Welcome to “Roadhouse: The Original Bouncer vs. The Rebooted Roundhouse”, in our first ever movie review episode, we take the legendary 1989 action classic that brought us Patrick Swayze, kick-ass bouncer philosophy, and karate in a bar—and compare it to the 2024 remake that somehow managed to make us wonder if we need less fighting, but more yoga.
We’ll dive into the nostalgic, mulleted magic of the original film, where Swayze is a philosophical muscleman with a dark past, and then review the reboot where Jake Gyllenhaal tries to bring a little zen to the whole "fighting for justice" thing. Spoiler: One version has more roundhouse kicks, the other... has a lot more heart-to-heart therapy sessions.
It's the ultimate showdown between Swayze’s philosophy of violence and Jake's journey of emotional healing. Grab your leather jacket, we’re about to kick it into high gear!
Two long time friends.
