Remakes are everywhere, and generally they are done horribly wrong or blandly. We even started a podcast specifically to address that in Remake This Movie RIGHT, where we remade our favorites in the mold of a film fans would like. Unfortunately, Hollywood doesn’t think that way. They want by-the-numbers retreads and name recognition. Everything is a brand now, if it’s identifiable, it could sell. If not as a movie, as a TV show. And nothing is sacred.

Well this week, we are going to discuss some of our choices for what should get a remake. Not necessarily based on name, but on concepts or possibilities. If you could remake a film that maybe didn’t come together as strong as it could have been, or perhaps was a bit ahead of its time, what movie would you choose?

After our normal episode, we discuss our reactions to Marvel’s latest superhero launch, as Benedict Cumberbatch dons the cloak of Doctor Strange. Magic has finally landed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and this is our take on every aspect of our expanded galaxy.

Join in on our conversation and listen to the latest episode of The Hollywood Outsider.

As the real world closes in on yet another President, we decided now was the time to take a hard look at film and television and vote on our picks for the greatest President in history.

What makes a great President? Is it the strength to do what others won’t? Is nobility in the face of adversity? Or perhaps it’s simply putting the needs of the country ahead of yourself. We dive into our own political needs in entertainment as our listeners vote for the Greatest of All-Time.

What are your scariest movie or TV moments? Not the most frightening film or show as a whole, but those specific scenes that sent the hairs on the back of your neck straight into the air? Or perhaps you were watching when something horrifying occurred that hit you square in the pit of your stomach.

These moments of dread are what we are discussing on this Halloween edition of The HO podcast. What scares us and especially those little slivers of time where a film or TV show went above and beyond in the terror department.

Be sure to stay after our normal show for our take on this week’s Walking Dead Season 7 Premiere.

Join in on our conversation and listen to the latest episode of The Hollywood Outsider.

Everyone has their favorite, even those who are not truly fans of the genre, but who is ultimately the greatest horror villain in cinematic history? Are Freddy and Jason too jokey? Are Michael Myers and Jaws too dated? Is Samara from The Ring real competition? Is Norman Bates even really a horror villain?

All of your favorites are on the chopping block as our most popular topic returns just in time for Halloween. Are you ready to rumble? This is HOrror Movie Villain Battle Royale!
