episode 279: Pain Don't Hurt (Three Road House Films + A Bonus Road Home)
THIS WEEK: Road House (1989), Road House 2: Last Call (2006), Road House (2024), Road House (1948)
How do you follow up the Rowdy Herrington helmed, Patrick Swayze starring, down-and-dirty shit-kicker fest that is the original Road House? You don't. You just don't touch it. And if you do touch it, don't cast Jake Busey like you're making an extended episode of Shasta McNasty. While you're at it, don't try to remake it 35 years later and hire Conor McGregor either.
