In the third episode of 'The Brothers Howell,' hosts Steve and Mike delve into the current trend of movie remakes and rehashes, lamenting the lack of originality in Hollywood. They discuss personal movie experiences, including Mike's recent viewing of a Led Zeppelin documentary and their mutual disappointment with many modern remakes. They highlight some effective remakes like 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' and 'Cape Fear,' while criticizing poorly executed ones such as 'The Longest Yard' and 'Footloose.' The episode also touches on the issue of studios prioritizing profitability over creativity, attributing the rise in remakes to financial safety and shareholder expectations. Ultimately, they express a desire for more original content and better-crafted remakes, urging studios to put more effort into storytelling and dialogue.
