  • We've lost count of how many times we've seen The Two Towers, a film Rob reckons he could recite beginning to end (especially the Gollum scenes). As before, there's no fandom experiment going on here - we're simply watching something we all love, occasionally delving into the books and mentioning the Appendices too much.


    Enjoy the episode and join us next week for The Return of the King!

  • Welcome, listeners, to a very expected journey - we’re finally taking on Lord Of The Rings. 


    Since The Fellowship Of The Ring was released in 2001, no Christmas has been complete for our hosts without a touch of Tolkien’s world. We’re not trying to convince one of us to like something, or to see if we’re still fans - this is an indulgent way of rewatching something we love dearly and then to babble on about it for ages. It is, as Boromir would say, a gift - a gift to ourselves. 


    Merry us. 


    This episode starts with a short history of director Peter Jackson’s pre-Rings career, after which we go through the film act by act and just enjoy the heck out of it. 


    See you next week for The Two Towers.

  • You asked for it, and we did it - we've watched Galaxy Quest, and we'd like you to join us as we talk about it.


    In a welcome departure from the bleakness of the Alien universe, in this episode of Redshirt Cinema Club we've delayed our departure for Middle-earth by a week and watched what has been by far our most requested film the affectionate Star Trek parody, Galaxy Quest.


    All three of us are officially Star Trek fans now, so Galaxy Quest has a lot to live up to. Can this satire deliver in an era when the Next Generation movies were struggling? Will we get all the in-jokes? Is Sigourney Weaver just going to be in every film we watch now? Listen on to find out!

  • This week - excitement at the return of Ridley Scott as our Alien adventure takes us up to 2012’s origin story, Prometheus. Can it live up to Scott’s spectacular original? Or is it actually quite a lot like Alien Vs Predator? To paraphrase Lawrence of Arabia, "Certainly it's bad... the trick is not minding that it's bad".

    David Fincher's 1992 film is dark and divisive. Following a difficult production, the film reviewed badly and disappointed fans of the more cohesive Alien and Aliens. Over time the film has developed a sympathetic cult following of ardent supporters - but will Nath, Rob, and Dave be among them? Listen to find out!

  • After the meticulous horror of Ridley Scott's Alien comes the muscular genre perfection of James Cameron's Aliens. Have we had two better films in a row yet on Redshirt Cinema Club? Ahaha, no, we have not.


    Join us as we battle past simply enjoying the heck out of this movie and try to say something meaningful and worthwhile. How does Aliens expand the horizons of Alien while remaining consistent to its core ideas? What gives the film its slick momentum and intensity? And look - LOOK - at how cool everything is! Just look at it!


    Are we still Alien fans? Yes we are, but join us anyway!

  • It's Dave's last chance. One final double bill of Doctor Who. One last attempt at drawing out the Whovian we're convinced lurks within. Can Jodie Whittaker's Doctor swoop in and save the day? This Bond-inspired romp is unlike any Who we've watched so far, featuring car chases, globe-trotting set pieces and Lenny Henry. What will Dave make of it?

A mature, challenging fan-favourite from the Capaldi era, this surely has the makings of something Dave will love. Let's find out what he makes of it!

    Which aren't secret at all. We're going to carry on making Redshirt Cinema Club! Watching and rewatching our favourite film series and sharing the journey with you.

    We've also started a Patreon if you'd like to support us in making the podcast. Members at the $5 Commander tier will get access to two bonus podcasts every month, and we're also making Redshirt Cinema Club available on YouTube and starting a monthly newsletter, The Civilian Observer.

    Will the redshirts see past all the lens flare? Can Leonard Nimoy fulfil the needs of the many? And is Karl Urban's Dr McCoy inspired or merely an imitation? We'll be hotly contesting all of the above AND MORE in this episode, before broaching the most important question of them all - is Rob a Star Trek fan yet?
