We’re back for the start of Ideal Remake Season 5! And this episode we’re remaking The Mask!

Guest Adam Sheehan (@PeteZapitsa) is here to tell us the REAL story. The story that Hollywood didn’t WANT you to know. About a little man called Big Head.

We’re taking The Mask back to its comic roots and remaking this movie much more closely tied to the… incredibly violent comic it was originally adapted from!

Welp, 2021 being what it was, the last episode I intended on recording was never able to happen! But that’s okay! I had an amazing season 4 and I’m extremely proud of all the fantastic remakes I was able to bring you all this year! This was an incredible year for Ideal Remake. We joined the Dueling Genre network, recorded with many new and fantastic guests, and hit over 100 episodes!!

Thank you to everyone has been listening and thank you to all my amazing guests!

See everyone in a few months for Season 5!

No one asked for it…. SO HERE IT IS!!

Alex Caine (@FoodandHippos on IG) returns to Ideal Remake. He and I usually remake a video game movie, and for his fourth episode we’re already starting to run low! So ANGRY BIRDS IT IS!!

You might be thinking, but isn’t this a time for holiday movies? And yes. Yes it is. And this movie set on an island is super tropical and summery. Just like it is in the SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE. So next time maybe think about THEM when you’re being all judgy about the holidays! YEESH!

Honestly this episode is super fun and you definitely do not need to have seen the movie to enjoy it!

Do we…. do we dare step into such hallowed ground? Do we dare try to remake the cinematic masterpiece that is Steven Spielberg’s ET the Extra-Terrestrial??

Well… it’s guest Yannis Zafeiriou’s favorite movie and he said that if it MUST be remade, then he shall fall on that sword! So Yannis (@Penguinyz on IG) and Josh Allen Goldman (@JoshAllenGoldman on IG) are here to see if we can take these Reece’s Pieces and make a Reece’s Whole!

And also we’re gonna remake ET because WHY NOT!

We’ve discussed Landworld, Airworld, and the highly controversial Plasmaworld, so the time has come at last to discuss WATERWORLD!!

Did I know in advance that we’d be remaking two dystopian movies this month? Nope! But they’re in the process of creating a Waterworld TV show, so the time for this discussion has come!

Luckily I don’t have to step into this terrifying world alone! Mad Max Minutes’ AMAZING hosts Julia and Rick Ingham (@MadMaxMinute) help me navigate this post-apocalyptic hellscape crafted out of the modern world’s trash. There’s a metaphor in their for this movie, but I don’t know what it is!

ALSO! Note that we viewed the Ulysses cut AND discussed the original 1991 screenplay!

The year is 2021. A horrible disease sweeps across the world. Huge chunks of the population have completely lost faith in society and the government. Massive corporations hire private armies to do whatever they want and hold the health of the general public ransom. And religion is weaponized for the use of the powerful against the weak. 

And that’s basically the plot for 1995’s Keanu Reeves movie… JOHNNY MNEMONIC!! And to help me remake this horrible harbinger of what was to come is returning guest Kevin Mosteller (@KMostellerMusic)!

This movie is actually a lot of fun if you don’t think about how screwed we all are! Yaaaay!!

Freddy Krueger strikes again! For the… 33rd time? And also possibly the 34th time if you’ve listened to the episode and are now reading the show notes!

It’s another Halloween Ideal Remake special! That means Scott Carelli (@ScottCarelli) is the true host this time and he’s brought on his writing partner and friend Nick Jimenez (@nickmjimenez)!

They two amazing writers put together some fantastic pitches for a way to remake and reboot the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise! In fact, they had SUCH good pitches that we’re going to have a hard time going with just one!

It’s spooky month here at Ideal Remake and your host, Sam Gasch (@SamGasch) is not all that great at spooky/horror movies. Luckily he has help from guest host Scott Carelli (@ScottCarelli)! And Scott knew that the right person to bring in a movie that neither he or Sam had EVER heard of was Pat Driscoll (@patdsez)!

And that’s why, today, for episode 101, we’re talking about the movie DEMONS!!

Demons is a gore-centric, Italian, spaghetti horror movie! Did Sam know what that meant going in? Absolutely not! But Pat and Scott are here to clear it all up and remake this movie is the brilliant splash of carnage that it deserves!

This is episode 100 of Ideal Remake! We did it!! WOOOO!!!

Thank you all for taking the time to listen to all the fun movies I’ve made with MANY fantastic guests over the years! It’s been an absolute treat getting to make this podcast and I hope to continue making it for a long time to come!

For this auspicious occasion I brought on three amazing returning guests! Dianne Bloom (@dibster), Meme Darling (SeeItOnTuesday on IG), and Chris Lord (@lordopher). The Terminator is a movie that is that rare movie that has been all three of the Ideal Remake specifications. It has been, will be, AND should be remade!

And remaking it was an absolute blast! I hope you all enjoy!
