This week, the Debaters ask: Why remake perfection?
From Disney’s CGI fur-fests to soulless shot-for-shot snoozefests, we're debating the highs, lows, and WHYs of live-action remakes of animated classics.
Do they honor the originals or recycle your childhood for a quick buck?
DEBATE TOPICS INCLUDE:
- The best and worst live-action remakes
- Should animation just stay animated?
- Is “The Photorealistic Lion King” just Nat Geo with Beyoncé?
- Which remake improved on the original (spoiler: it's rare)
🎬 PLUS:
- A Severance Season 2 preview: Will work/life balance ever recover?
- A review of The Four Seasons – not the hotel or the pizza joint
- Good Will Hunting gets dissected with therapy, math, and Boston accents
