Historically, Saint and Jim have railed against the idea of reboots, especially as compared to original IPs — especially ones that might never get made in favor of recycled rehash. However, even your curmudgeonly co-hosts must grudgingly admit that, at least on occasion, sometimes the creative types don't get it right until the second try. On this edition of FYF, the guys kick off the first edition of the three-episode Trilogy of Triumph by looking at reboots of movies and TV shows that were arguably better than the originals. From "A Star is Born" to "Dune" and even "Scarface", these reb- wait, "Scarface" was a redux? You're kidding. Wow! The Al Pacino one? Okay, that's interesting. Clearly, this one has some surprises in store. So saddle up and lend us your earholes for a look at some retreads that actually delivered.
