Advertise on podcast: 2nd Chance Cinema Club

Send us a text We are bursting at the seams with news this week, with plenty going on to sink our teeth into. We do pause and mark the passing of the Prince of Darkness, however. The movie under review for this episode is 2011's Paul, starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. But not, as Steff makes very clear, directed by Edgar Wright. Can he make peace with Greg Mottola at the helm, long enough to give an unbiased opinion? Certainly not! It's another mixed bag for Last Chance Cinema this week, as the boys review the latest batch of departees from Prime. But the biggest news is Hutch's bombshell that the podcast is going on holiday for four weeks, and it may not return looking entirely the same...

Send us a text Star Wars updates abound this week as we cover the news that Papa George is attending his first ever Comic Con, and you too can own a slice of prop history (for the right coin). There’s also news on the latest instalments in the Mortal Kombat and Tron franchises. Then it’s onto our main event, a review of Keanu resurrection vehicle John Wick. Plenty of bang for your buck guaranteed, but is it a case of style over substance? It’s time for Last Chance Cinema Club after that, with six movies in the offering this time, before Hutch selects next week’s movie pick.

Send us a text Another sad passing to mark this week, as we salute the Admiral Piett actor for the final time. We then roundup all the TV we have and have not been watching lately. Plus there's a couple of stories about water, for... reasons. Following that is our main event, and this week we are reviewing 1999's End of Days. Schwarzenegger vs The Devil! What's not to love? Well, a few things apparently. The episode concludes with our Last Chance Cinema Club section, before Steff picks next week's movie from the two options Hutch presents him.

Send us a text The boys are back from holiday and can now regale us of their Croatian odyssey. In short, Hutch was mainly sat by the pool, but at least Steff took some culture in. It’s also a bumper news week, as we discuss a couple of remakes of “beloved” movies and a new entry in a classic franchise. We also mark the sad passing of actor Michael Madsen. It’s 2021’s Swan Song being reviewed this week, and after Steff figured out the right movie to watch, discussion can begin. Is it light on the sci-fi? Yes. But is it light on the thrills? Also yes. But there’s lots to enjoy as well. We round off the week with our usual trip down Last Chance Cinema lane, before finishing with a jaunt along Picking Next Week’s Film To Review avenue.

Send us a text Spielberg's shark based magnum opus is the subject of some therapy for our intrepid duo this week, as we cover the news that Jaws turns 50 years old. This week's movie is 2012's DREDD. Certainly not to be confused with 1995's JUDGE DREDD, which we will barely be mentioning... There's also a sophisticated chat around the latest movies to leave Prime this week; in our Last Chance Cinema section, before Steff selects one of Hutch's submissions for next week's review.

Send us a text The boys have gone all trendy and modern this week, reviewing a cartoon movie that came out five minutes ago. It’s opened Hutch up to a whole new world, but Steff’s gammy eyes are stopping him from truly enjoying it. But before that, there’s a bumper news section to get through, with plenty to talk about.  Highlights are a rough version of Star Wars; heavy metal gigs; video games, and the big one- it’s the sequel we thought we’d never see… Rounding things off, there’s our usual Last Chance Cinema section, and the picking of next week’s film for review.

Send us a text From R rated content last time, to (sort of) X rated this week- Steff tells us all about his "entirely-for-research" visit to the burlesque Star Wars parody show currently touring the country. To come down off all that excitement, we review 2009's Terminator Salvation. The franchise comprises of some excellent films (the first and second ones) and some real robo turds (everything else). But where abouts does this one sit in the oeuvre? Elsewhere, there's some scratching around for films leaving Prime soon, in Last Chance Cinema Club, and Hutch goes all modern and cartoony for next week's movie review pick.

