281: The Avengers [1998]

281 The Avengers

The 90’s was having a decent run of movie remakes of 60’s TV shows, with such fare as The Fugitive, Mission Impossible and Maverick achieving success. And then came 1998 with its remakes of Lost in Space and the subject of out podcast this week The Avengers. Based on the eccentric British spy show, the movie is suitably weird and wacky, but perhaps not in the way that Spoiler Filled Crew can get behind. Colourful teddy bear conferences, polite sword fighting, murderous clones, giant wasp robots, villainous Eddie Izzard and the weather being the true nightmare of the British people are all up for discussion this week.
