Punch-Drunk Love: Anxiety, Affection, & 12,150 Pudding Cups — with Tristan & Morgan

On this episode of Reel Love, Ronnie K. & Sidekick J. dive into Paul Thomas Anderson’s Punch-Drunk Love—a film that turns rage, romance, and pudding into something strangely beautiful. They’re joined by real-life couple Tristan Wheeler & Morgan Bocknek to unpack one of the most chaotic love stories ever put on screen. It’s got harmoniums, phone scams, and Adam Sandler at his best.

Featuring:

Ronnie K. – Film producer, psychotherapist in training, & host of Reel Love

J. – 🤫 Ronnie K.’s trusty sidekick

Tristan Wheeler – Toronto filmmaker whose upcoming feature, Toronto Apartment, is set to release in 2025. His short film, I’m Sorry Cody, screened before the premiere of J.’s feature film, Ghost Camera, in 2024.
