Listen "245: Make/Remake The Day The Earth Stood Still"
Episode Synopsis
Make/Remake examines how two films that share the same story. Not to say what film was better or worse, but how they are similar and different while following the same arcs. This time we are looking at the 1951 film The Day The Earth Stood Still directed by Robert Wise and the 2008 remake also called The Day The Earth Stood Still directed by Scott Derickson. Check out our past Make/Remake's for more great comparison episodes and see the Letterboxd list.
