Punch-Drunk Love : A rom-com about Pudding

This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas explore the broken bellows of the harmonium that is a 90 minute Paul Thomas Anderson rom-com(?)...

It's Week 6 of our #AndersonvsAnderson arc and we're talking Paul Thomas Anderson's 2002 pudding-filled romantic comedy-drama PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE, starring the at-the-time questionable choice of a pre-Uncut Gems Adam Sandler in the lead role, as well as Emily Watson and Philip Seymour Hoffman, all set to the insanely good score by Jon Brion.

How does Paul Thomas Anderson's daring choice of lead actor hold up in his fourth feature? And is this film a strange retelling of the Superman story? Tune in to find out all this and more, including our Adam Sandler in serious roles rankings...
