The Deja Review

• War of the Worlds: Aliens, Explosions, and the Absurdity of It All

  Welcome to The Deja Review, the podcast where we’ll take you on an intergalactic journey through two wildly different versions of “War of the Worlds”. One is the classic 1953 sci-fi spectacle where aliens invade Earth in slow-moving ships, and the other is the 2005 remake, where aliens invade Earth in fancy CGI tripods while Tom Cruise runs around trying to get rid of his kids, whilst in a constant state of panic like he just discovered someone stole his coffee.In this episode, we’ll explore the sci-fi classic, where Martians land in a fairly innocent way, and the remake, where they land with only slightly more laser beams, chaos, and screaming than a Rammstein concert. Get ready for the most absurd, space-age showdown as we dissect the strangely compelling and wildly inconsistent alien invasions that have shaped two very different visions of humanity's impending doom.Spoiler alert: both involve a lot of people running away from explosions and aliens who clearly didn’t take a citizenship test before invading Earth.Buckle up, folks. It's going to be a bumpy ride.Two long time friends, one podcast.This is The Deja Review.Enjoy the episode and remember to like, follow and tell your friends.As always a massive thank you to Little Foil Fish for our theme tune - Little_Foil_FishMart & TrevInstagram - @thedejareview

• Robocop vs. Robo-Reboot

  Welcome to Robocop vs. Robo-Reboot, the podcast where we pit the original 1987 cyberpunk classic against the 2014 CGI-infused remake in a battle for sci-fi supremacy—and yes, we’ll be judging these films based on everything from their robotic crime-fighting abilities to how ridiculous they both are. One movie features a murderous Detroit, a robot cop with a conscience, and the kind of violence that makes you question your life choices. The other? Well, it’s the 2014 remake, which somehow made Robocop look more like an iPhone with a moustache and a sombrero than a human-turned-cyborg.Get ready for a metallic clash of 80s nostalgia and hyper-modern reboots—and a lot of awkward commentary about how we still want our cyborg cops to have more humanity and fewer Bluetooth connections. Grab your Auto-9s and your lawsuit forms (because Robocop definitely didn’t read the fine print), we’re diving in!Two long time friends, one podcast.This is The Deja Review.Enjoy the episode and remember to like, follow and tell your friends.As always a massive thank you to Little Foil Fish for our theme tune - Little_Foil_FishMart & TrevInstagram - @thedejareview

• Shell Shocked: The TMNT Movie Showdown

  The podcast where we’re diving deep into the radical world of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – from the 1990 classic that made pizza a lifestyle, to the 2014 CGI-fuelled reboot that... well, let’s just say the turtles have arms that defy physics.Join us as we toss back a slice of pizza (preferably one that’s got a huge amount of pepperoni on it, sorry Trev) and debate which version of Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo truly owns the sewer.Spoiler alert: It’s definitely not the one where they fight the Shredder with a giant metal fist… right?Two long time friends, one podcast.This is The Deja Review.Enjoy the episode and remember to like, follow and tell your friends.As always a massive thank you to Little Foil Fish for our theme tune - Little_Foil_FishMart & TrevInstagram - @thedejareview

• Fourteen Outlaws, Two Movies, Too Many Horses

  Welcome to Fourteen Outlaws, Two Movies, Too Many Horses, the podcast where two films, 56 horses, and at least one dramatic standoff are compared in the most ridiculous way possible. In this episode, your lovable hosts attempt to unravel the mystery of why seven outlaws are always willing to risk it all for the little guy – and how they manage to look so dang good while doing it.In this showdown of cinematic classics, we take a hard look at both the original Magnificent Seven (1960) and the 2016 remake – because why settle for one group of rugged cowboys when you can have two?Two long time friends, one podcast.This is The Deja Review.Enjoy the episode and remember to like, follow and tell your friends.As always a massive thank you to Little Foil Fish for our theme tune - Little_Foil_FishMart & TrevInstagram - @thedejareview

• Golden Ticket Showdown: Willy Wonka vs. Johnny Depp

  Welcome to Golden Ticket Showdown, the podcast where we put two candy-coated films head-to-head in a battle for supremacy: the 1971 classic Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory vs. Tim Burton’s 2005 reboot Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. One is a whimsical musical with Oompa-Loompas who have questionable fashion choices. The other is… well, a fever dream starring Johnny Depp in possibly the most unsettling Willy Wonka performance ever recorded.Each episode, we’ll dive into the colorful, candy-filled worlds of chocolate rivers, golden tickets, and enough questionable parenting decisions to make you question your childhood. Who's the better Wonka? Who’s the real Charlie? And, most importantly—who let the Oompa-Loompas have a solo album?Two long time friends, one podcast.This is The Deja Review.Enjoy the episode and remember to like, follow and tell your friends.As always a massive thank you to Little Foil Fish for our theme tune - Little_Foil_FishMart & TrevInstagram - @thedejareview
