  • Ace Ventura: Pet Detective

    Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
    Sep 26 2024
    Delving into one of Rory's favourites this week, the boys review 1994's Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. One of the movies that catapulted Jim Carrey to his dominant status over movie comedies in the 90s, the film is a personal favourite of Rory's but not remembered fondly by Jamie. Add in the problematic nature of the films final moments and one has to ask how Ace Ventura: Pet Detective plays in todays world.

    12 Angry Men
    Sep 12 2024
    12 Angry Men gets reviewed by...2 Angry Men, I guess. This black and white classic has been a part of pop culture since it first arrived on the scene and is a film Rory has long waited to discuss on the show. Jamie finally relents and the pair engage in discussion this critically acclaimed film. Do the jurors actually break the justice system? Does the film deserve its sterling reputation? And could you make a modern version of this same story or is it truly a product of its time? Find out, on Second Take Cinema!

  • The Girl Next Door

    The Girl Next Door
    Sep 5 2024
    Jamie and Rory delve into this 2004 comedy that they both missed on initial release but Jamie saw in 2022 and became temporarily obsessed with (watching it 6 times). It's a weird jumble of a film that probably shouldn't work and yet somehow does. It also has what is undeniably one of the best performances of Timothy Olyphant's career.
