One Movie PunchEpisode 746 - The Report (2019)Hi everyone! It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? I’m back today with this special episode, covering a film that I saw just before the stay-at-home orders were issued in California for the current pandemic. It’s going to be an extended episode, with an update on things here at One Movie Punch, my review of THE REPORT entangled with an essay on how the pandemic has affected the film industry in the short term and the long term, and for those that stick around afterwards, a fun audio drama to tide you over during the exte...

One Movie PunchEpisode 745 - Leto (2018)Hi everyone! We’re closing out the week with our final entry for this quarter in our series “Under the Kanopy”. Kanopy is a library and university funded streaming service that grants card holders six free streams a month, featuring a combination of classic, mainstream, independent, and international films. They currently have streaming deals with some of our favorite distributors, like A24 and Kino Lorber, which offer the critically acclaimed, if not commercially successful films. Today’s film I sort of chose at random when filling out the schedule for the quarter, not really realizing it was a...
2020-03-1400 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 744 - Swallow (2019)Hi everyone! It’s Friday, so it’s time for another Fantastic Fest feature from Andrew Campbell. Today’s feature had a very limited run in the theaters from podcast favorite IFC Films, picked up from the flurry of content that debuts at Fantastic Fest every year. Andrew will be up with his review of SWALLOW in just a bit, but for a few other reviews from Andrew, check out AFTER MIDNIGHT (Episode #737), JALLIKATTU (Episode #730), and BLISS (Episode #723). Before the review, we’ll have a promo from our good friends at the Book of Lies Podcast...
2020-03-1300 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 743 - Tokyo Godfathers (2003)Hi everyone! Happy Thursday! We’re welcoming back Christina Eldridge to the podcast with a review of the latest offering from GKIDS, a remastered cut of 2003’s critically acclaimed TOKYO GODFATHERS. We’re lucky to have Christina’s long-term love of anime on board here. For a few other recent reviews, check out RIDE YOUR WAVE (Episode #722), KLAUS (Episode #708), and her debut review for WEATHERING WITH YOU (Episode #687). Before the review, we’ll have a promo from our friends at the Pop Pour Review podcast! Every week, the PPR crew review a film, then craft a cocktail...
2020-03-1200 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 742 - The Great Hack (2019)Hi everyone! For those of you outside the United States, or perhaps living under a rock within the United States, we’re currently going through a presidential primary campaign. It’s been a bumpy ride so far, with a lot of noise and very little substance. But it has also been driven, at least in part, by the lesson of the previous election cycle, which involved the use of Big Data to collect information on US voters. Up to 5,000 data points per voter. You all know how biased I am when it comes to US politics, so that...
2020-03-1100 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 741 - Motherless Brooklyn (2019)Hi everyone! One of our goals before we close out the quarter is to review every film nominated for either a Golden Globe or an Oscar this year. Sometimes this can be tough, especially for international films that get very limited showings in the United States and even fewer streaming opportunities. Sometimes it can be tough when an underseen film gets the nomination, like today’s review for MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN. We’re lucky to have Jon-David back to help us out with today’s review. For a few other reviews from Jon-David, check out MALEFICENT: MISTRESS OF EVIL...
2020-03-1000 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 740 - Onward (2020)Hi everyone! Welcome back for another Matinee Monday. Some weekends it’s easier to pick a film than other weekends. And generally, whenever Pixar releases a new film, we’re first in line to check it out. Stay tuned for my review of ONWARD in a minute, but for a couple other Pixar films we’ve reviewed, check out INCREDIBLES 2 (Episode #169) and TOY STORY 4 (Episode #531). Before the review, we’ll have a brand-new promo from our good friends at The VHS Strikes Back podcast. Every week, Dave and Chris blow the dust off an actual VHS cass...
2020-03-0900 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 739 - The Art of Self-Defense (2019)Hi everyone! Welcome back for our last two weeks of One Movie Punch for first quarter. We’re wrapping up the quarter with a bunch of great films from your favorite critics. Today, I’ll be reviewing THE ART OF SELF-DEFENSE and talking about toxic dojos. And tomorrow, I’ll be reviewing ONWARD, the latest Pixar offering. On Tuesday, Jon-David returns with 2020 Golden Globe nominee MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN. On Wednesday, Shane Hyde returns with his review of THE GREAT HACK, a real-life horror story happening right now. On Thursday, Christina Eldridge returns with a review of TOKYO GODFATHERS, recent...

They currently have streaming deals with some of our favorite distributors, like A24 and Kino Lorber, which offer the critically acclaimed, if not commercially successful films. Today’s film was one recommended early last week, when I was suffering from a migraine and looking for distraction while the medicine worked. Whil...
2020-03-0700 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 737 - After Midnight (2019)Hi everyone! It’s Friday, so we’re back with another Fantastic Fest review from Andrew Campbell. After trying to guess the plot for the last few movies, I have decided to stop doing that. I think this film was entitled AFTER MIDNIGHT, but it was actually SOMETHING ELSE. That was the original title, actually. SOMETHING ELSE. Andrew’s gonna let it all hang out in a minute, but for a few other recent reviews from Andrew, check out JALLIKATTU (Episode #730), THE CALL OF THE WILD (Episode #726), and BLISS (Episode #723). Before the review, we’ll have a p...
2020-03-0600 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 736 - Portrait Of A Lady On Fire (2019)Hi everyone! Today we’re welcoming back Keith Lyons for another review. We’re batting cleanup this month with a few Oscar and Golden Globe nominations. PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE was recently re-released in US theaters, and we’re lucky to have Keith on the case. Of course, we’ll just have to forget about that whole finding Keith an English-language film thing from last time. For a few other recent reviews from Keith, check out HONEYLAND (Episode #715), LES MISERABLES (Episode #680), and ATLANTICS (Episode #669). Before the review, we’ll have a promo from our good f...
