| 6/25/26 | ![]() Episode 31-Highlander | 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.

| 11/28/24 | ![]() Episode 19-A Nightmare on Elm Street | Episode 19- A Nightmare on Elm Street Are you ready for Freddy? No, not really. I’m a big horror fan but not a massive lover of Wes Craven’s 1980s classic A Nightmare on Elm Street. Razor fingered demons with stripy shirts who kill you in your dreams, a telephone that comes alive and licks your face and Freddy Krueger’s elongated Big Bird arms don’t really do it for me. I’d much rather watch Art the Clown kill people with his big black bin liner full of weapons in Damian Leone’s Terrifier movies. Damian Asher feels differently. He saw Nightmare on Elm Street when he was a wee nipper, and it scared the living daylights out of him. Damian is also, possibly a little ambivalent about Art the Clown and his more recent, ultraviolent shenanigans. So, it’s Freddy vs Art and Adam vs Damian for the ultimate movie monster smack-down in our post Halloween, pod cast horror-thon. One-Two Adam’s coming for you.

| 10/31/24 | ![]() Episode 18-RRR | Episode 18-RRR Flying tigers, Indian freedom fighters and evil English scumbags.Bloody battles, numerous songs, one spectacular dance routine and a very brutal flogging. What’s not to love in S.S Rajamouli’s Tolly (not Bolly) Wood breakout international action hit? Nothing, if your Adam (despite repeatedly mispronouncing the director’s name in the podcast). Plenty, if you are Damian (who only made it through the first twenty minutes on his first viewing). So, what will it be? RRR or GRRR!?! Tune in and find out.

| 10/24/24 | ![]() Episode 17-Gladiator | Episode 17-Gladiator For those about to listen, we salute you. In this epic episode of the Punching Up Movie Podcast Adam unleashes hell (and a couple of hungry man-eating tigers) on Gladiator, Ridley Scott’s tale of Roman revenge and arena combat. Adam quite likes Scott but really doesn’t like Gladiator. Damian likes Gladiator but has an axe to grind with Sir Ridley. Let battle commence. Will either of them earn their place in Elysium? Probably not. But Adam might get into Valhalla on a technicality, because of the amount of time he namechecks the (in his opinion) far superior Conan the Barbarian. So listen, by Crom, or Jupiter will get you. Get in touch :O) by sending us an email @ punchingupmoviepodcast@gmail.com Follow us on Instagram @ punchingupmoviepodcast | 1h 15m 30s | ||||||
| 9/19/24 | ![]() Episode 16-Dr Strangelove | Episode 16-Dr Strangelove What could possibly be worse than Peter Sellers? Peter Sellers times 3. In Stanley Kubrick’s 1964 nuclear war black comedy, Dr Strangelove, England’s greatest comic actor plays three separate characters and Damian Asher doesn’t like it. Does three times the Sellers = three times the hate from the normally benign Stanley Kubrick uber fan Damian? Combine that with the usual radioactive malice of myself, Adam Nightingale and will the Punching Up squad accidently trigger a chain reaction of spite that will consume the world in a permanent nuclear winter of white-hot Peter Sellers hatred? Or alternatively will they simply run out of horrible things to say about the man and sheepishly admit that he’s actually quite funny.

| 9/12/24 | ![]() Episode 15-Bram Stoker's Dracula | Episode 15-Bram Stoker's DraculaWho is the best Dracula? Is it Bela Lugosi’s suave count, Christopher Lee’s aristocratic Prince of Darkness, Max Shrek’s rat faced Nosferatu… or Gary Oldman’s lovelorn immortal who has crossed oceans of time to romance Winona Rider in Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula? Well, if you're Adam Nightingale it is most definitely not Gary Oldman, as the Lord of the Undead goes twelve rounds with the punching up team. It’s a long one as Damian and Adam cover all things Dracula and still have oceans of time left to mention drama school dance workouts, dirty vampires vs clean vampires, David Soul’s pop career and how Damian Asher saved Adam from Christian rock music in the early 1990s. You would be Vlad to miss it. Get in touch :O) by sending us an email @ punchingupmoviepodcast@gmail.com Follow us on Instgram @ punchingupmoviepodcast | 1h 08m 46s | ||||||
| 8/8/24 | ![]() Episode 14-Kill Bill Volume 2 | Episode 14-Kill Bill Vol 2 In the second part of our first two-parter, Punching Up punches up at its first sequel, Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill Vol 2. Damian perpetuates his beef with QT’s roaring, raging, rampage of revenging but narrows his focus to the eponymous Bill himself. Damian doesn’t like David Carradine’s performance. Adam tries manfully to defend the late martial artist movie star who can’t do martial arts, who once adorned yellow face to play a Chinese criminal named Wang Dong and died under very dubious circumstances in a Thailand hotel room (which we gallantly do not mention in this episode). Who will win this roaring, retributive, rampage of retribution-ism-ing. Tune in and find out. Get in touch :O) by sending us an email @ punchingupmoviepodcast@gmail.com | 57m 46s | ||||||
| 7/25/24 | ![]() Episode 13-Kill Bill Volume 1 | Episode 13-Kill Bill Volume 1 In this episode Damian and Adam don’t so much punch up but chop down, with a katana sword (or to be more precise, a Hattori Hanzo sword), as it is time to kill Kill Bill, or kill Kill Bill Volume 1 (to be even more precise), Quention Tarantino’s martial arts masterpiece of retribution and revenge. So, expect 450 gallons of blood, a million cult movie references, a hundred million needle drops, multiple flying body parts, and attractive ladies naked feet…so, so many attractive ladies naked feet. It’s going to get bloody and it’s going to get weird as Damian and Adam cross swords (and play footsy) with the great Q T. Get in touch :O).

