Legends Podcast #672; Road House (2024)

We're on the road (house) again with the remake! Swapping the Kansas City suburbs for the Florida Keys, this Amazon MGM release - exclusively on the Prime Video streaming platform - trades Patrick Swayze for Jake Gyllenhaal as the man named Dalton who gets hired to clean up a rowdy bar. Produced once again by Joel Silver, this time around The Bourne Identity and Edge of Tomorrow director Doug Liman is behind the camera, while Daniela Melchoir, Jessica Williams, Billy Magnussen, and Conor McGregor round out the cast. Amazon claims the remake has been seen by over 50 million worldwide viewers on the service over its first two weekends, making it the studio's "most-watched produced film debut ever on a worldwide basis." But is this Road House a tired retread or does it hold the keys to a new franchise?   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.
