Get out the popcorn! This week the GenX Stories gang shares how we really feel about the “new takes” of tv shows and movies we grew up on. Between Ghostbusters, A Star is Born, The Facts of Life and others you didn’t even know are remakes (or reboots?), can they ever be as good as the originals? And why is it happening so much now? Trust us - just listen and do NOT cross the streams.
