The Rescuers
2w ago01:18:54Tap to summarizeLucky for you, this is a special episode! This episode has been in a glass bottle, bobbing in the ocean, for nearly three months! But now it’s here! Only slightly damaged from the water, so it’s still good! And we are very happy to bring you this message as fast as we were able to! This week, we’re remaking 1977’s THE RESCUERS! Is this the one where they go to Australia? No. It’s the one where the scary lady takes off her eyelashes and traumatized a generation. It’s great! And I’m excited to talk about it with my amazing guest and host of the Nothing New podcast, Justin Quizon (@JustinQuiz on instagram)! We’re talking about mice and the ONLY way to travel… Albatross Air!

Transcribe →Cocktail
4w ago01:27:28Tap to summarizeHey thanks for coming in, what can I getcha? Oh just a gin and tonic? Alright one sec… BIG CRASHING NOISE! Okay so I never learned how to do all the bottle flips and tricks that Tom Cruise learned in his non-dominant hand for that movie Cocktail. I hope that’s not a problem? But I did learn that I can have a fantastic conversation and remake that whole movie with my friend Tanner Vogelgesang (@sparkyupstart)! And we did do that! And you’re listening to it! HOORAY!! And now I need to sweep up all this glass… Guests: Tanner Vogelgesang – @sparkyyougupstart on Instagram @idealremake on Instagram Host: Sam Gasch – @samgasch on BlueSky Artwork: Jason Hammons (@JasonHalftones on Instagram) Theme Song: Rebel Spies “Not Dead, Not Yet” from the album Rise!: www.rebelspies.bandcamp.com Join the Dueling Genre Discord Server: https://discord.gg/rngwTkz8yw Support Dueling Genre on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/dgp Patreon Associate Producers: Matt Bennett and Mark Ybarra
Transcribe →Ghost Rider
Apr 701:22:12Tap to summarizeIdeal Remake RETURNS for Season 9! And what better way to make a grand entrance than riding a motorcycle through FOUR flaming hoops and over a bakers dozen school buses! We certainly wouldn’t have had to make sort of nefarious deals to pull that off! The only deal we needed was with this week’s returning guest Yousif Nash (@vaderfanog on Instagram)! Yousif was first on the show to remake The Hulk. Now we’re talking the greatest daredevil that isn’t Daredevil! We’re remaking GHOST RIDER!! So sit down, listen up, and just sign whatever is in front of you without bothering to read it because Ideal Remake is BACK! And we’re more on fire than ever!

Transcribe →Sunset Boulevard
Dec 201:51:57Tap to summarizeAn iconic movie from 1950 with an often misquoted final line, Sunset Boulevard is one of those movies that I probably should have watched by now. But oh well! No time like the 75 years ago! For this week’s episode I’m joined by my friend and Paramount Archivist, Graham Marshall (@gwindalf on Letterboxd). He has all the knowledge about this movie and I have the wide-eyed enthusiasm of someone who just saw a masterpiece for the first time! And we’re gonna get our dirty mitts all over it. And I am very happy with what we ended up with when we made it to the end of this long and illustrious road!

Transcribe →The Parent Trap
Nov 1801:10:58Tap to summarizeAs tempted as I am to have this description just be a full transcription of Frank Sinatra’s L.O.V.E., there are other parts of this movie that have absolutely cemented themselves into my subconscious! This week, we have the amazing new guest Shana Holmes (@Shanashananza on Instagram) joining so we can prove that two heads are better than one when you’re remaking The Parent Trap! An absolutely critical part of so many childhoods, ours included, we will have to figure out a plan to get these Parents together. Some sort of… Trap, if you will. It’s a good thing we have Chessy on our side or else I don’t know WHAT we’d do!

Transcribe →The Running Man
Nov 401:02:01Tap to summarizeAt long last a movie that’s all about cardio! Assuming your knees are up for it. We remade The Running Man! And we’re getting this in just under the wire so we don’t even know how much Edgar Wright crushed it yet! It’s the far off, distant future of 2017. The United States is run by a gameshow host who kills people for ratings. *clears throat* So… yeah. But at least we had fun remaking it! I am joined by Ian Ager (@IanAger on the socials) to give this gameshow a real boost before mid-season sweeps! Can we get the ratings we need to avoid becoming contestants ourselves? Let’s find out!

Transcribe →Night of the Comet
Oct 2101:34:36Tap to summarizeSo there’s this comet right. It’s a once in a lifetime, maybe ALL lifetimes, event to get to see it! So, like, obviously we’re gonna go out and see this comet. BIG MISTAKE! Now you’re red space dust! What’s that? You were just around but didn’t actually look at the comet? BIG MISTAKE! Now you’re a zombie slowly turning into dust! The fate of humanity is in the hands of whoever happened to be completely protected by some sort of steel infrastructure. I just hope you didn’t leave the vents open! Returning to Ideal Remake is Jake Hoolihan (@KinoTripper on Instagram and YOUTUBE) and they will definitely be the right person for the job of definitely NOT LOOKING AT THE COMET. For sure this time. Hopefully.

Transcribe →Uncharted
Oct 701:28:32Tap to summarizeFor a movie/franchise called “Uncharted” there sure were a lot of maps/charts… And that’s why Alex Caine (@foodandhippos on Instagram) is returning to Ideal Remake for yet ANOTHER video game movie! It really was time to cover Uncharted. After all, it came out all the way back in 2022! That’s slightly over three years ago! So long! So obviously the time is now. And for those of you who are big fans of these video games, don’t worry! Alex has played all of them, liked three of them, and gets me through most of the important points I think!