2020-03-0500 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 735 - Alive (2020)Hi everyone! Welcome back for another Indie Wednesday. Every Wednesday we like to feature a microbudget or independent production, and sometimes we’re lucky enough to chat with the filmmakers themselves. Today, I’ll be reviewing ALIVE, the latest short by Swedish filmmaker Jimmy Olsson, which takes a fun look at sex and ableism. We’ll hear a few snippets from our interview with Jimmy during this review, but for a few other similar episodes, check out our reviews for TURBINES (Episode #721), CLOSURE (Episode #707), and SANDOW (Episode #693). We’ll have a bit of format switch today. B...
2020-03-0400 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 734 - Long Shot (2019)Hi everyone! It’s Tuesday, and today we’re welcoming back One Movie Spouse to the podcast, with a review of a film she’s been wanting to see for a very long time. In many ways, the film reminds me of how she and I first met, and how unlikely we seemed to so many people. Of course, I wasn’t able to watch it with her, so I’ll just have to assume that everything works out fine. For a few other recent reviews from One Movie Spouse, check out MISS AMERICANA (Episode #725), BOMBSHELL (Episode #701), and LITTLE...
2020-03-0300 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 733 - The Invisible Man (2020)Hi everyone! Welcome back for another Matinee Monday. You know, trailers usually go one of two directions for me. I generally try to avoid them to enjoy that pure initial viewing experience. Some trailers I get really sick of, really quick. But the trailer for THE INVISIBLE MAN has been nothing short of exciting, especially after being blown away by 2018’s UPGRADE (Episode #155). If you’re turned off because of the SAW and INSIDIOUS franchises, I assure you that today’s film is not that. It’s something much, much more. Before the review, we’ll have a...
2020-03-0200 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 732 - The Assistant (2019)Hi everyone! Welcome to March! Things have been super busy around here at One Movie Punch as we begin to wrap up first quarter. This week we’re coming in with a slate of five Certified Fresh films, including tomorrow’s review for THE INVISIBLE MAN, Tuesday’s review of LONG SHOT from One Movie Spouse, Thursday’s review of PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE from Keith Lyons, Saturday’s review of THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS from your truly, along with today’s review of THE ASSISTANT. Andrew will be back on Friday with his review of recent VO...

They currently have streaming deals with some of our favorite distributors, like A24 and Kino Lorber, which offer the critically acclaimed, if not commercially successful films. Today’s film covers one of my favorite artists, both while growing up, and in retrospect as I have time to learn about him. Leon...
2020-02-2900 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 730 - Jallikattu (2019)Hi everyone! It’s Friday, so it’s time for another Fantastic Fest feature from Andrew Campbell. This week will feature absolutely no BS. No wait, I’m sorry, this film will be full of BS, and I mean actual bullshit. Not a bunch of lies and stories for which the term bullshit is used, but actual bullshit, along with actual bulls, who have an actual prize tied to their horns called... JALLIKATTU! Don’t miss Andrew’s other recent reviews for THE CALL OF THE WILD (Episode #726), BLISS (Episode #723), and SCHOOL’S OUT (Episode #716). Before the r...
2020-02-2800 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 729 - Pain and Glory (2019)Hi everyone! We’re back with another review from Jon-David, aka the Mafia Hairdresser, who is absolutely determined to pick up all our missing award nominees and winners from last year, including today’s underhyped film, PAIN AND GLORY, featuring a commanding performance from Antonio Banderas. We’re excited to get Jon-David’s take on the film. Don’t miss his recent reviews for MALEFICENT: MISTRESS OF EVIL (Episode #713), THE CAVE (Episode #706), and RICHARD JEWELL (Episode #692).

2020-02-2700 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 728 - The House Of The Devil (2009)Hi everyone! All right, we’re hitting the pause button on Indie Wednesdays for another contractually-obligated review from Shane Hyde, due to the peace accords signed after last year’s Reign of Terror 2019. Shane and I had a minor month-long disagreement you can check out beginning with One Movie Spouse’s review for CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME? (Episode #594), and heading through the entire month of October. Today we’ll have another installment of his beat we like to call Horror Stories, and today’s a gem from 2009 entitled THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL. Don’t miss his recent r...
2020-02-2600 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 727 - The Photograph (2020)Hi everyone! Welcome back for another Takeover Tuesday, and this one is going to be a real treat. I’m not going to lie. Kolby’s been straight teasing me about being on this podcast for about 18 months. Yeah, sure, he’s got his own podcast entitled Kolby Told Me, which you’ll hear about before the review. Yeah, sure, he’s co-host for the Minorites Report Podcast, that drops weekly doses of perspective on popular culture. But, it wasn’t until I sent him the Puss In Boots meme with the saucer-eyes and welling up tears that he fina...
2020-02-2500 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 726 - The Call of the Wild (2020)Hi everyone! Andrew’s taking the helm for today’s Matinee Monday, with a review from the debut offering from the recently renamed 20th Century Studios. Like that Fox brand might be toxic or something. Anyway, Andrew will be up in a minute with his review of THE CALL OF THE WILD. Don’t miss Andrew’s other recent reviews for BLISS (Episode #723), SCHOOL’S OUT (Episode #716), and COME TO DADDY (Episode #709). None of those are family films, by the way. Not even COME TO DADDY. Before the review, we’ll have a promo from our good fri...
2020-02-2400 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 725 - Miss Americana (2020)Hi everyone! Welcome back for another week of reviews! This week, we’ll be closing out February with a fun mix of reviews. Tomorrow, Andrew Campbell will takeover Matinee Monday with his review of the recently renamed 20th Century Studios distribution, THE CALL OF THE WILD. On Tuesday, we’ll finally get the elusive Kolby Told Me on the podcast, with his take on THE PHOTOGRAPH as part of Takeover Tuesday. On Wednesday, Shane Hyde returns with his review of 2009’s THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, recently made available on streaming services. Thursday will see yet another review...

