In this week's episode, it's a matchup of original vs. remake as Mike and Steven discuss The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. The original, directed by Joseph Sargent, is from 1974, and Tony Scott's remake is from 2009. Both are set in the New York underground, and both tell the same story, but in very different ways.
