“The idea that you’re gonna put Kilmer and Brando in the same movie and you expect this to go well...” - Steve
This week on WHM, Remake-ril boards a plane to fly to a mysterious destination in the South Pacific as the guys chat about one of the most notorious Hollywood disasters of the 1990s, John Frankenheimer’s The Island of Dr. Moreau!
Who on Earth thought it was a good idea to get Brando involved in this? Does our society really want monkey butlers? What was Kilmer smoking while filming this—no seriously, any strain info? How was this movie only PG-13 with all these horrific mon-stars? Why was mainstream pop culture kinda cool with a little light beastiality in the 1990s? And credit where credit’s due, Stan Winston hit it out of the park with the monster make-up. PLUS: The return of the VHS Trailer Game!
The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996) stars David Thewlis, Val Kilmer, Fairuza Balk, Daniel Rigney, Temuera Morrison, Nelson de la Rosa, Mark Dacascos, Ron Perlman, Marco Hofschneider, and Marlon Brando as Dr. Moreau; directed by John Frankenheimer.

“You put Dawn of the Dead, Romero’s, and Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later in the copy machine at the same time…” - Eric on this movie's vibe
On this week’s episode Remake-ril kicks off on WHM and we’re chatting about the pretty okay Zack Snyder feature debut, Dawn of the Dead! 
A reimagining of George A. Romero's zombified capitalist critique, Snyder brought the franchise into the 21st Century with a more action-driven, but still fun vision. Shouldn’t James Gunn have written like, eight-to-ten fewer characters to jam in here? How amazing is Ving, as always? How eerie is that zombie baby? Could Mark Borchardt and Mike Schank have made a zombie outbreak documentary? And were we wrong about goofing on Richard Cheese all these years? PLUS: Could a zombie virus destroy the city of Duckberg?
Dawn of the Dead (2004) stars Sarah Polley, Ving Rhames, Mekhi Phifer, Jake Weber, Ty Burrell, Michael Kelly, Kevin Zegers, Michael Barry, Lindy Booth, Jayne Eastwood, Boyd Banks, Inna Korobkina, and Matt Frewer as Frank; directed by Zack Snyder.

“Martin Sheen pops like a grape!” - Andrew on Captain Queenan’s demise
On this month’s We ❤️ Movies, Remake-ril is in full effect as we chat about Martin Scorsese’s Oscar-winning remake, The Departed! 
A reimagining of Andrew Lau Wai-Keung & Alan Mak’s Infernal Affairs, this is the flick that finally won Scorsese his first (and only) Oscar for directing. How majestic are all these wild-ass accents flying around this movie? Is this Marty’s most grim look at the mob? How great is this Damon/Farmiga elevator meet cute? Isn’t it great looking back at all this quaint cell phone technology? And how lucky are we to have gotten one last amazing Nicholson psycho performance? PLUS: If Yondu from Guardians of the Galaxy shows up at your apartment wearing paper booties, look out!
The Departed stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, Ray Winstone, Vera Farmiga, Anthony Anderson, Alec Baldwin, Kevin Corrigan, James Badge Dale, and Jack Nicholson as Frank Costello; directed by Martin Scorsese.

“Just tell me there’s an alien ship that’s putting time juice in them…” - Eric
On this week’s episode, the 2026 Listener Request Month comes to a close with a chat about the Andrew Niccol sci-fi head-scratcher, In Time!
Would this make more sense if they were robots? How about vampires? Should this just have been a vampire movie? Why is everyone in this movie driving a classic car? Should this film have just followed Cillian Murphy’s character around? Is Timberlake an action lead? And what in the world is going on with all the Time Arm Wrestling? PLUS: The time detectives raid the house of the old lady from The Fugitive!
In Time stars Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried, Olivia Wilde, Shiloh Oostwald, Johnny Galecki, Ray Santiago, Matt Bomer, Zuleyka Silver, Laura Ashley Samuels, Alex Pettyfer, and Cillian Murphy as Raymond Leon; directed by Andrew Niccol.

“Always love a scroll…” - Steve on the film’s opening text
On this week’s episode, Listener Request Month takes us to Direct-to-DVD-Sequel Land as we’re tasked with watching and chatting about a horror sequel absolutely no one was asking for, White Noise 2: The Light! 
With Firefly’s Nathan Fillion and Battlestar Galactica’s Katie Sackhoff leading this cast, is this movie like the SyFy Channel prom, where all your science fiction adventurers are getting together? How in the world does Dennis’s Diner stay in business after this opening incident? How hilarious is that Looney Tunes piano death? And are there really that many near-death experiences (NDEs) per day in this country? PLUS: A brief history of the Direct-to-DVD sequel craze of the aughts!
White Noise 2: The Light stars Nathan Fillion, Katie Sackhoff, Adrian Holmes, Kendall Cross, Teryl Rothery, William MacDonald, Josh Ballard, and Craig Fairbrass as Henry Caine; directed by Patrick Lussier.
