58.3 The Remakes Tribunal: Poseidon, When Time Ran Out

Issue 58 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd continues with the Remakes Tribunal, where we put bad filmmaking on trial. In keeping with our Disaster Movie theme for this month, our remake on trial is the 2006 film Poseidon. Was there any justification for this CGI-laden update of the 1972 classic The Poseidon Adventure? Then we offer a Parole Board hearing for a film that didn't work the first time. Would a remake fix all the problems with Irwin Allen's 1980 clunker When Time Ran Out?

 

Double Reel Monthly and Classics & Hidden Gems are already out for this issue, and we have a special Spotlight episode on David Fincher coming in a week's time.
