December 5th, 2008. Lionsgate Studios released the ultra-violent Marvel Comics adaptation, Punisher: Warzone, into an oversaturated holiday market. Placing the hyper violent tale of Frank Castle and his every growing vengeance-based vigilante pursuit of justice in the whimsical holiday season of December was one of the many bizarre choices from the studio that brought hyper gory horror films Saw and Hostel to light. Released before Marvel had a cinematic stranglehold on movie theaters, Punisher: Warzone was tossed into a sea of Disney family films and future Oscar contenders, never truly standing a chance at catching a crowd.
On this long awaited episode of BOMBED! , the Foul House Mates reunite as Dan Caprio (@dancaprio on IG) joins Liam in discussing the most surreal MCU film ever made. We talk Lionsgate's creative control, grindhouse levels of gore, meth head parkour rasta gangs, MRE consumption, weird speeches from the evil police guard from The Green Mile, over-Italian accents and much much more.
