Join hosts Sarah and John as they re-imagine forgotten movies of the 80s, 90s, and 2000s for a modern audience. In each episode, Sarah tells the story of a film lost to time (or VHS). Then Sarah, John, and a special guest chat about what the film would look like if it was remade today--the cast, the soundtrack, the character that would have the biggest TikTok following...but actually they're just guessing on that last one because they're old enough to remember Myspace.
