Episode 49: Punch-Drunk Love

What do you get when you mix novelty plungers, pudding, and an anxious romance? Well, we here at Nightcaps at Theater, can only assume it’s something that looks and feels like Paul Thomas Anderson’s Punch-Drunk Love (2002). Don’t worry about calling into a phone-sex line for intimacy/connection, we’ve got you covered there. Love can be as awkward as oppressive siblings, or as spontaneous as a Harmonia, dumped on the side of the street. We want to chew on your cheeks and scoop out your eyes in a loving way. Don’t renew your gym membership, skip the crumby party with the siblings and let’s go get dinner instead. Maybe later we can listen to Shelly Duvall croon a tune, underneath the moon? No need to save up your frequent flyer miles, you can listen to us on Podbean, iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, etc. instead. Stop selling “Fungers” and start hoarding those Healthy Choice ™ snacks.
