  • Summary

  • In this head-to-head episode, Stuart and Jacob tackle the gridiron glory and comedic chaos of "The Longest Yard" – both the 1974 classic and its 2005 remake. With Burt Reynolds leading the '74 team and Adam Sandler at the helm in 2005, our hosts dissect the playbook on what makes a sports movie both entertaining and enduring. Does the original's blend of sports and comedy outmaneuver the remake's Happy Madison hijinks? And can anything in the 2005 version match the charisma of a mustache-less Reynolds?


    Also in this episode are the unexpected appearances of sports figures turned actors, the tonal touchdowns and fumbles, and a brief detour into the realm of esports and Zack Snyder's filmography. All this and more on They Remade It!
