No Context Cinema Club

Kev & Rob

No Context Cinema Club is a comedy film podcast where famous movies are rewritten from scratch, without ever being watched. Each episode, one host attempts a full movie rewrite based purely on the title, armed with only vague clues and zero context. What follows is a completely improvised story that often spirals into something wildly different from the original film. Blending comedy podcast chaos with funny film critique, film discussion and creative storytelling, every episode ends with the rewrite being scored for coherence, entertainment and originality. The results feed into a live leaderboard where listeners can vote and decide which movie rewrites deserve to rise to the top, and which should be forgotten entirely. If you enjoy comedy podcasts, movie podcasts, movie rewrites, and fun film discussions with a completely original twist, No Context Cinema Club delivers something genuinely different. New episodes weekly.

In this episode of No Context Cinema Club – a comedy film podcast and movie rewrite podcast – Rob rewrites Bicentennial Man as a dark mystery thriller starring Robbie Williams as two estranged brothers, with Sam Neill making an appearance as a doctor. The film begins on New Year’s Eve, 31st December 2000, when identical twins are born just minutes apart. One arrives before midnight, the other just after, making them brothers born in two different centuries. Their extraordinary birth makes headlines, turning Richard and Dominic into minor celebrities before they can even walk.

If you enjoy movie podcasts, comedy podcasts, psychological thrillers, mystery films, identity swaps, unreliable narrators, sibling rivalries and completely ridiculous film pitches treated with absolute seriousness, this episode transforms the Robin Williams sci-fi drama Bicentennial Man into a dark, twisted tale of family, obsession and mistaken identity. Has Rob finally created a genuinely compelling psychological thriller worthy of the big screen… or just found an elaborate excuse to cast Robbie Williams twice and make Kev endure another bungalow?

    Green Book reimagined - please drive safely everybody (ep. 36)

    Send us Fan Mail What if Green Book wasn’t about a pianist and his driver travelling through the Deep South… but Kenan and Kel trying to raise enough money to bring Good Burger back from the dead? In this episode of No Context Cinema Club – a comedy film podcast and movie rewrite podcast – Rob rewrites Green Book as a chaotic road trip comedy starring Kenan Thompson, Kel Mitchell and Viggo Mortensen, built around a mysterious green address book, a million-dollar business idea and a series of increasingly disastrous attempts to find an investor. The film begins in Chicago, where Kenan and Kel decide they want to revive Good Burger. The former owner is willing to sell them the rights to the brand, but there’s one fairly significant problem. He wants one million dollars. Naturally, they set off on a road trip to find them. Expect: • Kenan and Kel trying to raise a million dollars to revive Good Burger • A mysterious green book full of supposedly wealthy contacts • Kel facing the ultimate choice between orange soda and a scratch card • A last-minute dash to claim a potentially life-changing prize • A road trip that becomes considerably more complicated once elements of the real Green Book start creeping into it After the rewrite is locked in, Kev scores the film for coherence, entertainment and originality, feeding into the show’s live leaderboard – and delivers one of the most hostile reviews Rob has received so Get in touch Got a film we have to re-write?

    3:10 To Yuma reimagined - humour may have been abandoned (ep. 35)

    Send us Fan Mail What if 3:10 to Yuma wasn’t about a rancher escorting a notorious outlaw to a train… but an abandoned Arizona ghost town, a mysterious creature lurking beneath its mines and a century-old plan involving a train full of dynamite? In this episode of No Context Cinema Club – a comedy film podcast and movie rewrite podcast – Rob rewrites 3:10 to Yuma as a sci-fi horror mystery that swaps the Wild West for a modern-day investigation into something buried deep beneath the Arizona desert. The film begins with Frank, a conspiracy theorist who believes the government is hiding the truth about Yuma, an abandoned mining town surrounded by a heavily fortified fence. The official explanation is unstable mines, but local rumours suggest the fence was built to keep something in rather than keep people out. When Frank breaks into the town to investigate, he disappears. Expect: • A deserted Wild West mining town with a very suspicious fence  • An inquisitive explorer who disappears after entering an abandoned saloon  • Historical reports of missing miners, unexplained attacks and something enormous lurking underground  • Russell Crowe as notorious outlaw Ben Wade, involved in an ill-fated plan to blow up the mines  • Christian Bale operating military drones with considerably more success than the original 3:10 departure  • A terrifying underground investigation involving body cameras, strange eggs and disappearing police officers  • A modern-day attempt to finish what the townspeople started over a century ago After the rewrite is locked in, Kev scores the film for coherence, entertainment and originality, feeding into the show's live leaderboard. If you enjoy movie podcasts, comedy podcasts, sci-fi horror, creature features, mystery thrillers, Western films, abandoned ghost towns, alien monsters and completely ridiculous film pitches treated with absolute seriousness, this episode turns a classic Russell Crowe and Christian Bale Western into a terrifying underground nightmare. Has Rob created a genuinely compelling sci-fi horror mystery that gives 3:10 to Yuma an entirely new meaning… or just invented the world's most elaborate argument for leaving abandoned mines well alone?

    Trainspotting reimagined - Operation Proceed Directly to the Intravenous Injection of Hard Drugs (ep.34)

    Send us Fan Mail What if Trainspotting wasn’t about heroin addiction in Edinburgh… but a zombie-ravaged Britain, an armoured railway and a plan to stop Europe reclaiming the country? In this episode of No Context Cinema Club – a comedy film podcast and movie rewrite podcast – Rob rewrites Trainspotting as a post-apocalyptic zombie action film set twenty years after Britain was abandoned. Europe returns with a plan to clear the country using heavily armed trains designed to lure zombies towards the railway. But the survivors who have spent two decades rebuilding Britain have no intention of handing it back. Expect: • Armoured trains packed with weapons and speakers • Survivors living in fortified enclaves • Thousands of zombies deliberately gathered beside the railway • A captured train sent back towards the European base • Some very literal train spotting After the rewrite, Kev scores the film for coherence, entertainment and originality. If you enjoy movie podcasts, comedy podcasts, zombie films, post-apocalyptic stories and ridiculous movie rewrites treated with complete seriousness, this episode turns Trainspotting into a battle for Britain’s railways.

