An Episode of Second Chances

Welcome to this bisected episode where in the first part--

Upon reflection, MC and Spro realized that they didn't do their newest segment called 5 Questions for The Punisher: War Zone. So, for a quick opening, they fix that error which gives MC more time to rant against the "ammo-sexuals" (as he calls them) that use the logo to symbolize something The Punisher wouldn't stand for. 

In the second part--

MC and Spro catch-up with their pal (and Review Reader) Rudy who just got done returning to the stage in Available Light's Production of You Will Get Sick in Columbus, OH. Listeners will get to know one of MC and Spro's favorite people on a higher level, and listen to one man's advice on how to keep the spark alive for the thing you're passionate about. 

Enjoy this very special episode of Second Chance Cinema!

The Punisher: War Zone

Punisher: War Zone is a 2008 vigilante action-thriller film based on the Marvel Comics character the Punisher, directed by Lexi Alexander. Rather than a sequel to 2004's The Punisher, the film is a reboot that follows the war waged by vigilante Frank Castle / Punisher (Ray Stevenson) on crime and corruption, in particular on the disfigured mob boss known as Billy "Jigsaw" Russotti (Dominic West).^[6] It is the third feature film adaptation of The Punisher, the second reboot thereof and the first of two films to be produced under the Marvel Knights production banner, which focuses on films for mature audiences. Punisher: War Zone was released in North America by Lionsgate on December 5, 2008, and it was released in the United Kingdom by Sony Pictures Releasing on February 6, 2009 to negative reviews and grossed $10 million worldwide, making it a box-office bomb. Its related soundtrack hit the #23 slot on Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart.

It was the final Punisher film to be produced by an outside studio before the rights reverted to Marvel Studios, with Stevenson reprising his role as Castle in The Super Hero Squad Show. A television series was later released on Netflix in 2017 and is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Power/Rangers

For the first time in Second Chance Cinema history, MC and Spro sat down together to watch a film and then hopped right on the mics to talk about it. Maybe it's because this film is only 11 minutes long. But, despite how short it is, it truly packs a punch. 

If you want to watch it with them, you can find Power/Rangers here:

Power/Rangers, or Power Rangers: Unauthorized, is an American superhero fan short film based on the Power Rangers franchise, and was directed and co-written by Joseph Kahn, produced by Adi Shankar and Jil Hardin, and co-written by James Van Der Beek and Dutch Southern. The short film featured an ensemble cast starring Katee Sackhoff, Van Der Beek, Russ Bain, Will Yun Lee, and Gichi Gamba. It was released on YouTube and Vimeo on February 23, 2015.

Without a Paddle

In 2004, amongst other comedies like Road Trip, Eurotrip, Grandma's Boy, Super Troopers came this comedy starring Dax Shephard, Seth Green and Matthew Lillard that started amazingly and then went... a little off the rails. Jeremy joins MC and Spro for this episode to talk A LOT about Poop, Friendship and how Without a Paddle could have been the basis for Stand By Me 2.

Basic (2003)

MC and Spro continue Year 6 with one of Spro's most liked under-the-radar films.

Basic reunites John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson on the screen for the first time since their Pulp Fiction days. Critics hated this film because they didn't understand it, but Spro hopes to explain it so the SCC audience can grasp how John McTiernan's (Die Hard) last film isn't filled with twists and turns but rather just manipulative lies. 

This episode proves that Basic isn't complicated. It's as simple as this grammatically incorrect statement:

Wings is bad.

The Good Son

Episode Description--

At the height of Macaulay Culkin's Home Alone fame, his father strong-armed the studios to let his son star as the villain opposite Elijah Wood in this 10-year-olds vs each other Thriller masterpiece.

MC and Spro are back for their sixth year to explore a universe where Elijah's dad has to go hijack Alcatraz, what makes a cigarette safe for a preteen, and who is probably the worst cinematic psychiatrist of all time? 

Welcome to Year 6!
