Romantic Friendship returns for season 3!  Today: remakes. We investigate the idea of remakes -- as a literal remaking of a classic text, and as the redevelopment of a historic space. We speak with the director of the film ZIPPER, Amy Nicholson, about changes in Coney Island, and to media scholar Alfred Martin about the Lifetime remake of the film Steel Magnolias. Plus, some of our current favorite cover songs and their originals.
