Stuart and Jacob dive into the colorful world of "Hairspray," comparing John Waters' 1988 cult classic with the 2007 musical adaptation directed by Adam Shankman. They explore the evolution of Tracy Turnblad's story, from a quirky comedy about integration and body positivity to a high-energy musical extravaganza. How does the original's campy charm…

In this cosmic voyage of an episode, Stuart and Jacob traverse the starry expanse of Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" and its sequel "2010: The Year We Make Contact" directed by Peter Hyams. From the dawn of man to the birth of a new star, they delve into the evolution of a genre-defining classic and its less-celebrated successor. How does…

In this head-to-head episode, Stuart and Jacob tackle the gridiron glory and comedic chaos of "The Longest Yard" – both the 1974 classic and its 2005 remake. With Burt Reynolds leading the '74 team and Adam Sandler at the helm in 2005, our hosts dissect the playbook on what makes a sports movie both entertaining and enduring. Does the original's bl…

In this monumental 100th episode, Stuart and Jacob embark on a journey through one of the most epic sagas in cinematic history: The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies.

Season 6 has finally arrived, and our duo has a lot to discuss. In terms of what they've been doing this past month, but also with a couple animated features to take everyone into the new year. And whaddya know, another one that released in 2023! Seems they're getting more and more current overtime! Or maybe they're running out of movies to talk ab…

2023 has come and gone, and Stuart and Jacob had a "meh" time of it all. There were highs and lows of course, but if they were tier ranking years of recent memory, 2023 would fall square in the middle for the both of them. That doesn't mean they don't have things to talk about though! Throughout the course of this longer than average episode, Stuar…

And you thought They Remade It would get away without covering a Disney movie on this years schedule? That would never happen. And this time, they've brought along a third co-host in Stuart's partner, Hannah. Tis the season to make multiple people suffer through Disney's live-action output! Also in this episode are talks about Sordid Lives, Franz F…

Another holiday episode, and another episode from Stuart and Jacob going over three separate movies, each one tackling three separate individuals as they overcome themselves for the care of a child.

What better way to bridge the gap between Halloween and the ensuing months than a movie about aliens? And who would've guessed it would get a sequel/remake hybrid over 2 decades after the original?! Well, Stuart and Jacob, given everything they've seen. They certainly weren't surprised. Also in this episode are updates on some late Halloween horror…

And rounding out this spooktacular season is yet another of the heavy hitters in the Universal monster canon. While the original manages to sport Claude Rains and Lon Chaney Jr., the remake comes out swinging with folks like Anthony Hopkins and Benicio del Toro. Is either of these truly better than the other? We might even have Stuart and Jacob dis…

It's finally the spooky season once again, and as is tradition Stuart and Jacob will be bringing the horror this October. They've already touched on two Universal monsters in the past, so why not bring in who is arguably the most famous of them all? I mean, a comedy pseudo-sequel just came out earlier this year, so what better time to mirror the Fr…

In keep with the incredibly depressing podcast episodes as of late, the two movies being discussed today touch on nuclear annihilation! Are Stuart and Jacob doing this on purpose? One has to wonder... Also in this episode is a bit of a talk on Starfield, Jacob's thoughts on Eddie Deezen, quotable lines, and a discussion on just why this of all thin…

Well, they've finally done it. Stuart and Jacob have both been bad-mouthing the state of movies and the MCU for all these years, and it's finally come home to roost in the form of Captain America. Will they finally see eye to eye with a Marvel movie? Or will they go on any tangent possible to avoid the inevitable? Also in this episode is rumination…

Stuart and Jacob jump back into musicals, their first take on the genre in a long time (at least one that isn't related to an animated Disney feature). And boy is there plenty to chew on here, because as far as the story goes they're mostly identical, but some of those few differences are important and context redefining. Also in this episode is a …

CW upfront, this episode does feature some discussion of verbal, physical, and sexual assault as these acts are featured in this weeks movies. A bit of a rough one this time around as Stuart and Jacob. There are things to like about both of these, but boy are they dark, and honestly neither of them would blame you for skipping this one. Also in thi…

Stuart and Jacob have gone back to not just the Shakespeare well, but the well of "modern day Shakespeare retellings that feature the source materials dialogue". One takes place in an olde Denmark, while the other sees itself in high rises and corporate structures as a part of a New York setting. Is on better than the other, and can the magic of th…

Stuart inadvertently selected a film this week that Jacob adored as an adolescent. So that's sure to cause some interesting reassessment. And when it comes to the remake, is there anything to offer other than abrupt and nowhere-near subtle product placement? It's time to discuss. Also in this episode are some gushings on Legend of Zelda: Tears of t…

Hot of the heels of the recent release from Illumination, Stuart and Jacob sat down to talk about two video game films. One features a strange development cycle and baffling choices, with the other having seemingly more of a standard production and more middle of the road choices. How will the duo ever navigate their way out of these comparisons?! …

Finally, a return to the podcast that dreams are made of. And it's been quite a while since Stuart and Jacob dove into the noir well, a genre that they are both a little mixed towards on the best of days. But does that impact the analysis and their adoration for one of these films? Tune in and find out! Also in this episode are talks on whether or …

What, and so soon after the previous episode? Yes, in what is a rare occurrence, to make up for their previous lateness on episode delivery Stuart and Jacob assembled to talk about death, a topic that is near and dear to their hearts. But what's this? Death has gone on holiday? To people in the US nowadays even know what that means? And as always, …

After a bit longer of a delay than either would've liked, Stuart and Jacob have returned and their talking apes. Did you know that they have their own planet? And the it's status of being a completely separate entity or Earth in the future is slightly muddled along the way. Just how confusing can the Tim Burton adaptation manage to make things? And…

New year, new movies for Stuart and Jacob to talk about. Speaking of, Jacob felt a little down starting 2022 off with Space Jam, as neither film was all that great. So back to the drawing board as the duo discusses two John Carpenter classics! Does Escape from New York hold up, and is Escape from L.A. as rough as people say? Also in this episode is…

2022 has had it's ups and downs for sure, but Stuart and Jacob are both looking ahead to the new year with promise, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as nana used to say. Of course, there are plenty of releases to look forward to in the new year as well... aren't there? Throughout the course of this longer than average episode, Stuart and Jacob discuss …

Stuart and Jacob are ending off the year by talking about the Grinch, in all of his forms. Literally! They have a habit for going big for the final episode of the year, so why not once again discuss 3 movies (well, 2 movies and an animated special) to round out 2022. How does the mean miser fare across his various adaptations? Time to tune in and f…
