June 17, 2013Remaker’s Mark Special Episode 3: Casting is Everything
It’s been said that good casting is 90% of directing, and we here at Remaker’s Mark couldn’t agree more. In this, our third Special Episode, we focus on our favorite casting choices of all time. Those roles that we couldn’t possibly imagine being played by anyone else. This also happens to be the first Remaker’s Mark episode with special guests in addition to the usual hosts, namely Joshua Freeman, Kate O’Reilly, and Pete Basgen. They brought both great choices and tremendous energy to the episode, which I hope is the first of many of this sort. Enjoy!

June 03, 2013Remakers Mark 8, Part 2 {My Fair Lady}: Redeeming Henry Higgins
In Part 2 of our discussion of My Fair Lady we reveal who we chose to recast the major and minor roles. Kyle discusses his love/hate (mostly hate) relationship with musicals, and we ponder whether the remake should also be a musical. History buff Mark considers alternate times and places for a remake, finding parallels and opportunities in Sparta, Colonial India, and in the time of the Vikings. Finally, we again contemplate Henry Higgins’ misogyny, and the troubles we had with the ending of the movie (managing to compare it to that of The Sopranos, of all things).

May 20, 2013Remaker’s Mark Special Episode 2: U Can’t Touch This
You might think that, given the nature of Remaker’s Mark, we’re game for remaking any and every movie out there. But you’d be wrong! In fact, there are some movies that we consider ‘Untouchables’. Not the actual movie Untouchables, but rather, movies that we would never ever want to see remade. This podcast is a discussion of a few of these movies, and why we consider them untouchable.
