#Podcast Reading Material: The War of the Worlds, by H. G. Wells (1895 - 1897) Released in a serialized manner in "Pearson's Magazine" and eventually compiled in 1898, this is for sure required reading for anyone interested in the science fiction genre! #booksky #filmsky

Future #Podcast Idea: "Get Carter" A British spy film based on a British novel from 1970 with Michael Caine! This might've been replaced in the public memory by the 2000 remake, but perhaps it's time this one came back around. Director: Mike Hodges Release: 1971 #moviesky #filmsky

What We've Been Watching: "Widow's Bay" Stuart is making sure to keep up with Apple's appointment television, specifically the recent release "Widow's Bay". Created by a longtime writer of "Parks and Recreation"! Creator: Katie Dippold Release: 2026 - #tvsky #podcast

Physical Friday: "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" With the untimely passing of the great Dolly Parton recently, Jacob only felt it fitting to share a grab from only a few weeks ago featuring one of her best performances in film! Director: Colin Higgins Release: 1982 #physicalfriday #filmsky

You probably missed it, but last year there was a new #movie that release, ANOTHER adaptation of the Red Sonja character! Join Stuart and Jacob in tomorrow's #podcast for a deep dive into this film and it's 1980's counterpart!

Been a while since Stuart and Jacob ventured into the world of swords and sandals #movies. So Conan-adjacent character Red Sonja was the perfect chance to get right back in there. Catch the new "They Remade It" #podcast episode on Wednesday to hear all about it!

#Podcast Reading Material: 2010: Odyssey Two, by Arthur C. Clarke (1982) There were a few other novels in the series, but given Stuart and Jacob covered the "2010" adaptation on the show, it only tracks that this would also be necessary reading for the podcast! #booksky #filmsky

Future #Podcast Idea: "Poltergeist" In 2015, we were given a Kenan directed and Sam Raimi produced "Poltergeist" remake that sat in development hell for a period. Could it be discussed in an upcoming Halloween #podcast season? Who knows! Director: Gil Kenan Release: 2015 #moviesky #filmsky

Physical Friday: "The Simpsons: Season One (1989 - )" If it hasn't been made clear over 100+ episodes of the #podcast, Jacob loves "The Simpsons". So here's the first season box set right out of his collection! #physicalfriday #filmsky

What We've Been Watching: "Disclosure Day" Jacob saw Spielberg's newest, and he thought it was... fine. The man knows how to craft a scene, but the movie itself is kinda all over the place with odd character motivations. Director: Steven Spielberg Release: 2026 #moviesky #filmsky #podcast

#Podcast Reading Material: 2001: A Space Odyssey, by Arthur C. Clarke (1968) In a case that is pretty interesting, this novel was written concurrently with it's film adaptation by both Clarke and director Stanley Kubrick. Though eventually, only Clarke would be listed as author. #booksky #filmsky

Future #Podcast Idea: "Poltergeist" A beloved horror feature, directed by the man behind "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre", this is up for potential Halloween #podcast coverage due to it's 2015 remake! Director: Tobe Hooper Release: 1982 #moviesky #filmsky

What We've Been Watching: "Undertone" Stuart caught this feature from last year pretty recently, and while he felt there were cool elements, the premise of the "audio horror" aspect lost its appeal after a short while. Director: Ian Tuason Release: 2025 #moviesky #filmsky #podcast

#Podcast Reading Material: Encounter in the Dawn, by Arthur C. Clarke (1953) Though not fully the original source material for the film, this Clarke short story heavily influenced what would later become his work for "2001: A Space Odyssey". #booksky #filmsky

Future #Podcast Idea: "Father of the Bride, Part II" Steve Martin returned for this sequel/remake hybrid of the 1951 “Father’s Little Dividend”, which leads us to an interesting network of films that could be discussed in a future #podcast! Director: Charles Shyer Release: 1995 #moviesky #filmsky

Physical Friday: "Smiling Friends: Season One (2020 - 2026)" The moment Adult Swim’s Smiling Friends got a season 1 physical release a few years back, Jacob knew he had to grab it as a fan of the absurdist comedy. Now, if only the remaining two could make it to home media! #physicalfriday #filmsky

What We've Been Watching: "Toy Story 5" Stuart and Jacob both watched the most recent in the “Toy Story” franchise, and both enjoyed it for different reasons. Certainly a step up from the 4th, if endless sequels are coming anyway! Director: Andrew Stanton Release: 2026 #moviesky #filmsky #podcast

#Podcast Reading Material: The Hobbit, by J. R. R. Tolkien (1937) Tolkien’s first full fictional work (not counting poetry) was a well-regarded children’s novel that would be adapted many times over. Stuart and Jacob made sure to visit Jackson’s trilogy in their 100th episode! #booksky #filmsky

Future #Podcast Idea: "Father's Little Dividend" Wait, we’re still talking about this?! Yes, in a rather unique circumstance, the sequel #movie focusing on the birth of a new baby also got remade in the 90’s and can be discussed! Director: Vincente Minnelli Release: 1951 #moviesky #filmsky

What We've Been Watching: "REC" As has been discussed numerous times in the past, Stu is a big fan of found footage features. This surprised him, especially due to its less-than-stellar American remake, “Quarantine”. Director: Jaume Balagueró & Paco Plaza Release: 2007 #moviesky #filmsky #podcast

#Podcast Reading Material: The Lord of the Ring, by J. R. R. Tolkien (1954 - 1955) Initially released as 3 volumes and eventually compiled as 1, Tolkien’s work is totemic and informed many books, movies, and more over the decades. Certainly should read if you enjoy the franchise! #booksky #filmsky

Future #Podcast Idea: "Father of the Bride" Not once, not twice, but thrice! You'd be forgiven for being unaware of the more recent direct-to-streaming remake of this comedy classic. More fodder for the #podcast? Director: Gaz Alazraki Release: 2022 #moviesky #filmsky

Physical Friday: "Heretic" A feature that has tons of mixed responses within the They Remade It circle, Jacob still made sure to grab a physical copy of it when he had the chance. It looks quite good, despite other flaws! Director: Scott Beck & Bryan Woods Release: 2024 #physicalfriday #filmsky

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.

Tomorrow, the other #movie that Stuart and Jacob will be discussing on the They Remade It #podcast is the Peter Jackson remake of the 1933 classic monster feature! Yes, skipping right over the 1976 film to get to the meat and potatoes of Jackson's 3 hour take!

This Wednesday, Stuart and Jacob visit the world of one of the original #movie monsters of fame: King Kong. The They Remade It #podcast has tons of options for what they'll be using as a comparison point, though what they've selected is probably pretty obvious!

What We've Been Watching: "Pressure" Jacob went ahead and decided to watch "Pressure" when it hit theaters a little while back. And while there were plenty of pros and cons, the integrated archival footage still intrigues him. Director: Anthony Maras Release: 2026 #moviesky #filmsky #podcast
