    Roadhouse (2024)

    For their 151st episode, two muy thai film critics, two buns-baring dads, and two bouncer teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, have set the table to talk about Doug Liman's 2024 remake of "Road House," starring Jake Gyllenhaal. While comparisons are there to be made between this one and Patrick Swayze's from 1989, we've got two guys who know how to compartmentalize their film history. They know full well no remake erases an original. The fun part is we now get multiplied fun. Come for the shared challenge and stay for the mutual love and respect for the fun movies encapsulate.

These guys are great!

I’m always down for a good time and CHF certainly delivers. I’m always ready for the next episode!

KCHNC ,

Smart and thoughtful

You all offer great analysis, and I appreciate the long(er) episodes—I’m curious if you’d discuss Barbarian for a Halloween show.

mcrowls ,

Two average guys, a not so average show

Don and Will argue about films with the amount of grace and intelligence you won’t find on ESPN.
