Podcast: Oldboy, Top 3 Unnecessary Remakes, Indie Spirit Awards – Episode 41

This week on the InSession Film Podcast, we discuss the new remake of Oldboy directed by Spike Lee and starring Josh Brolin, Samuel L. Jackson and Elizabeth Olsen. Going off that, we discuss our Top 3 Unnecessary Remakes as well as dive into the nominations of the Independent Spirit Awards which were announced last week. And to finish off the show, we discuss the awful tragedy of Paul Walker and discuss the films we’ve seen over the last week.

Our good friend Blake came by once again to help us break down Oldboy and once again, he was fantastic. Also, just as a fair warning, we always try to keep our podcasts PG-13 but there’s one short segment when we are discussing the heartbreaking situation surrounding Paul Walker, JD does go off on TMZ that’s a little more colorful than usual. Most of you probably won’t be offended anyway, but just in case, we wanted to throw that out there. Anyway, check out the show and let us know what you think in the comment section below. Hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

Top 3 Unnecessary Movie Remakes (37:59)
The original Oldboy, a Korean film by Park Chan-wook, is definitely a cult classic and over the last decade has become a beloved film by many film lovers. While it’s not a movie for everyone and it deals with a subject that is very niche, is it really necessary to remake? We’d argue no. So going off this week’s main review, we discussed our Top 3 Unnecessary Movie Remakes and there are a lot of them out there. So, what would be your Top 3?
