Join us as we continue our journey through the Alien series with Alien 3. David Fincher's 1992 film is dark and divisive. Following a difficult production, the film reviewed badly and disappointed fans of the more cohesive Alien and Aliens. Over time the film has developed a sympathetic cult following of ardent supporters - but will Nath, Rob, and Dave be among them? Listen to find out!Join the Redshirt Cinema Club!

It's Dave's last chance. One final double bill of Doctor Who. One last attempt at drawing out the Whovian we're convinced lurks within. Can Jodie Whittaker's Doctor swoop in and save the day? This Bond-inspired romp is unlike any Who we've watched so far, featuring car chases, globe-trotting set pieces and Lenny Henry. What will Dave make of it?Join the Redshirt Cinema Club!

It's Dave's turn! After three months of forcing Rob to watch Star Trek the eye of fandom turns on our former captain - it's time to show Dave some Doctor Who. We're starting this week with two episodes from the Christoper Eccleston era - 'Rose' and 'Dalek'.
