Welcome to The Crow Control: The Original vs. The Remake, the movie review podcast where we dive into the gothic, brooding, angsty world of The Crow. This episode was recorded slightly different to the rest of the series and the review on the 2024 remake was based on one watch at the cinema for both of us.
First, we’ll revisit the 1994 classic, where Brandon Lee plays Eric Draven, a man who comes back from the dead to seek vengeance while dressed like he just stepped off a goth fashion runway.
Then, we’ll plunge into the 2024 remake (because of course Hollywood decided it needed a reboot), which tries to capture the same gritty vibe while looking like it was made by someone who just Googled “how to make a cool movie in 2024.” From punk rock to pop culture, the podcast will discuss how The Crow has gone from cult classic to weirdly underappreciated remake. Strap in for some killer goth vibes, questionable fashion choices, and way too much angst!
Two long time friends, one podcast.
Welcome to The Deja Review.
Enjoy the episode and remember to like, follow and tell your friends.
As always a massive thank you to Little Foil Fish for our theme tune.Little_Foil_Fish