They currently have streaming deals with some of our favorite distributors, like A24 and Kino Lorber, which offer the critically acclaimed, if not commercially successful films.

2020-02-2200 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 723 - Bliss (2019)Hi everyone! It’s Friday, so it’s time for another Fantastic Fest feature from Andrew Campbell. This week we’re getting a Shudder exclusive, so if you’ve ever been thinking about taking the plunge into this genre-driven service, now is the time! It’s the only place you’ll find independent darlings like PREVENGE, REVENGE, MANDY, and podcast favorite, ONE CUT OF THE DEAD (Episode #625). Don’t miss Andrew’s other recent reviews for SCHOOL’S OUT (Episode #716), COME TO DADDY (Episode #709), and THE LODGE (Episode #702). Before the review, we’ll have a brand-new promo from...
2020-02-2100 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 722 - Ride Your Wave (2019)Hi everyone! Today, we’re welcoming back Christina Eldridge, aka Durara Reviews, with her take on another domestic GKIDS distribution, their first of 2020, entitled RIDE YOUR WAVE. As always, Christina will give you her thoughts on the film, but be sure to check out her recent reviews for KLAUS (Episode #708) and her first review at One Movie Punch for another GKIDS distribution, WEATHERING WITH YOU (Episode #687). Both films are well worth checking out. Before the review, we’ll have a promo from our good friend Rory Mitchell, from the Mitchell Report Unleashed podcast. They were grac...
2020-02-2000 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 721 - Turbines (2019)Hi everyone! Welcome back for another Indie Wednesday review. Before we get started with today’s review, I want to shout out Yolandi Franken for passing along today’s film for consideration. She was also instrumental in passing along last year’s TABERNACLE 101 (Episode #619) and helping to line up an interview with writer/director and microbudget instructor Colm O’Murchu. She’s quickly becoming my gateway into low-budget Australian cinema, especially after connecting me with writer/director Igor Breakenback for today’s review. Thanks, Yolandi! We’ll have a bit of a format switch for today’s episod...
2020-02-1900 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 720 - Birds Of Prey (2020)Hi everyone! Welcome back for another Takeover Tuesday. You know, when I saw today’s movie was coming up, I knew I had to call in the big guns for this review. And when they weren’t available, I called up Dave and Chris at the Comics in Motion Podcast, because they are gluttons for punishment, but also have a lot of insightful things to say about comics books on the big and small screens. Today’s review will be covering the DCEU’s latest installment, HARLEY QUINN: BIRDS OF PREY, but don’t miss their previous reviews fo...
2020-02-1800 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 719 - Blumhouse's Fantasy Island (2020)Hi everyone! You know, when I first met Ryan, when he arrived at the One Movie Punch Secret Island Base, he told me one of his biggest fantasies was to review a film on One Movie Punch for Matinee Monday. So, without him knowing, I actually sold the island to Blumhouse Productions last year, with the stipulation that he would be allowed to review the movie. They looked at me like I was an idiot, but I think we’ll all see in a moment who got the better end of the deal. Especially when they found ou...
2020-02-1700 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 718 - The Dark Knight (2008)Hi everyone! Welcome back for another week of reviews! This week, we have so much in store for everyone! I’ll get to today’s exciting Sponsor Sunday review in a bit, but that’s just one of seven amazing reviews for you this week. Tomorrow, Ryan L. Terry returns for Matinee Monday with a review for the comedy horror reboot, BLUMHOUSE’S FANTASY ISLAND. Tuesday, the Comics in Motion Podcast return to cover the DCEU’s latest entry, BIRDS OF PREY. On Wednesday, I’ll be reviewing the low-budget, independent thriller TURBINES, featuring interview segments fro...
2020-02-1600 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 717 - To Dust (2018)Hi everyone! We’re closing out the week with another entry in our series, Under the Kanopy.

They currently have streaming deals with some of our favorite distributors, like A24 and Kino Lorber, which offer the critically acclaimed, if not commercially successful films. Today’s film deals with grief in unexpectedly funny ways, while also exploring some of the weirder relationships between faith and science. My review of TO DUST...
2020-02-1500 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 716 - School's Out (2018)Hi everyone! It’s Friday, so it’s time for another Fantastic Fest feature from Andrew Campbell. After completely missing the mark on the subject matter for last week’s COME TO DADDY (Episode #709), Andrew gave me some bullet points for the film, which he’s assured me is not a documentary about the famous end of school year anthem. So, on this Valentine’s Day, this romantic comedy concerns a group of honors students... who gather together as their teacher... oh. Oh my. Definitely letting Andrew handle this one. Don’t miss his other recent reviews for THE LODG...
2020-02-1400 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 715 - Honeyland (2019)Hi everyone! We’re continuing our Oscar cleanup week with a review from Keith Lyons, aka Philly Film Fan, covering HONEYLAND, a nominee for Best Documentary Feature, all the way from Macedonia. He’ll be up in a minute with his thoughts, but don’t miss his recent reviews for LES MISERABLES (Episode #680), ATLANTICS (Episode #669), and I LOST MY BODY (Episode #646). I should probably get him an English-language film to watch here at some point. Before the review, we’ll have a promo from the Top 5 from Fighting podcast. Every episode, Greg and Mike discuss a wide r...
2020-02-1300 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 714 - The Dark Sleep (2012)Hi everyone! Welcome back for another Indie Wednesday. I thought that I would receive a flood of requests for film reviews from low-budget and independent distributors after starting this segment. Granted, we’re only a few weeks into the year, but I know whenever the requests stop flooding in that Amazon Prime has my back for finding low budget films out there, as part of their Prime Video Direct agreement. You can peruse literally thousands of films, all looking for their audience. And with today’s low-budget adaptation of an H.P. Lovecraft story, I am definitely a pa...
