Punching Up-Episode 32-Halloween

For the first time in Punching Up’s relatively brief but illustrious history Damian takes a swing at a film Adam actually cares about, John Carpenter’s trend setting, genre launching slasher masterpiece (or should that be slash-ter-piece?), Halloween.

Adam first had the living dingles scared out of him by Carpenter’s OG serial killing bogey (or should that be boogey) man Michael Myers when he was a kid and has been serially creeped him out by him ever since.

Damian is clearly made of sterner stuff and isn’t remotely frightened by Halloween and it’s going to take more than an indestructible, William Shatner mask wearing, knife wielding embodiment of pure evil to get the D Man to soil himself anytime soon.

So, join the Punching Up team for kitchen knives at dusk and a proper Halloween carve up.

We also talk about the pedestrian Halloween 2, the really rather interesting cinematic experiment that is Halloween 3 and quite a bit more.

Punching Up-Episode 31-Highlander

Here we are, born to be kings, we are princes of the podcast-verse.
And to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the head lopping, Queen scored, Sean Connery featuring, 1980s cult classic that made an unlikely star of Christophe Lambert, the Punching Up crew will be putting Highlander to sword.
On the chopping block this episode will be wayward Scottish accents, wayward Egyptian/Spanish accent hybrids, the weird appeal of Christophe Lambert, MTV editing, inexplicably crap swordfights and the bulletproof nature of Sean Connery’s superstardom.
We also discuss whether it’s a good idea to do backflips in the middle of a dual in a dirty 1980s New York underground carpark. It’s not all negative though.
Damian and Adam also take a little time to throw out some qualified love toward an Australian movie about a pig. And it’s not Babe. Because Babe doesn’t eat people. Confused. Don’t worry. It will all makes sense when you tune in. A lot more sense than the plot of Highlander.
