51.3 The Remakes Tribunal: True Lies, The Day of the Animals

Issue 51 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd concludes with the Remakes Tribunal. Here we put bad filmmaking on trial, starting with True Lies, which not everyone knows is the Hollywood blockbuster version of a French film. Is it justified or should be wipe it from cinema history? Then it's the Parole Board where we offer a reprieve to a bad film to see if a remake would fix its problems. This month it's the near-legendary Day of the Animals, in which Leslie Nielsen wrestles a bear.

 

The other two parts of Issue 51 are already out: Double Reel Monthly and Classics & Hidden Gems.
