We're in a time in film history where remakes are a dime a dozen. Mark and Quentin run through some good examples and some bad examples of movie remakes before launching into a discussion of how an audience's expectations can shape a viewing experience. Finally, Mark and Quentin discuss and debate the polarizing question, can a film go too far? To put it another way, as critics, is it more important to contemplate and respect a filmmaker's artistic vision or consider the impact of controversial or offensive content on viewers?
