Send us a Text Message.Steff has been intimidating school children this week. Hutch, thankfully has not.The boys have suffered through The Phantom Menace though, in honour of its 25th anniversary and they also discuss The Acolyte preview and the first couple of episodes of Tales of the Empire.In 2nd Chance Cinema Club, the boys review 1997's Starship Troopers. Or rather, Hutch can't get a word in edgeways, whilst Steff gushes endlessly about it and tells us how everyone has got the film wrong all this time.You can contact us at:aloneinthesouthpassage@gmail.comWe can be found on:Instagram - @aitsp_podcastTwitter - @aitsp_podcastYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTeKX6NB1XOIPXOraGfIfhw
Send us a Text Message.It's Star Wars Day this week and the boys are celebrating by maybe, possibly going to see The Phantom Menace in the cinema (if they can be bothered).In the news, we hear about some upcoming TV and movies, but we mainly focus on what we would do if we had Chris Hemsworth's body for a couple of weeks...In 2nd Chance Cinema Club, after willfully ignoring the call to watch The Tomorrow War last week, Steff remedies that and comes to a startling and potentially worrying revelation.We will not be reviewing The Acolyte next week, as previously advertised, by virtue of it not being released for another month. Our pleas to Disney for early access have so far gone ignored, so we shall be talking about new animated series Tales of the Empire instead.

Send us a Text Message.It's episode 60 and Steff has finally watched an important piece of cinema this week, but sadly not the film he was supposed to see (sorry).We have lots of news items to discuss, with several classic movies coming back into the cinema this summer. Meanwhile, Hutch fantasizes about Japanese Star Wars merch, and bizarrely calls out the dishonorable members of his Wordle WhatsApp group.In 2nd Chance Cinema Club, there is only one film to discuss this week (I said I was sorry, alright?), so we talk all about Alien3 and why they really should have guns in prison.Star Wars day is next week, and we can't wait to tell you all about the many things we aren't doing for it. Also, Steff has to actually watch and talk about his film next time (Seriously, let it go Hutch!).You can contact us at:aloneinthesouthpassage@gmail.comWe can be found on:Instagram - @aitsp_podcastTwitter - @aitsp_podcastYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTeKX6NB1XOIPXOraGfIfhw
Send us a Text Message.We revel in the 1950s this week, as Steff brings us up to date with his adventures in a gory wasteland and (somehow) a Shakespeare play. Otherwise, Hutch has done sod all!In news, there's lots of video game chat. It's a Star Wars clean sweep at the BAFTAS; we discuss real vs virtual cleaning, and Steff tells us about his spamel. Elsewhere, there's an ashes update and Wolverine is either removing, or creating new arseholes for inconsiderate people (Hutch isn't sure which).In 2nd Chance Cinema Club, it's all about the lady robots this week, as Hutch talks us through a tricky bout of space robophilia in AI Rising, and Steff reviews inflatable chest parody movie Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.

Send us a Text Message.The boys have been busy this week doing all sorts. Hutch has been swanning about the West End watching grim plays about up north, whilst Steff has been living his best life at Reading Comic Con, The Bootleg Beatles and, errr… Maidenhead United.There's plenty going on news wise, with a shocking box office revelation, some video game updates and, for a change, Hutch fangirling over Christopher Nolan.In 2nd Chance Cinema Club, it turns out the boys have watched the same film with two different names, as Hutch reviews Bruce Willis putting his consciousness into a robot in Surrogates and Steff reviews Keanu Reeves putting his consciousness into a robot in Replicas.You can contact us at:aloneinthesouthpassage@gmail.comWe can be found on:Instagram - @aitsp_podcastTwitter - @aitsp_podcastYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTeKX6NB1XOIPXOraGfIfhw
Send us a Text Message.New Star Wars alert!Exciting news as a trailer dropped today for original animated series Tales of the Empire. So we talk all about that, along with a roundup of all the other sci-fi news that's fit to print.We also hear about how Steff spent his Easter (clue: watching movies and eating chocolate), and how Hutch has an unlikely new favourite album.In 2nd Chance Cinema Club, positivity gives way to caution as we are warned off intergalactic lorry story Space Truckers, and more unnecessary sequels of an Independence Day style.You can contact us at:aloneinthesouthpassage@gmail.comWe can be found on:Instagram - @aitsp_podcastTwitter - @aitsp_podcastYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTeKX6NB1XOIPXOraGfIfhw
Send us a Text Message.The boys do their damndest to not talk about Star Wars this week, instead discussing topics as diverse as Rugby, Captain Kirk, and the pronunciations of Chinese authors/Canadian directors.There's also the usual roundup of science fiction news and meanwhile, in 2nd Chance Cinema Club, Steff takes us on a forgettable Mission to Mars, whilst Hutch teases us on the edge of his hairy Black Hole.You can contact us at:aloneinthesouthpassage@gmail.comWe can be found on:Instagram - @aitsp_podcastTwitter - @aitsp_podcastYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTeKX6NB1XOIPXOraGfIfhw
