Today’s topics include both successful and objectively unsuccessful remakes as well as upcoming remakes in the making. Why do we think studios love remaking original stories and why don’t they let some of them be good on its own? Is it a cash-grab, is it nostalgia bait? Is Hollywood becoming unoriginal in the process by relying on things they know made them money and success before? In some cases, is it just easier because source material is so old? We delve deep into why we think remakes can work and where they fail.

A fun conversation about Assassin’s Creed, Uncharted, TLOU, Stephen King, Wicked and Moulin Rouge (Nicole Kidman, you keep showing up!).
