Redshirt Cinema Club

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.

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.

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!Join the Redshirt Cinema Club!
