2nd Chance Cinema Club

Send us Fan Mail Some social media backtracking required this week, as serious bombshells are dropped in the newest offering. It's an action packed episode that needs lots of digging into. So we can't afford distractions like how much text messages used to cost, Queensbury Rules, and coining excellent new terms like "Slicey McDroid Pip Face" We also discuss the state of parody...

Send us Fan Mail We are already halfway through the latest Disney+ offering and things are moving quickly in this newest of Star Wars series. We dissect Episode 4 in detail with our usual panache and flair. It's gone down well, but it's not without its problems. This episode was recorded live together in our friend's kitchen, so please enjoy the wider soundscape this week! We are of...

Send us Fan Mail We are now three eighths deep into the new Star Wars show and this week we review the most recent episode, as well as giving our thoughts on the series to date. The rest of the internet seems to be split between either screaming in outrage at what we've seen, or welcoming new concepts to our beloved universe. Which side will the AITSP boys come down on? Tune in to find out......

Send us Fan Mail Execute Episode 66... Live action Star Wars is back as The Acolyte is finally here! We deep dive into the first two episodes of the latest series to hit Disney+. Namely Episode 1: Lost/Found and Episode 2: Revenge/Justice. The boys are their usual reserved, objective selves, very much keeping their opinions quiet and personal. You won't find any petty moans about droids, hair...

Send us Fan Mail The boys have been busy this week. Hutch had a soggy old time in a field and watched old Steven Seagal movies, whilst Steff killed zombies with his son and watched something questionable in a dark room full of strangers. In the news we find out what NBA stars spend their first paychecks on, who we can expect to see acting with dinosaurs, and whether we will ever get to actually bl...

Send us Fan Mail It's been a quiet week for the boys, Steff endured rugby disappointment and Hutch watched an Adam Driver movie (£100 says you don't guess which one...) and that's about it! Thankfully, in news there's lots to get excited about, with X-Men finally joining the Disney fold, and original Sci-Fi movies to look forward to. In 2nd Chance Cinema Club, we discuss 1987&a...

Send us Fan Mail The man best known as Baron Papanoida became an octogenarian this week and we lament how much more he accomplished in the first half of his life than we have in all of ours (YET). In other news, Hutch tears up trees with his bare hands to save a few quid, whilst Steff is vaguely annoyed that Eric Clapton didn't play his favourite song. We also discuss the merits of modern bla...

Send us Fan Mail Steff has been intimidating school children this week. Hutch, thankfully has not. The boys have suffered through The Phantom Menace though, in honour of its 25th anniversary and they also discuss The Acolyte preview and the first couple of episodes of Tales of the Empire. In 2nd Chance Cinema Club, the boys review 1997's Starship Troopers. Or rather, Hutch can't get a wo...

Send us Fan Mail It's Star Wars Day this week and the boys are celebrating by maybe, possibly going to see The Phantom Menace in the cinema (if they can be bothered). In the news, we hear about some upcoming TV and movies, but we mainly focus on what we would do if we had Chris Hemsworth's body for a couple of weeks... In 2nd Chance Cinema Club, after willfully ignoring the call to watch...

Send us Fan Mail It's episode 60 and Steff has finally watched an important piece of cinema this week, but sadly not the film he was supposed to see (sorry). We have lots of news items to discuss, with several classic movies coming back into the cinema this summer. Meanwhile, Hutch fantasizes about Japanese Star Wars merch, and bizarrely calls out the dishonorable members of his Wordle WhatsA...

Send us Fan Mail We revel in the 1950s this week, as Steff brings us up to date with his adventures in a gory wasteland and (somehow) a Shakespeare play. Otherwise, Hutch has done sod all! In news, there's lots of video game chat. It's a Star Wars clean sweep at the BAFTAS; we discuss real vs virtual cleaning, and Steff tells us about his spamel. Elsewhere, there's an ashes update a...

Send us Fan Mail The boys have been busy this week doing all sorts. Hutch has been swanning about the West End watching grim plays about up north, whilst Steff has been living his best life at Reading Comic Con, The Bootleg Beatles and, errr… Maidenhead United. There’s plenty going on news wise, with a shocking box office revelation, some video game updates and, for a change, Hutch fangirling over...

