We live in an era of remakes and sequels. Sound familiar? That is because August we did Originals, movies where Corey  (@coreyrstarr) or Jonathan (@berkreviews) had seen a remake but never the original film that inspired it. This month, they are flipping the script and watching a remake of an original they either loved or, at the very least, saw in the aptly named theme of REMAKES!!!


As far as the podcast goes, each episode features an in-depth review of the movie for the week. They begin with a spoiler-free review before diving in completely after the needed spoiler warning. However, before getting into the review of the week, Jonathan and Corey discuss what other movies they've seen since the last episode as well as anything else they feel like discussing. To help them decide which of the many films to watch each month they started creating themes for them all.


Week 4 - Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)


Corey's picks seem to be in Jonathan's favor this month as they both watched the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) together a few years back and enjoyed it. Jonathan watched the 1978 remake not long ago and loved it even more. This remake is directed by Philip Kaufman and stars Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, and Jeff Goldblum among others. "When seeds drift to earth from space, mysterious pods begin to grow and invade a small town, replicating the residents one body at a time."
