  • Welcome to Recovered, where Dan and Keith dig into all films remade, rebooted, and redone. They say there are no new stories under the sun, and Hollywood's been taking that as an excuse to tell the same stories over and over since the silent era, so we dig into which movies warranted a remake, which remakes improved on the original, and how very often neither of those things are true.

  • Episode 74: Twister(s)
    2024/11/21

    Dan and Keith go storm chasing with Twister and Twisters! Back in the 90s, Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt chased tornadoes for non-specific Science while staying ahead of their rival who was out for vague Profit in a simple storm flick that became one of the top hits of 1996. A whopping 28 years later, Hollywood took another crack at it with Twisters, which despite its title has the approximate same number of tornadoes but being a Movie From the Mid 2020s DOES have more Glen Powell. Dan and Keith unpack motivations, quirky casts, film language, and how it's a little weird to portray tornadoes as slasher movie villains that can be defeated with microplastics. We've got the entertainment, so if you FEEL IT... CHASE IT!

  • Episode 73: 3:10 to TWOmas
    2024/11/07

    Dan and Keith head back to the old west for two takes on the gritty western 3:10 to Yuma. Both versions see a desperate rancher agree to escort an outlaw bandit to the train to a prison in Yuma, something his gang is very willing to kill to prevent. In 1957, the conflict comes from the growing connection between Dan the rancher and Ben the bandit, and Ben probes and tests Dan's resolve through a long wait in a hotel for the train's arrival. The 2007 remake casts Russell Crowe and Christian Bale for a more action-packed version, but does it lose the original's magic? Take the train with us and find out.

  • Episode 72: Dawns, Red
    2024/10/24

    It's another 80s classic (question mark) with a largely overlooked remake as Dan and Keith take on the Red Dawns! Back in Reagan's America, Hollywood wove a tale of America being invaded by a Russian/Cuban alliance, which took a very elaborate amount of set-up to justify, held at bay by rising stars Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, Jennifer Grey, and Lea Thompson. The fierce Soviet alliance brought America to its knees overnight, but couldn't withstand six teenagers with attitudes. In 2012, after a few years on the shelf, an updated version was released with a new invading enemy... that had to be quickly re-written to keep valuable markets in play. The definitely not Chinese invaders are harassed by the recently famous Chris Hemsworth, The Beekeeper's Josh Hutcherson, The Orville's Adrianne Palicki, and somehow it all makes even less sense. Dan and Keith have some notes on the whole enterprise, from improbable set-ups to which fast food chain clearly didn't pay enough for their product placement. Listen in!
