Remakers Mark

In Part One of our discussion of the comedy/horror hybrid So I Married An Axe Murderer we reveal who we each picked to recast major and minor roles. Along the way, Kyle makes fun of Andy’s pick for Rose (surprise, surprise), and Jer throws us all for a loop with his casting of the two […]

In our fourth Special Episode of Remaker’s Mark, we discuss some of our most favorite hugely versatile actors and actresses. Not just character actors, but, rather, actors who can, and do, seemingly tackle any type of role with aplomb. We each present a major and a lightning round pick and we got some great recorded […]

In Part Two of our discussion of the 1980 horror classic The Shining, we reveal who our casting winners were, as well as what our next movie would be, then spend some time on some great casting feedback given by fans. Then, we dive into our discussion of what we loved about the original movie, […]

In Part One of our discussion of the 1980 horror classic The Shining, we reveal who we cast for the four major characters, as well as who we would choose to direct the remake. Along the way we contemplate the type of connection that both Dick and Danny have with the Overlook Hotel, how old […]

In Part Two of our discussion of Back to the Future, we first reveal who we chose for our recasting picks, as well as share some fantastic audience picks for the roles. We then go on to contemplate how the movie plays fast and loose with the space-time continuum, and discuss whether there might be […]

Here is part one of our discussion of one of the most beloved science fiction comedies of all time, Back to the Future. Here we tackle recasting five major characters, and three minor characters, and have a lot of fun (and a pretty tough time) recasting both Doc Brown and Marty. Kyle and Andy nearly […]

In Part Two of our discussion of Spies Like Us, we reveal who we chose for recasting the two major characters, as well as our two favorite minor character recasting choices, talk about the merits of the ‘comedy star + comedy star’ buddy movies of old, versus today’s ‘action star + comedy star’ buddy movies, […]

In part one of our discussion of the Cold War comedy classic Spies Like Us, we take on the daunting task of recasting Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd’s roles, as well as a veritable plethora of minor characters. Also, we wax poetic about missing the Cold War a bit…but only as a movie making backdrop, […]

In Part Two of our discussion of 1984’s award winning musical biopic Amadeus, we reveal who’s recasting picks we chose for both Salieri and Mozart, continue to show our appreciation for how music was discussed in the original, and how we’d honor that in our remake, talk about how this could be modernized, and finally, […]

In this episode of Remaker’s Mark we take a look at the Oscar winning 1984 biopic Amadeus. Here in part 1 we tackle remaking the major roles (Amadeus and Salieri), as well as several minor roles. Kyle might have gone off the deep end with his minor casting choice – stick around and find out […]

It’s been said that good casting is 90% of directing, and we here at Remaker’s Mark couldn’t agree more. In this, our third Special Episode, we focus on our favorite casting choices of all time. Those roles that we couldn’t possibly imagine being played by anyone else. This also happens to be the first Remaker’s […]

In Part 2 of our discussion of My Fair Lady we reveal who we chose to recast the major and minor roles. Kyle discusses his love/hate (mostly hate) relationship with musicals, and we ponder whether the remake should also be a musical. History buff Mark considers alternate times and places for a remake, finding parallels […]

In this first part of our discussion of the multiple Oscar winning 1964 musical ‘My Fair Lady’, we recast the three major roles, as well as five minor roles, and manage to alienate several populations (musical fans, Hungarians, and dancers) along the way. My Fair Lady: Rent: Netflix Disc Buy: DVD • BluRay Actors and […]

You might think that, given the nature of Remaker’s Mark, we’re game for remaking any and every movie out there. But you’d be wrong! In fact, there are some movies that we consider ‘Untouchables’. Not the actual movie Untouchables, but rather, movies that we would never ever want to see remade. This podcast is a […]

In Part 2 of our discussion of The Breakfast Club, we reveal our final casting choices, talk about how the stereotypes and cliques could be refreshed for today’s world, ponder ‘Punishment by Jefferson Starship’, and what detention and/or in school suspension is like in today’s high schools. Finally, we wonder whether there has been another […]
