The Weekly Movie Throwdown Episode 16: Reviving the '80s Again with The A-Team (2010)

from The Weekly Movie Throwdown · host Movie Throwdown

In this episode, we discuss another beloved '80s TV property, The A-Team. The 2010 film version makes nods to the original, but they don't necessarily all hit the mark. With a bit of a tonal issue and way-too-big CGI swing, the film, directed by Joe Carnahan, is fun but could be a lot more so. We have a lot of love for the TV show, so this was always going to have to work hard to win us over. Ultimately it didn't, but it's still entertaining enough for us to enjoy breaking it down.__________________________________________And if you’d like to log as you go you can find everything we discuss this month on our Letterboxd list page here.__________________________________________Still to come during '80s TV Show Adaptations month:5/27: Miami Vice__________________________________________Send your thoughts on The A-Team and the show to [email protected] us at @moviethrowdownpod on all your favorite social media platforms.Subscribe to the Weekly Movie Throwdown on Apple Podcasts | Spotify | RSS Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
