49.3 The Remakes Tribunal: SWAT, The Year of the Dragon

The Adamsons conclude Issue 49 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd with the Remakes Tribunal, where we put bad filmmaking on trial. We're joined once again by noted sci fi author and fellow film nerd Alan Bayles.

 

The remake under our spotlight is 2003's SWAT, where we ask if this Colin Farrell and Sam Jackson-led reboot of an old TV show deserves to exist or should we wipe it from film history. Then we ask if the fatally flawed and quite racist 1985 police thriller Year of the Dragon should be remade to get it right this time.

 

The first two parts of Issue 49 are already out - Double Reel Monthly and Classics & Hidden Gems.