2020-02-1200 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 713 - Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil (2019)Hi everyone! Welcome back for the second review this month from Jon-David, aka the Mafia Hairdresser, who is picking up today’s review for Oscar nominee MALEFICENT: MISTRESS OF EVIL as part of our cleanup week. Check social media to see if they took home the gold, as this episode was pre-produced before the ceremony. And regardless of whether it wins, Jon-David will be up in a minute with thoughts, along with a promo for his serial podcast The Mafia Hairdresser Chronicles. Don’t miss his previous two reviews for One Movie Punch, including RICHARD JEWELL (Episode #692) and...
2020-02-1100 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 712 - Breakthrough (2019)Hi everyone! It’s another catchup week here at One Movie Punch, especially in the wake of the 92nd Academy Awards yesterday evening. Most of our episodes went into pre-production before the ceremony, so I can’t tell you right now whether today’s film, BREAKTHROUGH, won the award for Best Original Song, after being nominated seemingly out of nowhere. So, in lieu of Matinee Monday, and with BIRDS OF PREY being covered by the lovely folks at the Comics in Motion Podcast during next week’s Takeover Tuesday, I figure this is my opportunity to check this one...
2020-02-1000 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 711 - The Edge Of Democracy (2019)Hi everyone! Welcome back for another week of reviews! Tonight’s the big night! The 92nd Academy Awards will be held today at 5:00pm PST, and we’ll see just how the Academy distributes their praise. We’re also catching up on a number of Oscar nominees this week, including today’s review for one of the more insightful documentaries from last year, and an Oscar nominee for Best Documentary Feature. I’ll be up in a minute with my thoughts on 2019’s THE EDGE OF DEMOCRACY. Be sure to stay tuned with us all week...
2020-02-0900 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 710 - Transformer (2017)Hi everyone! We’re closing out the week with another entry in our series, Under the Kanopy. Kanopy is a library and university funded streaming service that grants card holders six free streams a month, featuring a combination of classic, mainstream, independent, and international films. They currently have streaming deals with some of our favorite distributors, like A24 and Kino Lorber, which offer the critically acclaimed, if not commercially successful films.

2020-02-0800 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 709 - Come To Daddy (2019)Hi everyone! It’s Friday, and Andrew’s bringing the Fantastic Fest fire with today’s film, a behind-the-scenes documentary into the origins of Aphex Twin’s 1997 album, “Come to Daddy”. We’ll get everything from the influences behind the composition, along with the cult music video, which... What’s that? This is a comedy horror film starring Elijah Wood? But influenced by the album, right? No? Right, well, I don’t know what today’s film is about, but Andrew does, and he’ll be up in a minute. I guess I can just shelve this thirty-minute spoken w...
2020-02-0700 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 708 - Klaus (2019)Hi everyone! Christina’s back today with a look at one of the more unlikely nominees for Best Animated Feature, 2019’s KLAUS. It’s always nice when a film gets recognition that’s not from one of the ginormous animation houses. But I ask you, is a tagline like “Welcome to the Jingle” really what you think of when you think of an Oscar film? While that might have deterred me, it did not deter Christina, who will be up in a moment with her review. Don’t miss her debut review at One Movie Punch for WEATHERING WIT...
2020-02-0600 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 707 - Closure (2019)Hi everyone! Welcome back for another Indie Wednesday spotlight. One Movie Punch continues to extend our network with today’s segment, allowing both myself and our audience a taste of the microbudget and independent features being produced. Sometimes we find hidden gems. Sometimes we find films that have problems. Today’s film is a daytime noir that definitely sits in the former category, especially if you live in, or like to make fun of, Los Angeles and its quirkier denizens. Even better, I had a chance to speak with writer/director Alex Goldberg about the film...
2020-02-0500 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 706 - The Cave (2019)Hi everyone! We’re in the final stretch for the Oscar season! Instead of the usual Takeover Tuesday episodes for the next two weeks, we’re going to take the slot each week for two important things. First, we’re going to catchup on the Oscar nominees (and potential winners). We’re down to just four more we haven’t reviewed yet, which is a much better place than last year. More importantly, however, is the second thing we’re doing, which is introducing Jon-David, aka the Mafia Hairdresser, as a regular contributor at One Movie Punch. It’s f...
2020-02-0400 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 705 - The Rhythm Section (2020)Hi everyone! Welcome back for another Matinee Monday. This week, I had the pleasure of taking in Blake Lively’s latest film, THE RHYTHM SECTION, especially after seeing her performance alongside Anna Kendrick in 2018’s stylish daytime noir, A SIMPLE FAVOR (Episode #274). I’m sure raising children, including adult man-child Ryan Reynolds, takes a great deal of time. Does THE RHYTHM SECTION continue to expand the range of a post-Gossip Girl Blake Lively? You’ll find out in a moment. Before the review, we’ll have a brand new promo from our good friends at The VHS St...
2020-02-0300 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 704 - Dune (1984)Hi everyone! Welcome back for another week of reviews here at One Movie Punch! This week, we have a mixture of film reviews for your enjoyment. On Monday, I’ll be reviewing THE RHYTHM SECTION (2020), starring the incredible Blake Lively in a potential franchise launch. On Tuesday, we’ll be picking up the first of two reviews from Jon-David, aka Mafia Hairdresser, who will be joining the podcast as a regular contributor going forward. He’ll be reviewing THE CAVE (2019) this week, an excellent companion piece to last week’s FOR SAMA (Episode #703). On Wednesday, I’ll be reviewi...
