In a change from our planned schedule, this week we’re heading back into space in order celebrate Patrick Stewart, whose work in Star Trek: The Next Generation meant so much to two members of Redshirt Cinema Club in particular.
We’ll be watching a hand-picked selection of our favourite episodes, trying to dislodge Kirk as Rob’s captain of choice, and saying goodbye to the finest role model 6 o’clock on BBC 2 had to offer, Jean Luc Picard

Hello and welcome to Redshirt Cinema Club, a podcast about fandom and watching movies with friends.
So when you’ve just finished watching a massive series of superhero movies, and it’s nearly Halloween, and one of your three hosts hasn’t seen a particular beloved 80s classic, who you gonna call?
The cadence of that was all wrong but, yes, we watched Ghostbusters this week, the 1984 smash hit comedy starring Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd and Sigourney Weaver. Can it make a new fan out of me? Let’s find out!

We've arrived! But where?
At the muster station for wayward Marvel superheroes, also known as (genuinely) the biggest thing to happen to cinema since Star Wars. The Avengers is the culmination of an ever-evolving plan for the comic book publisher to make it's own movies, to control its own stable of characters, to give Stan Lee as many screen credits as possible, and to make gigantic stacks of money. It just happens to be really, really good as well.
Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, and arrows guy better watch out, because there's an alien army waiting in the middle of space for a magic gate to open to they can invade Earth. And the aliens better watch out, because Earth has been learning self defence.

Film number four in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is Thor, and we've come a long way from Tony Stark's cave in Afghanistan.
All the way to Asgard, in fact, as the bounds of the MCU expand even at this early stage to embrace other worlds, mythical beings, and stuff happening somewhere in the gap between endless space and affordable CG.
THERE IS A LOT GOING ON. The MCU gets its first supervillain, Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddlestone launch mega careers, a blue box turns up, and Marvel seems to prove once and for all that you can keep making films that are only OK so long as there's another film that might be better just around the corner...

Three episodes into our MCU series and we’ve already got our first sequel - 2010’s Iron Man 2 - which Marvel couldn’t resist making after the success of the original. Robert Downey Jr returns as Tony Stark, facing off against both Mickey Rourke’s Whiplash and the age-old conundrum of what do you do with a superhero after their origin story? You talk about them on a podcast, that’s what. Let’s go!

Hello and welcome to Redshirt Cinema Club, a podcast about fandom and watching movies with friends. We’re doing it! We’re getting through Phase One of the MCU, and today that means our opinion lens is focused on 2008’s The Incredible Hulk, a complicated entry in that it came out mere months after Iron Man, features a star in Edward Norton who never returns to the franchise, and is a sort of sequel but not really to 2003’s Hulk directed by Ang Lee. What do we make of it? Let’s find out!

The truth is, we are watching Iron Man...
Listeners, it's time for a reboot. For Edward Norton to become Mark Ruffalo. For Andrew Garfield to become Tom Holland. For us to have a vision, a quest for the podcast once again.
It's time for Redshirt versus the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In what we're enigmatically calling Phase Three of the podcast, we’ll be rewatching the biggest movie phenomenon of all time from its inception to the Avengers’ first Assembling. Get ready for tons of cultural context, egregious Stan-Splaining, lots of realising we’re older than we used to be, and a weekly check-in on just how full our Marvel fandom Infinity Gauntlets are getting. Let’s get started with, Iron Man.

Welcome Redshirt team, to the final pre-MCU comic book episode before we dive into the world of The Avengers, singularly and collectively.
This week, it's Dave's pick, and he has chosen Constantine - although it proves to be more of a case of Constantin-terruptions as Nath and Rob lead us astray (or should that be ashtray?).

Hello and welcome to Redshirt Cinema Club, a weekly podcast Bat-transmitting from the Batcave.
That’s right, a few short episodes after our trip to Christopher Nolan’s Gotham City, we’re back with the Dark Knight thanks to Rob’s choice for pre-MCU superhero viewing. Which is… Tim Burton’s Batman Returns, featuring a rogue’s gallery of Catwoman, The Penguin, and some guy making a reverse power station? How dare they?

