On Second Watch episodes

  • Season 2 Intro + "Relegated to Hooking Out Tuna"

    Welcome to Season 2! Finally, we've settled on a format that works best and brings the most popular content to you, our awesome listeners.

    We're shifting away from reviewing films and keeping the hilarious and often times offensive Plot Summary Mad Libs as our main entree. If you are not familiar with this segment or need a refresher, we take the plot of a film and rewrite it using nouns, adjectives, verbs, and other parts of speech. There's a 92.3% chance that Tim will be laugh-crying while attempting to read the plot back to everyone, and that is backed by science.

    You'll hear the familiar voices of the On Second Watch hosts, as well as special guests. 

    If there is a movie you want us to bastardize with a Plot Summary Mad Libs, you can make a request on our Ko-fi page.

  • Pacific Rim (2013)

    Sometimes you just want to shut your brain off and watch giant robots beat the crap out of monsters. You kinda get that in 2013's American science fiction monster film, Pacific Rim.

    Story by Travis Beacham, who co-wrote the screenplay with Director and producer Guillermo del Toro. Starring Charlie Hunnam as Raleigh Becket, Idris Elba as Marshal Stacker Pentecost, Rinko Kikuchi as Mako Mori, Charlie Day as Dr. Newton Geiszler, Ron Pearlman as Hannibal Chau, and many more

    When we spun the wheel on the category Creature Features and landed on Pacific Rim, our average nostalgia score came out to a 6.7

    If you haven't heard, we're going to come back in 2023 with a new format to decide once and for all who has it right: The People or The Tomato? We're comparing the ratings on Rotten Tomatoes from both the critics and the average movie goer to argue who is more accurate. More details to come!

  • When the Screaming Starts (2021)

    Now available across North America and the UK, take a stab at 2021's British black comedy horror mockumentary, When the Screaming Starts.

    Inspired by the modern day obsession with serial killers and true-crime documentaries, WHEN THE SCREAMING STARTS turns this popular sub-genre on its head, whilst questioning the contemporary fascination with serial slaughter. This fresh, new mockumentary examines the dark subject matter through a comedic lens, resulting in a pitch-black horror-comedy that will have you "laughing and wincing in equal measure"

    Directed by Conor Boru, who co-wrote the screenplay with Ed Hartland, who are both producers of this film alongside Jared Rogers and Dom Lenoir, Cinematographer Adrian Musto, Editor Alan Rae, Sound by Paul Caton, and Composer Michael Palmer. Starring Ed Hartland, Jared Rogers, Kaitlin Reynell, Octavia Gilmore, Yasen Atour, Kavé Niku, Ronja Haugholt, Vår Haugholt. Now back to the On Second Watch crew

    Special thanks to Jared and the whole WTSS crew for letting us preview this film! Go check it out today

  • Hook (1991)

    It's time to get Bangerang and rewatch 1991's American adventure film, Hook

    Based on the novel Peter and Wendy by J. M. Barrie. Screenplay by Jim V Hart, and Directed by the great Steven Spielberg. Starring a powerhouse cast of the great Robin Williams as Peter Pan, Dustin Hoffman as Captain Hook, Julia Roberts as Tinker Bell, Super Mario himself Bob Hoskins, Maggie Smith as Granny Wendy, and like 100 cameos

    With a budget of $70mil, it made $300mil in the box office. Currently an 6.8 on IMDb

    This movie was not chosen by a spin the wheel, rather by a special request from a huge movie buff and fan of the show, Nicole Marie Loftus. She reached out to me in October of last year with a huge list of movies she'd love for us to review, but the one that really hit me right in the nostalgia was Hook. So after almost a year, Nicole, this one is for you

    • The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)

      Nothing says horror movie like a good old fashioned legal drama! *Dun Dun* Join us as we review 2005's American supernatural horror legal drama film, The Exorcism of Emily Rose. This film won our "Spin the Wheel" event for Based on a True Story, in which this film barely counts as a true story...


      We recorded this one LIVE and in person for the first time in 2 years, and has the same sound quality as we did 2 years ago due to technical difficulties. Regardless, we have some fun with Plot Summary MadLibs, where one of is plays the priest.


      The screenplay was written by director Scott Derrickson and Paul Harris Boardman. Starring Laura Linney as Erin Bruner, Tom Wilkinson as Father Richard Moore, Jennifer Carpenter as Emily Rose.


      With a budget of $19mil, it made $145mil in the box office. Currently an 6.7 on IMDb.
