Let’s get freaky! In celebration of a sequel that has come 20 years later, we’re looking at the first two adaptations of Freaky Friday.

Welcome to Lights, Camera, Remake, where we try to determine whether Hollywood has truly run out of ideas. Sometimes that means doing body switch movies. Over. and over. And over again!

Another split episode because we talked too long. Freaky Friday (2003) is coming next episode!

Freaky Friday (1976)

IMDB Description: A mother and daughter find their personalities switched and have to live each other's lives on one strange Friday.

***

On each episode we’ll look at a movie and its remake, or sometimes a movie and its sequel, to determine if Hollywood rehashed it for a reason or for a cash grab.
