It's an indie bonanza of the pod this week as we discuss a torrent of great games hitting the PC, along with the rebirth (again) of World of Warcraft, two games with a similar name, one game with a very long name and why Danny smells of goats & chickens today.

It's time to crack open the Tickle Trunk and dig out your formal attire, because we've got two beautifully crafted entrees that will wipe that "premium doc" format aftertaste out of your stupid mouth: John Wilson's The History of Concrete and Ross McElwee's Remake.
Wes Craven's Last House on the Left This week we begin an examination of Violence in Cinema, but primarily Violence Directed Against Women in Cinema, beginning with a look at West Craven's 1972 Grindhouse "Classic" Last House on the Left. An infamous and controversial cult film, Craven's re-imagining and updating of Ingmar Bergman's 1960 Swedish Classic, The Virgin Spring, is not an easy viewing. A low-budget, dirty, ugly, and disturbing film, Craven's effort is definitely amateurish, however there is (as far as I am concerned) the hint of a filmmaker with a developing style and need to challenge his artistic sensibility. A decade before A Nightmare on Elm Street and the creation of Freddy Krueger, Craven would take a rape and revenge fantasy and use it as a calling card to enter the World of Cinematic Horror. We discuss the film, but more importantly we discuss the style, violence, and themes that have always existed, but have been given life and power through this film. Take a listen and let us know what you think. As always we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com -Our Continued Love and Thanks. For those of you who would like to donate to this undying labor of love, you can do so with a contribution at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/watchrickramos - Anything and Everything is appreciated, You Cheap Bastards.

As the Shack continues the gang discuss Final Fantasy 7 (1997) and how it compares to Remake and Rebirth. As well they have in depth discussion on why let's plays are not a true replacement for playing video games.
Paramount is developing a Hawaii Five-O movie with Destin Daniel Cretton attached to direct and Bad Boys for Life writer Chris Bremner on the script. Cretton grew up on Maui and is coming off Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which means he can pick almost any job he wants right now.The project is in the packaging phase, so nothing is closed and no cast or date exists yet. Paramount gets the first swing because CBS made both the 1968 original and the 2010 remake, and the studio has been promising a 30 film theatrical slate, which makes a recognizable action property an easy yes. I get into why hiring a filmmaker from Hawaii matters after the pay fight that hit the remake, where this lands if Paramount passes, and which other old TV shows deserve the same treatment.0:00 Cretton Developing a Hawaii Five-O Movie0:15 Why Paramount Gets It First0:30 The Remake's Pay Problem0:47 Maverick and the Case for TV to Film RevivalsKey takeaways:Cretton is developing to direct with Chris Bremner writing. No cast, no release date, no closed deal.Paramount is the natural home because CBS produced the 1968 series and the 2010 remake, and the studio is trying to fill a much bigger theatrical slate.A director born and raised on Maui reads as a direct answer to the pay equity fight that pushed cast members off the remake.Frank's call is that Disney picks this up if Paramount lets it go."He's actually from Maui, so he knows Hawaii well." - Frank"If Paramount is stupid enough to let this pass, Disney will take it." - Frank"You take a Western and add a Sherlock Holmes, but a scoundrel in the mix. It's a blast." - FrankSources: Deadline, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter. Episode notes at GeekFreaksPodcast.comKnow somebody who still hums the Hawaii Five-O theme?

Continuing Issue 76 of Double Reel, the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd. This is the Remakes Tribunal where we put two films up for judgement. Continuing this month's Heist movie theme, our Remake on Trial is the 1999 update to The Thomas Crown Affair. Can Rene Russo and Pierce Brosnan match up to the iconic original pairing of Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway? Then we have a Parole Board for a film which didn't work the first time and see if a remake would fix its problems. This time it's the disastrous Ben Affleck-Charlize Theron vehicle Reindeer Games. The first two parts of the issue are out already - Double Reel Monthly and Classics & Hidden Gems - and we will have a Spotlight on the Coen Brothers next week.

