In this episode we celebrate Halloween with... Halloween! John Carpenter's genre defining film faces off against Rob Zombie's remake, and we accuse one of these filmmakers of being the quarterback on the couch. We'll let you guess which one. To find out for sure, listen to our discussion with our horror expert guest Derek Stewart.

We are joined by  Jamison  of  Real Films Podcast  to compare the movies MAN ON WIRE and THE WALK about Philippe Petit, who planned a coup to walk on a tightrope between the World Trade Center in 1974.

With the kickoff of American football, we are in the mood for a double feature of THE LONGEST YARD. In the 1974 version, Burt Reynolds has us scratching our hairy chests in admiration, while Adam Sandler has us scratching our (egg shaped) heads at the jokes presented on screen. Find out which film we chose, the original or the remake, and also which centerfold graces Mike's wall.

On this episode, we are joined by CHRIS MAYNARD of FOLLOWING FILMS POD to talk about the Swedish and American adaptation of the first book from the Millennium trilogy, THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO.

On this episode of Original Remake: two podcasters who do not know that much about film tackle one of the masters of the form TWICE as we talk THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH, Alfred Hitchcock's 1934 original and his own 1956 remake.

On this episode Karly from That Pop This Life joins us to talk about the dream life of Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky, which is the remake of Abre Los Ojos. Listen to our latest to find out which life extension journey you should take, the original or the remake.

On this episode we give our hearts to Charles Grodin and Ben Stiller in two versions of THE HEARTBREAK KID. Which will sweep us off our feet and which will break our heart? Guest WEB BIST from the podcast IT'S TERRIFIC joins us to help choose an appropriate movie marriage match.

Charles Grodin month kicks off with a remake of 1957's THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN! Except the 1981 version switches genders, starring not Mr. Grodin, but Lily Tomlin as THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING WOMAN. Unfortunately the look at shrinking masculinity and the shrinking appreciation of a woman in her family's life is not visible in one film. Listen to see which we chose: the original or the remake.

On this episode we welcome old Oldboy, new Oldboy, and Karly from the podcasts That Pop This Life and Talking Shondaland to talk about vengeance, eating octopus, and Josh Brolin's lack of body hair.

Like the characters in THE HAUNTING, both from 1963 and 1999, we decided to stay in another haunted house after our prior POLTERGEIST episode. And unfortunately we don't have a mutual love of Sam Rockwell to save us from the evil spirits, instead discussing the haunted year of 1999 for Liam Neeson's career, the scary aging process of CGI effects, and also where you can find us haunting other podcasts.

On this episode the new theatrical release of POLTERGEIST has us diving into research on the difference between a haunting and a poltergeist and the differences between the 1982 original film and the 2015 remake. Can our love of Sam Rockwell sway us to go with the updated version or will the shuffle board playing original keep us in the good graces of cinephiles? Check out our latest episode to find our the origin of Remake Boy!

For the remake of POLTERGEIST we look at two other cursed properties in cinema that were eventually remade way back in 1999. Along the way we answer the very important question of whether or not Catherine Zeta Jones "owned it" in THE HAUNTING and explain what happens when two people really love each other in the HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL.