Hello and welcome to Redshirt Cinema Club, a podcast about fandom and watching movies with friends. We’re about to tackle the big one - the MCU.
The biggest movies, the most fervent fandoms, opinions so divisive they could probably splint a continent in half and sink the entire West coast of America. Which, coincidentally, is Lex Luthor’s plan in Superman: The Movie - the film we’re watching today to kick off our three-part mini series of pre-MCU superhero flicks before we take on the main event.

Hello and welcome to Redshirt Cinema Club, a podcast about fandom and watching movies with friends. Today, it’s Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan’s multi-award-winning 2023 biopic of the man who made the bomb. Best Picture. Best actor for Cillian Murphy, Best Director for Nolan himself.

Notes de l’épisode
The end of our Nolan series approaches, as you can tell by the fact we've reached a film that doesn't care about beginnings, or endings, or - more than one of us might argue - what happens in the middle, either.
This week we're watching/have watched/will have been about to be watching Tenet, which is like a time-based counterpart to the globe-spanning, dream-plumbing action of Inception. Not content with simply folding Paris back upon itself, Tenet goes one further and folds all of reality, with a war of annihilation moving back along the timeline from the future and about to engulf the present.
What does this mean? On the one hand, we sincerely have no idea. On the other, it means bullets that fire backwards, fight scenes between opponents moving in contrary directions through time, car chases where both cars pursue each other at the same time(s), and a final assault that's finished before it begins.
Obviously, Bill and Ted would have had this wrapped up in 90 minutes. But what else do we make of Tenet? Join us to find out!

We’re nearing the end of our Nolan run now, and we’re heading for the stars - or at least a handful of uninhabitable planets and a wormhole or two - with 2014’s Interstellar. A movie less about space and rockets than it is about love, regret, parenthood and just how much of a dick Matt Damon can be if the script is right. Does it get the Redshirt seal of approval?

Notes de l’épisode
Check out our Nolan-esque use of non-linear plotting as we interrupt our chronological journey through the films of Christopher N to take in the director's newly released epic, The Odyssey.
Praise Zeus, we did it! We got Rob to the cinema, and he stayed there until the film was over. But what did he - and Nath, and Dave - make of this take on Homer's epic tale?
Even more crucially, how did Dave - a man who runs a social media agency specialising in the entertainment industry - manage to watch this extensively marketed film without even knowing who was in the cast? How does it compare to Nolan's other epic big screen adventures? And can it possibly compete with the Ducktales version of the story from the episode 'Home Sweet Homer,' which features duck sirens?

Notes de l’épisode
Most people would probably have a break between making two blockbusting superhero movies, especially when they're as brilliant and ambitious as Batman Begins (2005) and The Dark Knight (2008).
Not Christopher Nolan. Instead he teamed up with Christian Bale and knocked out The Prestige (2006), a cerebral character drama following two feuding magicians and their shared obsession with outdoing the other. Stylistically it's an outlier when looked at in the context of his wider catalogue, but there's a reason Nolan connoisseurs often cite this as their favourite.
What will we make of it however? Let's find out!

Hello and welcome to Redshirt Cinema Club, a podcast about - finally - BATMAN movies. Well it is for today anyway, as we tackle Christopher Nolan’s 2005 comic book blockbuster Batman Begins, the film that arguably made both him and lead-actor Christian Bale household names and kickstarted a superhero trilogy still regarded by many as the greatest ever.

Today we continue our journey through the movies of Christopher Nolan with 2002's Insomnia, the comparatively little-known film he made between Memento (cult favourite, liking it makes you sound clever) and Batman Begins (the first chapter of everyone's favourite superhero trilogy).
The cast is stacked with A-list talent - Al Pacino, Robin Williams and Hilary Swank will get your movie noticed - and yet Insomnia rarely gets talked about with the same fervour as Nolan's other work. We'll explore why in this episode, alongside chat about how smoking and telephones are cool and Matt Damon isn't. Enjoy!

