  • Summary

  • In this gut-busting episode (we hope), Stuart and Jacob delve into the world of Broadway and film by comparing the original 1967 Mel Brooks classic "The Producers" with its 2005 musical adaptation. They explore the transition from a satirical comedy about a scheme to produce a Broadway flop into a full-fledged musical. How does the humor and satire of the original hold up against the more modern, song-filled remake? And what do these films say about our evolving approach to comedy and musicals? Anything? Anything at all?


    Also in this episode are discussions about the pronunciation of Zero Mostel's name, a dive into the deep-end with "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice", the question of when does satire stop being funny and start being hateful, and Stuart and Jacob creating their own musicals starring controversial figures. All this and more on They Remade It!
