For our 50th episode, we compare the similarities in THE TRUMAN SHOW and EDTV and for the first time, answer listener feedback! Thanks again to everyone that has supported us!
We are joined by the crew of the You Don't Know Ish podcast for a trip through space and time to compare Ridley Scott's much loved classic ALIEN and his not so loved return in PROMETHEUS. Along the way we discover a shared love for Michael Fassbender's prankster robot, why Charlize Theron would not be a top fantasy football draft pick, and the true nature of horror in the shape of a penis. Enjoy!

On this episode film critic Alice Bishop joins us at the lovely Civil War era bed and breakfast as found in the 1971 and 2017 film version of THE BEGUILED. We discuss the differences in seeing Colin Farrell and action and western icon Clint Eastwood in a state of vulnerability and how one increases the horror of the situation in these similarly plotted films. The accusation of whitewashing in the new Sofia Coppola version is discussed as is the different interests between her and the original's director Don Siegel. All in all its a lovely time where we exchange mushroom recipes.
ALSO: Our friendship survives a minor disagreement on the merits of Blake Lively in shark flicks.

Inspired by the recent release of Spider-man: Homecoming, Peter is joined by Chris Braaten from the More Gooder Than Podcast to discuss and compare Sam Raimi's Spider-man and Marc Webb's reboot from 2014. Along with talks about Willem Dafoe's cheekbones, there's also some love given to Arnold and some of his classics.

On this episode we turn to a baby podcaster himself, Dan of Get Reel Movies, a film site that caters to millenials. We ask him his take on Edgar Wright's version of the stoic getaway driver in BABY DRIVER, under the assumption that the hosts of this show are just too damn old to get it. However a love for Ryan Gosling and the film DRIVE knows no age barriers as we rave about that film and then get into the meat of modern online film criticism: which driver has the best playlist for conducting cool chase sequences?
All of this and we find out that Canadians aren't that nice in the latest episode of ORIGINAL REMAKE.
ALSO: Be sure to check out Dan's interview with DRIVE screenwriter Hossein Amini on his podcast GET REEL MOVIES.

For this much Cruise on this episode of ORIGINAL REMAKE, we have to bring on a fellow Tom Cruise enthusiast and a man who understands the need for speed in Jason Michael from ATLANTIC SCREEN CONNECTION. We discuss the glory days of star power without the need for a franchise, even if TOP GUN and DAYS OF THUNDER share so many similarities they could almost be about the same character. Of course the music, mentors, and ridiculously named rivals change. So join us as we decide if we like our Cruise delivered by ground or air!
Anticipating Tom Cruise's new MUMMY movie, Peter invites Jon of Now In Technicolor to discuss and compare Boris Karloff in 1932's THE MUMMY and the loosely based remake in 1999 with Brendan Fraser.
In this epsisode, Michael sits out and Peter is joined by Hannah of the Film Roast Podcast to discuss and compare the 1974 tv movie starring Cathy Lee Crosby and the unaired pilot from 2011 starring Adrianne Palicki. They also give their thoughts on expectations of the upcoming 2017 movie starring Gal Gadot.
Being mostly unsatisfied with the weekly reboot and clones that Hollywood presents us every week we head to space to find our own in two older films: Duncan Jones' MOON from 2009 and Joseph Kosinski's OBLIVION from 2013. Can multiple Sam Rockwells take on the star power of Tom Cruise? Which A.I. do we want to take orders from, Kevin Spacey or Melissa Leo? And is there something to be appreciated in a copy? We certainly hope so on that last question as that's the premise of this podcast.
On this episode we celebrate (?) the old fashioned format of video for the video release of RINGS which came out earlier this year... not that anyone noticed. But guest Alice Bishop did! And we discuss this reboot of the original remake THE RING from 2002, which carries on the tradition of this franchise always being slightly behind the times from a technology standpoint and better uses of the idea such as 2015's IT FOLLOWS. This episode may sound pretty negative but it includes one of my favorite live cover performance, so there's that.
