Original Remake episodes

  • Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
    In 1992 a sequel to a huge holiday hit just needed to change the villains method of thievery from wet to sticky.

    Ignore the above description of HOME ALONE 2: LOST IN NEW YORK... we assure you that this is a family friendly film. Presumably certified as such by existing on the Disney+ platform until the end of time.

    On this episode we discuss sequels essentially serving as a remake by doing a cinematic version of jumping the shark in a very special vacation episode where Macaulay Culkin travels to New York to meet up with his old punching bags Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern. Along the way all three are disgusted by a lady covered in bird poop. Happy holidays!

  • Home Alone
    In 1990 moviegoers learned how to call a small child "incompetent" in French.

    And then the world would know Kevin McCallister's wrath... or at the very least Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern who got a bit too handsy with Christmas goods.

    Among other crimes.

    On this episode one host looks upon with horror as he continues to procreate while the childless host looks on in equal horror at what he's done. Then we enjoy a holiday classic with the Chris Columbus directed original in the HOME ALONE cinematic universe.

  • Justice League 2017 and 2021
    It's 2021 and there's a new cut of JUSTICE LEAGUE and a new SUICIDE SQUAD...

    ...so everyone must be happy, right? WRONG says Dave of YOUR LIST, MY COMMAND.

    However his co-host Derek (of the much better THE GRAND GESTURE podcast) calls ZACK SNYDER'S JUSTICE LEAGUE "better than my own child."

    Which extreme opinion do you fancy? Find out by listening to an awful lot of debate over funny books on film in our episode on the two Justice Leagues.

  • Mortal Kombat 1995 and 2021
    It's a fight to the death between two Mortal Kombat movies that are not Annihilation.

    For an episode on video game movies we have to bring on a real dork in Jared of SOBER CINEMA. As he speaks with us from the comfort of his gaming chair some important matters discussed in the world of MORTAL KOMBAT:

    • Is using Liu Kang poor form among friends?
    • How about selecting him as your champion to wield against people you despise?
    • Such as maybe a coworker who is an animal and plays with Reptile?
    • Also we get around to discussing the first feature film adaptation from 1995 and the new HBO Max joint. Because Liu Kang needs no defending.

    • The Apartment and Wicker Park

      David Giannini has unfortunately started a new podcast called OFF SCREEN DEATH.

      That's bad.

      But his co-host is the co-host of this show, Mike Denniston.

      That's good.

      However as part of the promotional tour for OFF SCREEN DEATH (that's the name of the new movie podcast that is half good and half bad) Dave is the guest on this episode for THE APARTMENT and WICKER PARK.

      That's bad.

      But the episode is good. We promise. We make fun of Josh Hartnett's hair, Matthew Lillard's face and feud over rights to love Rose Byrne all before Mike starts talking about large breasts in French cinema.

      It's more good than bad. Enjoy!

    • Manhunter and Red Dragon

      Jairo of MARK AS PLAYED joins the show to suggest that while Ralph Fiennes is no body builder... his version of a serial killer is still "a touch on the sexy side."

      This is just the beginning of disagreement as Mike defends the honor of ORIGINAL REMAKE by siding with Michael Mann's version of this Hannibal Lector adjacent story in MANHUNTER and our idiot guest sides with Brett Ratner.

      Not just RED DRAGON but Brett Ratner. And that's not even mentioning the tiger penis sequence... though our guest does. Repeatedly. Enjoy!

    • Reboot: ADDAMS FAMILY REUNION

      No one asked for this. But Peter drinks a beer and ADDAMS FAMILY REUNION ends up on ORIGINAL REMAKE... and also a VHS ripped copy on YouTube if you really hate your family that much over the Thanksgiving holiday. Thankfully the true holiday classic is up next in ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES!

      Stick with us. Please.

    • Remake: THE ADDAMS FAMILY (2019)

      We take Charlize Theron in any form... even as a cartoon. We can't say the same for Nick Kroll in this version of THE ADDAMS FAMILY from 2019.

      But then again even Mr. Kroll's family won't take him over The Great Charlize. Enjoy other hot takes by listening to the latest episode of ORIGINAL REMAKE!

    • Original: THE ADDAMS FAMILY (1991)

      Getting yourself in the mood for the Halloween season is easy if one tries to emulate the passion shared between Raul Julia and Angelica Huston's respective versions of Gomez and Morticia Addams. And while one host was really into the attacking of Christmas carolers and sword-fighting sunshine that dares to enter the marital bed of this great couple... the other was glad that the filmmakers decided to cut away before that passion went too far.

      But there is no cutting away on Original Remake. Enjoy a month of THE ADDAMS FAMILY as we begin with the 1991 feature film adaptation!