Send us a text It’s Christopher Nolan’s palindromic reverse-athon “Tenet” under the review microscope this week. Perversely, the boys may not actually know what they are talking about for once. But before we get into that, there’s some Star Wars news to be had, which gives Hutch another excuse to talk about Andor, and more R rated content. Steff takes us through a frankly spartan Last Chance Cinema Club section, before giving Hutch his customary two choices for next week’s episode. You can contact us at: [email protected] We can be found on: Instagram - @2ndchancecinemaclub

Send us a text Just when you thought it was over, the boys produce another fine helping of scintillating Andor conversation. This time covering the series as a whole and answering the big question- was it as good as the first one? There's also some other Star Wars news, as we kick around ideas for an 18 certificate Star Wars movie.  Then it’s finally time to return to the actual topic of the podcast- reviewing overlooked/underappreciated/incomprehensible movies. This week the spotlight falls upon 80’s nonsense The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (yes that’s really the name). Has Steff’s curiosity turned up a diamond in the rough? Or just…more roughness? Hutch thinks he knows… Elsewhere, there’s a roundup of films exiting Prime in Last Chance Cinema Club, and next week’s film is selected with the usual pomp and circumstance.

Send us a text All too soon, we have reached the end of the latest Star Wars series. This week we deep dive into the final three episodes of Andor season 2. It's been a grand showing so far- but does it finish strong, or does it drop the ball? Steff manages to tear Hutch away from talking about it for five minutes, to do some Last Chance Cinema Club goodness. Next week we will review the series as a whole and discuss it in the wider galactic context. We also return to our show's actual topic, and watch a movie to talk about.

Send us a text We are rapidly racing towards the business end of the latest Star Wars series, and things are getting very real, very quickly! Betrayal seems to be a common theme amongst the various factions, and we are starting to see pieces of a Rogue One shaped puzzle falling into place. Also, some cat person talks about sad soup, or something. See what the guys think of the story till now and hear their speculations on the final three episodes to come, by tuning in immediately. There are also some heavy hitters in the film world going AWOL in the next week, as we round up the latest in Last Chance Cinema Club.

Send us a text It’s another film-less review week on the show, but with good reason, as we continue our in depth look at the latest three episodes of Andor to drop onto Disney+. The slow burn theme seems to be continuing, but can the series pick up the pace as we hurtle towards the halfway mark? In a bid to actually discuss some films on our movie based podcast, we talk about the latest batch of titles to be expunged from Prime, in our Last Chance Cinema Club section. You can contact us at: [email protected] We can be found on: Instagram - @2ndchancecinemaclub

Send us a text It’s finally here! Andor Season 2 has dropped at last, so this week we dedicate a big chunk of time to discussing the first three episodes in detail. Will it live up to Hutch’s insanely high expectations? Or is it mere Bantha fodder? Tune in to find out. But that’s not all. In a week chokka with Star Wars goodness, we also cover the main announcements and learnings from Star Wars Celebration 2025 in Tokyo. It's almost forgotten in all the excitement, but Steff rounds us off with the latest Prime casualties, in his Last Chance Cinema segment. You can contact us at: [email protected] We can be found on: Instagram - @2ndchancecinemaclub

Send us a text One week to go until Andor season 2 hits our screens! But until then, there's business to attend to. In news this week, there's excitement for a double helping of Star Wars back on the silver screen, Hutch tells us all about a new Sheffield based revenge thriller, and we pay brief tribute to the sad passing of actor Val Kilmer. In Second Chance Cinema Club, we review 1995's dystopic time travel "romp", Terry Gilliam's 12 Monkeys. There are literally no jokes to be made here. Steff rounds off this episode with another stellar Last Chance Cinema selection. Catch em while you can! You can contact us at: [email protected] We can be found on: Instagram - @2ndchancecinemaclub

Send us a text After a week off, we catch up with what the lad's have been up to. Hutch has been on a holiday, which if we were to sum up alliteratively would be: Belgian boats and brilliant books. Meanwhile, Steff has been enjoying some new, closer to home gangster content. Our 2nd Chance Cinema Club review this week is M. Night Shyamalan's 2008 magnum opus- The Happening. We spend the movie trying to guess the customary big twist. How do you think that panned out? Tune in and see...
