Sideways/Saidoweizu - A Copy of A Copy Ep. 203

Car RayRob are back with a brand-new episode of A COPY OF A COPY!  For this week's pair of films, Ray and Rob are tackling a new kind of remake they have yet to discuss, the American film remade for a foreign audience! They're doing this by revisiting Alexander Payne's 2004 Dramedy classic SIDEWAYS, as well as the 2009 Japanese language remake, SAIDOWEIZU! Both films center on a down on their luck writer who takes their quasi-famous actor best friend to California wine country for his bachelor party, and the shenanigans that ensue forces both men to reexamine their life choices and ultimately decide how they want to spend their rest of their lives. Each film picks a different area within California to focus their stories, and each one examines the complexity of failure and success in both life and love through their respective cultural lenses!   We often see foreign films remade for American audiences, but the reverse is much less common. Tune in to find out how SAIDOWEIZU stacks up against the classic original! THEME SONG: Music and Lyrics: Jeremy Catarelli, Kevin Magamoll and Rob Morgan INTERMISSION: Music: Jey You Voice: Rob Morgan
