Terrortinos Podcast - EP24. Generation Gap: 1989's Road House Vs. 2024's Road House
If you've been following along with this Substack, you've likely noticed it's a hub for fans of '80s and '90s movies. We might be a little biased, but we believe these two decades birthed some of the greatest films ever made, and they continue to shape modern cinema.
But if you haven't stumbled upon us at "Terrortinos," let us give you a quick intro: We're Mike and Angel, old pals since high school back in the early '90s. Like many friendships from our era, ours was built on shared cultural references, mainly from movies and TV shows of that time.
We've been running the Terrortinos podcast for the past two years simply because we enjoy getting together and talking about our favorite movies. Our discussions often veer into nostalgic recollections of the films we treasured growing up. And sometimes, we share memories of watching those classics together for the first time in theaters.
If the idea of two regular old chums shooting the breeze about classic movies sounds appealing to you, you might want to give us a listen. Hop on over to our podcast page for our newest episode titled: "Generation Gap: 1989's Road House Vs. 2024's Road House."
In this episode, we dive into a comparison between the beloved '80s action romp "Road House," starring Patrick Swayze, and its recent remake starring the brooding Jake Gyllenhaal. But it's not just about the movies -- it sparked a broader discussion about the generation gap and whether films from the '80s and '90s still strike a chord with younger viewers.
Give it a whirl, and thanks for tuning in!
