Stuart and Jacob have made it through yet another year, but they aren't done talking yet! They have the whole of 2024 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!

In this lively episode, Stuart and Jacob delve into the world of "Mean Girls" by comparing the 2004 cult classic with its 2024 musical remake. Joined by special guest Hannah, they explore the themes of high school cliques, social media's impact, and the challenges of adapting a beloved film into a musical. How does the musical adaptation hold up against the original, and what are the standout performances in each? Is Regina George's reign as queen bee as iconic in the musical as it was in the original film?

Also in this episode are deliberations on "Wicked", a conversation on the different eras of Saturday Night Live, the purpose of songs in musical, and the inverse of a question that has been asked once before. All this and more on They Remade It!

In this holiday episode, Stuart and Jacob take a deep dive into the heartwarming classic "It's a Wonderful Life" and its lesser-known 1977 television remake, "It Happened One Christmas". They explore the timeless themes of community, sacrifice, and the impact of one person's life. How does the gender-swapped version hold up against the original? And what makes the 1946 classic a staple of holiday viewing? Is it the divine intervention or the iconic performance of Jimmy Stewart that continues to resonate with audiences today?

Also in this episode, they discuss the surprising quality of the 1977 TV remake, the challenges of adapting such a beloved film, the potential pitfalls of a modern-day remake, and a lighthearted debate on what makes the perfect Hallmark holiday movie and a humorous pitch for their own holiday film concept.
