On the topic of remakes we discuss a video essay on the topic, and then look at a fan film about Terminators.

We stick to a theme this episode: Remakes.

First we discuss a very topical video from the YouTube channel Counter Arguments which discusses remakes in Hollywood. It’s a not-so-subtle response to the overall backlash against Ghostbusters. Have we reached peak remake? I’d say we haven’t, if only because the studios are still making money.

Today’s short is also in the realm of remakes/retellings. We look at a fan film from the Terminator universe called Sex, Lies, and Terminators .

Joe gets very confused about who directed the remake of The Magnificent Seven, so just ignore him when he talks about Quentin Tarantino.
