Buffy the Vampire Slayer

2025/12/16

To every season, there is a finale. And this one is a real doozy! Writer and Director Meredith Berg (@merebergerwin on Instagram) joins me to talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No… no not that one. The movie. We’re talking … Continue reading →

Sunset Boulevard

2025/12/02

An iconic movie from 1950 with an often misquoted final line, Sunset Boulevard is one of those movies that I probably should have watched by now. But oh well! No time like the 75 years ago! For this week’s episode … Continue reading →

The Parent Trap

2025/11/18

As tempted as I am to have this description just be a full transcription of Frank Sinatra’s L.O.V.E., there are other parts of this movie that have absolutely cemented themselves into my subconscious! This week, we have the amazing new … Continue reading →

The Running Man

2025/11/04

At long last a movie that’s all about cardio! Assuming your knees are up for it. We remade The Running Man! And we’re getting this in just under the wire so we don’t even know how much Edgar Wright crushed … Continue reading →

Night of the Comet

2025/10/21

So there’s this comet right. It’s a once in a lifetime, maybe ALL lifetimes, event to get to see it! So, like, obviously we’re gonna go out and see this comet. BIG MISTAKE! Now you’re red space dust! What’s that? … Continue reading →

Uncharted

2025/10/07

For a movie/franchise called “Uncharted” there sure were a lot of maps/charts… And that’s why Alex Caine (@foodandhippos on Instagram) is returning to Ideal Remake for yet ANOTHER video game movie! It really was time to cover Uncharted. After all, … Continue reading →

2025/09/23

Winner winner chicken dinner! And that is exactly how you should feel about getting to listen to this episode! That’s right, episode 175 of Ideal Remake is 21! Numbers are fun. At least our main character thinks so. And he’s … Continue reading →

Baby’s Day Out

2025/09/09

So there’s this baby. It might be, unironically, the greatest baby actor that I have ever seen in a movie. My perception of how good a baby actor could be in a movie has had the bar set from when … Continue reading →

What Women Want

2025/08/26

Imagine a guy. Like a guy’s guy. Just the most dude-guy-bro who ever was a man. Yeah we’re not doing that version of this movie. We’re doing our OWN version! With empathy! And listening! And possibly also some small dogs … Continue reading →

The Hot Rock

2025/08/12

This is a movie about stealing a diamond! And then stealing it again. And again. Aaaaaand again. But they’re definitely good thieves! They promise! So it’s perfectly fine to trust them with this helicopter. We’re remaking 1972’s The Hot Rock, … Continue reading →

The Naked Gun

2025/07/29

I am certain that this movie is going to be remade eventually. I couldn’t possibly predict when that remake will be coming out, so just to be safe, we better release this episode this week. I invited back my friend … Continue reading →

Uncle Buck

2025/07/15

He’s the kind of uncle we all wish we had but don’t necessarily want to be ourselves. That’s right it’s Uncle Buck! One of the lesser-known John Hughes movies despite it being the John Hughes movie that means the most … Continue reading →

Labyrinth

You remind of the pod. What pod? The pod with the power. What power? The power of remakes. Remakes? Remakes. Remakes! Remaking on this pod. Uhh… so anyway we’re remaking Labyrinth this episode! Emmy award-winning writing Shannon Peace (@citizen.peace on … Continue reading →

Bio-Dome

2025/06/17

For someone from Tucson, AZ who has actually spent time in Oracle and even AT the Biosphere 2, you’d think I would have seen Bio-Dome a long time ago! But nope! Luckily the master of all things mediocre was able … Continue reading →
