FILM CLUB VOL 6 - At Film Club? We all Fam. 

 The latest drop? It’s live right now. Three tees. Three films. And if you’re new here, hello! Welcome to Film Club, where we bring you exclusive drops and dive into film reviews with a very particular, very unfiltered style. 

 

 

Now, these are limited edition tees. Each design is a one-off drop, and when they’re gone, they’re gone. But like here's the thing, we don’t just drop tees, we drop culture. Each of these films means something. Alien defined a genre. Attack the Block is a street-level sci-fi that gets it right. Oldboy (2013)? It’s a film you’ll be arguing about long after the credits roll. These films stick with you, and that’s why they made it to this drop.

This is Film Club, and this is how we show love to the films that shaped what we wear and how we think. Now, on to our thoroughly professional, slightly nuanced film review! 

 

 

BEST WORST FILM REVIEW: OLD BOY (2013)

 

 

This year we're reviewing Spike Lee’s Oldboy (2013) and personally I think this is a textbook example of a “best worst” film—one that ambitiously attempts to remake a classic but fails to capture its essence. Unlike Park Chan-wook’s original, which is a gritty, twisted masterpiece of psychological depth, the remake is a hollow echo, flashy but missing the soul that made Oldboy (2003) unforgettable.


Josh Brolin is the film’s strongest asset. His commitment to playing Joe Doucett is intense, and he does his best to carry the film’s darker moments with physicality and grit. Lee’s version of the famous hallway fight is brutal and satisfying enough, but it’s ultimately an inferior, less innovative version of the original’s iconic one-take scene.

The remake leans into violence and shock without the careful build-up and philosophical undertones of the original. Instead of peeling back the layers of revenge, trauma, and guilt, Lee’s Oldboy hits you over the head with a bland, almost mechanical retelling of the plot. The shocking twist that defined the 2003 version feels gratuitous here, more like a box to tick off than a devastating revelation.

In short, Oldboy (2013) isn’t just a poor remake—it’s a reminder of why some cult classics are just best left alone.
