Episode 16 - Death Race 2000 & Death Race

The Good, The Bad and The Remake: Movie Podcast ·

2021/04/14

Here at GoodBadRemake, we're conscious of getting up ourselves and using this podcast as an excuse to talk only about prestige pictures. Which is why this week, we're watching two dyed-in-the-wool B-movies. Death Race 2000 - starring David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone - was made in the mid-70s for a pittance and went on to become a cult favourite. Its remake Death Race - starring Jason Statham, Tyrese Gibson and Ian 'Lovejoy' McShane - was made for $45 million, has spawned three sequels so far

Episode 15 - Infernal Affairs & The Departed

The Good, The Bad and The Remake: Movie Podcast ·

2021/04/07

Season two kicks off with two awards big-hitters, winning dozens of international awards between them. Firstly, the smash hit Hong Kong crime film Infernal Affairs, starring megastar actors Tony Chiu-Wai Leung and Andy Lau. This is a fast-paced, slick, exciting cops and robbers thriller, with a uniquely complex hook. It's so good, in fact, that less than five years after it's release, Martin Scorsese remade it with Leonardo di Caprio and Matt Damon in the lead roles, as The Departed. But just

Episode 14 - Sudden Death & Welcome to Sudden Death

The Good, The Bad and The Remake: Movie Podcast ·

2021/01/01

Happy New Year from the GBR team! To ease you into 2021, we've got a brace of action movies to enjoy from the comfort of your sofa. 1995's Sudden Death was one of the last big theatrical outings for Jean-Clause Van Damme and a notable entry in the Die Hard rip-off sub-genre. So it's Die Hard in a Hockey Stadium, with Powers Boothe eating large chunks of the scenery as the Hans Gruber-alike. But however that may sound, its an exciting film that is also pretty funny and includes some highly GIF-able

Episode 13 - Miracle on 34th Street

The Good, The Bad and The Remake: Movie Podcast ·

2020/12/16

Christmas arrives at The Good, The Bad and The Remake offices for real this time, as we watch the two Miracle on 34th Street films. The original, directed in 1947 by George Seaton, is something of a classic, brimming with festive wonder and cheer, as well as getting properly stuck in to questions of mental health, commercialism and politics. There are also thoroughly endearing turns from Edmund Gwenn as Kris Kringle and young Natalie Wood as the girl who doesn't believe in santa. If you only watch

Episode 12 - Black Christmas

The Good, The Bad and The Remake: Movie Podcast ·

2020/12/09

Christmas is coming and the first of the GBR team's Christmas Specials has arrived, and it doesn't get much more festive than this. Sort of. First up is the original Black Christmas from 1974, starring Franco Zeffirelli's Juliet, Olivia Hussey; 2001's Dave Bowman, Keir Dullea; and the once and future Lois Lane, Margot Kidder. Considered one of the first slasher films, this was a template that many films in the genre followed, especially John Carpenter's Halloween a few years later. Ben loves

BONUS: Episode 11 - The Things

The Good, The Bad and The Remake: Movie Podcast ·

2020/09/23

The public have spoken and the films for the final episode have been chosen - by a landslide, you voted for Neal, Catherine and Ben to watch The Thing From Another World (1951) and its remake John Carpenter's The Thing (1982). The original is another slice of high-grade 1950s B-movie from producer-director extraordinaire Howard Hawks. Adapted from John Campbell's story 'Who Goes There?', the thing from another world takes on the form of a very tall man with an odd-shaped head, limbs made of plant

Episode 10 - Seven Samurai & The Magnificent Seven

The Good, The Bad and The Remake: Movie Podcast ·

2020/09/02

We believe in going out with a bang and, perhaps, saving the best for last. That's why this week Neal, Catherine and Ben will be tackling two classic, epic interpretations of the same story. Up first is the indisputable masterpiece from Akira Kurosawa, Seven Samurai - featuring the Japanese John Wayne, Toshiro Mifune - a 3.5-hour, black and white, subtitled film from the 1950s. But don't let that put you off, it's genuinely really entertaining. Then - vying for the final Remazing of the series -

Episode 9 - Invasion of the Body Snatchers

2020/08/26

Two bona fide classics for you this week, as Neal, Catherine and Ben get stuck into the black and white 1950s B-movie version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers - complete with communist undertones - directed by Don "Dirty Harry" Siegel. Then it's onto Philip "The RIght Stuff" Kaufman's late-1970s update, starring Donald Sutherland, Jeff Goldblum, Veronica Cartwright and the once and future Spock, Leonard Nimoy. Special effects, paranoia, fear and distrust course through both of these films, which

