On today’s episode, hosts John Aljets and Maggie Lovitt are discussing reports that a second remake for The Longest Yard is in development with Paramount Pictures. They’ll also be talking about Marvel’s R-rated projects and if the Doctor Who 2023 Christmas Special will be introducing the Fifteenth Doctor’s companion.

According to Deadline, Robert Aldritch’s 1974 sports comedy, The Longest Yard, is once again up for the remake treatment. The original starred Burt Reynolds as washed-up quarterback, Paul “Wrecking” Crewe, who was sentenced to prison after a police chase. His reputation precedes him behind bars, where he pieces together a misfit football team to play for the warden’s team.
Next up, our hosts talk about a less iffy remake and the recent news that Marvel’s Blade will be rated R. Reported by Deadline in an interview with the remake’s director, Yann Demange, the filmmaker confirmed that the Mahershala Ali-led film will bring back the vampire hero in a “ruthless” way, saying the rating is “so important.” This after news that Marvel plans to lower Blade’s budget to less than $100 million.
