Episode 11 - Big Trouble In Little China
(48 downloads)Download this episode (67 min)
In the last genre film for a while we look at John Carpenter's 1986 comedy actioner. Unlike last weeks combative discussion, it's a bit of a love-in. We also take in an overview of JC's oeuvre,defend Speed Racer (against our better judgement) and Paul gives his views on Indiana Jones And the Etc, Etc.
It's agreement-tastic.

In stark contrast to last episode, it’s a monster movie double feature this week as we take a look at two ‘90’s ‘mini-classics’; ‘Lake Placid’ and ‘Tremors’
Mike gives his verdict on ‘Indiana Jones and The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull’ and we wrap up with a token attempt at thematic cohesion by looking at a few of our fave monster flicks.

Sunday, Aug 03, 2008Episode 9 - 'Blue Velvet'
(40 downloads)Download this episode (55 min)
Oh dear. It’s a ‘damn fine’ smack down as one of the chaps declares his undying love for David Lynch’s ‘Blue Velvet’ and the other deems it a travesty. Can you guess which one is which?
In our most divisive hour so far (yes, we are including ‘In The Mood For Love’ when we say that) the 1986 bizzarro noir is looked at, as are a few flicks that the guys have caught recently such as a pig-nosed rom-com and some manifestly extreme French horror.

Saturday, Aug 02, 2008Episode 8 - 'se7en'
(55 downloads)Download this episode (105 min)
It’s happy time!!
Paul and Mike revisit David Fincher’s ray of sunshine ‘Seven’ (or is that ‘Se7en?. No, because that’s just silly) for the first time since they saw it in ’95.
Does Brad Pitt overact? Why does Kevin Spacy always speak in a weird slow voice? And has Morgan Freeman become typecast?
This is a long one, but here it be nonetheless.
Other subjects covered include; Paul’s moral outrage at the levels marketing companies will sink to. Mike muses over pointless sequels and re-imaginings and a semantic argument ensues over what constitutes ‘violence’ in films.

The chaps have a look at the late '90's TV to film translation of the all singing, all dancing, all offending, all uncle f@#king South Park.
Trying to resist the urge to descend into endless quotage, Paul and Mike take the film apart and put it back together again.
We also talk about Paramount's underwhelming foray into Blu Ray.

In the second of this week’s eps it’s Paul’s pick, as we bring you a look at Alex Proyas’ 2004 Sci Fi actioner ‘I, Robot’
Is it a meditation on the place of technology in everyday life, and our our over-reliance on it is sapping us of our humanity? Or is it just Big Willie Style© dumbass fest with more than a passing visual resemblance to ‘Minority Report’ and offensive levels of product placement?
Or is it neither?
These questions will be probed, inspected and often avoided completely.
And in an attempt at thematic cohesion we take a look at how technology has changed the way we view films.

My Profile
chinstrokervspunter
Join Mike and Paul (aka Chin Stroker & Punter) as they discuss a film a week from their own differing point of view.
Mike is an ex film student.
Paul is a punter.
Sit back in fascinated horror as they discuss filmic issues as varied as justifying an appreciation of David Lynch, and the merits of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s comedy acting chops.
Along the way we will be covering; world cinema, art films, why we love the 1980’s even though they sucked, straight to video/DVD, and all manner of topics that show what happens when high and low brow collide.
Also expect random cult movie, genre, and other pop cultural goodness.
