About this listen

 Impala Films presents Second Take Cinema, a movie review podcast in which indie filmmakers give a second chance to films they've seen previously and try to see the good in the bad, the flaws in the good and see if some films can be improved with minor changes.

  • 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.

  • The Mask

    The Mask
    Jan 1 2026
    1994 remains perhaps the biggest year of Jim Carey's career, seeing the release of 3 of his biggest hits all in one year; Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (see previous STC episode!), Dumb & Dumber and perhaps the most risky of the three ventures: The Mask. Based on a comic book and produced by New Line Cinema, the movie takes the source material in a more comedic direction and blends a weird sense of disturbing fantasy, real-life mundanity and cartoonish comedy under the guiding hand of director Chuck Russell (A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, The Blob). The question is, how does the movie hold up more than thirty years' later?
