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 did?
What will we make of this awkward, occasionally magical movie? Is this one of Steven Spielberg's rare misses? And how did Peter Pan decide to run away if he was just a baby? Seriously though, because he couldn't walk, or even understand about growing up at that point, and how did he stop being a baby one he got to Neverland?
We have questions.

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 Schwarzenegger.
What will we make of this universally lauded action landmark? How will it fit into our ongoing discussions about machine sentience and artificial life? And what on earth are Rob and Nathan bickering about?

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.

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 returning Sam Neill as Alan Grant prevent both this new gang of hapless humans from being eaten and also this movie from being rubbish? Let's find out!

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 everyone that chaos will ensue.
Chaos ensues.
Join us as we discuss whether this is rubbish!

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 why, after all this time, does nobody care about Dodgson?

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 us... actually like this film now? Even though it's sentimental, overly self-aware, and Neo can't kick as high as he used to.

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 why two members of the Redshirt Cinema Club somehow prefer this to Reloaded.

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?!

How do you follow the most iconic sci-fi action movie of all time? By building an actual freeway to stage an elaborate reaction set piece, making your hero fly and then having him fight 100 Hugo Weavings. Does The Matrix Reloaded deliver where it counts however? Get ready for some OPINIONS.

We're unplugging from the real world and diving into The Matrix over the next few weeks, starting with the breathtaking 1999 original that changed the course of action cinema forever. How will it hold up 25 years on? Was Cypher right? Why am I me, and not someone else? We tackle all of these questions and more in today's episode!

Before we dive into our next series, this week we're pausing to reflect on fandom and the effect it's had on our lives. Has fandom shaped our sense of identity? Do we physically display our fandoms, and look for communities of like minded people? Are there fandoms we've forgotten and rediscovered? Please share your own stories with us!

As is becoming tradition, we're taking a breath this week and plunging our heads into the mailbag before we set out on an adventure in a far away galaxy. As always, we've been sent some excellent observations, anecdotes and conversation starters from all around the world. Prepare to laugh, gasp, and strongly disagree!

Our David Lynch mini-season comes to a close with 2001's Hollywood nightmare, Mulholland Dr.
Like Twin Peaks, Mulholland Dr started life as a pilot for an ABC TV series, but became a self-contained puzzle of a film when that pilot was rejected.
The resulting movie is part-Cinderalla story, part noir throwback, and part artful commentary on the power dynamics and hidden spaces of the dream factory of Hollywood.
What will Rob and Dave make of one of Nath's favourite films ever? Listen to find out!

Our journey through the works of David Lynch brings us to Twin Peaks, the hit 1990 TV phenomenon that's influenced everything from Alan Wake to Stranger Things and still loved and talked about 35 years on. The thing Lynch made, alongside writer Mark Frost, around which a genuine fandom was born - people travel to the real life Great Northern Hotel for coffee and cherry pie. But what will we make of it? Let's find out!

Our season celebrating and exploring the films of David Lynch continues with 1986's Blue Velvet.
What a pairing with last week's film, Dune - the same director, star, and producer bring us a film of vastly different scope, and unique perspective.
Blue Velvet is the story of a young man's involvement with a mystery, a dreamy love story interrupted by the rich textures of a sensual nightmare. It's unlike anything we've watched on the podcast before - join us as we venture into the unknown!

Join us as we begin a new season of David Lynch movies with 1984's Dune.
Dune has already featured in the podcast, as part of the creative tangle that helped define sci-fi cinema in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and saw the inception of Alien and Blade Runner. Now, as we embark upon a mini-series focused on the works of the recently passed David Lynch, we're watching Dune itself.
Let's be real - Nath is in his element, Dave is up for the challenge, and Rob doesn't have a clue what's happening. Hold on, it's only going to get stranger...

It's gone. It's done.
We complete our journey through Middle-earth with The Battle Of The Five Armies, a film Rob has never seen, and Nathan wouldn't mind having never seen. Listen, the chances of us suddenly loving the Hobbit movies and this becoming a triumphant ending are slim to none. But... climactic things are in the air. Armies are marching. Deep lore is waking from its slumber. Somewhere, the eagles are doing some stretches. Maybe, just maybe, we'll come out of this with more fondness for the Hobbit trilogy than we came in with.