W najnowszym wydaniu Raportu o Grach prześwietlamy prawdziwe trzęsienie ziemi w branży: PlayStation niespodziewanie wycofuje się z finansowania nowej gry Hideo Kojimy, a reżyser wraz ze swoim szpiegowskim Physint trafia pod skrzydła Xbox Game Studios! W tym samym czasie w obozie Sony wybuchają plotki o pracach nad remake'iem kultowego Killzone, a Microsoft wywołuje burzę ogłoszeniem 15-godzinnego limitu dla Xbox Cloud Gaming – z którego unijne prawo błyskawicznie wywalczyło wyjątek dla dotychczasowych graczy z Europy. Tymczasem Capcom kontynuuje swoją niesamowitą passę, a nowa odsłona Onimusha przekracza barierę miliona sprzedanych egzemplarzy w zaledwie 24 godziny! W audycji poruszamy również masę innych wątków: od darmowego update'u Mario Kart 8 Deluxe na Switcha 2, kontrowersyjnych deklaracji Sony o braku prawa własności do gier cyfrowych i planów wygaszenia wydań płytowych do 2028 roku, przez zdanie Hidekiego Kamiyi o preserwacji branży, zamrożenie prac nad Wiedźminem Remake oraz skasowanie „Super Game” przez Segę, aż po roczną obsuwę retro-konsoli NeoGeo AES, ucieczkę studia Saber z przerażająco drogiej Ameryki i oficjalny mod do Skyrima z gadającym regałem KALLAX z sklepu IKEA.(00:00:00) - START!(00:00:07) - Rozgrzewka
In the wee hours of the night, an absolute stunner landed. Prolific and beloved game director, Hideo Kojima, has killed off his partnership with PlayStation for his upcoming action-espionage title, PHYSINT, and signed on with Xbox. According to the man himself, PlayStation was ready to cancel his game this June! After three months of searching, he found his partner in XBOX. It's a partnership where Kojima claims that they "share a common vision for the future" which says more than just about anything else within this next. Those who recall the PHYSINT announcement in 2024 will also remember that this was TV/movie deal as well. According to the XBOX Wire, they've got that too! So, what gives? Is this just a money play? Has Sony lost touch with optical wins when it was only last generation that they reaped the massive benefits of saving Kojima from Konami? What is XBOX's end goal in all of this? There is much to discuss! Beyond that, we talk about the Cloud Gaming snafu, the diabolical Steam achievement leak, and so much more!Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement.0:00:00 - Intro (Gamescom and Pax West Debriefing)00:34:17 - Health Is Wealth00:46:26 - Will Metaphor: ReFantazio get a definitive edition?00:49:43 - Cog's thoughts on GTA 6 gameplay00:55:41 - Nintendo Direct recap01:04:04 - Ocarina Of Time Remake impressions01:30:30 - Developers opt out of Xbox's disc to digital program?01:37:55 - Every NPC in Fable is handcrafted01:41:42 - Hideki Kamiya once again requests to make Scalebound01:48:31 - Rumors suggest Forza Horizon 6 isn't coming to PS5 in 202601:50:43 - Blood Of Dawnwalker sequel in the works01:55:54 - More Final Fantasy 7 beyond the remakes01:59:20 - Capcom is focusing on reactivating IP02:02:31 - Witcher 1 Remake is on hold02:05:45 - PlayStation is looking to bring back Killzone02:12:05 - Venom game is still in development02:13:38 - Game Releases for September 202602:21:55 - What We're Playing03:04:45 - Hideo Kojima jumps ship to Xbox03:54:14 - The catastrophic Steam achievement leak03:18:37 - Xbox's Cloud Gaming Snafu Learn more about your ad choices.

Shannon Weber of the new (and great) St. Louis culture mag Soundbite stops by for her third visit with Joshua and Andrew. Could it be that she keeps getting her memories of the Take-Up erased, or does she really do just love it and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind that much? Find out if a second (!) Shannon pick enters the canon after the three discuss Charlie Kaufman (and Michel Gondry's) lovelorn memory-palace heist-movie. Is it one for the ages or simply another twee Aughts artifact?For One More Thing, Joshua takes trips down filmmaker Ross McElwee's memory lanes, recommending his 1986 breakout Sherman's March, and his new release, Remake. Meanwhile, Andrew is sticking up for the new-to-streaming subway-from-hell film Exit 8.On the next episode, find out if Joshua is finally on Jane Schoenbrun's wavelength or if Andrew has to convince him that Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is actually great.

