Movie Meltdown

Movie Meltdown - Episode 157 This week we dive head first into “The Grind” when we address the topic of Remakes. Why are there so many these days? Are there different “types”? Are they necessary?

All of which eventually leads to... The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Trespass, Fright Night, the ratman, belted-overalls?, True Grit, kind of like Wilford Brimley... only more-so, Black Christmas, Hayden Christensen, Leonard Nimoy, Godfather 3, Tim Burton, Pumpkin, Crispin Glover, Hugo, Prince Humperdinck could care less about Buttercup, The Ring, BMX Bandits, is this a kissing book?, King Kong, Halloween, Footloose, The Fly, The Killers, Rooney Mara, The Eye, Psycho, Reefer Madness, Little Shop of Horrors, Ukulele Mike... this is bullshit man!, Star Trek, the six-fingered man, love for the original, Solaris, nuance in a foreign movie, Joel Schum