2020-02-0200 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 703 - For Sama (2019)Hi everyone! We’re closing out the week with another entry in our ongoing series, Under the Kanopy. Kanopy is a library and university funded streaming service that grants card holders six free streams per month from a variety of classic, mainstream, independent, and international releases. They also have streaming agreements with excellent distributors, like A24 and Kino Lorber, who often produce and distribute the critically acclaimed, if not commercially successful films. Today’s film, FOR SAMA, was originally available on Kanopy, but has also recently become available on Amazon Prime, YouTube, and PBS after this year’s nomi...
2020-02-0100 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 702 - The Lodge (2019)Hi everyone! It’s Friday, so that means another Fantastic Fest feature from Andrew Campbell. The festival, in addition to screening the best and weirdest genre films every year, has also become a film market for those same features. And now thanks to whatever clerical error resulted in Andrew receiving press credentials last year, we’re reaping the rewards as the purchased films begin receiving limited and independent screenings, including today’s pickup from podcast favorite distributor, Neon. Check out Andrew’s recent reviews from Neon for PARASITE (Episode #628), BORDER (Episode #480), and BODIED (Episode #383). Before the revi...
2020-01-3100 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 701 - Bombshell (2019)Hi everyone! I can think of a number of bad films for date night, but today’s film just might take the prize. One Movie Spouse and I went to see the film on one of our weekly movie dates, and it was a real buzzkill. Not for the excellent performances, incredible costuming, or insightful storytelling, but for the vile, true story behind Fox News. She’s going to be up in a bit with her thoughts, about the movie itself and the story behind it. I’ll just be over here swearing to no one in partic...
2020-01-3000 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 700 - Zombie With A Shotgun (2019)Hi everyone! It’s Episode 700! Thank you all so much for your support since 2018! One Movie Punch has always been a labor of love, and today’s episode is no exception. In fact, today’s film might have required a bit more labor and a little less love to get through, and write, but here it is. You might be wondering why I would be covering a movie like today’s film, and at least in this case, it’s because this film co-stars Kyle Hester, who I had the pleasure of interviewing last year for his ro...
2020-01-2900 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 699 - Cats (2019)Hi everyone! It’s Takeover Tuesday, and we’re welcoming back our good friends at the How I Met Your Friends podcast! Today, they’re tackling the film everyone loves to hate this year, the cinematic trainwreck known as CATS. I’m actually disappointed with the reviews so far, because one of my favorite CDs in my youth was a collection of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s greatest hits, including “Mr. Mistoffelees”. I’m not exactly sure how they could possibly translate this song to the screen, but I think we know now how not to do it. Or do we? Julie...
2020-01-2800 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 698 - The Gentlemen (2020)Hi everyone! Welcome back for another Matinee Monday! This week, I’ll be covering Guy Ritchie’s new film, one of my favorite directors once upon a time, especially for classics like LOCK, STOCK, AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS and SNATCH, along with a host of English gangster films. He’s hit a rough patch as of late, but will today’s film be a return to form? You’ll find out in a moment! Before the review, we’ll have a promo from the Top 5 from Fighting podcast. Every episode, Greg and Mike discuss a wide range o...
2020-01-2700 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 697 - Troop Zero (2019)Hi everyone! Welcome back for another week of reviews. This week, we have a wide variety of films for you, truly something for everyone this week, and maybe at least one or two films for nobody. Today, I’ll be reviewing another feel-good family film, this time on Amazon Prime, followed by my review for Guy Ritchie’s latest film, THE GENTLEMEN, tomorrow. On Tuesday, the How I Met Your Friends podcast will be covering CATS, the film everyone loves to hate. On Wednesday, we’ll be dropping Episode #700, and it’ll be a doozy called ZOMBIE WITH A S...
2020-01-2600 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 696 - The Wild Boys (2017)Hi everyone! Now that we’ve caught up on most of our award nominations, I’m going to close out the quarter on Saturdays with a continuation of our Under the Kanopy series. Kanopy is a library and university funded streaming service that grants card holders and students six free streams per month, from a variety of classic, international, and independent films. They also have streaming agreements with excellent distributors, like A24 and Kino Lorber, who often produce and distribute the critically acclaimed, if not commercially successful films. Today’s movie is a surrealistic look at gender in all...
2020-01-2500 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 695 - Color Out Of Space (2019)Hi everyone! So, here’s the thing. And yes, it’s Friday, so that means Fantastic Fest and Andrew Campbell and all of that but let me just say that I am supremely jealous that Andrew got a chance to see this film, because as he alluded to in last week’s episode, I am a huge fan of H.P. Lovecraft. Not the barely concealed racism or the other quite valid social and cultural criticisms of the man and his work, but for the absolutely unique mix of gothic horror, scientific advancement, dread of the unknown, and a...
2020-01-2400 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 694 - Wounds (2019)Hi everyone! We are legally obligated to welcome back Shane Hyde to the podcast, a condition of the One Movie Punch Secret Volcano Lair Accords signed last year in the wake of Reign of Terror 2019. If you want the full details, be sure to check out last year’s month-long event, beginning with One Movie Spouse’s review for CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME? (Episode #594), and continuing all through October 2019. A month worth of Shane’s sultry voice, and secret machinations. He’ll be up for a Hulu Original film, at least in the United States, and apparent...
2020-01-2300 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 693 - Sandow (2018)Hi everyone! We’re back with another Indie Wednesday here at One Movie Punch. Every Wednesday, I’ll be reviewing an independent or microbudget movie that doesn’t get a lot of attention. Sometimes that means we find a diamond in the rough. Sometimes that means we learn the real and/or perceived limits on filmmaking. But we’ll always be discovering something new, even if that means looking at an older subject. Today film is 2018’s SANDOW, written and directed by Alexander Cooper, who I had the pleasure to sit down with to discuss the film...
