RSS Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 This week, Dread Media dives back into remakes. First up, Tom Deja joins Desmond to talk about the underrated and often forgotten 1980s remake of the 1950s classic The Blob. Then, Desmond goes solo on the brand new revenge remake of Death Wish. Of course, there are always tunes: "Remix (I Like The)" by New Kids on the Block, "Brave New Love" by Alien, "Deathwish" by Solitude Aeturnus, and "Carbon Copy" by iwrestledabearonce.

S-T Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 I never thought I would hear any of the Saw movies praised on Earth-2.net. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for any others because I've never bothered watching them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Some day I might revisit that movie. Looking back, the real bugbears were: The frenetic editing stood-in for style and tone The timeline shifts were not handled well Ill-developed characters Leigh Whannell's acting And it tried so hard to be Seven If I do go back, I'll try to look past those issues.

S-T Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 I liked the first three, genuinely. I turned on the series after that, and I really hated 6. People in the theater were openly laughing in derision at 8, on opening night. I wrote a 1600+ word review of it, ripping it to shreds.

S-T Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 BTW, thanks for revisiting The Blob, @Dread. I've been meaning to watch it since it came out and your podcast pushed me to finally do it. I rented it last weekend on YouTube. It was played much more serious than I thought it would be. I loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved it. No worries. I've been meaning to rewatch it for like 25 years, so it worked out for both of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
