Second Take Cinema

After covering the birth of the DCEU a few weeks ago, in this episode Jamie and Rory revisit the movie that kicked off the MCU; 2008's Iron Man.

In this episode of Second Take Cinema, it's time to put one of Jamie's all time favourite movies under the microscope as we take a look at Sam Raimi's Army Of Darkness.

The boys are back with a controversial take this week as they take on seminal biker movie and cultural icon of the 1960s "Easy Rider" and find it somewhat disappointing...

Jamie and Rory take a look at 2004 comedy White Chicks. Jamie tried to go his entire life without seeing this movie but thanks to Rory that is a failed goal. After finally seeing the movie, what will Jamie think?

A Korean police drama/action movie, Nowhere To Hide fuses hardboiled detective tropes with an anime-like approach to action sequences which gives the film a very off kilter feel tone wise. Certainly an interesting one, listen in as the boys discuss this holdover from the first season of the show.

We're bringing you an unusual one today! Performance is a 1970 movie starring James Fox and Mick Jagger (yes, that Mick Jagger) that's part London gangster movie, part arthouse piece and partly feels like people just got high and made things up as they went along. It's an unusual and interesting film that's for certain, but what will the boys make of it?

In this episode of Second Take Cinema the boys are examining an Oscar-nominated movie from Italy! Malena stars Monica Bellucci in the title role and is a tale about obsession, jealousy, conformity and the insidious ways hatred can grow in a populace. This one's got some adult content in it so may not be for everybody.

In this holdover from season one, the boys discuss John McTiernan's film "The 13th Warrior" an interesting and oft-forgotten action-adventure from the 90s. Making some strange casting choices and revisiting some of McTiernan's early glory days, what will the boys make of this period epic?

The boys are back in town for season 2 and, kicking things off with a bang, we give a second take to a film Rory once called "the worst movie I have ever seen"...it's time for Man of Steel!

Season 1 draws to a close as Jamie and Rory go back down nostalgia road to look at the insane cultural force that was Space Jam. Mixing cartoon animation with live action performance, Space Jam is sort of in the same vein as movies like Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and is remembered just as fondly. Is this a case of rose tinted glasses or does Space Jam deserve the fond nostalgia with which it is remembered?
