Punch Drunk Podcast

It's our first show of 2012, and what better way to put 2011 to bed than with our picks for the Best Movies of the Year? We'll be joined by NextMovie.com's Sandie Angulo Chen, as well as featuring the thoughts of some our favorite local critics.

It's the holiday season, and as usual Hollywood has seen fit to bury us beneath a mountain of new movies. We've got a lot to cover this week as we'll take a look at two Steven Spielberg movies, the animated The Adventures of Tintin, and War Horse. Then we'll dive into the spooky world of David Fincher's remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.  Plus we'll get our spirits lifted with Cameron Crowe and his family comedy, We Bought A Zoo! And last but not least we'll spend a few minutes with the silent film that has had critics raving, The Artist! 
It's a jam packed show, so we hope you'll join us in the chat room!

This is going to be one jam packed show with four reviews, a special guest, and our picks for the worst films of the year, so sit back and watch us squirm as we try to get through it all.  We'll have reviews of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol, and Young Adult.
Then as we continue to roll on with the end of the year lists, we'll be joined by Flixist's Matt Razak to look at the films that made us want to flee the theaters or cry into our sleeves with disgust. 
We hope you'll tune in, and share your thoughts and questions in the chat room!
