Dirty Dancing? Starship Troopers? Time Bandits?! Stop With the Movie Remakes!



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.

TV Shows That Didn’t: Manimal, the Ultra-Lame 1983 Fantasy Series

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.
