    Batman Begins (Listener Request Month)
    Apr 30 2026
    It's the start of listener request month (or listener requests for slightly more than a month) and first up is Batman Begins! The start of Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, listener Craig claims this is the best film in the trilogy but Jamie has always considered it his least favourite. Will that opinion change with a Second Take?

  • Double Bill: Moonwalker & Spice World

    Double Bill: Moonwalker & Spice World
    Apr 23 2026

    We wrap up season 3 of Second Take Cinema with a pair of movies made by musicians! Moonwalker is the vanity project by Michael Jackson at the height of his fame (and arguably madness). Rejecting narrative and traditional filmmaking in favour of a surrealistic blend of noir gangster movie, music videos, Looney Tunes and...Transformers?


    Meanwhile, Spice World made roughly a decade later is a testament to the cynicism and relentless grinding of the pop culture machine; taking the biggest girlband of the 1990s and throwing them into a Frankenstein of a movie stapled and tied together from scraps of other scripts, celebrity cameos and the sheer desire to see just how much Spice Girls the world could take before it finally snapped.

  • The Devil's Rejects

    The Devil's Rejects
    Apr 16 2026
    On this week's episode of Second Take Cinema the boys return to the work of Mr Robert Zombie with his second ever movie "The Devil's Rejects." Jamie saw this movie when he was 14 and has maintained that this is the best movie in Rob Zombie's filmography. Will he still feel that way reviewing the movie in 2026 and how will Rory react to this blood-soaked grindhouse movie?

  • The Incredible Hulk

    The Incredible Hulk
    Apr 9 2026
    After a stunning start with Iron Man, the MCU hit a misstep early on with its second movie out the gate; The Incredible Hulk. Or did it? The film has a mixed reaction and the lead actor Edward Norton was famously replaced by Mark Ruffalo going forward. There also weren't any solo Hulk movies after this (so far at least) which would lead one to believe this movie sucked and so we decided to give it a second take and see how it stacks up in 2026.

  • Glengarry Glen Ross

    Glengarry Glen Ross
    Apr 2 2026
    Based on the popular play and featuring a cast of massive names including Al Pacino, Alan Arkin, Jack Lemmon and Ed Harris this is a contained movie about salesman facing the chop if they can't reach the increasingly high targets set by their corporate overlords. A meditation on capitalism, desperation and toxic masculinity, does the film resonate even more now than when it was released?

  • The Terminator

    The Terminator
    Mar 26 2026
    On this week's episode of Second Take Cinema we take a look back at this sci-fi classic from 1984, the film that put so many of the people involved on the map; director James Cameron as well as stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn. There's been a lot of sequels since that saw Schwarzenegger's T-800 turned into an iconic action hero, but in this original movie he is the bad guy. Does it still work in 2026 now we all know Arnie as the action star?
