Punch Drunk Podcast

Martin Donovan stars in his writing/directing debut, 'Collaborator', alongside David Morse, Olivia Williams, and Katherine Helmond.

It's a big week at PDC Live!! We'll be talking alternate history with Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, animated Scottish adventure with Brave, and hoping we're with Kiera Knightley at the apocalypse when we talk Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. We'll be talking to the director of Seeking a friend... the beautiful Lorene Scafaria (I'm not just saying that...look at the picture the woman is gorgeous!). All this and all the extras we bring you every week.

Saying we have a full slate this week is probably an understatement. With no less than 5 movies hitting theaters this week it's going to be a toss up for what's going to get our full attention. As far as major movies go Tom Cruise channels his inner Bret Micheals in the 80's rock musical 'Rock of Ages'. Adam Sandler puts on a mullett wig and his favorite accent in 'That's My Boy', not to mention the indie festival fav's 'Saftey Not Guaranteed' and 'My Sister's Sister'. I'm hesitant to say well get to everything else, but you know us...we'll find a way. Tune in and give us a call Sunday night at 7!

This week on PDC Live the guys cover polar opposite films in Ridley Scott's Xenomorphic Prometheus and animated animal sillyness with Madagascar 3: Europes's Most Wanted.
In honor of Prometheus, a quasi-prequel to Alien, Travis and I will be running down what we think are the Top 5 Sci-Fi/Horror films of all time.
As always we'll be bringing you everything interesting from the news desk of the movie world, the latest DVD's and a roundup of the weekends box office.

This week the PDC talks three seperate movies that when combined make a totally confusing yet intriguing episode title! Snow White shakes off the helpless damself stigma by donning a sword and dropping the dwarves for Huntsman in "Snow White and the Huntsman", the 3D sequel that no one saw coming... 'Piranha 3DD', and we may even get time to talk war with 'For Greater Glory'. Guess what? We're even throwing in all the news, DVD's and box office you can handle!

On this week's show, we'll journey back in time to save the world with Agents J and K in 'Men in Black 3'! Ten years since Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones last teamed up, does anybody care about Men in Black anymore? Or are we looking at another old, formerly popular franchise that has lost its relevance?
Plus, we'll scare up a review for 'Chernobyl Diaries', the latest intense, psycho-horror from 'Paranormal Activity' creator, Oren Peli! Does he have another hit on his hands, or is Peli a victim of his own success?
All this and the box office, DVD releases, and the big news from out of Hollywood. Join us for another great show!

"Jachnun!" We command you to join us for our review of Sacha Baron Cohen's hilarious new political comedy, 'The Dicator'!  Is Cohen's first fully scripted film good enough to make us forget 'Bruno'? Can it possibly live up to 'Borat', and should we even be comparing the two?
Plus, Hasbro's classic naval warfare board game from all of our childhoods is back in Peter Berg's 'Battleship'! Does Universal have a summer hit on their hands? Or will the audiences leave feeling sunk?
All this, plus a brief review of 'What to Expect When You're Expecting', and the box office breakdown, news, and upcoming DVD releases. Join us for another fun show!

Review of Bob Goldthwait's angry new comedy, 'God Bless America', starring Joel Murray and Tara Lynne Barr!

Join us won't you? Travis and John will be chatting about this weeks biggest release 'Dark Shadows' Which makes the 432nd time Tim Burton and Johnny Depp have collaborated to bring the term Holly WEIRD to life! Not only will we be talking movies, box offices, news, and minutaie, but we're going to make sure and take the time for all the mother's out there as you enjoy your special day.

A brief review of the French erotic drama, 'Elles', starring Juliette Binoche.
