The world's most famous diamond. The world's most accident-prone detective. And two very different takes on one of comedy's most iconic franchises.

In this episode of Mart and Trev’s The Deja Review, we follow the trail of the legendary Pink Panther diamond as we compare the classic The Pink Panther, starring Peter Sellers as the unforgettable Inspector Jacques Clouseau, with the modern reboot The Pink Panther, starring Steve Martin.

The 1963 original introduced audiences to the incompetent Inspector Clouseau, whose investigations and slapstick comedy helped create one of cinema's most beloved comedy series. More than forty years later, the 2006 reboot brought Clouseau back with Steve Martin's unique take on the iconic detective, bigger set pieces, modern comedy, and a new mystery to solve.

Mart and Trev break down the mysteries, the famous theme music, and the biggest differences between the two films, asking whether Steve Martin successfully steps into Peter Sellers' oversized shoes or if the original remains untouchable.

Along the way, we also uncover behind-the-scenes stories, surprising casting choices, hidden cameos, and fascinating production trivia that make both versions even more entertaining.

Does the 1963 original still hold up?
Does the 2006 reboot steal the diamond?
Does Trev have a rant?

Does your dog bite? No… but this debate certainly does.

A master assassin. A deadly apprentice. And two generations of contract killers facing off.

In this episode of Mart and Trev’s The Deja Review, we enter the world of professional assassins to compare the gritty action thriller The Mechanic, starring Charles Bronson, with the high-octane reboot The Mechanic, starring Jason Statham.

The 1972 original became a cult favourite thanks to its cold, methodical approach to assassination, its tense mentor-student relationship, and Charles Bronson's understated performance as Arthur Bishop. Nearly forty years later, the 2011 remake reimagined the story with bigger action sequences, explosive set pieces, and a modern action-thriller style while retaining the core story of a hitman training the son of a former friend.

Mart and Trev break down the assassinations, the action scenes, the mentor-apprentice dynamic, and the biggest differences between the two films, asking whether the remake improves the formula or if the original still completes the contract with greater precision.

Does the 1972 classic still execute the perfect hit…
or does the 2011 reboot get the job done?

No witnesses. No mistakes. No second chances.
