Ep.119 Remaking Strange Days (1995)

It's New Years Eve 1999. People's memories and experiences are being bought, sold, and traded as a commodity, almost like a a euphoric drug. A terrible murder has taken place that can rock the world, and its terrible secrets are in play. Bodies are mounting to keep this secret buried and Lenny Nero is at the center of it.

Welcome to the first Invasion of the Remake of 2018! Happy New Year! To celebrate the New Year we look at Kathryn Bigelow's Strange Days (1995) which takes place on the eve of the new millennium where there is social unrest and uncertainty in the future. It was a bomb at the box office but a hidden gem that must be shared and discussed. It starred Ralph Fiennes, Angela Bassett, Juliette Lewis, Tom Sizemore, Michael Wincott, Vincent D'Onofrio, and William Fichtner. Join us as we discuss this underappreciated neo-noir sci-fi classic and rethink it with a new cast and new ideas. Want to know what a remake might look like? This is the show for you!
