Ever watched a movie and thought, "Anyone could make something better than this garbage?" Well so have hosts Josiah and Rob. That's why they started The Remake--a podcast where they don't just criticize movies; they tell you how they would have made them better.
Every week Josiah and Rob are joined by a different guest with a new movie to remake. Whether their ideas are good, bad, or simply strange, they'll find a home on The Remake.

Even though The Remake has ridden off into the sunset, former co-host Josiah has gotten back up on that podcast horse.
Please check out Josiah's new podcast, The $8 Game Show! Every week has different rounds and games. In this debut episode, cartoon writer Chris Carter plays the name game, makes his Laffy Taffy, and tries his hand at some foley work. But will he put it all on the line to answer The Pretty Hard Question?
