This week, Chain Link Theater trades the operatic mayhem of John Woo for the grit, grime, and cold-blooded vengeance of 2004. We’re heading down to Tampa to revisit a time when comic book movies weren't afraid to get their hands dirty, focusing on Thomas Jane’s definitive, stoic turn as Frank Castle in The Punisher.

From the brutal, close-quarters kitchen brawl with The Russian to the methodical, slow-burn psychological warfare against Howard Saint, we're talking about all of it. It’s a world of rigged muscle cars, trick arrows, and the most painful popsicles in cinematic history.

Reload, sharpen your combat knife, and dive into 2004’s The Punisher with us!

And if you like listening to us talk about high-stakes cinema, you're going to LOVE our new ⁠Patreon VIP Lounge⁠ where we're discussing EVERY Marvel movie counting down to Avengers: Doomsday!
