Episode 41: Road House vs Road House

Is ROAD HOUSE truly ROAD HOUSE without Patrick Swayze? This question looms over the Brothers roundtable discussion of Doug Liman’s ROAD HOUSE, starring Jake Gyllenhaal. They discuss the film’s action filmmaking, storytelling, setting, and approach as a remake before comparing it to Rowdy Herrington’s original film starring Patrick Swayze. In particular, they outline some of the many reasons why the original film is not a guilty pleasure, but rather one of the best action films of the 1980s.
