Future #Podcast Idea: "How to Train Your Dragon"
While neither Stuart nor Jacob have actually seen the movie yet, it would be nice to tackle a live-action remake on the program that isn't explicitly Disney. So maybe an upcoming episode?
Director: Dean DeBlois
Release: 2025

Jacob had plenty to say about this one in last year's "Annie" episode of the show, a murderous clown ghost story involving indigenous stolen land... what?
Director: Asif Akbar and Lance Kawas

#Podcast Reading Material: Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, by Robert Louis Stevenson (1886)
If ever a story had a long tail in the zeitgeist, the concept of Jekyll and Hyde is certainly one. Even "The Nutty Professor", as discussed on the podcast previously!

A modern animated classic from DreamWorks recently got the live-action remake treatment last year, so this could end up being a great topic for Stuart and Jacob on the show!

Stuart and Jacob have both been playing this recently in between podcast records! Stuart's interest has waned, while Jacob has loved it just as he did the first. Good chill-out game?

#Podcast Reading Material: Amazing Fantasy #15, by Marvel Comics (1962)
Kirby, Heck, Ditko, and Lee all brought us Spider-Man back in 1962, and this has obviously had one of the longest tails in superhero history. At least give a cursory glance if you like any of the films!

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?

#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

#Podcast Reading Material: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll (1865)
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)!
