  • Cube (Listener Request Month)

    Cube (Listener Request Month)
    May 7 2026
    Requested by listener Tierra in Wisconsin, USA this week Rory and Jamie was watching cult Sci-Fi indie movie "Cube." A group of strangers wake up in a steel cube with no recollection of how they got there or how they know one another. Every subsequent room is an identical cube, some equipped with terrifying and brutal traps designed to whittle their group down. Will they band together to make it out? Will they succumb to the sinister and monolithic Cube and does this movie still hold up in the year 2026?

    Batman Begins (Listener Request Month)
    Apr 30 2026
    It's the start of listener request month (or listener requests for slightly more than a month) and first up is Batman Begins! The start of Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, listener Craig claims this is the best film in the trilogy but Jamie has always considered it his least favourite. Will that opinion change with a Second Take?

  • Double Bill: Moonwalker & Spice World

    Double Bill: Moonwalker & Spice World
    Apr 23 2026

    We wrap up season 3 of Second Take Cinema with a pair of movies made by musicians! Moonwalker is the vanity project by Michael Jackson at the height of his fame (and arguably madness). Rejecting narrative and traditional filmmaking in favour of a surrealistic blend of noir gangster movie, music videos, Looney Tunes and...Transformers?


    Meanwhile, Spice World made roughly a decade later is a testament to the cynicism and relentless grinding of the pop culture machine; taking the biggest girlband of the 1990s and throwing them into a Frankenstein of a movie stapled and tied together from scraps of other scripts, celebrity cameos and the sheer desire to see just how much Spice Girls the world could take before it finally snapped.