    The Shawshank Redemption reimagined - where have all the passengers gone? (ep. 33)

    Send us Fan Mail What if The Shawshank Redemption wasn’t about a man serving life in prison… but five travel bloggers trapped overnight inside a remote hotel where every room seems designed to kill them? In this episode of No Context Cinema Club – a comedy film podcast and movie rewrite podcast – Rob rewrites The Shawshank Redemption as a psychological horror thriller set inside the isolated Shawshank Hotel in British Columbia. Five travel bloggers are invited separately to the grand opening of a newly renovated luxury hotel, each believing they’ve been chosen because of their online following. What they don’t know is that every one of them has previously left a brutal review of another hotel owned by the same man. When they arrive, there are no staff. Instead, they’re told to help themselves to drinks, explore the hotel and wait for a presentation at 8pm. Then the doors lock. Expect: • Five travel bloggers with a suspiciously specific connection to the hotel owner • Corridors filled with apparent tripwires and deadly traps • Swinging knives, overheating kitchens and collapsing stairwells • A swimming pool that appears to have transformed into a crocodile-filled swamp • A final reveal that completely changes what the audience thinks they’ve been watching After the rewrite is locked in, Kev scores the film for coherence, entertainment and originality, feeding into the show’s live leaderboard. If you enjoy movie podcasts, comedy podcasts, horror thrillers, psychological mysteries, unreliable perspectives, bad hotels and completely ridiculous film pitches treated with absolute seriousness, this episode turns The Shawshank Redemption into one very strange night at the Shawshank Hotel.

    Forrest Gump reimagined - I won't judge you against the 75 IQ president (ep. 32)

    Send us Fan Mail What if Forrest Gump wasn’t about one extraordinary man drifting through decades of American history… but three elections, three versions of the same man and a lifelong attempt to finally win something? In this episode of No Context Cinema Club – a comedy film podcast and movie rewrite podcast – Rob rewrites Forrest Gump as a political drama following Forrest through three completely different stages of his life, with all three stories unfolding alongside each other. As a child in Alabama, Forrest runs for class president.Years later, he runs to become mayor of his hometown.And decades after that, against almost impossible odds, Forrest Gump runs for President of the United States.The scale changes dramatically but the problems don’t. Expect: • Three election campaigns playing out across Forrest’s life • A school bully trying to frighten him out of running for class president • Political advisers repeatedly telling Forrest to choose popularity over loyalty • Bribes, donors and increasingly serious versions of the same moral compromises • A mayoral campaign where Forrest decides to reveal his own mistakes before somebody else can • A presidential campaign threatened by something considerably more serious than bad polling • Three televised debates and one very inconvenient habit of completely freezing under pressure After the rewrite is locked in, Kev scores the film for coherence, entertainment and originality, feeding into the show’s live leaderboard. If you enjoy movie podcasts, comedy podcasts, political dramas, underdog stories, parallel timelines, inspirational speeches and completely ridiculous film pitches treated with absolute seriousness, this episode turns Forrest Gump into the unlikely story of a man who spends his entire life running for something. Has Rob created an uplifting political drama about loyalty, honesty and learning from failure… or somehow invented a presidential candidate whose greatest campaign strategy is occasionally remembering to answer the question?

    The Devil's Advocate reimagined - it's just oven mitts all the way down (ep. 31)

    Send us Fan Mail What if The Devil’s Advocate wasn’t about a young lawyer being tempted by Satan… but a famous defence attorney whose impossible courtroom victories hide something far darker? In this episode of No Context Cinema Club – a comedy film podcast and movie rewrite podcast – Rob rewrites The Devil’s Advocate as a crime thriller about New York’s most notorious lawyer, a man famous for defending defendants everyone else already believes are guilty. The film opens outside a New York courthouse, where the trial of the year is about to begin. The evidence against the accused appears overwhelming. But the case has attracted national attention because of the man defending him. A lawyer the American press has nicknamed… "The Devil’s Advocate." He has built his career taking apparently impossible murder cases and finding reasonable doubt where nobody else can. He doesn’t need to prove what happened. He only needs to convince a jury that something else might have. And somehow, he usually wins. Expect: • Keanu Reeves as a defence lawyer with an almost unbelievable courtroom record • Murder cases that seem completely impossible to defend • A spectacularly questionable reasonable-doubt courtroom trick • A distinctive pair of gloves that become much more important than they first appear • Anonymous photographs suggesting somebody has been watching for a very long time • A lawyer suddenly performing very differently when one case becomes dangerously personal After the rewrite is locked in, Kev scores the film for coherence, entertainment and originality, feeding into the show’s live leaderboard. If you enjoy movie podcasts, comedy podcasts, crime thrillers, courtroom dramas, serial killer mysteries, legal arguments and completely ridiculous film pitches treated with absolute seriousness, this episode turns The Devil’s Advocate into a story about reasonable doubt, notoriety and a lawyer who might know far more about his cases than he should. Has Rob created a dark psychological thriller about the ethics of defending the indefensible… or a legal system held together by oven mitts and increasingly questionable courtroom procedure?
