  • BOOMCAST #37 - REMAKES AND REBOOTS #4: PSYCHOS
    Oct 29 2025

    Turn on the shower. Disrobe. Cue the music! Tonight, Ben Lewandowski and I consider the merits of the classic 1960 thriller PSYCHO, directed by the master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock. As well as the very curious remake in 1998 directed by Gus Van Zant. This is an interesting one folks, since no other filmmaker has ever intentionally set out to copy a film to this degree. Ben and I had a great time discussing these films and we hope you will have just as good a time listening to our ramblings. Let's go!

  • BOOMCAST #31 - REMAKES AND REBOOTS #2: THE FOG
    Jul 25 2025

    In 1980 Director John Carpenter released one of the finest ghost stories in cinema. 25 years later the film was remade, following the same blueprint for the most part while introducing new elements. Ben Lewandowski and I attempt to examine both films and offer our insights. Was the newer version up to snuff? Is the original a true classic? A must listen for Carpenter fans. Lots of discussion. Lots of fun. Let's go!
