In yet another sci-fi episode (seriously, two in a row?!), Stuart and Jacob unearth the extraterrestrial saga of "War of the Worlds," comparing the iconic 1953 adaptation with Steven Spielberg's intense 2005 reimagining. They dissect the cinematic evolution of H.G. Wells' classic tale of invasion, survival, and the unexpected saviors of humankind. How does the technicolor vision of the '50s hold up against the gritty realism of the modern take? And what can we learn from the portrayal of humanity's resilience in the face of otherworldly conquerors?
Also in this episode are bits about Stephen Spielberg's "Jaws", dissecting when a climax fails to feed into a story's ending, an odd appreciation for "War Horse", and an exercise in the weaknesses of antagonists. All this and more on They Remade It!