2020-01-2200 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 692 - Richard Jewell (2019)Hi everyone! It’s Takeover Tuesday, and we’re welcoming back Jon-David, aka Mafia Hairdresser, who will be looking at Clint Eastwood’s latest film, RICHARD JEWELL, which has earned Kathy Bates multiple awards nominations. It’s a challenging film, tackling a disturbing case of “trial by media” in the wake of the 1996 Summer Olympics bombing in Atlanta, Georgia. Jon-David will be up in just a bit to give us his views, right after a promo for his serial audio drama, The Mafia Hairdresser Chronicles, based on his experience cutting hair for cocaine dealers in the 1980s. Yes, really...
2020-01-2100 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 691 - Bad Boys For Life (2020)Hi everyone! It’s Matinee Monday, our first of the year! It’s also the return of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence to the Bad Boys franchise, another attempt by Hollywood to reboot a classic and successful series of films. I’ll admit, I’ve been leery about watching franchise reboots, especially after the series of bad franchise entries last year. Don’t believe me? Check out Ryan’s review for GLASS (Episode #393), DARK PHOENIX (Episode #511), FAST AND FURIOUS PRESENTS: HOBBS & SHAW (Episode #554), RAMBO: LAST BLOOD (Episode #634), and TERMINATOR: DARK FATE (Episode #645). But does today’s film fall into the...
2020-01-2000 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 690 - Togo (2019)Hi everyone! Welcome back for another week of reviews! This week, we have an odd mixture of films for your consumption. Today, I’ll be reviewing a surprise critical hit on Disney+, followed by my review tomorrow for the triumphant return of the Bad Boys franchise on Matinee Mondays. Mafia Hairdresser will be returning on Takeover Tuesday with his review of RICHARD JEWELL. Our review of SANDOW, along with interview segments of writer/director Alexander Cooper, will have the spotlight on Indie Wednesday. Thursday we’ll have the obligatory return of Shane Hyde, as outlined in the One...
2020-01-1900 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 689 - The Two Popes (2019)Hi everyone! Welcome back for our final review of the week. I wasn’t sure what to make of today’s film when I first saw a trailer for it. A comedy about the Catholic Church right now seems like a weird idea, especially given the near constant scandal they continue to struggle with from decades of covering up child abuse. But once I learned that it would be dealing with the scandal directly, and the first of many shakeups to follow, I knew I would have to give it a viewing. And I’m really glad I did...
2020-01-1800 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 688 - Starfish (2018)Hi everyone! It’s Friday, so it’s time for another Fantastic Fest feature. This week, Andrew Campbell returns with a musically-driven, post-apocalyptic film that reminds me a great deal of THE NIGHT EATS THE WORLD (Episode #372), thematically speaking, anyway. Andrew will be up in a moment to give you his thoughts on today’s movie, but for a few recent reviews of his, check out IN FABRIC (Episode #674), 1917 (Episode #675), and THE DEATH OF DICK LONG (Episode #681). He’s got some absolutely crazy pictures coming up over the next couple of months. Before the review, we’ll ha...
2020-01-1700 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 687 - Weathering With You (2019)Hi everyone! It’s a big day here at One Movie Punch! Today we’re welcoming Christina Eldridge to the podcast, with a review for WEATHERING WITH YOU, our first GKIDS distribution review, but certainly not our last. Christina’s a huge fan of Japanese animation, and will be lending her expertise and opinions for monthly reviews here, along with the occasional review in one of her favorite genres, the post-apocalyptic. Look for #DuraraReviews and be sure to follow her on Twitter @durarareviews. We’re excited to have her on board! We’re also excited to feature...
2020-01-1600 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 686 - Noctambulist (2019)Hi everyone! Welcome back to our Indie Wednesday coverage, where we feature microbudget and independent films overlooked by most media outlets. Today’s review will feature 2019’s NOCTAMBULIST, a film by Johnny Daggers. Last year we featured a review of his documentary film BLOOD ON THE REEL (Episode #612), as part of Reign of Terror 2019, but it was clear he was most excited to talk about his latest film. So, over break, I gave it a second viewing, and made sure to place it on the calendar this year to feature this silent noir horror, or noirror, film. I’ll...
2020-01-1500 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 685 - Frozen II (2019)Hi everyone! Welcome back for another Takeover Tuesday! We’re welcoming back the BiCurean podcast to the show for their review of last year’s FROZEN II, which received two Golden Globe nominations, and an untold number of Oscar nominations at the time of recording. Aicila and Erik have been two of our biggest supporters here at One Movie Punch, including their guest review during last year’s Reign of Terror 2019 for IT FOLLOWS (Episode #608), where they also helped me out of one tight spot and into another. Their promo will run before the review. Do you...
2020-01-1400 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 684 - Where'd You Go, Bernadette? (2019)Hi everyone! We’re continuing our Golden Globes coverage this week with today’s review of WHERE’D YOU GO, BERNADETTE? After this month is over, we will have reviewed 30 out of 34 films nominated, including all the winners. We’ll pick up the other four at some point this year, once they’ve hit streaming services. Also, the Oscar nominees will be announced today, so expect a flood of congratulations posts to hit social media for the films we’ve reviewed, and some early February catchup reviews for those we haven’t. That’s why we’re excited to...
2020-01-1300 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 683 - Missing Link (2019)Hi everyone! Welcome back for another week of reviews, and it’s going to be an exciting week here at One Movie Punch. This week we’ll continue our Golden Globes nominee and winner coverage, with four additional reviews. Ryan L. Terry will be back tomorrow with his review of WHERE’D YOU GO, BERNADETTE? BiCurean returns for Takeover Tuesday with their review of FROZEN II. And I’ll be picking up THE TWO POPES this coming Saturday, along with today’s review for surprise winner, MISSING LINK. We’ll also have a review for Johnny Daggers’ NOCTAMBULIST f...
