We’re in the final stretch for the Oscar season! Instead of the usual Takeover Tuesday episodes for the next two weeks, we’re going to take the slot each week for two important things. First, we’re going to catchup on the Oscar nominees (and potential winners). We’re down to just four more we haven’t reviewed yet, which is a much better place than last year. More importantly, however, is the second thing we’re doing, which is introducing Jon-David, aka the Mafia Hairdresser, a...
Episode 705 - The Rhythm Section (2020)
February 03, 2020 15:00 - 10 minutes - 9.37 MBHi everyone! Welcome back for another Matinee Monday. This week, I had the pleasure of taking in Blake Lively’s latest film, THE RHYTHM SECTION, especially after seeing her performance alongside Anna Kendrick in 2018’s stylish daytime noir, A SIMPLE FAVOR (Episode #274). I’m sure raising children, including adult man-child Ryan Reynolds, takes a great deal of time. Does THE RHYTHM SECTION continue to expand the range of a post-Gossip Girl Blake Lively? You’ll find out in a moment. Before...
Episode 704 - Dune (1984)
February 02, 2020 15:00 - 16 minutes - 15 MBHi everyone! Welcome back for another week of reviews here at One Movie Punch! This week, we have a mixture of film reviews for your enjoyment. On Monday, I’ll be reviewing THE RHYTHM SECTION (2020), starring the incredible Blake Lively in a potential franchise launch. On Tuesday, we’ll be picking up the first of two reviews from Jon-David, aka Mafia Hairdresser, who will be joining the podcast as a regular contributor going forward. He’ll be reviewing THE CAVE (2019) this week, an excelle...
Episode 703 - For Sama (2019)
February 01, 2020 15:00 - 11 minutes - 10.7 MBHi everyone! We’re closing out the week with another entry in our ongoing series, Under the Kanopy. Kanopy is a library and university funded streaming service that grants card holders six free streams per month from a variety of classic, mainstream, independent, and international releases. They also have streaming agreements with excellent distributors, like A24 and Kino Lorber, who often produce and distribute the critically acclaimed, if not commercially successful films. Today’s film, ...
Episode 702 - The Lodge (2019)
January 31, 2020 15:00 - 10 minutes - 9.55 MBHi everyone! It’s Friday, so that means another Fantastic Fest feature from Andrew Campbell. The festival, in addition to screening the best and weirdest genre films every year, has also become a film market for those same features. And now thanks to whatever clerical error resulted in Andrew receiving press credentials last year, we’re reaping the rewards as the purchased films begin receiving limited and independent screenings, including today’s pickup from podcast favorite distributor, ...
Episode 701 - Bombshell (2019)
January 30, 2020 15:00 - 8 minutes - 7.75 MBHi everyone! I can think of a number of bad films for date night, but today’s film just might take the prize. One Movie Spouse and I went to see the film on one of our weekly movie dates, and it was a real buzzkill. Not for the excellent performances, incredible costuming, or insightful storytelling, but for the vile, true story behind Fox News. She’s going to be up in a bit with her thoughts, about the movie itself and the story behind it. I’ll just be over here swearing to no one in part...
Episode 700 - Zombie With A Shotgun (2019)
January 29, 2020 15:00 - 8 minutes - 8.03 MBHi everyone! It’s Episode 700! Thank you all so much for your support since 2018! One Movie Punch has always been a labor of love, and today’s episode is no exception. In fact, today’s film might have required a bit more labor and a little less love to get through, and write, but here it is. You might be wondering why I would be covering a movie like today’s film, and at least in this case, it’s because this film co-stars Kyle Hester, who I had the pleasure of interviewing last year for ...
Episode 699 - Cats (2019)
January 28, 2020 15:00 - 7 minutes - 7.14 MBHi everyone! It’s Takeover Tuesday, and we’re welcoming back our good friends at the How I Met Your Friends podcast! Today, they’re tackling the film everyone loves to hate this year, the cinematic trainwreck known as CATS. I’m actually disappointed with the reviews so far, because one of my favorite CDs in my youth was a collection of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s greatest hits, including “Mr. Mistoffelees”. I’m not exactly sure how they could possibly translate this song to the screen, but I thi...
Episode 698 - The Gentlemen (2020)
