Recovered
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 59: Roads, Houses
Get ready for a lot of punching and a little plot as Recovered takes on Road House! In 1989, Patrick Swayze is a legendary bouncer (something we're assured exists) out to save a struggling Kansas bar from the local tyrant rich man through calm, Zen, and if needed some fisticuffs. Jump forward to about a month ago, and Jake Gyllenhaal plays a very different Dalton out to save a somewhat different Florida Keys saloon from a mostly different blend of spoiled rich jerk through fisticuffs and if needed, some calm and Zen. Who pulls off more cool, better banter, and a more believable world? And which supporting character is the best character in either movie? Dan and Keith have takes a-plenty, listen and learn!
