Alone in the South Passage - A Star Wars Podcast

Send us a textFrom R rated content last time, to (sort of) X rated this week- Steff tells us all about his "entirely-for-research" visit to the burlesque Star Wars parody show currently touring the country.To come down off all that excitement, we review 2009's Terminator Salvation. The franchise comprises of some excellent films (the first and second ones) and some real robo turds (everything else). But where abouts does this one sit in the oeuvre?Elsewhere, there's some scratching around for films leaving Prime soon, in Last Chance Cinema Club, and Hutch goes all modern and cartoony for next week's movie review pick.You can contact us at:podcast@2ndchancecinemaclub.comWe can be found on:Instagram - @2ndchancecinemaclub

Send us a textIt's Christopher Nolan's palindromic reverse-athon “Tenet” under the review microscope this week. Perversely, the boys may not actually know what they are talking about for once.But before we get into that, there's some Star Wars news to be had, which gives Hutch another excuse to talk about Andor, and more R rated content.Steff takes us through a frankly spartan Last Chance Cinema Club section, before giving Hutch his customary two choices for next week's episode.You can contact us at:podcast@2ndchancecinemaclub.comWe can be found on:Instagram - @2ndchancecinemaclub

Send us a textJust when you thought it was over, the boys produce another fine helping of scintillating Andor conversation. This time covering the series as a whole and answering the big question- was it as good as the first one?There's also some other Star Wars news, as we kick around ideas for an 18 certificate Star Wars movie. Then it's finally time to return to the actual topic of the podcast- reviewing overlooked/underappreciated/incomprehensible movies.This week the spotlight falls upon 80's nonsense The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (yes that's really the name).Has Steff's curiosity turned up a diamond in the rough? Or just…more roughness? Hutch thinks he knows…Elsewhere, there's a roundup of films exiting Prime in Last Chance Cinema Club, and next week's film is selected with the usual pomp and circumstance.You can contact us at:podcast@2ndchancecinemaclub.comWe can be found on:Instagram - @2ndchancecinemaclub

Send us a textAll too soon, we have reached the end of the latest Star Wars series. This week we deep dive into the final three episodes of Andor season 2.It's been a grand showing so far- but does it finish strong, or does it drop the ball?Steff manages to tear Hutch away from talking about it for five minutes, to do some Last Chance Cinema Club goodness.Next week we will review the series as a whole and discuss it in the wider galactic context.

Send us a Text Message.It's been a quiet week for the boys, Steff endured rugby disappointment and Hutch watched an Adam Driver movie (£100 says you don't guess which one...) and that's about it!Thankfully, in news there's lots to get excited about, with X-Men finally joining the Disney fold, and original Sci-Fi movies to look forward to.In 2nd Chance Cinema Club, we discuss 1987's Masters of the Universe. It may not be the nostalgia trip that Hutch was hoping for, but the boys have a lot of fun discussing nominative determinism and how Beast Man could have been your midwife.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 man best known as Baron Papanoida became an octogenarian this week and we lament how much more he accomplished in the first half of his life than we have in all of ours (YET).In other news, Hutch tears up trees with his bare hands to save a few quid, whilst Steff is vaguely annoyed that Eric Clapton didn't play his favourite song. We also discuss the merits of modern black and white movies and spend too much time on how we was robbed at Eurovision!In 2nd Chance Cinema Club, we talk all about 2010's ostrich epic Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Will we survive two hours of Jake Gyllenhaal's mockney brown face??? Tune in to find out...Happy Birthday George Lucas!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.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. May the Fourth Be With You!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 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. 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 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
