Podcast Reaction: The “Is It A Classic?” Edition

This week on the podcast, it was all about Back to the Future.  There were proposed sequels, even if Ryan’s did remind me of that Chrononauts thing Jimmy suggested I read.  Well worth the 8 bucks I paid for it, too.

There was the world’s worst geek trivia.

There were future predictions.

Movie Remakes That Actually Make Sense

Remakes are always a controversial subject.  A few weeks ago, I wrote about how a remake of my favorite Hitchcock film made my nervous, even though it was to be helmed by one of my favorite directors.  I think that is why Roger Ebert once said that they shouldn’t remake great movies; they should remake movies with great premises which were poorly executed.  Here are ten movies that fall between interesting stinkers and some of the most beloved classics of all time.

To Kill a Mockingbird 2- In an MCU World, Anything Can Be a Franchise Apparently

Earlier this week, I talked about when a true sequel is actually a good thing.  I didn’t even dream of including the classic American novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, on the list of potential victims candidates.  That seemed to be an untouchable, stand alone masterpiece. Well, it looks like it isn’t.  I know this isn’t the geekiest property, but it speaks to the idea that EVERYTHING is a fair game for sequel now. Nothing is sacred thanks to Robert Downey Jr’s charm!  Of course, this one is being issued by the creator herself, so does that change things?
