A movie podcast on movie podcasts. We aim to highlight the best in film discussion as curated by bringing it down to our level.
A film podcast where movies meet and your hosts project favorite flicks from the past on the cinema of today.
On the ORIGINAL REMAKE podcast we discuss and compare an original film and its remake. Does the remake do justice to the original? Ultimately which to watch?
Machine. Horse. Two films are reviewed that take distinctly different approaches to similar themes. These themes are inspired by a current release that is reviewed at the top of the show. It is cinematic combat. A movie arena. One that keeps hosts Michael Denniston and Shane Conner entertained every week. And hopefully you are too.
