    This week we're talking about the Sandman, no not the Neil Gaiman Netflix show but Adam Sandler. It's undeniable that Sandler has built a lengthy career in Hollywood although the quality of that career is up for discussion. On today's episode Jamie and Rory discuss one of the more unique (albeit oft-forgotten) of Sander's oeuvre; 2006's Click. What begins as a very by-the-numbers Sander comedy about a man who gifted a universal remote that let's him...well, control his universe, this movie takes a SHARP turn around the middle portion of the film that transforms it into a completely different movie. Do these two halves coexist? Does one impact the other? Let's find out!

  • The Seven Year Itch

    The Seven Year Itch
    Feb 12 2026
    On the latest episode of Second Take Cinema we're taking a look at this Marilyn Monroe-led classic. Directed by Billy Wilder and based on a stage play, this movie features the iconic Marilyn Monroe white dress scene and became a part of pop culture, however the director had a lot of regret about the movie, feeling it had been held back by the restrictive Hayes Code at the time. Jamie and Rory look back at it and see how it plays in a modern age.

    Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy
    Feb 5 2026
    It's a controversial episode this week folks as the boys take a look at Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy. Whilst this film is widely likely and has a pretty good reputation, it didn't sit well with Jamie who is extra grumpy on this episode on account of being very unwell. The boys discuss the movie and try to articulate what they liked and didn't like about the movie and Jamie airs his beef with Will Ferrell.

  • Scream (1996)

    Scream (1996)
    Jan 22 2026
    A franchise built on parodying existing franchises, 1996's Scream was a much needed shot in the arm for the very tired and essentially dead slasher genre when it released and it introduced the world to one of the most iconic slasher's in cinema history in Ghostface alongside one of its most iconic final girls with Neve Campbell's Sydney Prescott. But how does the original Scream hold up today, after all of these years (and sequels)? Jamie and Rory discuss it in this new episode of Second Take Cinema!

  • Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan

    Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan
    Jan 15 2026
    Widely recognised as having saved the Star Trek franchise from certain doom, The Wrath Of Khan finds its strength in being a film that strips back its budget and instead relies on tight scripting, iconic (if over-the-top) performances and escalating tension and winds up with a more successful outcome than its predecessor. How does it hold up all of these years later though?

  • The Wolf of Wall Street

    The Wolf of Wall Street
    Jan 8 2026
    Telling the true story of Jordan Belmont and the schemes that earned him the titular moniker, this is our first visit back to Martin Scorsese-land since we covered Goodfellas right back at the beginning of the show. Will this movie fare better with Rory than Goodfellas did? The boys discuss the film and the moral implications associated with telling this sort of story, which seems to thread through a lot of Scorsese's work.
