504: Punching Up At Road House

Doug Liman has taken Rowdy Herrington's glorious 1989 feature Road House and remade it for Prime Video with Jake Gyllenhaal as a Dalton for the 21st century; Taylor S. Cole joins us to discuss whether it's a hard slap in the face to our memories of the original. Around The Dial takes us through Girls5eva, Lost, Homicide: New York, and Chicken Nugget. Taylor makes the case for inducting Andor's "One Way Out" into the Canon; then, after naming the week's Winner and Loser, we close up with a game about who's at whose throat. No throats are ripped out in the course of this episode, so feel free to listen!
