Magic at the Movies takes a questionable detour into the world of remakes!
With Mike away once again on official Classic Cinemas business, a few of the Home Office minions saw an opportunity… and seized control of the podcast studio. The result? Another potentially award-winning episode created by a highly unqualified braintrust with access to microphones.
In celebration of the live-action remake of MOANA, the team dives into the fascinating (and occasionally frustrating) world of remakes. From BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and THE THING to THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR and many more, these three brave souls attempt to unpack what makes a remake work, what makes one stumble, and why Hollywood keeps coming back to familiar stories.
So join us for a trip down memory (loss) lane as three movie lovers fumble their way through decades of reimagined classics to bring you… what some people still call Magic at the Movies.
