Stuart and Jacob compare and contrast remakes, re-imaginings, and long overdue sequels to their original source material
It's been a minute since Stuart and Jacob talked about a Schwarzenegger #movie on the #podcast, so what better time than the kickoff to season 9 of "They Remade It" than to jump right back into that pool! New episode coming Wednesday!

Future #Podcast Idea: "Bambi II"

The current record holder for longest gap between original film and sequel, "Bambi II" was released direct-to-video 64 years after the original film. Would make for quite the discussion on the show!

Release: 2006

Future #Podcast Idea: "Bambi"

Disney's original feature from the 40's was one of many to receive direct-to-video sequel fare, and thus Stuart and Jacob could have a ball discussing this animation classic in the future!

Director: David D. Hand
Release: 1942

#Podcast Reading Material: The Godfather, by Mario Puzo (1969)

Two classic films (and another one) that only got to be due to the original novel by Mario Puzo, give it a read and see what you think of it!

Future #Podcast Idea: "Million Dollar Mystery"

A wacky comedy that had a real life contest to find a million dollars sponsored by Glad-Lock? It happened, and there's more than enough there to discuss on a "They Remade It Again" episode!

Director: Richard Fleischer
Release: 1987

Future #Podcast Idea: "Scavenger Hunt"

It has been lightly discussed on the show before, but if Stuart and Jacob want to tackle more movies similar to "Mad, Mad, Mad World", look no further than this wacky romp!

Director: Michael Schultz
Release: 1979

#Podcast Reading Material: Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, by Mary Shelley (1818)

We've had many an adaptation of "Frankenstein" (one high profile one last year, in fact!), but many tinker with the source material quite a bit. Best read it yourself to get the full story!

Future #Podcast Idea: "Creepshow 3"

The last vestige of the "Creepshow" franchise (until the show that is) came the third entry, a film that was in production for years since 1992. Stuart and Jacob should cover all these!

Directors: Ana Clavell and James Dudelson
Release: 2007

Future #Podcast Idea: "Creepshow 2"

Only a few years after the first came "Creepshow 2", another anthology this time directed by Michael Gornick, though with a screenplay by George A. Romero. But the film series didn't end there!

Director: Michael Gornick
Release: 1987

Future #Podcast Idea: "Creepshow"

A classic in the horror anthology genre, "Creepshow" had a bevy of talent behind it's numerous segments and made way for a number of other features to follow in it's footsteps!

Director: George A. Romero
Release: 1982

Future #Podcast Idea: "Deep Blue Sea 3"

When a sequel almost two decades after the first wasn't enough, a third was also shipped directly to store shelves everywhere. Stuart and Jacob would surely have a ball discussing all three of these!

Director: John Pogue
Release: 2020

Future #Podcast Idea: "Deep Blue Sea 2"

It only tracks that in the burgeoning age of direct-to-DVD legasequels that "Deep Blue Sea" would get that same treatment. But it somehow didn't even stop there! Future "They Remade It" episode?

Director: Darin Scott
Release: 2018

Future #Podcast Idea: "Deep Blue Sea"

A bad movie for some, a guilty pleasure for others, "Deep Blue Sea" was a turn-of-the-century take on the killer shark movie, and would be interesting for a future retrospection on "They Remade It"!

Director: Renny Harlin
Release: 1999

#Podcast Reading Material: Farewell to the Master, by Harry Bates (1940)

While "The Day the Earth Stood Still" was only *loosely* adapted from this novelette, it's still worth noting and certainly worthy of a read!

Future #Podcast Idea: "How to Train Your Dragon"

While neither Stuart nor Jacob have actually seen the movie yet, it would be nice to tackle a live-action remake on the program that isn't explicitly Disney. So maybe an upcoming episode?

Director: Dean DeBlois
Release: 2025

What We've Been Watching: "The Curse of the Clown Motel"

Jacob had plenty to say about this one in last year's "Annie" episode of the show, a murderous clown ghost story involving indigenous stolen land... what?

Director: Asif Akbar and Lance Kawas

#Podcast Reading Material: Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, by Robert Louis Stevenson (1886)

If ever a story had a long tail in the zeitgeist, the concept of Jekyll and Hyde is certainly one. Even "The Nutty Professor", as discussed on the podcast previously!

Future #Podcast Idea: "How to Train Your Dragon"

A modern animated classic from DreamWorks recently got the live-action remake treatment last year, so this could end up being a great topic for Stuart and Jacob on the show!

Director: Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders

Stuart and Jacob have both been playing this recently in between podcast records! Stuart's interest has waned, while Jacob has loved it just as he did the first. Good chill-out game?
