Listen "To Make or Not to Remake"
Episode Synopsis
So we’re in the middle of the “Must Read” challenge and Rex has completed 50% of the recommended texts and Kasie has completed 0%. How should we punish her for not doing her homework?But really, why we’re here this week is to celebrate the new version of Road House being advertised. Haven’t seen the trailer? Here it is.So, should old(er) movies be “rebooted” or remade into modern versions? Today we’ll take on the debate.Assigned talking points:Rex – the classics: what old movies have been re-made that are better in their original form? (mostly Kasie and Hollie will listen and nod because we won’t have seen most of these)Hollie – the animated/live action travesty – why does every story need at least two versions?Kasie – why is it okay to try to re-vise (re-vision) the same story - Shakespearean upgrades, etc.Feels like we won’t need much more than these prompts, but if you’re interested in links to th relevant arguments, we’ll add those after the show. on the blog
