65.3 The Remakes Tribunal: Rat Race, Hudson Hawk

Concluding Issue 65 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd. It's still comedy month and now it's the Remakes Tribunal, putting bad filmmaking on trial. First up we put a remake in the dock and ask if it deserves to exist: this month it's Rat Race, an unofficial remake of 1963's It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. Then we have a parole hearing for a film which didn't work the first time and ask if a remake would fix its problems. This month we look at the disastrous Bruce Willis vehicle Hudson Hawk.