2020-01-1200 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 682 - Uncut Gems (2019)Hi everyone! We’re closing out the week with a doozy. Anyone who likes the Safdie Brothers knows that they can tell a hell of a story, set on the unforgiving streets of New York. In 2017, I took in their last two features, which include HEAVEN KNOWS WHAT, a heartbreaking, gutter noir look at addiction, and GOOD TIME, a pulse-pounding quest around the city starring Robert Pattinson. It was also their first collaboration with Oneohtrix Point Never, aka Daniel Lopatin, one of my favorite musicians. So, I was stupid excited to see today’s film, as long as m...
2020-01-1100 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 681 - The Death of Dick Long (2019)Hi everyone! It’s Friday, so it’s time for another Fantastic Fest feature from Andrew Campbell. He’ll be covering a personal favorite of his from last year today, another excellent feature from A24, but criminally overlooked this year. For a few other recent reviews from Andrew, check out SWEETHEART (Episode #670), IN FABRIC (Episode #674), and 1917 (Episode #675). Before the review, we’ll have a promo from our friends at the Pop Pour Review podcast! Every week, the PPR crew review a film, then craft a cocktail based on the movie. I don’t drink myself, but I know...
2020-01-1000 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 680 - Les Misérables (2019)Hi everyone! Today’s the return of Keith Lyons to the podcast, aka Philly Film Fan, who will continue covering films from the Philadelphia Film Festival here at One Movie Punch. And it just so happens that today’s film not only played at the festival, but was also nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language film. He also covered another Golden Globe nominee recently, ATLANTICS (Episode #669), which you’ll definitely want to check out. For a couple other reviews from Keith, check out I LOST MY BODY (Episode #646) and his guest review during Reign of Ter...
2020-01-0900 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 679 - Eden (2016)Hi everyone! One of the commitments for One Movie Punch in Year Three is to feature more microbudget and independent features. We’ve started to receive screeners from a variety of small independent distributors, featuring a wide variety of films. Every Wednesday, we hope to feature an independent and/or microbudget feature, with up to two interviews per month with the filmmakers when schedules allow. Today’s review will cover Irish filmmaker Robbie Walsh’s EDEN, a microbudget drama looking at homelessness in Dublin after a recent economic crash. And it doesn’t get more microbud...
2020-01-0800 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 678 - Rocketman (2019)Hi everyone! Welcome back for our first Takeover Tuesday episode of 2020, featuring the best pair of con-artist and fraud podcast investigators we know. Today, we’ll be joined by Brandi Fleeks and Sunni Hepburn from the Book of Lies Podcast, who will be reviewing ROCKETMAN as part of our Golden Globes coverage. And while we’re at it, be sure to check out their first Takeover Tuesday episode for THE EVIL DEAD (Episode #555), along with their guest review during Reign of Terror 2019 for 28 DAYS LATER (Episode #624). I still really appreciate their help with the podcast, and for help...
2020-01-0700 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 677 - Judy (2019)Hi everyone! Welcome back for our continuing Golden Globes coverage. By now, the awards have been announced, and everyone is chatting up a storm. Be sure to check out our congratulatory posts for all the winners we’ve reviewed, and the schedule for reviewing the remaining winners, if needed. We covered about seventeen of thirty-four films that were nominated this year. As part of that coverage, we’ll be welcoming back Ryan L. Terry to the podcast, with his first of two reviews this month covering Golden Globe nominees. Today, Ryan will be covering JUDY, but...
2020-01-0600 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 676 - Ford v Ferrari (2019)Hi everyone! Welcome back for our first full week of reviews for 2020. And it’s going to be a very busy week, I can tell you that much. We’re continuing our catchup weeks, reviewing films recently released in theaters, with a special focus on Golden Globe nominees. I’m sure you are all anxiously awaiting the results this evening as much as we are, not to mention the rest of Film Twitter. This week we’ll have the return of two more regular contributors. Ryan L. Terry will be reviewing JUDY tomorrow in place of Matinee Mondays...
2020-01-0500 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 675 - 1917 (2019)Hi everyone! We’re back to close out this abbreviated week, featuring some of the films we caught while on break. We’ll be continuing the next two weeks catching up on Golden Globe and Oscar nominees, which includes today’s bonus review from Andrew Campbell. I’ll admit, I’ve been fascinated by 1917 ever since seeing the behind the scenes video playing during the pre-show at our local theater. I’ve also been a fan of the long-take, especially BIRDMAN OR (THE UNEXPECTED VIRTUE OF IGNORANCE) which I caught in the theater after a particularly dark episode in m...
2020-01-0400 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 674 - In Fabric (2018)Hi everyone! It’s Friday, so that means another Fantastic Fest feature from Andrew Campbell. You’ll get another dose of him tomorrow for his review of 1917 (Episode #675), but today we’ll be looking at a film from very late 2018, which just recently got an independent run in US theaters before hitting VOD. He’s also been wrestling with another virus of some sort, so apologies in advance for his voice. I really appreciate him making the effort to kick off the new year! For a few other recent Fantastic Fest reviews from Andrew, check out THE POOL (Ep...
2020-01-0300 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 673 - Little Women (2019)Hi everyone! Welcome back for another review from our very own One Movie Spouse! She was super busy at the end of last year, especially after assembling the troops to save me during Reign of Terror 2019. But she’s back today with a review of LITTLE WOMEN, Greta Gerwig’s follow up to LADY BIRD (Episode #161), which appears to be further cementing Gerwig as one of the best filmmakers of our time. Be sure to check out my review for LADY BIRD, but also check out a few other recent reviews from Amy, including CAN YOU EVER FORG...
2020-01-0200 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 672 - Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise Of Skywalker (2019)Hi everyone! Happy new year! Welcome back not just for another week, but a whole other year of reviews! Thank you so much for all your support over 2018 and 2019. We’re looking forward to 2020 more than ever before! This abbreviated week, we’ll have today’s review of STAR WARS: EPISODE IX, which will be as forgiving as it can be. We’ll follow that tomorrow with the return of One Movie Spouse with her review of LITTLE WOMEN (Episode #673). And then Andrew Campbell, the man, the myth, the legend, returns with not one, but two reviews: IN FABRI...
