Last week, we spent an hour doing what was probably the best "Reel to Reel" episode we've ever done... but we forgot to press record. Sorry! This episode is an attempt to recreate the original conversation in all its glory — which is fitting, because our theme for the week is remakes. Are there really more remakes these days, or does it just feel that way? Has music gotten less original, or, to quote Nina quoting "Fight Club," is everything just a copy of a copy of a copy? What did we do to deserve the uncanny-valley weirdness of the "Cats" and "The Lion King" remakes in the same calendar year? We answer all of these questions and more today on "Reel to Reel." (Note: Yes, "Curb Your Enthusiasm" is and always was an HBO show, despite Will very confidently mansplaining otherwise.) And here's that trailer for "Cats," if you missed it.
