The God of Cookery is a wonderful comedy written, directed, and starring the amazing Stephen Chow along side Karen Mok, and Vincent Kok. What is it you ask? Think of it as Iron Chef if the chairman was an arrogant jerk, who can't cook, but learns to do it once he has been dethroned while learning humility along the way. Join Invasion of the Remake as we try to remake our first foreign film for a Western audience. Can it be done? Download this week's episode to find out.

Invasion of the Remake goes back in time to our childhoods and revisits a Walt Disney classic, 101 Dalmatians! Cruella De Vil is obsessed with fur, she adores it, and there is nothing that will stop her from getting it. Unfortunately her latest obsession is with Roger and Anita's dalmatians, Pongo, Perdita and their puppies. 101 Dalmatians (1961) brings grand adventure and social themes together in an animated classic that still resonates over 50 years later. Today live action remakes of classic Walt Disney animated features has become the norm, but in 1996 it was a fresh new idea, and they did it with out the aid of CGI. This week it is classic animation versus the live action film starring Glenn Close, Jeff Daniels, Joely Richardon, Hugh Laurie, Mark Williams and Joan Plowright!

We're celebrating 100 episodes with the movie most ripe for a remake that it is insane to think that no one has done it yet. Creature From the Black Lagoon (1954) was a late comer to the Universal Monsters family, but the monsters visuals are iconic and imprinted in our minds. It is a science-fiction, horror classic. Why Hollywood hasn't remade it is anyone's guess. With it now on the Dark Universe film slate we thought we'd take our best shot at it before Universal does. So this week we trade our spaceship for a boat and rediscover the Creature From the Black Lagoon.

This week we enter the bowls of the asylum and enter the mind of psychotic serial killer Hannibal Lecter. Originally portrayed on screen by Brian Cox in Manhunter (1986), Hannibal would be later defined by the performance of Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs (1991), Hannibal (2001) and Red Dragon (2002). While both Manhunter and Red Dragon are adaptations of the Thomas Harris novel, Michael Mann's vision is very different than Brett Ratner's version and we'll explore that. Both films sport an all-star cast, Manhunter also stars William (CSI) Petersen, Kim Greist, Joan Allen, Dennis Farina, and Tom Noonan. Red Dragon is a who's who of Oscar nominated or winning actors and actress with the likes of Edward Norton, Ralph Fiennes, Harvey Keitel, Emily Watson, Mary-Louise Parker, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. It's the Hannibal Lecter battle this week on Invasion of the Remake. Won't you sit down and dine on Director with us?

The story of Bufford Pusser is an inspiring one. He returns to his home town to find it has fallen prey to corruption at every level. He stands up to the gangsters running his beloved town and becomes town Sheriff. He uses this position to clear the town of this corruption, but it comes with a tragic price. The story of Walking Tall (1973) is based on the true life story of Bufford Pusser portrayed by Joe Don Baker. It also launched a successful franchise, sparking two sequels, a television remake and series, and inspiration for countless other films.
The remake of the film in 2004 was one of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson & WWE Films earliest movies. The names may have changed, and the story modernized, but the basic story of Bufford Pusser remains in tact. But how does it fair against the original? The Rock and Joe Don Baker step in the Invasion of the Remake ring and only one will come out Walking Tall.

Arnold Schwarzenegger stars in the sci-fi, action film based on a story by Richard Bachman (aka Stephen King) alongside Maria Conchita Alonso, Yaphet Kotto, and Richard Dawson.

A plane crashes into a small town's reservoir, accidentally spreading a biological weapon called TRIXIE among the town's population. If the virus doesn't kill you, it makes you insane. The uninfected must not only survive The Crazies, but also dodge military forces who want to contain the outbreak by any means necessary. But no virus can stand up to Invasion of the Remake scrutiny.
This week we discuss George A. Romero's original film The Crazies (1973) starring Lane Caroll, Will MacMillan, Harold Wayne Jones, Lloyd Hollar and Lynn Lowery and see how the remake (2010) by director Breck Eisner holds up. With an all star cast of Radha Mitchell, Timothy Olyphant, Joe Anderson, and Danielle Panabaker it certainly is off to a good start. Can we sort this out, or are we crazy for even trying? Get your gas masks on as we take on The Crazies!

