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...2020-09-0200 min
One 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 731 - Marianne and Leonard: Words of Love (2019)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. 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 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.

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.

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 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 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 661 - "Zéro M2" (2015)Hi everyone! Welcome back for another review. Today, I’ll be reviewing ZÉRO M2 (2015), an incredible short film from Matthieu Landour Engel, multimedia artist and friend of the podcast. I’ve been conversing with Mat off and on since the podcast started, first about his Instagram comics, now for his excellent short film. 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.
