The Punch Drunk Podcast Episode #29: Funny People, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

Amidst all the screw ups there's a show in there somewhere...

John and Trav dissect Judd Apatow's latest, FUNNY PEOPLE, and try to figure out why it got killed on stage so badly. Is it really as bad as the box office would indicate?

-Noted horror aficianado Trav spends a few minutes with THE COLLECTOR and just might have found a new kindred spirit.

-Turbulence or Executive Decision? Let the arguing begin.

-What is the Unofficial Sequel Company and how can we shut them down?

-News on Disney's epic fail in not hiring John and Trav as the new hosts of At the Movies. Plus, Robert Rodriguez's Machete reels in an all-star cast; the Green Hornet's search for Kato is finally complete; and apparently Taylor Rain and her boobies to star in a remake of Enter the Dragon? Huh?

-John and Trav end the show getting all patriotic and stuff during their review of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Is it the best of the 80s nostalgia wave hitting Hollywood right now? Or is it just another Trouble Bubble™ set to burst?
