This week the girls take aim at things that are better than the original...
This week we are taking aim at the world of remakes. Movies, music, TV are all formats that have seen a multitude of remakes. Every now and then you stumble across a remake that is better than the original and tonight we are taking aim at a few....
But first, what were we drinking?

Amy introduced this week's topic by running through a brief history of remade music and movies. Amy then discussed some fun facts about the most remade movies and some epic flops of remade movies.
For something different and because she had to leave midway through recording the episode we let Sarah go first this week.
Sarah chose a couple of songs that she preferred the remake of instead of the originals. These songs included:
Respect by Aretha Franklin
Nothing Compares 2U By Sinead O'Conner
Killing Me Softly by The Fugees; and
The Sound Of Silence By Disturbed
If you like any of these songs please let us know or if you haven't listened to them, give them a listen. Sarah finished her part off with a movie. Sarah declared her love for the movie Titanic made in 1997 and stated in her opinion that this remake was better than the original and other adaptations of the story. Sarah mainly credits the success of this remake to Leonardo Di Caprio. Face it, you cannot beat Di Caprio.
Amy jumped back in at this point in the show to discuss a movie that she believed was better than the original. Amy's pick was the Stepford wives. The original was made in 1975 then remade in 2004.
Amy liked the remake better because she thought that the point the movie was trying to make about equality between the genders was better made in the remake. However, Amy accepts that many people (including Bianca) completely disagree with her and she doesn't care.

Bianca discussed the finer points between the Freaky Friday movies starting way back in the 70s, then to the first remake in the 90s. Coming in next is the 2000s version and bringing up the rear is the 2018 crapulence.
Bianca definitely had a hard time choosing between the 90s and 2000s versions but decided the 90s was her fav and the best remake.
As promised here is Sandra Bernhards best look she has given anyone in any movie ever! The contempt is amazing!
