The Deja ReviewRobocop vs. Robo-RebootWelcome to Robocop vs. Robo-Reboot, the podcast where we pit the original 1987 cyberpunk classic against the 2014 CGI-infused remake in a battle for sci-fi supremacy—and yes, we’ll be judging these films based on everything from their robotic crime-fighting abilities to how ridiculous they both are. One movie features a murderous Detroit, a robot cop with a conscience, and the kind of violence that makes you question your life choices. The other? Well, it’s the 2014 remake, which somehow made Robocop look more like an iPhone with a moustache and a sombrero than a human-turned-cyborg.Get ready for a metall...2025-04-271h 18
The Deja ReviewShell Shocked: The TMNT Movie ShowdownThe podcast where we’re diving deep into the radical world of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – from the 1990 classic that made pizza a lifestyle, to the 2014 CGI-fuelled reboot that... well, let’s just say the turtles have arms that defy physics.Join us as we toss back a slice of pizza (preferably one that’s got a huge amount of pepperoni on it, sorry Trev) and debate which version of Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo truly owns the sewer.Spoiler alert: It’s definitely not the one where they fight the Shredder with a giant metal fist...2025-04-1357 min
The Deja ReviewFourteen Outlaws, Two Movies, Too Many HorsesWelcome to Fourteen Outlaws, Two Movies, Too Many Horses, the podcast where two films, 56 horses, and at least one dramatic standoff are compared in the most ridiculous way possible. In this episode, your lovable hosts attempt to unravel the mystery of why seven outlaws are always willing to risk it all for the little guy – and how they manage to look so dang good while doing it.In this showdown of cinematic classics, we take a hard look at both the original Magnificent Seven (1960) and the 2016 remake – because why settle for one group of rugged cowboys when you...2025-03-3056 min
The Deja ReviewGolden Ticket Showdown: Willy Wonka vs. Johnny DeppWelcome to Golden Ticket Showdown, the podcast where we put two candy-coated films head-to-head in a battle for supremacy: the 1971 classic Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory vs. Tim Burton’s 2005 reboot Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. One is a whimsical musical with Oompa-Loompas who have questionable fashion choices. The other is… well, a fever dream starring Johnny Depp in possibly the most unsettling Willy Wonka performance ever recorded.Each episode, we’ll dive into the colorful, candy-filled worlds of chocolate rivers, golden tickets, and enough questionable parenting decisions to make you question your childhood. Who's the better Wonka...2025-03-161h 03
The Deja ReviewGet Carter: A Tale of Two Tough Guys and Too Many Dead BodiesWelcome to Get Carter, the podcast where we take a look at two very different versions of the same crime classic—1971's Get Carter, starring Michael Caine as the ultimate hard-nosed, suit-wearing, vengeance-seeking British bad boy, and 2000’s Get Carter, starring Sylvester Stallone as… well, a man who really, really wants to wear a leather jacket and punch things. The only thing they have in common? A lot of people get got. But who does it better? The smooth, steely-eyed Caine or the grizzled, "I’ll punch a wall for no reason" Stallone? Let’s find out in this explosive...2025-03-0251 min
The Deja ReviewBonus Episode - The Deja Review 2025 Awards SpecialWelcome to “The Deja Review 2025 Awards Special”, the one night a year where we gather to hand out awards for the best, the worst, actors and movies of what we reviewed in 2024. In this glamorous, definitely-not-glittery event hosted by your favourite unqualified critics who somehow managed to sit through all of these movies and more.Grab your popcorn (or your glass of wine... or both) and join us as we laugh, cry, and side-eye the movies that made us say “Wait, haven't we seen this already?”Two long time friends, one podcast.Thi...2025-02-2320 min
The Deja ReviewUp, Up, and Whoa: A Super ShowdownWelcome to Up, Up, and Whoa: A Super Showdown, the podcast where we pit two very different versions of the Man of Steel against each other in a battle for superhero supremacy! On one side, we have the iconic 1978 Superman, where Christopher Reeve basically defined "good guy" for generations, and on the other, we have Man of Steel (2013), where Zack Snyder took Superman to the extreme, made him broody, and got him in more fistfights than a bar at happy hour. Is one version truly more heroic, or is this just a case of "old-school charm vs. angry, CGI-fuelled...2025-02-161h 20
The Deja ReviewThe Longest Yard: A Football Movie for Every Decade (And a Lot of Hitting)Welcome to The Longest Yard: A Football Movie for Every Decade (And a Lot of Hitting), the podcast where we review both the 1974 classic and the 2005 remake, and try to figure out why we love watching grown men hit each other in various ways. We’re diving deep into the world of sports movies that are only technically about football, but really are just an excuse to watch Burt Reynolds and Adam Sandler orchestrate the most ridiculous prison football game ever. So, grab your helmet (and maybe a few ice packs) because we’re going to get into the hear...2025-02-0243 min