2020-01-0100 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 671 - "Pasolini" (2014)Hi everyone! Welcome back for our last review for the year, and... man, sometimes I know how to pick them. If you don’t know who Pier Paolo Pasolini is, definitely go take a gander at his Wikipedia page to get a taste of his filmography, and the many controversies that surround it, in particular for his last provocative film, SALÒ OR THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM. If you do know who Pier Paolo Pasolini is, and you’re wondering if this film is as raunchy and provocative as his filmography, I can assure you and should probably warn...
2019-12-1400 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 670 - "Sweetheart" (2019)Hi everyone! Two more reviews. That’s all that’s left before the break, and today will be Andrew’s second review for the week. He’s ending with a Blumhouse production that’s been undersold this year, despite a lot of great reviews. Andrew’s going to give you his thoughts in a bit, but be sure to check out Andrew’s recent reviews for THE POOL (Episode #656), LITTLE JOE (Episode #663), and MARRIAGE STORY (Episode #668). Something in there for everyone. Especially if you like plants or crocodiles. Before the review, we’ll have a promo from our f...
2019-12-1300 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 669 - "Atlantics" (2019)Hi everyone! We’re just about done for the year, but we couldn’t close out the year without one more review from Keith Lyons. Netflix is just dropping Oscar bait after Oscar bait this month, including today’s film that’s likely to be Senegal’s entry for Best Picture. We’ll definitely let you know if it gets nominated, but the film is definitely well worth seeing if not. For a few other recent reviews from Keith Lyons, check out his reviews for BIRDS OF PASSAGE (Episode #571), SON OF FRANKENSTEIN (Episode #622), and I LOST MY BODY (Episod...
2019-12-1200 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 668 - "Marriage Story" (2019)Hi everyone! We couldn’t let this year close without covering today’s film, because apparently Adam Driver is having the best year of his career. In addition to MARRIAGE STORY, Drive is also appearing in Amazon Studios’ THE REPORT and a smaller, less mainstream film called STAR WARS: EPISODE IX THE RISE OF SKYWALKER. We’ll be reviewing both films after the break in the new year. Of course, I won’t be reviewing today’s film, because Andrew Campbell is sneaking in today to give us his thoughts. He actually got a screener with a ridiculous a...
2019-12-1100 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 667 - "Young Frankenstein" (1974)Hi everyone! Welcome back for our last Takeover Tuesday for this year! We’re super excited to have the Friends N Flayers podcast guesting today, for YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, the classic film from Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder. You can find them on Twitter @FriendsNFlayers and can subscribe to their podcast on all major platforms. A promo will run before the review. I’ve been noticing a lot of great films that came out in 1974 which we’ve reviewed, including THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE (Episode #035), THE CONVERSATION (Episode #091), CHINATOWN (Episode #271), and most recently, Jon-David’s guest review for Take...
2019-12-1000 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 666 - "Queen and Slim" (2019)Hi everyone! Welcome back to Matinee Monday. Today’s film is not for the faint of heart, nor for anyone who enjoys a feel good story. I actually left the theatre struggling with a lot of themes, which makes it a great film for conversation, but is that the same thing as a great film? I’ll let you know about that, and the double standards for films featuring black lives, in just a minute. However, for a few other films related to today’s film, check out our review for MOONLIGHT (Episode #406), which QUEEN & SLIM borrows heavil...

2019-12-0700 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 663 - "Little Joe" (2019)Hi everyone! It’s Friday, so we’re back with another Fantastic Fest review from Andrew Campbell. Today’s review I thought wasn’t going to make it, and I was getting really frustrated with him, but then someone sent me this awesome houseplant and now it’s fine, and I’m fine, and everything’s fine. You know what else is fine? Andrew’s previous reviews, which include THE POOL (Episode #656), critical darling DOLEMITE IS MY NAME (Episode #649), and ensemble film extraordinaire KNIVES OUT (Episode #652). I wonder who sent this flower? Oh! I guess you’ll want to check out...

I was lucky to connect with him recently to discuss today’s film, and I feel privileged to review the film for all of you.

2019-12-0200 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 658 - "The Irishman" (2019)Hi everyone! Welcome back for another week of reviews. We’ve got two more weeks left of reviews for we break for the end of the year. The Oscar race is heating up in theaters nationwide, with multiple top-quality films in theaters, including today’s film until it appeared on Netflix just before Thanksgiving, which makes it perfect for Streaming Sundays. I waited until it hit Netflix to see it, and I’ll tell you why in a minute, but for a couple other films related today’s film, check out our review for SILENCE (Episode #061) for another...

2019-11-3000 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 656 - "The Pool" (2018)Hi everyone! It’s Friday, so Andrew’s back with another Fantastic Fest feature, the best crocodile movie you’ll see this year. Now, I know what you’re thinking: What about CRAWL (Episode #563)? See, that’s an alligator film, and you can tell from the snout, but that’s not really why you’re here, is it? For a few other films from Andrew, however, check out his recent reviews for KNIVES OUT (Episode #652), DOLEMITE IS MY NAME (Episode #649), and FRACTURED (Episode #642).

2019-11-2800 minOne Movie PunchEpisode 654 - "Rust Creek" (2018)Hi everyone! Against my better judgment, we’re welcoming back Shane Hyde to the podcast for another horror movie review, this time hopefully one he enjoys a bit more. After last week’s review for “Nightmare Cinema”, I’m sort of surprised he came back for more. For a few other reviews from Shane, check out “Nightmare Cinema” (Episode #647), “Starship Troopers” (Episode #447), and his incredible narration duties as part of Reign of Terror 2019.
