Remakers Mark

I need two raw turkeys, an hour of privacy, and no questions asked. We all have movies that we have seen approximately a gajillion times, and yet are totally happy to watch them again when we don’t know what to watch, or if we happen upon it on TV – this episode is about those […]

I would like to agree with Kyle, in that this movie made me uncomfortable. For our third Hidden Gems film, things are going to get a wee bit sexy, and more than a wee bit uncomfortable, for we are discussing Bernardo Bertolucci’s 2003 homage to film and, ahem, familial love and welcoming, The Dreamers. Sacre […]

I saw Blues Brothers 2000 in the theater…I even own the soundtrack! Man, I was in a dark place. Here in the second part of our discussion of Blues Brothers, we go over our re-casting winners and losers, talk about how in the %$&# worked as well as it did, appreciated the harmony present in […]

You cast Jim Belushi, didn’t you… This episode, we’re on a mission from God – that’s right, we’re doing our best to remake what has been deemed unable to be remade, The Blues Brothers. In this first part, we recast the titular brothers, and then re-write musical cameos featuring artists we know and love today. […]

Here we talk through our thoughts on the original and how we would remake it, including scheming other con options (taken from history as well), an appreciation for the […]

You don’t eat actors of this quality. They’re much too valuable. We’re ringing in the regular-episode-new-year with a discussion of one of our collective favorite movies – Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Here we recast major and minor roles alike, with a couple ‘flip you for real’ moments along the way. Enjoy! Dirty Rotten Scoundrels IMDB Theatrical […]

We’re back! Again! For real! Pardon the extended sabbatical, but we’re blasting into 2018 (where we will be publishing much more consistently) with an episode about death. Doh. For real though, as we’ve done in the past years, we’re saddened but excited to talk about those we lost in 2017, and what they meant to […]

Why, I do de-clare,  what have we here? Eight months and change after the first half was published (yeesh, sorry about that…) we’re happy to bring you part two of our discussion of ‘Gone With the Wind’. Really, we just wanted to provide a real life example of just how long and epic this movie feels…or […]

For our second Hidden Gems episode, we dive into the French all-genres-all-the-time kung fu detective-y monster movie, Brotherhood of the Wolf (‘Le pacte des loups’, if you’re nasty). This is a whole lot of movie, but dang if we didn’t really enjoy it, both because of, and in spite of that fact. Enjoy! Mentioned this episode: Snowpiercer […]

This is our annual celebration of the celebrities we lost in the previous year (being 2016).

David Bowie The Man Who Fell to Earth Labyrinth Zoolander Twin […]

With Remakers Mark-ers both traveling Europe and trying to survive the incredibly busy time that comes with the end of a school year and Spring-to-Summer transition, we thought it would be fun to take a pause and re-broadcast our very first Special Episode, recorded shortly after Disney purchased Lucasfilm, where we share our hopes and wishes for what […]
