This week on End Credits, we wanna fight! Now this is typically a collegial show where the hosts get along, so when we talk about fighting it's usually in relation to a movie, and this week we're watching all the fighting with Road House. Now this movie is a remake, and while he was a lover *and* a fighter, we will pay tribute to the star of that original Road House movie.
This Wednesday, April 3, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss:
Saint Patrick's Day. In 1989 Patrick Swayze starred in the original Road House, which was an interest role for him coming out of his then-recent hit playing sexy and graceful and romantic in Dirty Dancing. It's hard not to think about either Road House or Dirty Dancing when it comes to Swayze's greatest hits, and though he tragically passed away fairly young in 2009, he still stands pretty tall as one of Hollywood's most interesting modern leading men. We will talk about his greatest roles.
REVIEW: Road House (2024). The larger points are pretty much the same, big trouble at a road side bar and the one bouncer that's got to unravel it, but Doug Liman's remake takes, if you will, some bigger swings. Jake Gyllenhaal subs for Patrick Swayze as the bouncer, but this time he's a former MMA fighter who's drifting from place to place trying to avoid a fight till some rowdies harassing this small town bar finally push him too far. Gyllenhaal is one oddest leading men working today, so does Road House use his manic weirdo energy well enough as he beats guys to a pulp?
End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
