Hello and welcome to Redshirt Cinema Club, a podcast about fandom and watching movies with friends. So when you’ve just finished watching a massive series of superhero movies, and it’s nearly Halloween, and one of your three hosts hasn’t seen a particular beloved 80s classic, who you gonna call? The cadence of that was all wrong but, yes, we watched Ghostbusters this week, the 1984 smash hit comedy starring Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd and Sigourney Weaver. Can it make a new fan out of me? Let’s find out! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We've arrived! But where?At the muster station for wayward Marvel superheroes, also known as (genuinely) the biggest thing to happen to cinema since Star Wars. The Avengers is the culmination of an ever-evolving plan for the comic book publisher to make it's own movies, to control its own stable of characters, to give Stan Lee as many screen credits as possible, and to make gigantic stacks of money. It just happens to be really, really good as well. Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, and arrows guy better watch out, because there's an alien army waiting in the middle of space for a magic gate to open to they can invade Earth. And the aliens better watch out, because Earth has been learning self defence. Join the Redshirt Cinema Club!

Film number four in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is Thor, and we've come a long way from Tony Stark's cave in Afghanistan. All the way to Asgard, in fact, as the bounds of the MCU expand even at this early stage to embrace other worlds, mythical beings, and stuff happening somewhere in the gap between endless space and affordable CG. THERE IS A LOT GOING ON. The MCU gets its first supervillain, Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddlestone launch mega careers, a blue box turns up, and Marvel seems to prove once and for all that you can keep making films that are only OK so long as there's another film that might be better just around the corner...Join the Redshirt Cinema Club!

Three episodes into our MCU series and we’ve already got our first sequel - 2010’s Iron Man 2 - which Marvel couldn’t resist making after the success of the original. Robert Downey Jr returns as Tony Stark, facing off against both Mickey Rourke’s Whiplash and the age-old conundrum of what do you do with a superhero after their origin story? You talk about them on a podcast, that’s what. Let’s go!Join the Redshirt Cinema Club!

Hello and welcome to Redshirt Cinema Club, a podcast about fandom and watching movies with friends. We’re doing it! We’re getting through Phase One of the MCU, and today that means our opinion lens is focused on 2008’s The Incredible Hulk, a complicated entry in that it came out mere months after Iron Man, features a star in Edward Norton who never returns to the franchise, and is a sort of sequel but not really to 2003’s Hulk directed by Ang Lee.

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.

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). Join the Redshirt Cinema Club!