In dieser Folge nehmen wir die Highlights von SEGA, Atlus und Bandai Namco unter die Lupe! Von düsterer Strategie bis zu stilvollem JRPG-Flair war die Messe dieses Jahr vollgepackt mit echten Schwergewichten. Total War: Warhammer 40.000: SEGA wagt endlich den Schritt ins grimme Dunkel der fernen Zukunft. Wir sprechen über die ersten Gameplay-Eindrücke, riesige Panzerschlachten und wie gut das Total War-Prinzip mit Space Marines funktioniert. Persona 4 Revival & Stranger than Heaven: Atlus schickt uns mit dem lang ersehnten Persona 4-Remake zurück nach Inaba – wir verraten, was der spielbare Messe-Ausschnitt taugte. Außerdem werfen wir einen Blick auf das stylische Jazz-Noir-Projekt Stranger than Heaven. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3: Bandai Namco lässt wieder die Fäuste fliegen! Was macht der dritte Teil des Prügel-Hits neu und kann er Fans nach all den Jahren noch überraschen? Jetzt reinhören und erfahren, welche Anspielstationen vor Ort die langen Schlangen wirklich wert waren!
Why hasn’t The Sound of Music been remade? That question makes us ponder the rules that determine which Hollywood properties can be recycled indefinitely and which apparently must remain untouched. Movie scenes and celebrity anecdotes keep complicating the distinction between cultural treasure and something people simply like for no good reason. Someone made proposal that Dolly Parton needs to be a saint, a proposal that's problematic on it's own terms but doubly probIematic when the proposition comes from an atheist. If canonization worked by popular vote, celebrities would arrive with ready-made constituencies, because fame has a way of turning reputation into evidence of virtue. Popular celebrities are assigned virtues by their fans. The focus widens to another cultural achievement: convincing people to buy things that are readily available for free. Water, dirt, coffee, and other everyday products become examples of what happens when marketing convinces us to pay a premium price for bargain level items. By the time the Hollywood Walk of Fame enters the discussion, movies, sainthood, products, and celebrity status are all running on surprisingly similar rules. A classic film can become too revered to remake, Dolly Parton can accumulate saintly credentials through public affection, and water or dirt can acquire value through presentation—while Hollywood puts famous names into the sidewalk and lets everybody walk on them.

The 2002 remake of Resident Evil is often considered one of the greatest (and most faithful) video game remakes ever made. But is it really as faithful as its reputation suggests? In this episode of The Remake Trials, we compare Resident Evil (1996) with Resident Evil (2002), explore the strange development history behind both games, examine how the remake transforms the original's horror, discuss tank controls, Crimson Heads, Lisa Trevor, B-movie filmmaking, authorial intent, and the changing identity of Resident Evil. And at the end, we place REmake on our Remake Fidelity Matrix. Is Resident Evil Remake still the gold standard for faithful remakes? Maybe, but it's more complicated than we thought.

“We have deluded ourselves into thinking that we are as gods, and we are not.” — John West Back in 2006, at the height of Web 2.0 optimism, Time made YOU person of the year. The user-generated technology of the internet, Time implied, would make all of us into digital gods of memory and forgetting. Twenty years later, the script has been totally flipped. Now we know that the internet is all-too-human. And so are we. This reminder of our mortality is the heart (if that's the right word) of the new book by John West, the double Pulitzer Prize-winning Wall Street Journal computational journalist. West's The Internet Will Die, and So Will You is a kind of digital memento mori. His argument is metaphysical rather than political. Offline, he writes, our lives are marked by constraint. But we mistake the internet's destruction of physical distance for limitlessness. “We have deluded ourselves into thinking that we are as gods,” he reminds us, “and we are not.” A Christian and a digital deconvert (not an uncommon combination in the technocrati), West wants us to import our mortality online. If we recognize that the internet will decay and finally die, he suggests, we will make it human. (Re)Make it, as us. I've been making a version of this argument since The Cult of the Amateur in 2007. Only West's version — by contrasting Bach, Ecclesiastes, and Mary Oliver with the infinite scroll — is more poetic and musical. Politer too. Noli timere, as the poet Seamus Heaney texted before he died. Be not afraid. Of life, of death. But beware of YOU. Be afraid. Timere. Very afraid. Five Takeaways • We Are Not Gods. The book's thesis: offline life is marked by constraint — you cannot talk to people farther than you can shout, or hug your child while she's at school — while online we act at a distance and mistake that “foot-loosening technology” for limitlessness. “We have deluded ourselves into thinking that we are as gods, and we are not” — the AI singularity being the theological version of the same delusion, and “a recipe for disaster, both interpersonally, but also within ourselves.” The fix is not logging off but bringing our mortality online: “this is where we live,” and the Internet's magic only stays magical when tempered by limits — “in order for it to be magical, we need the flip side, which is that it can't always be magic.” Andrew's frame: in 2006, Time made YOU person of the year, promising digital gods of memory and forgetting. Twenty years on, the internet is all-too-human — and so are we.• The Deconvert's Meditation. “No one is more strident than the convert or the deconvert.” West's digital utopianism began in a middle-school computer lab, where an unhappy kid discovered he could find friends and communities online — and it died by monkey's paw: the same mechanism that found him anime fans now routes lonely kids into pro-anorexia TikTok rabbit holes (his own Journal colleagues' reporting) and neo-Nazi forums. “That supercharging is something that I wished for.” He concedes the lineage Andrew has worked since The Cult of the Amateur (2007) and The Internet Is Not the Answer (2015) — and goes further: “I actually think largely, Plato and Postman were right.” Culture must metabolize its technological ruptures. Or, per the Freudian slip Andrew gifted back to him for the next book: its raptures. Andrew's verdict on the lineage: the same argument, more poetic and musical. Politer too.• A Few Thousand Weeks. On the Luddite summer, West channels past guest Brian Merchant: hatred of technology is usually hatred of lost control. The backlash against AI data centers is about being “completely removed from democratic control over that technology,” and the marketing — a magic box that will take your job — has backfired predictably. His arithmetic of dignity: we get only a few thousand weeks on this earth, and “our dignity demands that we have some say over what we do with our lives.” He cites Freddie deBoer's Copernican principle — everyone believes they live at history's hinge — then breaks it honestly: “but I also think this time, it might be right,” the elder millennial awestruck at the rupture he came of age inside.• Religious, Not Spiritual. West inverts the modern chestnut: “everyone says they're spiritual and not religious these days. I actually think it's important to be religious, and spiritual can take it or leave it” — religion being “a powerful technology” for binding people into the civic fabric. His Christianity runs to liberation theology: not storing up treasure for the glorious day, but making this world more just now. Hence Bach cantatas, Ecclesiastes, and Mary Oliver as the book's unnamed philosophies — and hence his verdict on the billionaires who struggle with finitude: it doesn't shock him that men who earn millions while sleeping believe themselves gods, since “every dollar is like a little Iago whispering poison into the ears of the Silicon Valley elite.” The advantage belongs to us mere normals, unburdened by the whispering.• Noli Timere. The Latin on West's X page — be not afraid — was Seamus Heaney's last text message, sent by SMS before the surgery he didn't survive, then carried by the Internet to thousands who found hope in it. That, West argues, is the network at its best: “it is about how you spend your time on the Internet, not what you can do on the Internet.” On memory, his formula is to remember “not more and not less, but rather differently” — choosing what we remember (the Odyssey's oral re-membering, retold body to body) rather than having it forced on us (the red solo cup photos, the traumas that refuse processing). The great mismatch of the web: “the things that we think should be permanent are often the things that are the most impermanent online, and the things that I really wish would fade away are the ones that refuse to.” Andrew's send-off inverts Heaney: be not afraid — of life, of death. But beware of YOU, the ultimate human conceit. Timere. Very afraid. About the Guest John West is a writer and technologist. He reports the news with code at The Wall Street Journal, where his work has won multiple awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes. The Boston Globe called his first book, Lessons and Carols: A Meditation on Recovery, “lyrical and crystalline.” He holds an MFA from the Bennington Writing Seminars and degrees in philosophy and music performance from Oberlin College, and lives outside Kingston, New York, with his partner, children, and unruly cat. The Internet Will Die, and So Will You (Here Below, September 10, 2026) is his digital memento mori.

