Redshirt Cinema Club

The truth is, we are watching Iron Man...

Listeners, it's time for a reboot. For Edward Norton to become Mark Ruffalo. For Andrew Garfield to become Tom Holland. For us to have a vision, a quest for the podcast once again.

It's time for Redshirt versus the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In what we're enigmatically calling Phase Three of the podcast, we’ll be rewatching the biggest movie phenomenon of all time from its inception to the Avengers’ first Assembling. Get ready for tons of cultural context, egregious Stan-Splaining, lots of realising we’re older than we used to be, and a weekly check-in on just how full our Marvel fandom Infinity Gauntlets are getting. Let’s get started with, Iron Man.

Welcome Redshirt team, to the final pre-MCU comic book episode before we dive into the world of The Avengers, singularly and collectively.

This week, it's Dave's pick, and he has chosen Constantine - although it proves to be more of a case of Constantin-terruptions as Nath and Rob lead us astray (or should that be ashtray?).
Don't hold your breath for this one (though weirdly, we do. Really).

Hello and welcome to Redshirt Cinema Club, a weekly podcast Bat-transmitting from the Batcave.

That’s right, a few short episodes after our trip to Christopher Nolan’s Gotham City, we’re back with the Dark Knight thanks to Rob’s choice for pre-MCU superhero viewing. Which is… Tim Burton’s Batman Returns, featuring a rogue’s gallery of Catwoman, The Penguin, and some guy making a reverse power station? How dare they?

Hello and welcome to Redshirt Cinema Club, a podcast about fandom and watching movies with friends. We’re about to tackle the big one - the MCU.

The biggest movies, the most fervent fandoms, opinions so divisive they could probably splint a continent in half and sink the entire West coast of America. Which, coincidentally, is Lex Luthor’s plan in Superman: The Movie - the film we’re watching today to kick off our three-part mini series of pre-MCU superhero flicks before we take on the main event.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s a podcast.
