In this episode of the show we are once more catching up with our ongoing Spike Lee project and this time we are talking about his 2013 remake of the cult classic Oldboy. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about the many possible reasons why Spike Lee would end up attracted to this project, how his vision may have differed from what we received and how we might never find out if this movie had a fighting chance, and just how convenient the script is on too many occasions. We also talk about it functioning as a comic book movie, Josh Brolin’s hygiene, Elizabeth Olsen’s t-shirt, Sam Jackson’s knitting habits, and Sharlto Copley’s many mannerisms and outbursts that either bring down the movie as a whole or bring it up to a level inaccessible to mortal viewers.

Tune in and enjoy!