Notes de l’épisode
It's finally happened. We're giving the world not the podcast it deserves but the one it needs right now. And what the world needs is a movie podcast where three early-middle-aged straight, white guys talk about Christopher Nolan films.
First up is Memento, Nolan's critically-acclaimed mainstream debut from 2000 that - despite its raw, indie feel - carries itself with the artistic swagger of a surefire summer hit. Within it you can already see a few Nolan trademarks: a non-traditional narrative structure and a preoccupation with time (and how we always seem to be running out of it). Is the film as good as we remember? Let's jump in and find out...
We're not just doing this for the sake of it, however. The Odyssey hits cinemas on 17th July, the kind of summer blockbuster that's become increasingly rare and upon which so many of our most cherished movie memories have been made. So we're watching Nolan's films in the run up to release, followed by the Greek epic itself. Please watch along with us and email your thoughts, questions and opinions to [email protected]
The schedule for RSCC's Nolan summer looks like this:
- Memento - 8th June
- The Mandalorian and Grogu (Patreon-exclusive) 10th June
- Insomnia - 15th June
- Batman Begins - 22nd June

This week on Redshirt Cinema Club it’s the turn of 2002’s Resident Evil, an adaptation of the survival horror videogame that spawned a series of actually quite successful films despite never really being that good. Kind of like Fast and the Furious but with zombies instead of cars. Did the first movie convince US, however? Is the Licker scary? And just who is Milla Jovovich supposed to be? We’ll answer at least two of those questions in this episode.

Rob is a lifelong is a lifelong Pokéfan while Nath and Dave are bemused onlookers ready to receive a heartwarming introduction to the world of collecting, training, and trying your best.

For you, the day our episode on Street Fighter graced your village was the most important day in your life. But for us? It was Monday.
Welcome back to our continuing series on video game movies, where this week we have reached the garish, often nonsensical, somehow still wonderfully entertaining Street Fighter from 1994. Several pillars of the game have been turned upside down - Guile is the main character, Ken and Ryu are low-level conmen, and Blanka wasn't even raised by eels - but thankfully Raoul Julia's M Bison is staggeringly good fun, and we have our FIRST EVER podcast guest in the shape of frequent anecdote-featurer and childhood Street Fighter enthusiast, Matt Elliott.

Notes de l’épisode
Kicking off our season on videogame adaptation we've got the notoriously awful Super Mario Bros. movie from 1993. Yes, the one that doesn't look anything like the Mario games and instead feels like if Blade Runner had dinosaurs and was directed by an idiot (or two idiots as it turns out).
It does star Bob Hoskins and Dennis Hopper though, and despite the critical and commercial failure is still a film remembered fondly by many. How will it fare in the Redshirt opinion cauldron? Listen on to find out!
Here's how our schedule is shaping up for the next month:
- Super Mario Bros. (1993) - Monday 27th April
- Tron (1982) PATREON EXCLUSIVE - Wedesday 29th April

Notes de l’épisode
This week we’re delving into our mailbag to mark the end of our series on 80s fantasy movies (you can tell because people only “delve” in fantasy settings) and to share your nostalgia, nit-picks, and at least one bit of trivia - about David Bowie in Labyrinth - that blew our tiny goblin minds.
If you've been listening along to our journey through this decade's unique haul of fantasy films - Time Bandits, Highlander, Labyrinth, The Neverending Story, The Princess Bride, Willow - then listen in as we sort through your comments and criticisms.
There's also some talk about what we'll be watching next, as we begin to formulate our Grand Videogame Adaptation Plan.

Notes de l’épisode
This week - we’re falling through holes in the universe and landing in Time Bandits, Terry Gilliam’s visually cacophonous 1981 adventure about a small boy careening through time with a band of thieves pursued by God and evil itself. There’s… a lot going on.
It's possible that Time Bandits features the best backstory to a heist ever conceived (a band of God's minor manufacturers are sent to the repairs department for creating a very unusual tree, and use the map of all the holes in the universe ("it was a rush job, seven days...") to steal things instead of fixing the fabric of... everything. It's for absolute certain that it's another slightly-too-scary-for-kids-but-actually-great-as-an-adult adventure, and another glimpse into what Sean Connery was up to after that whole Bond deal.
