Things get explosive on the show when Jamie introduces Rory to one of his favourite movies; Serendipity, and it isn't received nearly as warmly as Jamie hoped. This might be the most angry anybody has ever gotten about a John Cusack movie, ever. Rounding out our double bill is a fairly recent Christmas movie; Last Christmas starring Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding. Quick quiz, which of our two hosts do you think saw this movie four times in the cinema?

Jamie introduces Rory to this indescribably insane movie in the latest episode of Second Take Cinema. Detention is a 2011 movie that spits in the face of typical narrative structure and runs away laughing when the concept of genre is brought up. It's a candy-coated delight that somehow works as both a horror movie spoof, a teen comedy send up and a psychedelic sci-fi adventure. It's weird and it certainly won't be for everyone...

It's an unusual episode today as we take a break from looking at cinematic masterpieces to indulge Jamie's fanboy obsession and celebrate the 60th birthday of iconic British Sci-Fi series Doctor Who.

Today we're looking at the 50th anniversary special of Doctor Who; 2013 multi-Doctor episode "The Day Of The Doctor."

Today the boys tackle a film from one of Jamie's favourite filmmakers; Sam Raimi. Travel back to the early 00s with us and take a look at a pre-MCU Spider-Man, a massive blockbuster success at the time and one of the movies that jumpstarted the comic book craze we still live through. Does the movie still hold up in a post-MCU world? Does it feel antiquated or has its charm aged well like a fine wine?
