It's a prequels episode, with Prometheus in the firing line. Ridley Scott's Alien prequel, starring Michael Fassbender & Charlize Theron was released in 2012 and never quite lived up to expectation. Joe & Adam, in this episode, discuss why the film doesn't really work, why the original Alien is great, and how people imagine the future.

69: Gladiator 2, plus Rotten Tomatoes’ Best of 25 Years
It’s an Off To the Cinema special (aka a non-essential filler episode), as Joe gets his special wish: to see Ridley Scott‘s Gladiator II with his best bud Adam. He loves everything about the original, and had high hopes for the follow-up starring Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington and Pedro Pescal.
It didn’t go well, and Joe shares his lamentations about the film’s failures.
Plus, there’s a bit of afters about Rotten Tomatoes Best Films of the Last 25 Years list.
This is not a film that Adam forgot he forgot. Clearly. This is all on Joe, Quentin Tarantino’s seminal, iconic, zeitgeist-changing, comically violent crime flick from 1994.
Starring John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman and Ving Rhames, it’s a flick of unforgettable moments and seared-in-the-mind dialogue. Not for Joe though.
The duo chat violence in movies, post-modernism, what a great film it is, Tarantino’s baffling insistence on appearing in his own films, and getting waylaid by foot massages along the journey.

67: Almost Famous, Nostalgia and Invisible Sad Boys
The Cameron Crowe directed 2000 nostalgia music flick about a band on the run, starring Kate Hudson, Billy Crudup and Patrick Fugit, and featuring the late great Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Joe & Adam dig into director’s cuts, the fine differences between nostalgia for a general past time versus a nostalgia for being young (with added Chat-GPT for clarity/confusion), and this film’s missing heart of darkness.

Welcome to the home of forgotten films. Each week, Joe Devine & Adam Richmond discuss a different film that they’ve seen before, but forgotten existed. They discuss cinema, memory, culture and history - as well as play silly games about cheese, budgets, and re-casting.
Listeners needn’t have seen the film, but are welcome to watch (or re-watch) before episodes for a different perspective. And at the end of each show, Adam & Joe read out forgotten film lists to each other, to find the film that becomes the focus for next week’s episode.
