Twisters or Sorry I can't come up with a title, I was staring at Glen Powell
Twisters is the kind of ReBoot that doesn't bother us on this show, sure its dumb, but it keeps the action moving. It thankfully also features tow likable leads and a director who is more than game to add his stamp on the disaster genre.

-
Poltergeist (2015) or Gritty REboot vs Drones, Gregs, Crushed Automobiles and The Darkness
This week we look at the well made but pointless Poltergeist remake from 2015. It’s not an awful film like The Fog was but it doesn’t help that every frame of this gets compared to the Tobe Hooper classic. This is special show for us because, due to a falling tree, we lost power in our home and...
-

The Fog (1980) or Gritty REboot VErsus Spooky Atmosphere and Sadly Little Else, a lesser Carpenter is still Carpenter though
As the Title states it’s The Fog, John Carpenter flavored this week. And yeah its one of his lesser works and you know what that still makes for fun viewing. We still enjoyed it and it was a treat to watch one more time. If you would like to contact us just hit us up on any of our socials TikTok:...
-
The Fog (2005) or Gritty REboot VErsus Ghost Wives and Superboy
They should not have bothered with remaking The Fog in 2005. This is a lackluster and completely forgettable remake. I feel bad for kids who grew up with this constantly airing on the sci fi channel. If you would like to contact us just hit us up on any of our socials TikTok:...

We may not have said the nicest things about Charles Bronson's original but man it’s a masterpiece compared to this. Listen to us as we complain about Bruce Willis sleeping his way through this film. Before he retired Bruce turned in some of the worst performances of his career. Eli Roth can’t…

Death Wish with Charles Bronson is an absolute classic but it left Meredith and I a little cold sadly. Join us as we debate the merits of Charles Bronson as an actor, vigilantism, 70s cinema, and the debut of Jeff Goldblum. Get your guns out fellers and let's head to Arizona… err I mean New York!
-
Gritty REboot Versus An Upgraded Board game and the Smulder of The Rock (Jumanji Welcome to The Jungle)
It's not a shocker for us to say we preferred the 2015 version of Jumanji over the original version, but we have to stress that we really dig this interpretation. Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle is a great blockbuster.
-
Gritty REboot Versus A Years Long Board Game and Very Serious Robin Williams (Jumanji 95)
In December of 1995 the world of cinema bestowed Jumani to us. Upon meeting a mixed critical recpetion it still went on to be one the biggest hits of the holiday season and start a franchise with a loose sequel and a reboot. Does this odd non comedic role for Robin Williams hold up or the film as...

Gritty REboot Vs Another Pointless American Retread (Pulse 06)
We were truly unprepared for this limp, and lifeless (not even in a good way) American Adaptation of the Japanese Classic Kairo. Even with this film featuring one of our favorite actresses we still found almost no redeeming qualities of any kind. Pusle might ne the moist insignificant remake we...

John Landis' classic is still worth a watch in 2024 but is it still the genre defining classic its billed as.
-
Gritty REboot versus CGI French Werewolves and the low quality of American Werewolf in Paris
This is a remake that can't even be considered in the same league, neigh, the same sport as the original. Tom Everet Scott and Julie Delpy cant bring this low rent sequel/reboot in for even a "so bad its good" landing. We watch so you dont have to and if you had cables in the early 00's, then...
-
Gritty REboot Versus The Perserverance of Kurt Russell and the Legacy of Tombstone
Let's just say it, Kurt Russel does a waaaaay better job than Costner in the part of Wyatt Earp. This modern Classic is a movie Meredith and i have seen a hundred times. Dod our run in with Costner's Earp give us a new appreciation of this flick or did it leave us wishing there was a bit more here.
-
Gritty REboot versus the Vanity of Kevin Costner; The Forgotten Wyatt Earp.
Everyone loves and remembers Tombstone but this competing film is almost completely forgotten. In a fight to tell the story of Wyatt Earp and the OK Coral, Costner and Lawrence Kasden choose to talk about the man Earp was and not the legend. This leads to a loooong boriing mess but is this a just…

Gritty REBoot #66 Silent Night, A remake in name only makes for solid Holiday Scares
The 2012 version of Silent Night Deadly night is a remake in name only. While we certainly both would have appreciated another take on Billy and "Punishment" we instead received a solid if underwhelming horror movie. Curl up by the fire, light it with your flamethrower, toss out your pervy…

Gritty REboot #64 The Italian Job: Of all the Films Marky Mark has made, this is one of them
The Italian Job is a more than acceptable remake of a true classic. Do we think there is enough here to stand the test of time like the Caine film or will this merely be forgotten like other retreads,
-
Gritty REboot #63 The Italian Job: A Classic that's still cool over 50 years later.
Meredith had been ducking this film for years and this week she jumps in her mini and drives right into this classic British Caper. Do we both love it or is it just too dated to matter much anymore??
-
Gritty REboot #62 Suspira 2018, Literally the exact opposite of the original
Most would have thought that a remake of such a one of a kind mocie like Dario Arento's Suspira was truly impossible but Filmmaker Luca Guadagnino helms another truly unique, but altogether different kind of film. did we enjoy it or is it blashempy, Listen and Find out.
-
Gritty REboot #61 Suspira, Truly one of a kind Cinema
MNothing can truly prepare you for suspira. There is no other movie like Suspira and that made it one of the least likely films to ever be remade or rebooted. Alas though, here we are taking a stab to the heart for this late 70's Argento classic.

-
It Retrospective Chapter 1 The 90's Mini-Series and Tim Curry gives a generation a fear of clowns.
