Completely Conspicuous 456: Once More, With Feeling

from Completely Conspicuous

Part 2 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 - Unnecessary reboots - The Ghostbusters remake was controversial - Westworld was a hit, but most viewers probably didn't see the original movies - Michael Crichton's trial by fire as a director - Channing Tatum is the mermaid in the new version of Splash - The Rock's in everything - DC's TV shows are good - Matt Fraction's comics reimagining of Hawkeye is excellent - Deadpool is a cavalcade of dick jokes - Penny Dreadfal mashes up classic horror characters - Beauty and the Beast live-action remake - Rebooting in advertising: the Most Interesting Man in the World, Col. Sanders - Reboot vs. continuation - The Muppet Babies effect - The many Punishers - Taken, the TV show - Getting manipulated by This Is Us - To be continued Completely Conspicuous is available through the iTunes podcast directory.