| 7/4/24 | ![]() Episode 12-Bande a Part | Episode 12-Bande a Part In the immortal words of Thin Lizzy (or that blues band that played in 48 Hours), The Boys Are Back In Town. That's right, Punching Up The Movie Podcast is back.This week we take shots at one of the pioneers of the French Nouvelle Vague cinema, Maoist essayist and intellectual contrarian, Jean Luc Godard and his supposedly most accessible film Bande a Part. Will Godard’s fourth-wall breaking tale of two guys, one beautiful girl, smoking, shrugging, dancing and petty crime expand Damian and Adam’s intellectual horizons? Or will it be the most boring and pretentious 90 minutes they have ever collectively endured. Listen in and find out.Get in touch :O).

| 3/28/24 | ![]() Episode 11-Easy Rider | Episode 11-EASY RIDER (1969) Two men went looking for a podcast and couldn’t find it anywhere. On this episode Adam takes a swing at the biker movie, road movie, hippytastic gamechanger that singlehandedly launched the New Hollywood, 1969’s Easy Rider, not realizing that it is one of Damian’s favourite movies. Will their friendship survive, or will they (in the paraphrased words of the immortal Peter Fonda) Blow It? Why does Damian like Easy Rider so much? Is it his innate love of counter culture and the magic herb? Why does Adam hate Easy Rider so much and what has he got against travelling troops of Hippy actors? Does it have something to do with his murky Christian drama group past? Hold on. Is it therapy time, again???? Come on Adam, let the sunshine in. In the paraphrased words of the immortal Stephen Schwartz: Join Us and find out. Get in touch :O) Send us an email @: punchingupmoviepodcast@gmail.com | 1h 08m 35s | ||||||
| 2/22/24 | ![]() Episode 10-The Departed | Episode 10-THE DEPARTED (2006) What has poor Martin Scorsese done to annoy the Punching Up team? Our series hasn’t been going that long and this is the third time around for America’s greatest living director. It’s beginning to look like a lot like bullying. This time it’s the turn of The Departed, Scorsese’s Boston-based Irish-American remake of the Hong Kong thriller Infernal Affairs starring Leonardo Di Caprio, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson. Damian doesn’t like remakes and dislikes The Departed.Adam doesn’t like remakes but really likes The Departed. Damian doesn’t like remakes but likes Scorsese’s remake of Cape Fear.Adam doesn’t like Cape Fear but loves Juliette Lewis.But at least there’s one thing they can both agree on, neither Adam nor Damian like Ray Winstone’s ropey America accent in The Departed. Enjoy the carnage. Get in touch :O) Send us an email @: punchingupmoviepodcast@gmail.com | 54m 36s | ||||||
| 2/8/24 | ![]() Episode 9-Hard Boiled | Episode 9-HARD BOILED (1992)Can an action movie have too much action? Punching Up’s Adam thinks so. Is John Woo’s cop vs triads cult classic, Hard Boiled really better than a dozen Die Hards, or does it suffer from a terminal case of the try-hards? Adam thinks it does. Is John Woo really the Mozart of Mayhem, or is he actually the Andre Rieu of Chinese Gun fu? Adam reckons he might be Rieu, making the case that two hours of wall-to-wall gun fighting (however exquisitely choreographed) can be quite boring. As always, Damian disagrees with him. So, grab a 45 in each hand, put a matchstick in your mouth, release the doves and listen to Damian and Adam dance their slow-motion bullet ballet for your listening entertainment to determine whether Hard Boiled really deserves its Punching Up status.

Find out in the latest Punching Up episode when Adam and Damian discuss the cult fave from a few years ago, Japanese film One Cut of the Dead directed by Shin'ichirō Ueda.Who liked it? Who didn't?

| 12/21/23 | ![]() Episode 7-Shaft | Episode 7-SHAFT (1971) According to the legendary Isaac Hayes, John Shaft is a “Bad Mutha” as well as being a “sex machine to all the chicks,” whilst also being a “complicated man… who will risk his neck for his brother man.” But is the 1971 Blaxploitation classic that bears his name any good? While fully and freely conceding Shaft’s status as a cinematic cultural landmark, Adam suspects that the film itself, (to quote John Shaft), might actually be a little bit “Shitty!” What does Punching Up’s own Complicated Man, Damian think?Tune in and find out. Can you dig it? Although respectful to the legacy and talent of Shaft’s iconic leading man Richard Rountree, this episode was recorded before the great man’s passing.