An unplanned tribute to the recent passing of director Joel Schumacher this week as Neal, Catherine and Ben revisit his 1990 'brat pack' thriller Flatliners - featuring Julia Roberts, Keifer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon, William Baldwin and Oliver Platt - from a time when he was a respected Hollywood heavy-hitter, prior to ruining the Batfranchise with Batnipples... Then it's onto the much-maligned 2017 remake from The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo's Neils Arden Oplev, and a cast that includes Juno

Episode 7 - The Hitcher

The Good, The Bad and The Remake: Movie Podcast ·

2020/08/12

We've gone slightly more obscure this week, as Neal, Catherine and Ben take a look at the cult 1986 slasher-thriller The Hitcher - starring Rutger Hauer, C. Thomas Howell and a very young Jennifer Jason Leigh - as three people caught in a vicious, cruel game of death and torture on a Texas Highway, climaxing with one of the great twists in 80s horror. Then it's on to the Michael Bay-produced remake, starring One Tree Hill's Sophia Bush and - in the role of the psychopathic John Ryder - Sean Bean

Episode 6 - Ghostbusters

2020/08/05

The GBR team tackle the most controversial pick yet, with a bona fide 80s classic in Ivan Reitman's original, not to mention an amazing cast - Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Sigourney Weaver, Rick Moranis and more - followed up by the 2016 all-female remake from Paul 'Bridesmaids' Feig. Ben is all ready to man the defenses and with neither Catherine or Neal having seen the remake, could this start a fight, or will they come down on the side of agreeing and making up (agreemaking, if you

Episode 5 - Insomnia

The Good, The Bad and The Remake: Movie Podcast ·

2020/07/29

A double bill of acclaimed, high-brow thrillers this week, as Neal, Catherine and Ben sit down with the late-90s Scandi-noir Insomnia, starring Stellan Skarsgard in a very dark role - prior to finding international fame in Good Will Hunting and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Then they mull over the slightly expanded remake from Christopher Nolan - his next film after Memento brought him to worldwide attention - starring Al Pacino, Hillary Swank and Robin Williams. The original is very highly

Episode 4 - Robocop

The Good, The Bad and The Remake: Movie Podcast ·

2020/07/22

It's little surprise to most people that three people that grew up in the 1980s would have strong feelings about Paul Verhoeven's seminal sci-fi actioner - and Neal, Catherine and Ben are predictably gushing when it comes to rewatching it. But 2/3rds of the GBR team have yet to see the 2014 remake starring Joel Kinnaman, Michael Keaton, Gary Oldman and Samuel Jackson. With a lineup like that and a massive budget, can it really be as bad as some critics say? We want your feedback, 3-word reviews

Episode 3 - The Wicker Man

The Good, The Bad and The Remake: Movie Podcast ·

2020/07/15

So far on The Good, The Bad and The Remake, we've had one terrible remake and one brilliant remake. Now, as Neal, Catherine and Ben sit down to watch the 2006 remake of the seminal 1970's classic - this time starring Nicolas Cage - it could well be equal amounts of both. Which could be a problem when it comes to rating it.

Episode 2 - Little Shop of Horrors

The Good, The Bad and The Remake: Movie Podcast ·

2020/07/08

For our second foray into the mixed bag of remakes, Neal, Catherine and Ben are weighing up the relative virtues of the two film versions of Little Shop of Horrors - the first a micro-budget Roger Corman b-movie from 1960; the second a big budget musical from Yoda himself, Frank Oz, from 1986. One was shot in under a week with the pocket change of those involved with an early role for Jack Nicholson, the other is packed with songs from Al Menken, who went on to write songs for the Disney classics

Episode 1 - Point Break

2020/07/01

The first episode proper has landed and Neal, Catherine and Ben are sinking their brain teeth into Keanu's first action film and it's 25-years-later remake, the Point Breaks. It's pretty much accepted that the original film is a minor classic of 90s action, but given that none of the team have seen its reincarnation, does it have any surprises or originality in store, or will it just be another lifeless retread with nothing to say? The Keanu-Swayze version certainly isn't flawless, so there is
