Punch It 20 - That's It?

Some of our least favorite movie endings and how we would punch them up We've all been there where we see a movie and it's going great and you get to the end and it just dies hard. Sometimes the credits roll and you hear yourself say out loud, "That's it!?" On this week's Punch It, we discuss that very occasion. We talk about all types of movies from those with muppets to movies with demons, suicide, and sex. Bad endings aren't just in one genre but across the board. What movie endings make you go crazy?

Which Trek dad would you like to have taken you to a ballgame? Or have an adventure with? Which Trek dads would take part in the local Starfleet branch of a dad's group, and what would they talk about? And does Captain Jellico being a loving granddad make up for his being an ornery captain? Let us know your favorite Trek dad!

Wing of King Arthur - 150 - Excalibur

"Excalibur" is a mixed bag, a film that combines visual splendor with uneven performances and a somewhat inconsistent tone. While it may not be a flawless masterpiece, it remains a must-see for fans of Arthurian legend and epic fantasy. Its timeless appeal and influence on the genre make it a classic worth experiencing, flaws and all. Whether you're drawn to the mysticism of Merlin or the heroic journey of Arthur, "Excalibur" has something to offer any lover of fantasy cinema.

The Husbands of Moll Flanders

Alex Kingston is Moll Flanders! Our favorite Whovian actors have a wide filmography - so we look into one of our favorites, River Song herself, in a 1996 mini-series, "The Fortunes and Misfortunes of Moll Flanders." Alex Kingston plays the titular role, based on the Daniel Defoe novel, as she seeks to be a "gentlewoman" in a society that pushes back against women. The four episodes span a wide assortment of romances and adventures (and children!) that leave their mark on Alex's performance. In our look into the TARDIS library, the couple examine the Academy Award-winning short film written and directed by the 12th Doctor, Peter Capaldi, "Franz Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life."
