  Episode #11

  Episode 146: The Manchurian Candidate (1962) and (2004)

  Sep 23, 20261h 25mS9

  In this episode of They Remade It, dramatic thrillers are back on the docket as the original "Manchurian Candidate" is compared to it's early aughts remake. One takes a slightly satirical look at the Red Scare, while the other is a more serious approach to the War on Terror and corporate influence in politics. Does one happen to handle it's material better than the other? And between Lansbury and Streep, who is more wickedly vile in their roles here? Also in this episode is a long diatribe on "Coyote vs. Acme", John MaGiver and a carton of milk getting shot, a discussion on music in dream sequences, and we learn Stu and Jacob's activation phrases.

  Episode #10

  Episode 145: Red Sonja (1985) and (2025)

  Sep 2, 20261h 3mS9

  In this episode of They Remade It, it's time to talk swords and sandals once more as the Hyborian Age is revisited by Stuart and Jacob? You've heard of Conan, but how familiar are you with the character of Red Sonja? What of these twin movies 40 years apart, which holds up and displays better sensibilities? And why is Arnold in the 1985 one but NOT just playing Conan? Also in this episode are some unfortunate news about a now-lost podcast episode, far too many references to Robert Altman's "Popeye", CGI versus practical puppets once again, and a deep exploration (kinda) of the modern day Red Sonja comics.

  They Remade It: The Movie Comparison Podcast

  Episode 144: King Kong (1933) and (2005)

  Aug 12, 20261h 18m

  In this episode of They Remade It, Stuart and Jacob dive into horror before October has even arrived to discuss the merits of Hollywood's most famous and enduring monster. One movie with a creature large in size, the other large in scope, but which towers above the other in terms of quality? How do character arcs and motivations add to (or detract from) the pictures' overall quality? And why did there have to be giant bugs? Also in this episode are ruminations on both "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" and "The Odyssey", a discussion of whether Kong is a gorilla or an "ape-esque creature", more complaints about prolonged runtimes, and almost just as much talk about Godzilla as there is talk about Kong himself.

  Episode #7

  Episode 142: The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) and (1999)

  Jul 2, 20261h 14mS9

  In this episode of They Remade It, Stuart and Jacob once more take a look at heists and romance as they compare the two versions of "The Thomas Crown Affair". How does changing something as simple as a bank robbery to an art heist make a world of difference in the intrigue? And what of the connections between McQueen/Dunaway and Brosnan/Russo? Join the two as they dissect character dynamics, pacing, and endings of both films. And what of the Oscar winning song "Windmills of Your Mind" - does it hold up? Also in this episode are bits on "Undertone" and "Disclosure Day", a debate about endings and their relation to theming, heists of dinosaur bones and the Nevada Simpson's house, and a movie Stuart watched but cannot for the LIFE of him remember the name of.

  Episode #6

  Episode 141: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and Snow White (2025)

  Jun 10, 20261h 37mS9

  In this enchanting episode of They Remade It, Stuart and Jacob go all the way back to Disney's first full-length animated feature and compare it against the recent box-office debacle that was 2025's "Snow White". What happens a charming and beautiful fairy tale adaptation receives a 21st-century reimagining with over-politicization? Why the hell did Dopey NEED to speak at all, was it really that important? And while we're on that topic, why is Disney CGI still so atrociously ugly after a decade of these live-action remakes? You know what, I'm getting ahead of myself, just listen for yourselves. Also in this episode are thoughts on the recent "Backrooms" feature, praise for proper costuming, a HUGE tirade against the current state of Disney and other corporations, and Stuart and Jacob's cute little dwarf names.
