ORIGINAL REMAKE: Groundhog Day and Edge of Tomorrow

On this episode we reset, watch GROUNDHOG DAY, EDGE OF TOMORROW, and then do it all again for your listening pleasure. In a battle between two Ritas, Andie Macdowell fights Emily Blunt for the hearts of hosts Peter and Mike as they look at films that share the similar concept of reliving one day over and over again. Do we choose the comedic and ice sculpting skills of Bill Murray? Or maybe the rare sighting of a cowardly Tom Cruise running away from a fight is more our speed? The only way to find out is to listen to this episode. But all we ask is ONE listen. That's more than enough.

Original Remake: Moon and Oblivion

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. Twitter: @originalremake Mike: @warmachinehorse Peter: @Podstalgic

Original Remake: Assault on Precinct 13 1976 and 2005

On this episode we protect the integrity of Precinct 13, or more accurately Precinct 9, Division 13. Shane Conner, co-host of the podcast War Machine vs. War Horse, bunkers down for a debate on the appropriate amount of cheese, how far we have NOT come in film casting since 1976, and the possibility of future remakes for this John Carpenter classic. But for now, we try to survive the 1976 and 2005 versions of ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13.

ORIGINAL REMAKE: Star Trek 1979 and 2009

On this episode we journey to a place that Hollywood has been many times before... the STAR TREK universe. In particular we look at the first feature film for this franchise with 1979's STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE and the J.J. Abrams reboot in 2009. Which jerk Captain Kirk do you prefer? The back from retirement William Shatner version from the 1979 film OR the hothead amateur played by Chris Pine in in the 2009 reboot?

ORIGINAL REMAKE: Wonder Woman and Professor Marston and the Wonder Women

Two weeks in a row we have  Dave Hart  of  Pop Culture Case Study  to help us figure out our fixation with WONDER WOMAN, other than the fact that it's a very likable movie. We compare that summer crowd pleaser to the crowded love story in the new release PROFESSOR MARSTON AND THE WONDER WOMEN. This discussion focuses on the origin of this iconic superhero character and how that has shifted over time, but more importantly if it shifts our opinion of the character as seen in the Patty Jenkins film. Also because we can't behave ourselves, we pitch a sequel with Chris Pine flying the invisible jet in a very special way.

Episode 183 of War Machine vs. War Horse: The Walk (The Lookout vs. Premium Rush)

On this episode we go on THE WALK with Joseph Gordon-Levitt which inspires an episode of adrenaline with the actor in two prior film: THE LOOKOUT and PREMIUM RUSH. Tim from The Late Reviews YouTube channel and the podcast P an Tilt Zoom   joins  us for that conversation, but first we preview a portion of sister show Original Remake which you can also find on FollowingFilms.com. The new Robert Zemeckis' take on the story previously seen in MAN ON WIRE is discussed with Jamison Rabbitt of the Real Films podcast.

ORIGINAL REMAKE: Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey

For Valentine's Day, we decide to give the listeners something sexy. And what sexier than a teen vampire and a rich playboy who's handy with the whips! We talk about TWILIGHT and FIFTY SHADES OF GREY, the fan faction that it's inspired by.

Episode 116 of War Machine vs. War Horse: Focus (Matchstick Men vs. The Brothers Bloom)

On this episode we attempt to con you into listening to our triple feature of con man movies, inspired by the new release FOCUS. Based on the premise of that film we look at how love blinds con men, like it blinded Will Smith by backing his son's acting career in AFTER EARTH. The double feature we have selected for this theme includes Ridley Scott's MATCHSTICK MEN and Rian Johnson's THE BROTHERS BLOOM. Guest: Peter from Hydrate Level Four and the Original Remake podcast joins us to work on a horror screenplay starring Bruce McGill.

Original Remake: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek Into Darkness

With Marvel's  Dr. Strange  premiering and newly home released  Star T rek Beyond  coming in the same week, Peter and returning guest  Seth Heasley  of the  Take Me To Your Reader Podcast  take a look at Khan in both STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN and STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS.

Original Remake: Prefontaine and Without Limits

We look into the life of former track star Steve Prefontaine, from the University of Oregon, in PREFONTAINE and WITHOUT LIMITS. We discuss the style and perspectives from some of the different characters and also debate Breckin Meyer or Jeremy Sisto.

Episode 09 of Original Remake - The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo 2009 and 2011

On this episode, we are joined by CHRIS MAYNARD of FOLLOWING FILMS POD to talk about the Swedish and American adaptation of the first book from the Millennium trilogy, THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO.

Original Remake: Captain America 1990 and 2011

We have our own civil war with two sides of Captain America. The first being the failed release of his 1990 adventure which ended up making its way direct to video in 1992. The much higher budgeted Marvel Cinematic Universe version in 2011 introduced Cap as The First Avenger and was the last solo MCU film before a little arthouse success in Joss Whedon's Avengers the following year. This one isn't much of a debate, so we bring in Master Sergeant Bill Paxton as a true threat to the guy wielding the shield.

ORIGINAL REMAKE: Bad Moms and A Bad Moms Christmas

We bring on the world's biggest fan of the Bad Moms Cinematic Universe,  Jairo  of the  True Bromance Film Podcast , to see if one of his favorite films of 2016 is a rare comedy sequel that works. Along the way we disagree on what's considered a Christmas movie classic, the merits of sequels leading to an eventual ROCKY IV, and what exactly the age demographic should be for the hypothetical third installment in the BAD MOMS series. Like Hollywood, we get a jump on the holiday bitterness with our episode on A BAD MOMS CHRISTMAS, and you should too!

Episode 94 of War Machine vs. War Horse: American Sniper (Jarhead vs. In the Valley of Elah)

On this episode we look at the war abroad in the Sam Mendes film JARHEAD, and the war at home in Paul Haggis' IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH. But first, we talk with Peter from the podcasts Hydrate Level Four and Original Remake about the extremely successful and yet polarizing film AMERICAN SNIPER which is new to DVD and Blu-ray.

Original Remake: Alien and Prometheus

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.

Original Remake: The Dark Knight Returns and Batman v Superman

On this episode, featured player and our resident horror expert Derek Stewart returns to relive the horror of watching BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE. We discuss the film's attempt to present a version of Frank Miller's THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS on the big screen, which was far more successfully done with a straightforward animated adaptation for the home video market.

Original Remake: Superman II and Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut

Peter recruits  Jay  of The  KedaNJay Show  to compare both versions of SUPERMAN II and discuss if either versions made us believe a man can fly and all the differences between both movies.

ORIGINAL REMAKE: Perfect Blue and Black Swan

Inspired by the release of R E D S P A R R O W , we decide to review another movie involving a bird of color, Darren Aronofsky's B L A C K S W A N which was inspired by Satoshi Kon's P E R F E C T B L U E . Despite being one of our shorter episodes, we still manage to bring up ballet, overbearing mother's that can bake and hentai.

Original Remake: The Bad News Bears 1976 and 2005

On this episode we celebrate the return of baseball (mainly just Michael) by watching the 1976 and 2005 versions of THE BAD NEWS BEARS. We admire the hard living of Walter Matthau, the romantic peak of Billy Bob Thornton, and the cinematic coaching abilities of Mark Wahlberg in PAIN & GAIN. Join us as we take your earbuds back to a time when Freddy Krueger ruled the diamond as we wait for Richard Linklater's newest baseball movie EVERYBODY WANTS SOME to make its way to our local theater.
