Recovered

By: Dan Gibbins and Keith Kollee
  • Summary

  • 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.

Episodes
  • Episode 59: Roads, Houses
    Apr 25 2024

    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!

  • Episode 58: Reboots to Come Revisited
    Apr 11 2024

    Back in early 2023, Dan and Keith did a special two-part episode looking at franchises speeding towards a reboot, and reboot/remakes hitting screens in 2023. Now they return for updates: which franchises are getting closer to hitting the screen? Which are farther away somehow and why? Plus Dan gives brief reviews of Wonka, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Evil Dead Rise, and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, plus if you pay attention, there's an accidental sneak peek of our next episode. Tune in!

  • Punishers Revisited
    Mar 28 2024

    Recovered is taking a brief break to process some unfortunate real-world issues, and while we do that, we're pleased to bring back one of our favourites, Crimes and Punishers. Get ready for pizza parties, pity parties, and an attempt to make "Yummy in my tummy" feel threatening as Dolph Lundgren, Thomas Jane, and the late, great Ray Stevenson bring three very different takes on Frank Castle's war on crime. Enjoy this Recovered Re-Release, and we'll be back soon.
