Punch Drunk Podcast

There might be another movie coming out this week but nobody cares about that right now! Did you know The Avengers was out this week? Huh? Huh? You've heard us practically pee on ourselves in anticipation, and now that we've seen it, things can only get geekier. We'll don our Avengers Underoos™ and try not to maintain some level of professionalism.
Oh screw that! The Avengers!

Don't know your Captain Americas from your Black Widows? Why does Thor carry around that giant hammer, and what's with Nick Fury's eyepatch? And who in the heck is the guy with the arrows? Hey, all of our years amassing a wealth of comic book knowledge has to be good for somethin', and we're putting it to use by getting you primed and ready for Marvel's The Avengers!
We'll be answering questions on all the colorful characters in Joss Whedon's highly anticipated film, and exploring their motivations to join the Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Plus, we'll take a look at what The Avengers means to the Marvel cinematic universe as a whole. So join us and get ready for The Avengers before it opens on May 4th!

We're huge fans of Jason Statham around here, so you can imagine just how psyched we are to review his latest film, 'Safe'!  He promised to beat both our heads in if we didn't say that.
Jason Segel and Emily Blunt only had a few seconds together in 'The Muppets', but now they'll get to like make out and stuff in 'The Five-Year Engagement', a new romantic comedy directed by Nicholas Stoller and produced by Judd Apatow? Could we be looking at a modern day 'When Harry Met Sally'?
Plus, we'll spend a few minutes talking to Brit Marling about her haunting indie drama, 'Sound of My Voice'!
It's going to be a fun show, so tune in and join us, or log in to the chat room and let your voice be heard!

A review of the Norwegian thriller, 'Headhunters', based on the book by Joe Nesbo.

Join the PDC as they sit down to talk with director Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused, A Scanner Darkly) about his new film Bernie starring Jack Black, Matthew McConaughey, and screen legend Shirley MacLaine.

Zac Efron as an Iraq War vet? Did we stumble into the Twilight Zone and nobody tell us? Whatever, dude, we'll see if he can pull it off(not his shirt, ladies!) as part of The Lucky One, based on a book by Nicholas Sparks.
Plus, John and I will hip check each other into the boards during our review of the hockey comedy, Goon, starring Seann William Scott., and we'll also take a look at Think Like A Man, based on the book by Steve Harvey.
Tune in this Sunday night and join us in the chat room!

We're comin' at you at a very special time this week, because we figure after waiting two years for Joss Whedon's The Cabin in the Woods to finally hit theaters, you deserve a break. The long awaited horror written by everybody's favorite Buffy creator is here, but was the wait worth it?
Speaking of waiting, nobody was sitting on their hands anticipating The Three Stooges, but is it possible the Farrelly Brothers haven't thrown mud in the eye of the legendary comedy troupe? 
Also we'll take a look at Guy Pearce in Lockout, Morgan Spurlock's new documentary on the crazy world of San Diego Comic-Con, and the controversial documentary, Bully!

In the latest episode of "Wow do I feel old LIVE!" we'll be checking in with Jim, Stifler and the rest of the gang on their reunion. I can't believe these kids, who graduated the same year as me, are already back for their high school reunion, complete with kids, marriages and bald spots. While Travis recovers from his week abroad our good friend Josh Hylton of Cinemapocalypse will sit in and help keep me on track. In honor of pie coitus we'll be talking about our favorite R-rated comedies and I'll get Josh's take on my "Why the next Batman is doomed to suck' theory. We'll see you Sunday at 7pm!

This week we are joined by one of our favorite all time guests Rocky Hadadi who we commend for being brave enough to co host with me while Travis is away. Rocky will be trying to keep me in line while we talk a little more 'Hunger Games' and also this weeks new releases 'Wrath of the Titans' and the fairytale 'Mirror, Mirror'. Adding to that last part we will be talking about the our favorite fantasy  films of all time and letting you know what the genre has to offer in the coming year.

Because we know just one show about The Hunger Games isn't nearly enough, we'll be joined by The Washington Post's Jen Chaney to get her thoughts! Plus, we'll also talk the most buzzed about martial arts movie in years, The Raid: Redemption!
We'll also be joined by Brendon Connelly and to sort out this whole 'TMNT-Gate' mess involving Michael Bay's plans for our beloved Ninja Turtles. Has he stepped in it one time too many?
We hope you'll join us in the chat room for what should be one hell of a show!
