"Remake This Movie RIGHT!" is a bi-weekly podcast where we take a classic film that is actively being remade by Hollywood studio execs, and craft our own version of how a modern retelling should go. Does the story need updating? Should characters or motives be tweaked? Do we need more muppets? We take all factors into account, concoct our film, and then offer a Final Pitch to you in movie trailer form. By the end of each episode, we will Remake This Movie RIGHT!

What makes a great movie dad?

Movie Dads is our topic this week, as we dive into what makes a great movie dad? Is a great dad a protector, a nurturer, or all of the above? We discuss this, as well as our picks for most and least favorite movie dads.

Then be sure to stick around as we jump into Colin Trevorrow’s attempt to rejuvenate the Jurassic Park franchise with Jurassic World. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard star as two park staff fighting to fend off an attack on Isla Nublar by the newly modified Indominus Rex. Does the movie work? Were we happy to return to the island? Where does the film sit in relation to the other Jurassic Park films? Join in on our discussion and listen to the latest episode of The Hollywood Outsider.

 Why do movie trailers lie to us?

We recently discussed marketing in today’s films. As that was a very wide-ranging conversation, one of our listeners – John - asked us to elaborate on movie trailers themselves. Specifically, those trailers that painted an awful film as brilliance or made a great film look like hot, sticky garbage. As we discuss movie trailers and the lies they tell, we also focus on those trailers that duped us personally. Join in on the discussion and listen to the latest episode of The Hollywood Outsider.

What is better storytelling in telvision: Procedurals or Serialized?

Television has continued to evolve, as we as a culture have. Where we once sat together every night as a complete family unit, only watching whatever safe TV show was on one of our 3 channels, we now have THOUSANDS of options every night on hundreds of network, cable, and streaming channels. As television has evolved, so has how it is told. One of our listeners, Rex, recently asked us to discuss the differences between procedural and serialized television. Specifically, what are the positives and negatives to both? As we dive into it, we also discuss our favorites in both and what makes them so exceptional in this regard. Join in on the discussion and listen to this very topic on the latest episode of The Hollywood Outsider.

“Tomorrowland” follows Casey (Britt Robertson), a teen prodigy with a NASA engineer dad and an abundance of curiosity. After a random encounter with a mysterious pin that seems to transport her to a magical world, Casey sets off to find a former boy-genius inventor Frank (George Clooney), who could possibly help her solve this elusive enigma. They set off on a journey of dire circumstances, yet also one of hope.

For this special episode of The Hollywood Outsider, Aaron is joined by Troy Heinritz (The Blacklist ExposedUnder the Dome Radio) to discuss the film in detail. From their initial, spoiler-free, thoughts to their more detailed reactions to director Brad Bird's bold new world.

Will families enjoy this? Did the minimal exposure to the actual film through marketing ultimately help or hurt the film? What did we think of Robertson, Clooney, and Hugh Laurie? Does the world electrify us in the way that Walt Disney and his films have so often managed to pull off? Most importantly - What are the critics missing on this one?

All this, and much more, is discussed on this special episode. Tomorrowland is an explosion of imagination that reminds us of early Spielberg. Whether you enjoyed the film, disliked it, or maybe even are still debating seeing it - this discussion is for you!

Mad Max: Fury Road is director George Miller's return to the world he created in 1979 when Mel Gibson first burst onto the scene. This time, Tom Hardy steps into Max's boots in a tale of an estranged cult follower (Charlize Theron) attempting to break the concubines of Immortan Joe (Hugh Keyes-Byrne) free. What follows is the very definition of a non-stop action opus! 

For this special episode of The Hollywood Outsider Podcast, Aaron and Scott discuss their reactions to what many are calling the masterpiece of the summer. Does it live up to the hype? Are people once again blind to the truth? Or could this be the bombastic thrill we've been waiting for? Take a listen and find out!
