Second Take Cinema

This week on the show we look back at the early days of the pre-eminent horror franchise of the 00s and the originator of the so-called "torture porn" sub-genre; Saw and Saw II.

The boys visit one of the iconic slashers of cinema history, everybody's favourite foul-mouthed doll Chucky as they sit down to look back at the first two movies in the Child's Play franchise.

Continuing our series of Spooky Month Double Features the boys take a look at Hereditary and Midsommar, two quintessential films in the so-called "Elevated Horror" movement. If you've listened to this show long enough, you can probably guess how we feel about that term. This episode isn't going to make us very popular.

October is here and that means it's all horror, all month long here at Second Take Cinema! This year we're doing double features every week and we're starting here with two of the ultimate cult classics, from the excellent Sam Raimi and starring the brilliant Bruce Campbell, we're talking Evil Dead & Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn!

This week on Second Take Cinema we're discussing Duncan Jones' debut feature film Moon. This sci-fi indie flick boasts a very small cast largely centering on Sam Rockwell with other actors appearing in only very minor or voice only roles. Moon was a critical darling upon release and seemed to indicate a very promising career ahead for its director, has Duncan Jones lived up to the expectations set by his debut or has he failed to repeat the success of this first time outing?
