Joining the Australian Army. Battling Sharks. Failing at Logic.

We cleanse our palates of Deep Rising's rubbery tentacles and dive headfirst into World War II survival horror with Beasts of War (1988/2025). Specifically, the version where an Australian military troop is shipwrecked in the Timor Sea, pitting them against the elements, enemy attacks, and a very hungry Great White.

But this is no mere historical tragedy. It's an unscripted test of our collective intelligence! Join your hosts—now joined by the enigmatic Poo Stu and the surprisingly-salty Poodle Skirt—as we try to untangle the film’s central, baffling dilemma:

• Who is a Prisoner of Britain? (The historical baggage, the perceived injustices, and the sheer misfortune of being on that particular ship).

• Who is a Prisoner of the Shark? (The immediate, biological horror of the food chain, and the truly deep terror of the sea).

Expect the usual blend of frantic movie analysis, existential dread, and a complete failure to keep track of which character is which. We try to determine the better fate—an enemy POW camp, or a monster's stomach—all while struggling to comprehend why our trio thought joining any army was a good idea after last week's "karate-hop" debacle.

Will our collective intellect survive the sun, the salt, and the surprisingly poignant commentary on the brutality of war? Or will we all just end up as shark bait?

Tuesday Cinema Club: S3 E4 - Beasts of War: Shark Bait ArmyThe Ironic Description

From Holy Relics to Holy Rollies.

After surviving Spiral (barely), the Tuesday Cinema Club is back and, against all odds, has somehow graduated from mere movie-watchers to actual filmmakers! In this very special Season 3, Episode 2, we dive headfirst into the world of our own creation: the premiere of our short film, Congo2.

But because this is the Tuesday Cinema Club, we can't just talk about our artistic genius. No, we must first confront the baffling, cinematic mystery that is The Shroud (2024), starring our problematic fave, Crownburb. Is it a tense thriller? A philosophical meditation on faith? Or just a really long, dark walk in the woods with a suspiciously well-lit ancient artifact?

Join us as we try to make sense of Crownburb's dramatic gravitas, the film's questionable theology, and whether the 'shroud' in question might actually be a metaphor for the fog in our brains after all these horror movies. Then, prepare yourselves for an exclusive, highly-unprofessional, and utterly biased peek behind the scenes of Congo2, proudly sponsored by our new partners in cinematic crime, RollieEgg. We'll discuss our "creative process," our "vision," and how many times we almost accidentally set the set on fire.

Warning: May contain extreme levels of self-congratulation, followed by immediate self-doubt.

We also wonder how do you know if someone is a spy

Thirty-One Traps. Fifteen Down. One Podcast Too Many.

The October Death March to 31 Horror Movies has begun, and honestly, the real trap was making us record a review after 15 straight nights of cinematic depravity.

In our Season 3 opener, the Tuesday Cinema Club crew – delirious and potentially hallucinating – is forced to dissect Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021). Is it a 'Saw' movie? Is it a 'Chris Rock' movie? Is it a scathing social commentary about police corruption? Or is it just a long walk that ends with someone getting a foot chopped off?

Join us as we talk about Samuel L. Jackson's screen time per dollar, the existential crisis of being an honest cop in the Saw-niverse, and the inherent comedy of a torture device that runs on the same energy as a DMV waiting line. We're spiraling, we're tired, and we're just hoping the twist isn't that we have to watch the other sixteen movies in a single sitting.

Tune in before you're forced to play a game.

In Whisper Breach, the world is quieted — communications severed — and a single signal becomes the battleground. The director joins us to unpack the production under low-light conditions, the creative use of negative space, and how AI tools were layered into the design—not to replace vision but to amplify ambience. We talk about the burden of silence, how texture and tonal shifts carry emotional weight, and how digital tools can either numb or enliven.

This episode is also a turning point in Season 2. All season, we’ve been peeling back the layers of AI, agency, myth, and control. From episodes on The Forbin Singularity to music video deep dives and digital auteurs like Harmony Korine, we’ve pushed past the default questions about “Is AI good or bad?” Instead, we’ve asked: How do artists use AI? Where does control lie? When is expressivity compromised or liberated?

Season 2 has been an odyssey through glitch, control, cinematic dreams, and the clash between machine logic and human mess. Whisper Breach isn’t just another entry — it’s a quiet crescendo, a moment when everything we’ve been circling finally whispers back.

Did the opening segment derail the greatest intellectual achievement in Tuesday Cinema Club history? Hosts Bruno and Sticky Fish think so, and they’re demanding that "Government Name" put the mic down after the intro threatened to ruin this all-star episode.

Before the chaos, we dove headfirst into a massive topic: "The Hyperreal and the Horizon." We explore how the modern AI simulacrum is not just a copy of reality, but a prediction engine that constantly shapes—and limits—our future cultural horizon. We also broke down the 1970 classic The Forbin Project and its terrifyingly relevant themes of a unified global AI demanding control.

This discussion was massive, featuring an incredible panel: Crater, Shawod, and Poostu, plus a fantastic, deep-cut interview with the brilliant John. The energy was electric, the concepts were huge, and yes, it might be the best episode we've ever produced... if you fast-forwarded through the first minute.

Tune in for the chaos, the genius, and the ongoing war against terrible intro music.

We’re rolling into the final episodes of the season—and you’re invited to be part of the conversation.

Over the past few months, Tuesday Cinema Club has been hosting creators, filmmakers, and cinephiles from across the industry to explore:

How AI is reshaping cinema—from indie studios to Hollywood

The rise of Slop vs. Haute AI: What’s groundbreaking? What’s garbage?

The evolving debate around rights, art, and fair use in the age of AI training data

We don’t shy away from the chaos.

We stream movies, debate ownership, and talk shop—because this is where cinema, technology, and rebellion collide. 

Join us live on Twitch to listen, share, and engage with the ideas shaping the future of film.

We’re punks.

We’re film lovers.

And we’re having a damn good time generating content with our guests as the season comes to a close. 

Help us spread the word—share the link, tune in, and let’s talk about what’s next for movies in the age of AI.

 TONIGHT 
Tuesday Cinema Club goes off the rails:
 No Comment – the chaos-brained director behind Don Toliver’s Jackboy II music video – drops by for a one-hour warm-up interview. AI glitches. VHS static. Harmony Korine fever dreams.
 Then we Spin the Wheel of Fate → Whatever public domain nightmare it lands on, we screen it. No rules. No filters. Just cinema anarchy under the orange glow.

Stranded somewhere above the Atlantic, the Tuesday Cinema Club crew decided that bad airplane Wi-Fi wasn’t going to stop them.

Episode 17 was “filmed” midair using streaming bandwidth that probably should have gone to someone’s in-flight movie.

Happy birthday to Mr. Present, dents in the cloud connection couldn’t stop a safe landing, a smooth takeoff, and a podcast experiment that somehow worked out anyway.

This entire episode? AI / CGI generated.

Stream it. Believe it. Wonder why we did it this way.

This week, Tuesday Cinema Club goes full John Woo with Face/Off — the ultimate battle of identities, Nicolas Cage vs. John Travolta. Alongside the chaos of doves and double-guns, we sit down with Tony for our 4th interview series, pulling back the curtain on how the cinema industry has been secretly using AI for years.

From action ballets to algorithmic editing, we explore how much of Hollywood’s “magic” has already been automated — and what that means for the future of filmmaking.
