“Alex Murphy is made for her pleasure!” - Steve on the new suit design
On this week’s show, we bring Remake-ril to a close with a chat about one of the worst Hollywood remakes of all time, RoboCop (2014)! 
Why did we need the “slick” new suit design? Why didn’t they bother with any of the TV sitcom stuff like in the ’87? Why did we need to have the wife and son be such larger characters? Was Joel Kinnaman right for Murphy? And speaking of Murphy, why are so many people calling him by his first name in this movie? Did any other film waste Michael Kenneth Williams’ talent as much as this one did? And what in WORLD were they thinking going for the PG-13 rating? PLUS: “Dr. Norton? Commissioner Gordon. Commissioner Gordon? Dr. Norton…”
RoboCop (2014) stars Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Abbie Cornish, Jackie Earle Haley, Michael Kenneth Williams, Jennifer Ehle, Jay Baruchel, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, and Samuel L. Jackson as Pat Novak; directed by José Padilha.

“He’s the best part of this movie” - Chris on Dennis Franz
On this week’s show, Remake-ril heads to Los Angeles as we chat about the sappy Hollywood remake, City of Angels! 
A reimagining of Wim Wenders’ 1987 masterpiece, Wings of Desire, this film features Nicholas Cage as the lovelorn angel… Seth? How great, truly, is Dennis Franz in this movie? Why couldn’t they have kept Meg’s character a trapeze artist instead of switching it to a doctor? Should these angels be watching stuff like bath tub shenanigans? How weird is it to hear Sarah McLachlin’s “Angel” when that dog PSA isn’t on your TV? Does Colm Feore’s character give one of the worst movie marriage proposals of all time? And was that Michael Mann as the cigarette-smoking bar extra? PLUS: What a Rolling Rock commercial! 
City of Angels stars Meg Ryan, Nicholas Cage, Andre Braugher, Colm Feore, Robin Bartlett, Joanna Merlin, and Dennis Franz as Mr. Messinger; directed by Brad Silberling.

“The idea that you’re gonna put Kilmer and Brando in the same movie and you expect this to go well...” - Steve
This week on WHM, Remake-ril boards a plane to fly to a mysterious destination in the South Pacific as the guys chat about one of the most notorious Hollywood disasters of the 1990s, John Frankenheimer’s The Island of Dr. Moreau!
Who on Earth thought it was a good idea to get Brando involved in this? Does our society really want monkey butlers? What was Kilmer smoking while filming this—no seriously, any strain info? How was this movie only PG-13 with all these horrific mon-stars? Why was mainstream pop culture kinda cool with a little light beastiality in the 1990s? And credit where credit’s due, Stan Winston hit it out of the park with the monster make-up. PLUS: The return of the VHS Trailer Game!
The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996) stars David Thewlis, Val Kilmer, Fairuza Balk, Daniel Rigney, Temuera Morrison, Nelson de la Rosa, Mark Dacascos, Ron Perlman, Marco Hofschneider, and Marlon Brando as Dr. Moreau; directed by John Frankenheimer.

“You put Dawn of the Dead, Romero’s, and Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later in the copy machine at the same time…” - Eric on this movie's vibe
On this week’s episode Remake-ril kicks off on WHM and we’re chatting about the pretty okay Zack Snyder feature debut, Dawn of the Dead! 
A reimagining of George A. Romero's zombified capitalist critique, Snyder brought the franchise into the 21st Century with a more action-driven, but still fun vision. Shouldn’t James Gunn have written like, eight-to-ten fewer characters to jam in here? How amazing is Ving, as always? How eerie is that zombie baby? Could Mark Borchardt and Mike Schank have made a zombie outbreak documentary? And were we wrong about goofing on Richard Cheese all these years? PLUS: Could a zombie virus destroy the city of Duckberg?
Dawn of the Dead (2004) stars Sarah Polley, Ving Rhames, Mekhi Phifer, Jake Weber, Ty Burrell, Michael Kelly, Kevin Zegers, Michael Barry, Lindy Booth, Jayne Eastwood, Boyd Banks, Inna Korobkina, and Matt Frewer as Frank; directed by Zack Snyder.

“Martin Sheen pops like a grape!” - Andrew on Captain Queenan’s demise
On this month’s We ❤️ Movies, Remake-ril is in full effect as we chat about Martin Scorsese’s Oscar-winning remake, The Departed! 
A reimagining of Andrew Lau Wai-Keung & Alan Mak’s Infernal Affairs, this is the flick that finally won Scorsese his first (and only) Oscar for directing. How majestic are all these wild-ass accents flying around this movie? Is this Marty’s most grim look at the mob? How great is this Damon/Farmiga elevator meet cute? Isn’t it great looking back at all this quaint cell phone technology? And how lucky are we to have gotten one last amazing Nicholson psycho performance? PLUS: If Yondu from Guardians of the Galaxy shows up at your apartment wearing paper booties, look out!
The Departed stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, Ray Winstone, Vera Farmiga, Anthony Anderson, Alec Baldwin, Kevin Corrigan, James Badge Dale, and Jack Nicholson as Frank Costello; directed by Martin Scorsese.
