  • Episode 111: The Invisible Man (1933) and (2020)
    Oct 31 2024

    In this horrific episode, Stuart and Jacob dive once more into the world of horror by comparing the 1933 classic "The Invisible Man" with its 2020 take. They explore the transition from the original's mad scientist narrative to the contemporary take on themes of gaslighting, manipulation, and abuse. How do these films reflect the changing nature of horror and societal fears? And what does it mean to be invisible in different eras?


    Also in this one are Elisabeth Moss, moderate disdain for "Smile 2", a discussion on the differences between the representations of science and it's repercussions, as well as some fun planning of future Universal Horror movies! All this and more on They Remade It!

  • Episode 110: Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island (1998) and Scooby-Doo! Return to Zombie Island (2019)
    Oct 28 2024

    In this belated "They Re-Slayed It" episode (blame audio issues!), Stuart and Jacob tackle the world of Scooby Doo by comparing the 1998 animated film "Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island" with its 2019 sequel. They analyze the transition from the original's down-to-earth take on real supernatural elements in a Scooby-Doo story to the sequel's attempt at a postmodern, self-referential narrative. Does the sequel honor the legacy of its predecessor, or does it get lost in its own mystery? I think you probably know already!


    Also in this episode are Stuart's in depth review of "Frostpunk 2", a deliberation on the evolution of Scooby-Doo gang actors, a wild derail into plot-holes and inconsistencies, and the boys plan their own Scooby-Doo crossover movies. All this and more on They Remade It!

  • Episode 109: The Producers (1967) and (2005)
    Sep 27 2024

    In this gut-busting episode (we hope), Stuart and Jacob delve into the world of Broadway and film by comparing the original 1967 Mel Brooks classic "The Producers" with its 2005 musical adaptation. They explore the transition from a satirical comedy about a scheme to produce a Broadway flop into a full-fledged musical. How does the humor and satire of the original hold up against the more modern, song-filled remake? And what do these films say about our evolving approach to comedy and musicals? Anything? Anything at all?


    Also in this episode are discussions about the pronunciation of Zero Mostel's name, a dive into the deep-end with "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice", the question of when does satire stop being funny and start being hateful, and Stuart and Jacob creating their own musicals starring controversial figures. All this and more on They Remade It!
