All this and all the news worth talking about! Oh...don't think we forgot Game of Thrones, with tonight's finale there's sure to be plenty to talk about regarding Westeros!

Sci-fi action and tear jerking love stories on this weeks episode of the Punch Drunk Podcast when we venture into exo-skeletons and rebirth in Edge of Tomorrow. Then it's onto young love with a heartbreaking twist as we review Shailene Woodley's latest, The Fault in our Stars. You didn't think we'd go an episode without talking about Game of Thrones, did you? Especially not after last week's landmark episode The Viper and The Mountain. Well go deep into what stands to be the most shocking episode of this season. 

Memorial Day weekend is here! We are already well into the Summer movie season but this week brings one of the most highly anticipated films of the summer is here with X-Men: Days of Future Past! After stumbling with X3 the XMen franchise rebounded big time with X-Men: First Class, can it continue to gain steam with DoFP?Also on the slate, Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore's new film Blended, and Cold in July starring Micheal C. Hall. Don't miss it!

GODZILLA!!! It's finally here, the biggest (at least based on size) film of the summer has hit and we're here to tell you if the icon regains his crown as kind of the monsters or instead gets a giant dunce cap. We'll also be covering the feel good film Million Dollar Arm. In the world of TV we once again head to Westeros to talk about the landmark last episode of Game of Thrones where Tyrion sits for his "trial" for the death of King Joffery! It's going to be one for the ages so make sure not to miss it!

This week we cover one of my most highly anticipated comedies of the year, Seth Rogen and Zack Efron in Neighbors. Then it's on to something we've unfortunatley had to neglect this year while we travel to Westeros and talk some Game of Thrones. Julian's seen the animated Legend of Oz: Dorothy's Return, we'll see if it lives up to the iconic name of Oz or if it shouldv'e been left on the cutting room.  All this and more, this week on the Punch Drunk Podcast!

It's the calm before the storm this week on the Punch Drunk Podcast! With summer movie season mere weeks away and Captain America two weeks past we get to talk about some smaller films that can satiate your cinematic needs until Spider-Man hits, namely the romantic comedy The Other Woman starring Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton...oh I can't forget about Jamie Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) who plays the man these three are fighting with/over. Then it's on to an American remake of an amazing french action film with Brick Mansions starring Paul Walker and Rza. 

It's Easter Sunday and instead of sending you a basket full of jelly beans and chocolates we're bringing you reviews of this weekend's releases! Transcendence, the directorial debut of Wally Phister, famed cinematographer best known for his work with Christopher Nolan, helms the tale of A.I. gone terribly wrong with Johnny Depp and Rebecca Hall. Then it's a trip to A Haunted House 2 the follow up to Marlon Wayan's suprisingly funny parody of Paranormal Activity type movies. Let's be honest though, the real focus of today's show is going to be centered in King's Landing as we attempt to make sense of the now epic 'Purple Wedding', morale of the story: Regretfully decline any wedding invites sent from the seven kingdoms. 

I honestly can't recall a show where we had three subjects on which we could devote a single show to entirely, this is that week. Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Raid 2, and the premier of Game of Thrones season 4 are all on the docket...three things that the PDC are equally rabid about! I don't know how we're going to fit this into 90 minutes but we're damn sure going to try!

Some weeks we have three movies that are very similar, this is not one of those weeks. First up is the biblical epic Noah starring Russell Crowe, then onto Ahhnold's return to his wheelhouse as a door busting DEA agent in Sabotage, finally we'll be tackling  Jason Bateman's directorial debut with the hilarious Bad Words. Don't forget the season finale of The Walking Dead is tonight so we'll be sure to get you up to speed!

But we will go into some recap of last weeks Golden Globes and the Critic's Choice Awards, of which our own Travis Hopson is a voting member. Then it's on to Ride Along, starring Kevin Hart and Ice Cube, which is this year's early favorite for what I think should be a new category at next year's Oscars, Best Buddy Cop Comedy.