The Deja ReviewMartians and Mayhem: A Tale of Two “Invaders”Welcome to Martians and Mayhem: A Tale of Two “Invaders”, the podcast where we review both versions of the Invaders from Mars movies and try to figure out why Martians are so obsessed with Earth (and, apparently, 80s hairstyles). We’ll dive into the 1953 sci-fi classic that has us all wondering if aliens really did land in a desert somewhere, and then compare it to the 1986 remake that’s almost as absurd, but with a lot more neon lights, mullets, and way more questionable acting choices. Spoiler alert: The aliens are still trying to kidnap everyone, and the humans are stil...2025-01-1946 min
The Deja ReviewTomb Raider: Tombs, Raids, and Lara's Unbelievable AdventuresWelcome to Tomb Raider: Tombs, Raids, and Lara’s Unbelievable Adventures, the podcast where we dig deep into the two completely different Tomb Raider movies—the 2001 original with Angelina Jolie and the 2018 reboot with Alicia Vikander. We’ll be deciphering the mysteries of ancient tombs, debating how many times Lara Croft can survive a near-death experience before we start to wonder if she’s secretly part cat, and asking the all-important question: Why does Lara always look so ridiculously perfect after falling into a waterfall or being chased by explosions?Grab your dual pistols, strap on your survival...2025-01-0553 min
The Deja ReviewScrooge vs. Scrooged: Ghosts, Grinches, and Bill Murray's Charm OffensiveWelcome to Scrooge vs. Scrooged: Ghosts, Grinches, and Bill Murray’s Charm Offensive, the podcast where we compare the timeless classic A Christmas Carol (in the form of Scrooge, the 1951 version starring Alastair Sim) to Scrooged, the modern-day (aka 1988) Bill Murray vehicle where he’s basically playing Bill Murray but in a Christmas carol. We’ll be diving into two completely different films with the same moral, but one is set in Victorian London, and the other is set in a neon-lit, TV network executive office where things explode in the most Bill Murray way possible.So, grab y...2024-12-2251 min
The Deja ReviewFreaky Fridays: Body Swaps, Parental Panic, and Teen DramaWelcome to Freaky Fridays: Body Swaps, Parental Panic, and Teen Drama, the podcast where we review not one, but two versions of Freaky Friday—the classic 1976 version starring Jodie Foster and Barbara Harris, and the iconic 2003 remake with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. It’s the ultimate “What if my mom and I swapped bodies” scenario, and trust us, it’s as chaotic as it sounds.Join us as we deep dive into the heart-warming chaos of body-swapping, teen angst, and mother-daughter bonding (but mostly body swapping). We’ll answer the big questions: Which version is more “realis...2024-12-0851 min
The Deja ReviewDeath Race 2000 vs. Death Race: Cars, Carnage, and ChaosWelcome to Death Race 2000 vs. Death Race: Cars, Carnage, and Chaos, the podcast where we take on the ultimate vehicular bloodbath in the most absurd way possible. We’re pitting the wildly 70s cult classic Death Race 2000 against the brutally gritty, rev-your-engine reboot Death Race (2008). And let’s just say, it’s a race to the finish line to see which movie is more ridiculous—and maybe which one involves more explosions or ridiculous death tolls.In one corner, we’ve got a delightfully campy dystopian race where the point of the game is to run over pedestrian...2024-11-2456 min
The Deja ReviewThe Manchurian Candidates: Brainwashing, Conspiracies, and So Much Tea!Welcome to The Manchurian Candidates: Brainwashing, Conspiracies, and So Much Tea!, the podcast where we dive into the classic, mind-bending paranoia thriller The Manchurian Candidate (1962) and its slightly less subtle 2004 remake. We’re talking about government mind control, hidden plots, and a lot of suits—all while asking the really important questions: Who’s brainwashing who? And do any of these people even know what’s going on?Join us as we dissect the chillingly intense original, starring Frank Sinatra and Angela Lansbury, and compare it to the 2004 update, starring Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep, which involves politica...2024-11-1052 min
The Deja ReviewThe Evil Dead vs. Evil Dead (2013): Chainsaws, Blood, and Bad DecisionsWelcome to The Evil Dead vs. Evil Dead (2013): Chainsaws, Blood, and Bad Decisions, the podcast where we take a frightfully fun dive into two very different versions of the same horror classic. First, we have the campy, low-budget horror glory of Sam Raimi’s 1981 Evil Dead, a movie so full of groovy chainsaw action and over-the-top gore that it made people question, “Is this supposed to be funny? Or terrifying? Or both?” Then, we’ve got the grim and gritty 2013 remake, where everyone is less interested in campiness and more focused on bleeding from every orifice while not laughing at all.2024-10-271h 20
The Deja ReviewDreams, Screams, and Freddy: The Original vs. The RebootWelcome to Dreams, Screams, and Freddy: The Original vs. The Reboot, the podcast where we journey into the nightmare that is A Nightmare on Elm Street, with Freddy Krueger leading the way (and probably wearing a dirty sweater and carrying a terrifying glove with knives). But wait, there’s a twist! We’re not just talking about the 1984 original—we’re also diving into the 2010 remake, where Freddy looks like he’s been through some rough years and the nightmares get extra creepy… and maybe a little bit confusing.In this episode, we’ll compare the classic slasher Freddy...2024-10-131h 06