This week we travel to the fantasy world of Krull (1983). Here there is magic, evil creatures, cyclops, seers of the future, crystal spiders and a great Beast bent on ruling the universe. It also happens to be a childhood favorite of some of the hosts here at Invasion of the Remake. This cult fantasy film may have been a box office flop in 1983, but we think it is ripe for a remake, Invaders style. After all something has to film the vacuum left by Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Listen to this weeks episode and see if our version is worthy of filling that void.

Surely not a Airplane episode? Absolutely, and don't call me Shirley. When the Zucker brothers were looking for a new project they stumbled upon an obscure airplane disaster film called Zero Hour! (1957). It was overly dramatic, had an absurd concept, and was hilarious in its sincerity. It really only needed a little push over the edge to become farce. That farce became Airplane! (1980) and began a new era of comedic spoof movies, reinventing the career of Leslie Nielsen. Airplane! took serious dramatic actors like Robert Hayes, Julie Hagerty, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, and Robert Stack into new comedic territory, creating a comedy classic. Invasion of the Remake takes to the skies as we explore a comedy remake of a drama, and remembers not to eat the fish. Like, share, and subscribe!

Can the smallest cars be part of one of the largest gold heists ever conceived? Well The Italian Job (1969) brought that concept to the silver screen for the first time with Michael Caine, Noël Coward, and comedy legend Benny Hill. Director F. Gary Gray would revisit this idea in the 2003 remake with an all-star cast in Donald Sutherland, Mark Wahlberg, Edward Norton, Charlize Theron, Jason Statham, Seth Green and Mos Def. Can three small Mini Coopers (or Austin Minis) haul three tons of gold in these action, comedies? The Invaders once again descend to earth to dissect the phenomenon you humans call the cinematic remake.

Strange things can happen to people suffering from sleep deprivation, poor hand/eye coordination, slower cognitive abilities, hallucinations, paranoia, and possibly teaming up with the very killer you were supposed to catch. In episode 89 of the podcast that never sleeps, we watched Norwegian crime film Insomnia (1997) starring Stellan Skarsgård, and the Christopher Nolan 2002 remake starring Oscar winning actors Al Pacino, Robin Williams and Hilary Swank. There's no time to nap, when there is another episode of Invasion of the Remake!

A young man tries to get a fresh start and a new life by traveling to the great city from his small village, but the great city has problems of its own in the monster known as the Jabberwocky. Terry Gilliam makes his solo directorial debut with Jabberwocky (1977) and brings along Michael Palin and Terry Jones for that Monty Python-esque flavoring. Jabberwocky is a tongue-in-cheek fairy tail where the fairy tail happens by accident. This week Invasion of the Remake takes a look at this medieval comedy and rethinks it for a theoretical remake. What would that look like? Subscribe now to find out for yourselves!

Mother's Day is upon us and what better way to celebrate than with two films about psychopathic mothers and the children who love them. First up is Mother's Day (1980) directed by Charles Kaufman, brother of Lloyd Kaufman, founder of Troma Films. It stars Tiana Pierce, Nancy Hendrickson, and Deborah Luce as a trio of girls out for an annual party weekend, but only to find a sadistic family that wants to torture them. Actress Beatrice Pons and her loyal but evil children played by Michael McCleery and Frederick Coffin round out this cult favorite.
Mother's Day (2010) directed by Saw franchise favorite Darren Lynn Bousman has an all-star cast in Jaime King, Shawn Ashmore, Briana Evigan, Patrick John Flueger, Warren Kole and Rebecca De Mornay as Mother! Does the remake pale in the light of the original or does it hold a standard as to what remakes can be? Join the Invaders as we salute the women who raised us, and horror these cinematic mothers brought to the silver screen.

