Ideal Remake

Loved the episode on Brewsters Million- especially the comparisons between the existing versions and the dad that knows the worth of money when Brewster may not. But what would have been different with a female lead? Do you think the female perspective and experience would have changed how the $ was approached? The true value of diversity is not how people look on screen it is in the entirely different perspectives they see the world from and how they shape those journeys! Would she have told her best friend and lost everything because the lying was just too much? Would she find herself surrounded by men telling her what she should spend $ on or telling her she was doing it wrong? Would she be accused of getting the money from nefarious acts? Loved the show!

Ideal Remake is a cinephile's ideal podcast. The guests on the show are intellegent (and often industry professionals) and the premises and casting they dicuss for their hypothetical remakes often rival or surpass the film reboots that actually make it into theaters. The show is a fascinating creative excercise, and I often find myself inspired to work on my own projects after listening to it. Hitting play on Ideal Remake is like transporting yourself to your smartest friend's living room and listening in as they passionately pitch their best movie ideas. Sam is an awesome host, and does a great job threading the needle between entertainment, ideation, representation, and recreation. Rated 5 stars because that's the maximum number of stars.

A great concept that is truly so much fun to listen to.

This is a fun concept. I enjoy the nostalgia of revisiting some of my favorite childhood movies and contemplating how they could be improved and modernized in ways that are thoughtful and creative. Sam is a great host and he invites guests with diverse and interesting perspectives. I highly recommend this podcast.
