They Remade It: The Movie Comparison Podcast

In this episode, Stuart and Jacob are joined by special guest Hannah as they take on a decade spanning musical, with examinations of the 1982 and 2014 films (and the Disney produced, made-for-TV 1999 version). Charm is explored and nostalgia expounded upon as they look upon the many memorable performances of 1982m, look at how they were done on television with a smaller budget, and then jump all the way ahead to modern times to view a story that could be anything OTHER than Annie!
