You can’t exactly leave this hospital a Yelp review.
MC and Spro revisit Hotel Artemis, Drew Pearce’s stylish 2018 thriller starring Jodie Foster as “The Nurse,” the agoraphobic manager of a secret Los Angeles hospital built exclusively for criminals.
There are riots outside, assassins in the hallways, stolen diamonds causing problems, Jeff Goldblum being Jeff Goldblum, and Dave Bautista playing an orderly named Everest, which may be one of the most sensible casting decisions in cinematic history.
But underneath the gunfire and neon is a surprisingly melancholy little movie about grief, guilt, loyalty, and people who have spent so long surviving that they’ve forgotten how to live.
Is Hotel Artemis an overlooked gem? A fantastic concept trapped inside an okay movie? Or exactly the kind of strange, ambitious swing that Second Chance Cinema was invented to revisit?

Jason X
MC and Spro revisit Jason X, the infamous sequel that launched Jason Voorhees into space and somehow pulled off its absurd premise. Along the way, they discuss the kills, the science-fiction influences, Uber Jason, and whether this could secretly be one of the franchise’s better installments. Then the conversation goes completely off course as they imagine Jason being cured by nanotechnology and forced to confront his murderous past as a normal man played by Steve Carell. Plus, bonus content after the episode.

A Simple Plan
MC and Spro take on A Simple Plan, the snow-covered neo-noir thriller directed by Sam Raimi and starring Bill Paxton, Billy Bob Thornton, and Bridget Fonda. The hosts discuss the film’s grounded approach to suspense, how ordinary people become trapped by greed, and why the movie still hits so hard decades later.
The episode also features a comedy song parody, a debate over what the hosts would do if they found a bag of cash in the woods, and a broader conversation about whether anyone can truly “plan” their way through life without chaos eventually showing up. Equal parts film analysis, dark humor, and existential crisis — just another day at Second Chance Cinema.
