This week on Second Chance Cinema, MC and Spro blast off with Jason X, the wonderfully ridiculous tenth entry in the Friday the 13th franchise. Watched alongside our friend Conor, the movie sends Jason Voorhees into space, surrounds him with soldiers, scientists, an android, and plenty of futuristic victims, and somehow manages to become what might actually be the third-best Jason movie in the entire long, celebrated (or perhaps not-so-celebrated) series.

Things take an unexpected turn when we begin imagining a very different ending: What if the nanotechnology had actually fixed Jason? What if it restored him as a completely ordinary man, played by Steve Carell, who suddenly had to live with the trauma and guilt of ten movies’ worth of murder? Come for the liquid-nitrogen kills, stay for the accidental dramatic reinvention of Jason Voorhees, and be sure to stick around for bonus content at the end.

This week on Second Chance Cinema, MC and Spro check into Hotel Artemis, the 2018 crime thriller where Los Angeles is thirsty, criminals have health insurance, and Jodie Foster runs an exclusive members-only hospital for people who absolutely cannot call 911.

With a ridiculously good cast: Sterling K. Brown, Dave Bautista, Sofia Boutella, Charlie Day, Jeff Goldblum, and Zachary Quinto. Hotel Artemis has all the ingredients of a cult classic. A great premise. A strange near-future world. Criminals with code names. Dave Bautista as a "healthcare professional." What more could you possibly need?

So why did this thing mostly disappear?

We talk about what works (damn near everything), what doesn’t (the robbery masks), and whether we ourselves would trust it. Hotel Artemis deserves another night’s stay. Check it out.

This week on Second Chance Cinema, MC and Spro head into the snowy woods to revisit A Simple Plan — the quiet, brutal thriller from Sam Raimi that proves greed can destroy absolutely everybody. The guys break down the performances from Bill Paxton, Billy Bob Thornton, and Bridget Fonda, discuss why this might be Raimi’s most mature film, and ask the big question: if you found millions of dollars buried in the woods... would you keep it?

Along the way, MC and Spro spiral into conversations about bad decisions, human nature, whether life ever actually goes “according to plan,” and how one tiny compromise can snowball into total disaster. Plus: a ridiculous song parody, philosophical debates, and the kind of moral panic only Second Chance Cinema can deliver.

Sometimes the simplest plan is the one that ruins everything. #SecondChanceCinema #ASimplePlan #SamRaimi #BillPaxton #BillyBobThornton #BridgetFonda #MoviePodcast #FilmPodcast #Cinema #90sMovies #ThrillerMovies #NeoNoir #FilmDiscussion #MovieReview #PodcastLife #MCandSpro #TrueCrimeVibes #DarkComedy #MovieLovers #FilmFans