In Victorian England, Sir Hugo Cunningham is seeking the secrets of life and death. In his research he discovers the means to capture the spirit of death, The Asphyx, and hold it indefinitely. In effect, becoming immortal. But immortality comes at a great cost. This is the crux of The Asphyx (1972, aka The Horror of Death), a small studio homage to the classic Hammer Films of the 60's and 70's. Don't worry, we'd never heard of it either, and it was kind of awesome. The Asphyx is exactly the kind of film Invasion of the Remake likes to discuss, rethink, and in effect, remake for today's audiences. So please join Jason, Sam, and Trish as they look into the forgotten gothic horror film, The Asphyx!

This week we talk about one of Trish's favourite subjects, SHARKS! Specifically those that have terrified us in the movies and on television. Jaws terrified and kicked off the summer blockbuster but also created a horror subgenre of it's own, that of the killer shark, and the recent sharksploitation explosion that gave us The Asylum and it's Sharnado franchise. We talk about 3-headed sharks, snow sharks, dinosaur sharks, sand sharks, ghost sharks, zombie sharks and every insane idea we could find and come up with a few ideas of our own. Also hear some of our true life shark tales on this very toothy episode of Invasion of the Remake. No shark cage required.

This week we can remember it for you..for free! Douglas Quaid dreams of a beautiful woman, another world and another life in Total Recall. Loosely based on the Philip K. Dick story "We Can Remember it For You Wholesale" Director Paul Verhoeven takes Arnold Schwarzenegger from Earth to Mars alongside Sharon Stone, Michael Ironside, and Ronny Cox. Although maybe that was the dream Verhoeven had in 1990 and Director Len Wiseman's 2012 remake is the real deal. There is no Mars, but Colin Farrell, Kate Bekinsale, Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston, John Cho, and Bill Nighy will take you on a wild ride from one end of the planet to the other. Was it the vacation of a lifetime or did it all really happen for Quaid? Invasion of the Remake will try to find the answers for these sci-fi, action films in this week's episode.

Remaking a John Hughes classic coming of age comedy like Weird Science (1985) is no easy task. It is probably easier to conjure a hot date out of junk laying around the studio. Anthony Michael Hall and Ilan Mitchell-Smith certainly make it look easy to create a gorgeous, near omnipotent, Kelly LeBrock out of thin air. Thanks to the advanced technology and intellect here on the Invasion mothership we have the ability to remake this fun 80's film because we are Invasion of the Remake!

This week we have violent, sex & drug addicted, anthropomorphic animals starring in our third fan challenge. They are staging a variety show, in the vein of The Muppet Show, but with a lot more puss, blood, and Vietnam flashbacks. This pre Lord of the Rings Peter Jackson manages to create a sick & twisted world full of insanity on a miniscule budget. It's easy to see the birth of Jackson's attention to detail that has permeated throughout his career. There are almost to many characters, with there interesting quirks, addictions, and homicidal thoughts, to discuss in one podcast. But Invasion of the Remake is up to the challenge as we remake Meet the Feebles (1989)!
LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED but this is a fan challenge so you brought this upon yourselves. No puppet shall get out alive!

The cops can't catch them. The FBI can't catch them. Can a cab driver? This Luc Besson scripted action, comedy was scripted in 30 days while waiting for a studio to give the go ahead on The Fifth Element. Under the direction of Gérard Pirès Taxi (1998) spawned 3 more sequels in France. The success of Taxi brought it to the attention of American film makers and Taxi was remade in 2004 (aka New York Taxi) by Tim Story and starring Queen Latifah and Jimmy Fallon. Invasion of the Remake pays the fair, goes for a ride, and sees which film takes us to our destination without puking.
