Future #Podcast Idea: "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey"
For another off-the-wall "They Remade It Again" episode, why don't the boys take a look at that slasher that should've never been and has spawned more than one sequel?
Director: Rhys Frake-Waterfield
Release: 2023

Stuart and Hannah finally caught the delightful "Paddington" feature that is now over a decade old, and they had nothing but nice things to say. Just like most audiences and critics!

#Podcast Reading Material: Through the Looking-Glass, by Lewis Carroll (1871)
A companion piece to the first book, don't forget to read this one as well! Most adaptations tend to blend characters and events of the two books together, so you can't go wrong reading both!

Future #Podcast Idea: "12 Angry Men"
A truly classic legal drama in every respect, Lumet's "12 Angry Men" has a titanic history from teleplay to screen to legend. With a 1997 remake, it would be prime real estate for coverage on the show!
Director: Sidney Lumet
Release: 1957

While Jacob enjoyed the first film well enough, he felt like it's sequel dropped the ball pretty hard, with an over-explanation of confounding supernatural lore and the like.

The story and its follow-up have been adapted plenty of times, many times by Disney themselves, as reflected in the "They Remade It" episode on the topic (or see the '88 Czech film Jacob loves)!

For a bit of a departure on the more "traditional" items covered for the "They Remade It" podcast, 2018's "Christopher Robin" would be an interesting topic to look at these characters' legacies.

Jacob was able to catch the new horror picture "Weapons" not long ago, and he had a great time with it, even if the narrative structure bothered him a bit. Consider him a full Cregger fan!

Inspiring a slew of films (both live-action and animated), and even the Ghibli picture "The Secret World of Arrietty", Mary Norton's "The Borrowers" is good reading for information on the "They Remade It' episode!

A collection of stories from plenty of storytellers, this has been repackaged for reading by modern audiences many times. Want more context for "Aladdin" and "The Thief of Bagdad"? Look no further!
