In this enchanting episode of They Remade It, Stuart and Jacob go all the way back to Disney's first full-length animated feature and compare it against the recent box-office debacle that was 2025's "Snow White". What happens a charming and beautiful fairy tale adaptation receives a 21st-century reimagining with over-politicization? Why the hell did Dopey NEED to speak at all, was it really that important? And while we're on that topic, why is Disney CGI still so atrociously ugly after a decade of these live-action remakes? You know what, I'm getting ahead of myself, just listen for yourselves.

Also in this episode are thoughts on the recent "Backrooms" feature, praise for proper costuming, a HUGE tirade against the current state of Disney and other corporations, and Stuart and Jacob's cute little dwarf names. All this and more on They Remade It!

In this very spicy episode of They Remade It, Stuart and Jacob embark on a journey through time and morality as they compare two adaptations of a Buddhist parable turned horror story: the hauntingly beautiful "Onibaba" from 1964 and its modern reimagining, "The Dreadful," set during the War of the Roses. There are some hot takes flying back and forth in this one, something that hasn't been seen for quite a while on the program, so be sure to tune into this one! And maybe check out the movies beforehand as well, prior to listening. Haven't mentioned that enough. Because if you AREN'T... what are you doin'?

Also in this episode are a prolonged "video game corner" with the hosts, when black and white as a choice is the most evocative, symbolism run amok, and a Nostalgia Critic rant asking why the 100 Acre Woods gang is so disrespectful to Rabbit. All this and more on They Remade It!

In this episode of They Remade It, Stuart and Jacob turn the volume up to 11 as they dive into the world of rock mockumentaries with a comparison of the iconic "This Is Spinal Tap" and its long-awaited sequel "Spinal Tap II." What makes the original such a funny, comedic staple in the genre and how do the aging rockers of the legasequel compare? How many cameos are too many? And how, most importantly of all, does the music compare?

Also in this episode are thoughts on the new Super Meat Boy game, that upcoming "Pressure" movie for some reason, discussions on Documentary Now, and a little music quiz for Stuart to suffer through. All this and more on They Remade It!

In this episode of They Remade It, Stuart and Jacob go through yet another musical as they're looking at two takes on Victor Hugo's classic novel. One of them isn't even a musical, huh?! Yes, similarly to previous topic "The Phantom of the Opera", there are non-musical versions that have been eclipsed by the ones with songs. How do things hold up? Is the story better to watch when people aren't belting out tunes? How is Liam Neeson against Hugh Jackman? And is Russell Crow's singing really that bad?

Also in this episode are thoughts on recent films like "Hoppers" and "Project Hail Mary", talks about the struggles of adapting classic literature that neither of them have read, musical analysis from non-professionals, and "The Man in the Iron Mask" on Broadway?! All this and more on They Remade It!

In this episode of They Remade It, Stuart and Jacob tackle the tumultuous terrain of marital discord with a comparison of two adaptations of "The War of the Roses." Danny DeVito's dark comedy from 1989, and Jay Roach's more modern and very slightly lighter take. Are these features too dark? How many antics are too many? Will this episode lead to Stuart and Jacob getting a separation drafted up with their attorneys? Tune in and find out!

Also in this episode are discussions on "Resident Evil: Requiem", discussions on when dark comedies are too dark, the truth behind Olivia Colman's EpiPen, and a brief synopsis of "Jack the Bear". All this and more on They Remade It!

In this episode of They Remade It, Stuart and Jacob delve into the realms of time travel with a comparison of two adaptations of H.G. Wells' classic tale, "The Time Machine". There are plenty of differences in how motivations are captured, but what of the characters? And how do the machines and the set designs differ? And what of the Uber-Morlock?!

Also featured in this episode is an up-top gaming corner with "Abiotic Factor" and "Crisol: Theater of Idols", magnetic rings versus holograms, the influence of Planet of the Apes on future "future Earth" stories, and the alluring nature of ancient Egypt. All this and more on They Remade It!

In this episode, Stuart and Jacob kick off season 9 (yes, 9!) of the show with a thrilling comparison of two dystopian action films, with the original transporting us to the far off year of 2017. The duo dives into the absurd creativity of the original, and put it up against a much more realistic (at least by today's standards) take on what our modern day looks like. I mean hey, ultimately both of these are reflections of their times in certain ways, that's what makes a compelling dystopian story! But the more the entertainment landscape changes, the more it stays the same...

Also featured in this episode are bits and bobs about Fallout's season 2, the effectiveness of Arnold's image, game shows vs reality shows, and the monster that is Dynamo. All this and more on They Remade It!

Stuart and Jacob have made it through yet another year, but they aren't done talking yet! They have the whole of 2025 to go over, and they have some thoughts on a range of topics (and maybe a rant or two as well). Throughout the course of this longer than average episode, they discuss varying aspects of the year, reviewing The Oscars , upcoming releases, a few of the individuals that were lost, and they reflect on their favorite (and least favorite) films that they saw this past year. Happy Holidays, and to a prosperous new year!
