Completely Conspicuous 455: I, Reboot

Part 1 of my conversation with guest Matt Phillion as we discuss Hollywood's love of reboots. Show notes: - Check out Matt's book Like a Comet: The Indestructibles Book 4 - All about recycling ideas - Some reboots are self-referential - The Brady Bunch Movie kicked off the reboot as parody - Johnny Depp: Master of the Reboot - Nic Cage's recent career choices - Some improve on the original or have a different take - Westworld, Bates Motel - New TV shows based on Lethal Weapon and Training Day - The industry's too risk-averse - Comic book movie franchises reboot constantly - So many different Batmen - How long will Batfleck last? - Daredevil: Netflix show is much better than the movie - Stephen King's cocaine years - "The hamster just fell off the wheel" - To be continued Completely Conspicuous is available through the iTunes podcast directory.
