In this week's bonus episode, we wade our way through the imminently rote but nonetheless fascinating cinematic spectrum of the remake: what nature do they play in recontextualizing or expanding upon past works and how do they function as art in of themselves? This discussion includes an examination of the modern strategies franchises employ in "updating" or "adapting" "intellectual property" in "fun and exciting" ways (that's a lot of quotes but hey, it feels entirely appropriate, right?). Which ones work and which ones don't? Tune in to find out! We even get around to pitching to one another some ideas we each have for remaking past films so yeah, we're just as creatively bankrupt as the most cynical studio executive, as it turns out.