The Deja ReviewTime Travel Trouble: The Time Machine vs. The RemakeWelcome to Time Travel Trouble: The Time Machine vs. The Remake, the podcast where we boldly go where no sane person should ever go—into the confusing vortex of time travel with two versions of the same classic story. First, we’ll venture back to the 1960 version where a guy in a sharp suit (but apparently no common sense) builds a time machine and heads straight into the future to possibly make some poor decisions. Then, we’ll hop to the 2002 remake, where the time machine looks a bit more futuristic, the special effects are shinier, but maybe not all th...2024-09-291h 17
The Deja ReviewPoint Breakdown: The Original vs. The RemakeWelcome to Point Breakdown: The Original vs. The Remake, the podcast where we talk about one of the most ridiculously awesome movies of all time: Point Break. First, we’ll be riding the waves of the 1991 classic, where we get a perfect storm of surfing, bank robbing, and Keanu Reeves being Keanu (which is just pure magic). Then, we’ll hit the 2015 remake, where the waves are even bigger, the stunts are crazier, and the acting is... well, let’s say “different”. Strap in, because whether you're an extreme sport fanatic or just someone who enjoys watching people do dangerous...2024-09-1553 min
The Deja ReviewCrow Control: The Original vs. The RemakeWelcome to Crow Control: The Original vs. The Remake, the podcast where we dive into the gothic, brooding, angsty world of The Crow. 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 2019 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 2019.” From pun...2024-09-011h 39
The Deja ReviewClash of the Reboots: Titans vs. TitansWelcome to Clash of the Reboots: Titans vs. Titans, where we battle two versions of a movie that’s basically just a bunch of ancient gods, mythical monsters, Claymation and bad CGI. First, we’ll dive into the 1981 original, which, despite the less-than-ground-breaking special effects, is a classic in every sense of the word. It has Harry Hamlin in a toga and a mechanical owl with a complex personality. In a place where the real monsters were made from clay, puppets, and good old-fashioned craftsmanship. Then, we’ll compare it to the 2010 remake, where CGI is so powerful it can tr...2024-08-181h 16
The Deja Review"I Am The Law... and So Is He” - The Judge Dredd ShowdownWelcome to “I Am The Law... and So Is He”, the podcast where we review the ultimate clash of judges—but not the kind you’d want at a courtroom. Oh no, we’re talking about the two films that took the future of law enforcement and made it extremely awkward, extremely awesome, or just extremely weird—depending on who you ask. We’re diving into the 1995 version of Judge Dredd, starring Sylvester Stallone in his most “I’m taking this seriously, but not really” role ever, and the 2012 reboot, Dredd, where Karl Urban showed the world that sometimes the most intimidatin...2024-08-041h 27
The Deja ReviewOverboard, Underwater, and Over the Top” - The Overboard ShowdownWelcome to “Overboard, Underwater, and Over the Top”, the podcast where we review one of the most ridiculous premises in rom-com history—two versions of Overboard! First, the classic 1987 version, starring Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, where a rich woman gets amnesia, and a handyman takes advantage of her memory loss to convince her she’s his wife. (Totally normal, right?) And then, the 2018 remake, which flips the script by swapping the genders and somehow ratchets up the ridiculousness—with Anna Faris as a poor woman taking advantage of a rich man’s amnesia. It’s a charming mix of nostalgia a...2024-07-2145 min
The Deja ReviewKlaatu, Barada, and... The Remake That Ruined the CatchphraseWelcome to “Klaatu, Barada, and... The Remake That Ruined the Catchphrase”, the podcast where we dive deep into the alien invasion classic that gave us the iconic Klaatu barada nikto—and then take a long, hard look at the 2008 remake that made us all collectively wonder, “Wait... so that’s how you were going to reboot this?” We’re comparing the 1951 original, where a flying saucer lands on Earth and an alien named Klaatu brings a peaceful message (or does he?), to the 2008 remake, where Keanu Reeves shows up covered in snot to, uh, save the planet? Tune in as we dissect...2024-07-0751 min
The Deja ReviewThe Italian Job vs. The Remake: Similar Cars, Totally Different PlansWelcome to “The Italian Job vs. The Remake: Similar Cars, Totally Different Plans”, the podcast where we compare the original 1969 caper classic, full of Mini Coopers, cheeky Brits, and gold heists, to the 2003 remake, which took the same premise, added Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, and a whole lot of explosions (because why not?). In this episode, we’ll dive into how one version made us want to steal gold and drive around in tiny cars, and the other made us wonder if we should just start a gang of car thieves and trust no one. It’s a battle of Briti...2024-06-231h 08
The Deja ReviewRoadhouse: The Original Bouncer vs. The Rebooted RoundhouseWelcome to “Roadhouse: The Original Bouncer vs. The Rebooted Roundhouse”, in our first ever 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 vers...2024-06-0959 min
