EP.37 Rob Reiner Legacy and the Thin Line Between Remakes and Rip-Offs!

Mike and Angel are back to talk about the tragic news of iconic actor and filmmaker Rob Reiner. They honor his incredible ’80s and ’90s run, from directing the mockumentary genius of This Is Spinal Tap to the courtroom tension of A Few Good Men. Reiner mastered every genre, defining our nostalgia through films that still resonate to this day.

Then, Mike and Angel dive into the thin line between remakes, carbon copies, and glaring rip-offs. They debate if The Hunger Games is a blatant copy of Battle Royale, while exposing secret remakes that might be too close for comfort. It’s about who wraps the gift better as we look toward a massive 2026. Enjoy!
