10 SEP 2026 · Jamie and Rory revisit the 2011 movie Another Earth, a film they both saw separately and both were disappointed by. Promising an intriguing and thought provoking story that asks questions about the idea of parallel lives and the paths not taken, the film instead spends a lot of time focusing on someone cleaning a house. At least, that was our perception the first time we saw it. All of these years later, will our thoughts have changed?

3 SEP 2026 · Jamie and Rory tackle their second Robert Rodriguez movie since covering Spy Kids way back in season 1. Combining CGI with live action, Alita: Battle Angel is an adaptation of a Japanese manga with a mixed reputation. The first part in a planned huge undertaking, the sequel still has yet to arrive (and at present it doesn't look like it's coming at all) so we decided to look back and see if the first film can stand on its own.

27 AUG 2026 · Jamie and Rory go back to the MCU as they take a look at the second Iron Man movie and ask the question; did this film move the story along at all? Did it play things too safe?

20 AUG 2026 · Jamie and Rory take a look at the poorly-named Sorcerer which is actually an American remake of the French movie The Wages of Fear which we covered back in season 1. Poorly received on release, Sorcerer underwent a critical re-evaluation and many film aficionados consider it one of the most tense thrillers ever made. So of course, Jamie and Rory have to be contrarians...

13 AUG 2026 · On this week's episode of Second Take Cinema the gang take a look at one of the most famous movies of the 1980s; Raiders Of The Lost Ark. With Steven Spielberg and George Lucas running the show and Harrison Ford in the leading performance, Raiders seems almost destined to have become the franchise-starter that it turned out to be, but how does this movie hold up in 2026? Are the thrills still thrilling? The villains still imposing? And are there some elements of the production that seem very problematic when viewed through a 2026 lens?
Second Take Cinema is a production of Impala Films and features Jamie Evans, Rory Joscelyne and Benton Hodges.Â

6 AUG 2026 · Things get heated on this week's episode of Second Take Cinema as the gang discuss the movie usually regarded as the Coen Brothers' Magnum Opus: No Country For Old Men. Is it a genius post-modern deconstruction of all of the narrative tropes Hollywood has held onto for decades or is it a messy meandering film being praised by the pretentious crowd?

30 JUL 2026 · We're finally doing it! One of the movies that inspired the creation of Second Take Cinema; Apocalypse Now. Often hailed as one of the greatest movies of all time, Jamie saw this movie at University and absolutely hated it. If you've ever listened to Jamie on a podcast before you're sure to know just how much he despises Apocalypse Now. Now he's (redacted) number of years older, not really any wiser and watching the theatrical cut which is supposed to be much better than the Redux Cut he watched previously. He's roped Benton and Rory into it too so tune in to find out how they boys rated Apocalypse Now.

23 JUL 2026 · A brand new season of Second Take Cinema is here and our fourth season kicks off with an unusual episode for us in that we aren't discussing an old movie to see if it still holds up but rather a brand new movie in Christopher Nolan's epic retelling of Homer's Odyssey which recently did great numbers at the box office.Â
Jamie and Rory are also joined on the show by Benton who, as a keen fan of the original text, had some misgivings going into this movie. Has Nolan delivered a satisfying experience or will Benton be infuriated by this modern adaptation of the Greek classic?Â

28 MAY 2026 · It's the end of season 3 and the end of listener request month here on Second Take Cinema! For this entry we're going to Luke in Chelmsford who asked us to look back at this highly regarded 80s sci-fi movie and give it a second take. How well does Back To The Future hold up in 2026? How are those effects looking? And why-oh-why does this film love to keep us all uncomfortable with incestuous implications?Â

21 MAY 2026 · An obscure cult film from the 1980s, The Last Dragon is a mash-up of hip hop music with martial arts, produced by music legend and founder of Motown Berry Gordy. It's an unusual film that, whilst not good cinema in the traditional sense certainly has a sense of style and charm all its own. Will Jamie and Rory appreciate the unusual charms of The Last Dragon or will it go over their heads?