Send us Fan MailGrab a drink and pull up a chair—it's time to destroy some childhoods (or save them). In this episode, we're putting three absolute monoliths of 80s cinema on the chopping block: Die Hard, Ghostbusters, and Back to the Future.Which masterpiece is an untouchable Watch forever? Which concept has enough modern potential to survive a high-budget Remake? And which sacred cow gets sent straight to the cinematic Kill list?

Jamal Bryant called Nolan Wells' death a lynching on the boy's 19th birthday. He brought cake to the sanctuary. Ben Crump in the pulpit. Spike Lee in a pew. No charging document. Crump's independent autopsy still says undetermined. Jason Whitlock puts Pastor Jamal Bryant's Genesis shout and missing-throat line next to Jussie Smollett. Same empty file. Different pulpit. Parents asked what happened. Bryant sold a sequel. "Harmony." Culture, faith, and the plot hole they covered with hot rhetoric.

With a wealth of quality-of-life features, a new town, and a ton of new Pokémon, is this DLC worth buying?Then, Hagen is making his first appearance on Random Encounter to chat about a remake of one of his all-time favorites, Gothic 1 Remake.

In 2019, John Fenley was 39, newly separated, and living in one of his mother's rental apartments in Provo, Utah. Searching LoopNet for the biggest building at the lowest price, he found a 220,000-square-foot warehouse on 17 acres in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, listed at $375,000. He assumed the price was a typo. He had never been to Arkansas. He bought it anyway — and then bought Murfie, a bankrupt Wisconsin startup, inheriting roughly a million CDs belonging to strangers.What followed was copper thieves, a pandemic lockdown that stranded his shipping containers, a running battle with Pine Bluff's zoning office, and a feud with Go Forward Pine Bluff, the tax-funded nonprofit he believed was blocking him at every turn. Then an $890,000 windfall landed in his bank account, and he bought 74 parcels at a tax auction, making him one of the largest landowners in town. Writer Max Read dubbed him "The Man Who Bought Pine Bluff, Arkansas." Four years later, he's still there.Subscribe to our newsletter: https://jedlipinski.substack.com/ Connect with Jed Lipinski:https://www.instagram.com/gonesouthpodcast/https://www.facebook.com/groups/gonesouthpodcast/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jed-lipinski/
