Episode 35 - High Noon & Outland

Season 3 · Episode 10

Wednesday, February 21, 2024 • Duration 01:23:27

It's the end of season 3, its Neal's choice and it's... not really a remake? Or is it? Rules being broken left, right and centre in this episode...

High Noon is considered a classic of the American West, one of the most significant Westerns ever made and an influence on an entire sub-genre. And none of the GBR crew have seen it before. No pressure then, High Noon.

Outland is a fondly remembered, if underseen, sci-fi appropriation, which everyone is quick to point is really stretching the definition of "remake". But it's got Sean Connery, exploding heads and an impressive, Jupiter moon-base set. And at the end of the day, isn't that all we really want?

Episode 34 - The Manchurian Candidate

Season 3 · Episode 9

Wednesday, February 14, 2024 • Duration 01:31:16

It's Ben's turn to get a pick in, so he's gone for the 1962 paranoid, political thriller The Manchurian Candidate starring Frank Sinatra and Angela Lansbury, followed up by the Denzel Washington-led remake from 2004, with a supporting cast to die for. Both films are uniquely disturbing, commenting on the times in which they were produced and dealing with some difficult ideas. But can the powerhouse combo of Denzel and his Philadelphia director, Jonathan Demme, possibly de-throne a film that has, in many ways, entered the cultural zeitgeist?

Episode 33 - The Fly

Season 3 · Episode 8

Wednesday, January 24, 2024 • Duration 01:34:00

It's the one we've been waiting for. After watching Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Thing, The Fly was the natural third part of the sci-fi/horror remake trilogy. An original that has its own fair share of iconic moments, not least a genuinely unsettling climax (even to this day), it's something rather special: a glossy, technicolor studio film with some radical ideas and a fractured narrative that sets it apart from the pack. Plus Vincent Price, which never hurts. But David Cronenberg's remake is close to genre-defining. Smart, remarkably gooey and disgusting, with star-making performances from Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis, its something of a classic of its time. So the question is, is this as Remazing as expected, or does the original hold unexpected qualities?

Episode 32 - Fist of Fury & Fist of Legend

Season 3 · Episode 7

Wednesday, January 17, 2024 • Duration 01:23:37

Two of the greatest performers in martial arts history go head-to-head this week.

Firstly, one of the most iconic actors of all time, the inimitable, the game-changing, the one and only Bruce Lee. Before Enter the Dragon made him a worldwide star, Fist of Fury (AKA The Chinese Connection) displays Lee's furious speed and charisma in a barnstorming action adventure. Awesome fights, gorgeous cinematography and an early 20th century tale of honour and conspiracy.

Twenty years later, the equally incredible yet, stylistically, very different Jet Li took on the same role in Fist of Legend, teaming up with legendary choreographer Yuen Woo-ping in the process. The styles of fighting and film are massively different, but are the results? And who will come out on top?

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Episode 31 - The Ladykillers

Season 3 · Episode 6

Wednesday, January 10, 2024 • Duration 01:31:02

One of the most beloved Ealing comedies of all time takes on one of the most beloved filmmaking duos of our time.

Alexander Mackendrick's The Ladykillers has long endured, thanks to its brilliant concept, dark humour and excellent cast. So, why on earth did the Coen brothers, coming off of nearly two decades of critical adoration, choose to remake it? Well, we think we know and we've got some feelings about both films too. Join us.

Episode 30 - The Night of the Living Dead

Season 3 · Episode 5

Wednesday, December 6, 2023 • Duration 01:25:45

The grandaddy of all modern zombie films is our subject this week, as we take a look at the OG, George A Romero's black and white gamechanger, The Night of the Living Dead. The team all have varied history with it, but also all felt the impact of key scenes.

So when it comes to watching an all-colour remake by makeup maestro Tom Savini, working from a reworked script by Romero himself, does it have any chance of being Remazing, or was it always destined to be an also-ran?

Episode 29 - The Wages of Fear & Sorcerer

Season 3 · Episode 4

Wednesday, November 29, 2023 • Duration 01:12:24

This week, we're getting sweaty and clenching our buttocks tightly, because we've got two renowned movies filled with tight-fisted, white-knuckled tension.

The Wages of Fear (AKA Le Salaire de la Peur), from director Henri-Georges Clouzot, is a proto-action thriller from the 1950s, which takes a while getting to its set-pieces and then doesn't let up until the final frame. Twenty-some years later, William Friedkin (The French Connection, The Exorcist) decided to (not) remake it as the poorly-titled Sorcerer, updating those incredible action scenes with a massive budget and a more socio-politicial undercurrent.

As always, we're here to weigh up the pros and cons of both approaches, before pitting them against one another.

Episode 28 - Cat People

Season 3 · Episode 3

Wednesday, November 22, 2023 • Duration 01:02:02

We're sticking with the season 3 theme of "tricky relationships" this week, with the 1942 and 1982 versions of Cat People. The original starts out like a noir film and gradually turns into a psycho-sexual thriller, quite different and risque for its time. Catherine is a big fan of this one and its producer, Val Lewton, so the discussion is chockful of tidbits for all you nerds out there. The remake was directed by Paul Schrader and takes advantage of coming out in a more liberal time, by adding in lashings of blood and boobs. As well as other more... mature themes, so you've been warned: don't listen to this one in front of the kids.

Episode 27 - Solaris

Season 3 · Episode 2

Wednesday, November 15, 2023 • Duration 01:17:52

We've been described as being too niche with some of our picks, so we've sold out and gone mainstream for this week's pick. Solaris is a ponderous, nearly 3-hour, Russian science fiction from 1972. If just reading that gives you pause, there's at least one member of the GBR crew that agrees with you. However, revered as an influential masterwork, Andrei Tarkovsky's difficult film was remade by American auteur Steven Soderbergh in 2002, starring George Clooney. At almost half the length, the question is, can it retain the philosphical spirit of the earlier film, or is it a cynical cash grab?

Episode 26 - Psycho

Season 3 · Episode 1

Monday, November 13, 2023 • Duration 01:25:18

Season 3 is here and we're kicking off with a much requested and somewhat controversial remake.

Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 horror-thriller Psycho changed the game. An iconic score, moody black and white photography, some of the most parodied sequences and dialogue in cinema history and the first ever appearance of a flushing toilet. So, naturally, Gus Van Sant followed up his biggest hit with a colour, shot-for-shot remake, taken from the exact same script.

Have we got another Point Break on our hands, or did Van Sant pull it off? Vince Vaughn certainly did...
