70.3 The Remakes Tribunal: Blue Streak, War on Everyone

Continuing Issue 70 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd. Now it's the Remakes Tribunal putting two more films up for judgement and continuing our Dirty Cops theme. First up a remake on trial, asking if Blue Streak was right to reboot an old British caper film and deserves to exist. Then we have a parole hearing for a film that didn't work the first time. Would a remake fix the many problems with John Patrick McDonagh's War on Everyone?

The first parts of the issue are already out - Double Reel Monthly and Classics and Hidden Gems. A Spotlight episode on Bong Joon Ho will be out next week.
