A couple of other movie remakes and reboots like James Bond, Blade Runner and Peter Jackson’s King Kong are also injected into the conversation, and we also remember the wider work of that crazy Dutch filmmaker Paul Verhoeven. We hope you enjoy the ride!

Does Dirty Dancing, Starship Troopers and Time Bandits need to be remade? Spoiler: No! We hate to break it to you, but they’re cranking out even more lousy remakes! In this video we highlight some of the worst offenders, and get about as angry as Peter Dinklage ranting about dwarves getting hired in Hollywood movies. Let’s face it, Hollywood won’t believe it but we are sick of terrible movie remakes and that must be why they remake good movies when they should tackle some bad ones and try to make them better. No more shitty remakes, please! Leave Time Bandits, Starship Troopers and Rik Mayall’s Drop Dead Fred or there is going to be Big Trouble in Little China. Even Willy Wonka can’t save you.

The Will Smith Oscar slap and response proves awards shows suck. A guy storms the stage at the Academy Awards and slaps presenter Chris Rock, and minutes later gets an Oscar and an entire audience of Hollywood elites gives him a standing ovation? We give our case on why major awards shows should be slapped out of existence. Please consider donating to us at our Ko-fi funding page.

Considering the lame NBC fantasy series Manimal: Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! If you think that trying to make a TV series about a guy who can change into animals in the pre-CGI days of 1983 was a bad idea, then you’re as sharp as a hawk’s talons! Or is that a panther’s claws? Anyway, you’ll see plenty of both in this episode of TV Shows That Didn’t, part of a video series that takes a forensic dive into failed TV shows.

Did you know the producers of M*A*S*H tried to spin the character of Radar O’Reilly off into his own sitcom? Well, they did… and the patient died on the table. Watch the video for a forensic dive into a failed TV pilot for one of television’s most revered characters.

Part of a video series that takes a look at some of TV’s most notorious flops.
