  • Summary

  • In this intense and thrilling episode, Stuart and Jacob tackle the gripping narratives of "The Wages of Fear" and its "kinda, sorta" 1977 adaptation "Sorcerer". They delve into the harrowing journey of transporting volatile nitroglycerin through treacherous terrain, examining the character-driven drama and suspense that both films offer. How do these films explore themes of desperation, survival, and the human condition under pressure? And what makes one adaptation stand out over the other? Is it the odd synthetic soundtrack that sticks out of one like a sore thumb?


    Also in this episode are discussions about the perplexing title choice for "Sorcerer", their comedic take on Joe's bizarre behavior, the surprising lack of worthwhile character development in the remake, and a debate on whether they would transport volatile materials across a dangerous jungle themselves. All this and more on They Remade It!
