  • Episode 142: Make/Remake: Roadhouse (w/ Guest Dakota Arsenault)
    Mar 26 2024

    Greetings, programs! We're back after a two-week hiatus! This week, we're talking about something a little different: 1989s Road House and 2024s Road House. The former is an 80s action classic with big hair, cheesy dialogue, and throat rips and then the latter is an update that tests the limits of how much Jake Gyllenhaal can carry a movie. Join us!

    BONUS CONTENT:

    Greetings patrons! We're back after a two-week break with a new bonus episode! This week, we have a special guest, Dakota Arsenault, host of the Contra Zoom Podcast. We get into a few topics with him, including movies with the score played live, home video packaging, and the best remakes.

    As always, we greatly appreciate every one of you who is listening to this bonus round, and if you have answers to our questions here, please leave them in the comments!
