Show notes
Remake This Movie RIGHT is a bi-weekly podcast where we take a classic film that is actively being remade by Hollywood studio execs, and craft our own version for a modern retelling. Does the story need updating? Should characters or motives be tweaked? Do we need more muppets? We take all factors into account, concoct our film, and then offer a Final Pitch to you in movie trailer form. By the end of each episode, we will Remake This Movie RIGHT!
For this episode, we discuss the 1985 John Hughes classic, Weird Science. The film revolved around Wyatt and Gary (Ian Mitchell Smith and Anthony Michael-Hall), two high school nerds who become so fed-up with their lot in life that they decide to create the perfect woman in Lisa (Kelly LeBrock). As they find out, Lisa is much more than either of them could have bargained for.
Our show is broken down into three distinct parts:
The Original: We discuss Weird Science's impact, some quick trivia bits, what worked the best from the film and therefore must remain in our upcoming remake, and what didn't work or what needs to be changed for today's audiences.
The Remake: We put together our movie! What story do we want to tell, how close to the original will it be, who will star, and ultimately who should direct our eventual cinematic masterpiece? Our hosts work together to put together one cohesive movie, but there is one caveat - Each host has one 'CUT!' throughout the episode to employ which could completely derail the entire film.
The Final Pitch: This is where we summarize our remake by utilizing the voice talents of voiceover artist Wayne Henderson and present our finished remake to you in movie trailer form!
