Murder, Death, Killbots: The Acolyte, Kill Command, Fall Guy, The Bikeriders, Victor Wembanyama, Jurassic Park

Send us a Text Message.The boys have been busy this week. Hutch had a soggy old time in a field and watched old Steven Seagal movies, whilst Steff killed zombies with his son and watched something questionable in a dark room full of strangers.In the news we find out what NBA stars spend their first paychecks on, who we can expect to see acting with dinosaurs, and whether we will ever get to actually bloody watch Megalopolis.In 2nd Chance Cinema Club, we review 2016’s Kill Command and are pleasantly surprised with it. Sure it may just be Aliens with added killbots, but we find some good stuff to say regardless. Next week sees the release of new Star Wars live action series The Acolyte, kicking off with a two parter on 4th June. So we temporarily suspend our 2nd Chance Cinema Club for a few weeks, to concentrate on actually talking about Star Wars again.You can contact us at:aloneinthesouthpassage@gmail.comWe can be found on:Instagram - @aitsp_podcastTwitter - @aitsp_podcastYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTeKX6NB1XOIPXOraGfIfhw

From He-Man to Eternia: Masters of the Universe, Star Trek, X-Men, Vision, Bodger and Badger, Superman

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

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???

Fourth of May Be With You

Fourth of May Be With You

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

Aliens to the Power of Three

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.This week Hutch is knackered due to his all night American Hand Egg party, and Steff is numb from watching a space cat sleeping for two hours.

Episode 47 | Star Wars What If...?

Send us a Text Message.We beat Disney to the punch this week by talking hypotheticals, in our own version of 'Star Wars What If...?'Like bored Gods, Steff and Hutch pick two small changes each to make to the sacred timeline, and then discuss the possible ramifications of their meddling.

Yes obviously, it's the year the galaxy's greatest sci-fi podcast started!But apparently one or two other things happened as well.
