Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is probably going to be the last Indiana Jones film they ever make. And on paper it's got everything an Indie film needs - a globe-trotting hunt for a long-lost artifact, Nazis (one of whom is really massive), a strong-willed female lead, an inexplicably competent child and a jaunt into the paranormal that just about hangs-on to the cliff of feasibility.

It's also got a de-aged Harrison Ford...

It's time for The Last Crusade! (Until the other two - which we don't talk about, unless we're making podcasts about them).

Indiana Jones is back doing what he does best - punching Nazis, saving loved ones, and somehow doubting the existence of the divine despite being on-site when a biblical artifact melted a squad of German troops. This time he's after the sippy cup of Jesus H Christmas himself, the holy grail of archaeologic...

Our Indy adventure continues with The Temple Of Doom, a sequel that's both darker and sillier than the original. Because what do kids like better than human sacrifice and seeing their heroes go evil? Rawdog heart amputation and an army of slave children of course. Thank you Mr Spielberg!

Despite or quite probably because of all this, Temple Of Doom is Rob's favourite Indy film. Will he still feel the same having watched it as an...

Welcome to Redshirt Cinema Club, a weekly podcast about watching movies with friends. 

And this week - what a movie. We’re starting a brand new series with Indiana Jones And The Raiders Of The Lost Ark - a powerful nostalgic swirl of magic, memories, and unmissable quotes for Nath and Dave, and 90 minutes of wishing we were talking about The Mummy instead for Rob. I guess he never went to Sunday school…

Let us know what ...

This week we're diving into the Redshirt inbox, reading all the excellent emails we've criminally ignored for however long it was since we last did a mailbag episode. Get ready to enjoy witty and insightful chats about plot holes, wrestling, and marital history of James Cameron.

Hello and welcome to Redshirt Cinema Club, a weekly podcast about dads, pirates, and humungous fairies.

Rounding off our rewatch of our individual picks for the best film of 1991, this week Dave's choice takes us to Neverland, and to Steven Spielberg's Hook.

We all know that the core of Peter Pan's story is that he never grew up. What this high concept follow-up to the classic children's tales presupposes is... what if he di...

Hello and welcome to Redshirt Cinema Club, a weekly podcast about robots that become our dad.  

This week we continue our series on the best films 1991 with Rob's number one pick, Terminator 2: Judgement Day. This is James Cameron's sequel to his own 1984 noirish tech thriller, this time broadened into a family-friendly blockbuster in line with the career trajectory of its star, bad robot turned good robot, Arnold Schw...

Hello and welcome to Redshirt Cinema Club, a weekly podcast about robbing the rich, and storing the proceeds in an elaborate tree house.  

This week we begin our series on our individual picks for the best film of 1991, starting with Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Objectivity is going out the window, Robin Hood is coming back the other way, and everyone is having the best time. Except Rob. Join us now - join Robin Hood...

The first of our retrospective mini-seasons focuses on the movies of 1991. Why? I think because Nath just wanted an excuse to talk about Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, but also it gives us the opportunity to each rank our top ten movies of the year and who doesn't love a ranking. We'll be watching each host's number 1 pick over the next three weeks, plus a community-voted movie for one of May's bonus episodes.

Let us know what ...

Why do people keep going back to that island filled with dinosaurs? In the case of Jurassic Park 3 it's to a) save a missing boy and b) witness how much cleverer velociraptors have got. They can talk now! Set traps! And pretend to be statues! Not to be outdone by the newly introduced Spinosaurus which swallows a phone and proceeds to announce itself with a ringtone, like some monstrous version of Peter Pan's crocodile. Can the retu...

The Lost World? They've only found it.

How do you follow up a groundbreaking blockbuster that rewrote the rules of action cinema with a t-rex and three velociraptors? With TWO t-rexes and SIX velociraptors of course. The lads at InGen remember they left a massive island full of dinosaurs on simmer when a child's face is eaten, so they convince the world's premier open-shirted mathematician to return and ineffectually tell every...

A brand new series is upon us! One with miraculous dinosaurs, underhand IT contractors, and perilous adventure.

Throughout April we'll be revisiting the original Jurassic Park trilogy, beginning with Steven Spielberg's groundbreaking 1993 original. The movie is a firm podcast favourite, especially for Rob and Dave, but will the film's standard-setting digital effects hold up? Has the early-90s tech-terror storytelling aged? And...

This really is it! The end of the Matrix series so far. Morpheus has died in a game you didn't play and Hugo Weaving was doing some theatre so Agent Smith has a new face. But the big news is that Neo is alive, somehow, and trapped in a new Matrix devoted to nodding self-referentially at the old one, while Trinity has become just a regular, Ducatti-riding, Hollywood hot mom of two regular kids.

Join us! As we discuss why two of ...

This is it! The end of the Matrix series, until they made another one. With Neo trapped in a cybercoma and strapped on a gurney next to a man doing a cartoonish Hugo Weaving impression, WHO will be available to speak to the big machine face and force a ceasefire before the squids interrupt the eternal raving of Zion? It barely matters.

Join us as we discuss what is supposed to be happening in this film, who won at the end, and w...

With Nath exiting the Matrix (and the country) this week, Rob and Dave are taking the opportunity to read some of your amazing emails (and some of the less amazing ones too). We talk future plans, rugby fans and questionable flans. Does anyone even read these genius descriptions?!
