The Good, The Bad and The Remake: Movie Podcast
TV & Film:Film Reviews
An 80s classic that none of the team had seen this week, the arrival of Mr Kevin Bacon (and his six degrees of separation) in a foot-stomping, illegal dancing, modern musical. Does it still stand on its loose two feet 35 years on, or is it just fondly remembered by the generation that grew up with it?
Following it up, the 2011 remake from Craig 'Hustle & Flow' Brewer, this time populated with professional dancers instead of scrappy, up-and-coming actors. The wrinkle is that Ben has seen this one (possibly four separate times) and has a real fondness for it. How will this impact on seeing the original for the first time?
And, inspired by the film's plot, we take a little detour around the world to find some other odd, illegal activities.
