Punch Drunk Podcast

Listen to me very carefully, you are about to be taken on an incredible review of Liam Neeson's 'Taken 2'. Bryan Mills is back, kickin' butt and takin' names as the father of one of his old victims comes looking for revenge. Does Neeson power the sequel to the same adrenaline-fueled heights as before? Or has age finally caught up?  Plus, we'll take a look at Tim Burton's stop-motion animated horror/comedy, 'Frankenweenie'!
All this and more, so tune in to the show and join us in the chat room!

I'm starting to feel repetative but I must say it's yet ANOTHER big week on PDC Live!!! as we welcome writer/director Stephen Chbosky to talk about his new movie The Perks of Being a Wallflower. A great little movie that's getting talked about quite a bit thanks to Emma Watson who delivers an amazing performance in her first turn out of Hogwarts. From there we are packed wall to wall with reviews of PDC favorite, Rian Johnson's new flick Looper, the movie I keep getting mixed up with the Kevin James MMA movie but is actually about teacher's Won't Back Down, the lovely Anna Kendrick's new film Pitch Perfect and much, much more.

It's a HUGE week on PDC Live!!! as we welcome Michael Pena, who stars in this weeks big release End of Watch with Jake Gyllenhaal. I don't know how we'll find the time but we also have reviews for all 7 of this weekends major releases, including Dredd 3D, House at the End of the Street, The Master, and of course, End of Watch. Make sure to tune in, it's going to be a great show! .....but at a minimum it should be funny listening to us try and keep to a tight schedule!

On this episode of PDC LIVE!! we are feeling vastly unaccomplished as we welcome 19 year old director Emily Hagins to talk about her new movie My Sucky Teen Romance. Sure 19 doesn't seem TOO young for a first time director that's why Emily decided to direct her first feature at 12!!
After realizing how unambitious OUR teen years were we go to the source of that lack of ambition, VIDEO GAMES!! Or, more specifically video game movies. With the release of Resident Evil: Retribution Travis and I take a look into the future of video game movies....will they continue to be bashed or will they take the place of comic book adapatations?

This week on PDC Live!! we're joined by director Jamie Bradshaw to talk about his new movie Branded.
Synopsis: 
Set in a dystopian future where corporate brands have created a disillusioned population, one man's effort to unlock the truth behind the conspiracy will lead to an epic battle with hidden forces that control the world.
Oh...did you think that was all? No, no, no dear listener, we'll also be bringing you our Top 5 most anticiapated movies of the fall season, a season that's shaping up to be one of the best I've seen in years!

Another celeb studded week on PDC Live as we welcome the beautiful Ari Graynor of the new movie For a Good Time Call... Oh, you thought that was all we had? No, no, no dear listner, we wouldn't cut you short like that! We'll also be talking about the new Tom Hardy prohibition era bootlegging flick Lawless and what will hopefully be a positive entry in the demon genre with Jeffery Dean Morgan's new film The Possesion.
