In this gut-busting episode (we hope), Stuart and Jacob delve into the world of Broadway and film by comparing the original 1967 Mel Brooks classic "The Producers" with its 2005 musical adaptation. They explore the transition from a satirical comedy about a scheme to produce a Broadway flop into a full-fledged musical. How does the humor and satire of the original hold up against the more modern, song-filled remake? And what do these films say about our evolving approach to comedy and musicals? Anything? Anything at all?

Also in this episode are discussions about the pronunciation of Zero Mostel's name, a dive into the deep-end with "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice", the question of when does satire stop being funny and start being hateful, and Stuart and Jacob creating their own musicals starring controversial figures.

In this thrilling episode, Stuart, Jacob, and mutual friend Stephanie take a deep dive into the world of genetically resurrected dinosaurs by comparing the original 1993 classic "Jurassic Park" with its 2015 sequel "Jurassic World." They explore the transformation of Michael Crichton's cautionary tale from a groundbreaking thriller to a modern-day action-packed spectacle. How does Spielberg's masterful direction hold up against Colin Trevorrow's CGI-laden sequel? And what do these films say about our evolving relationship with technology, nature, and corporate greed? Will they even touch on these topics while discussing wardrobe and Daniel Craig in "Knives Out"?

Also in this episode are ruminations on "American Psycho", a debate on Dennis Nedry, the importance of lighting in films, and divorce as a theme in "Jurassic Park". Kind of. All this and more on They Remade It!