Send us Fan Mail New Star Wars alert! Exciting news as a trailer dropped today for original animated series Tales of the Empire. So we talk all about that, along with a roundup of all the other sci-fi news that's fit to print. We also hear about how Steff spent his Easter (clue: watching movies and eating chocolate), and how Hutch has an unlikely new favourite album. In 2nd Chance Cinema Club...

Send us Fan Mail The boys do their damndest to not talk about Star Wars this week, instead discussing topics as diverse as Rugby, Captain Kirk, and the pronunciations of Chinese authors/Canadian directors. There's also the usual roundup of science fiction news and meanwhile, in 2nd Chance Cinema Club, Steff takes us on a forgettable Mission to Mars, whilst Hutch teases us on the edge of his h...

Send us Fan Mail Mae the Force be with you! The first trailer for new Star Wars show The Acolyte dropped this week, so the boys dissect it with their usual clinical precision. Elsewhere, there's discussion on the latest movie trailers, way too much Star Trek chat, and why you shouldn't be worried if the boys tell you they've had a touch... In Second Chance Cinema Club, Steff reviews...

Send us Fan Mail It’s First Chance Cinema Club this Week, so climb aboard your nearest Grandmother worm and join us on a spice induced journey through our detailed review of Dune: Part Two. WARNING : These spoilers are more potent than the Water of Life! There’s also topical discussions on subwoofers; sequels nobody asked for,  and where to see a dead rock star’s ashes this summer. Next week sees...

Send us Fan Mail Here at AITSP we like to think we provide much value to our faithful audience: In depth coverage of your favourite movies; the latest news from around the galaxy, and even recommendations on the arts. This week our services are again called into action, as one of our listeners has bought a new TV, and wants us to let him know what he should be watching on it first. So we tell him....

Send us Fan Mail 12 whole months have passed since an alcohol fueled conversation sparked the launch of the galaxy's greatest podcast. Steff and Hutch replay some of their favorite, and not so favorite, moments from year one of Alone in the South Passage. The Second Chance Cinema Club is a group activity this week with both of the boys watching the 2012 blockbuster John Carter. Will they be a...

Send us Fan Mail Hutch has finally popped his Disneyland cherry and this week he tells us all about his Parisian adventures at the house of mouse. Meanwhile in Second Chance Cinema Club, Steff reviews Brad Pitt space flick Ad Astra, and Hutch finds it incredibly easy to say lots of really positive things about 80's Sci-Fi erotica Star Slammer. Watching some of these films is playing merry hel...

Send us Fan Mail This week Hutch is knackered due to his all night American Hand Egg party, and Steff is numb from watching a space cat sleeping for two hours.  But like the pros they are, the boys battle through their pancake induced food comas to deliver another slice of sci-fi goodness for you all. Star Wars content is a little thin on the ground at the moment, so we have launched our Second Ch...

Send us Fan Mail This week we hear all about how Steff's birthday went, including his original originals viewing marathon. Hutch dazzles with his videogame knowledge, and tells us more about NFL recruitment than we ever wanted to know. This episode sees the kick off of a brand new segment whereby the boys pick terrible movies for each other to watch each week, with the proviso that they have...

Send us Fan Mail This week we dive into Gareth Edwards' new movie "The Creator". Is it as good as Rogue One? No, clearly not. But we give it a damn good going over, nonetheless. We also discuss the lengths people will go to get Doom running on more and more obscure hardware, and how Hutch is the latest victim to succumb to a viral TV show. You can contact us at: 2ndchancecinemaclub@...

Send us Fan Mail We beat Disney to the punch this week by talking hypotheticals, in our own version of 'Star Wars What If...?' Like bored Gods, Steff and Hutch pick two small changes each to make to the sacred timeline, and then discuss the possible ramifications of their meddling. Sliding doors and lovely little butterfly effects abound, as the enormous consequences play out for your am...

Send us Fan Mail It's the 4000th of January and the boys finally get around to doing their 2023 retrospective. Was it a good year for Star Wars? Yes obviously, it's the year the galaxy's greatest sci-fi podcast started! But apparently one or two other things happened as well. So we talk about them. The term vintage is sometimes bandied about too often, but in this case we can defini...

Send us Fan Mail HAPPY NEW YEAR! We kick off 2024 in style, with a roundup of the latest and greatest news in the world of science fiction. Steff takes us through the various Star Wars shows due to hit our TVs this year, and Hutch discusses the future projects going into production in 2024, including the hot off the press announcement of a brand new Star Wars movie: The Mandalorian & Grogu! We...
