Remakes Reboots & Revivals

Tweens & Teens - Boy Meets World & Girl Meets World

In 1993, Cory Matthews juggled school, friends, and romance for 7 seasons. In 2015 his daughter, Riley, juggled the same things for 3 seasons. In 2018, Nicole and Rolando juggle Topanga’s passivity, Eric’s serial killer vibes and what really happened to Mr Turner??

Satanism for Kids! - The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina the Teenage Witch

Black cats, black magic and gorgeous black men under house arrest - "The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" brings things old and new to a new generation. But how does it compare to the 90s classic "Sabrina the Teenage Witch"? Nicole and Rolando discuss, and might have set a curse or two..

Know Your Gay History - A Star is Born

Janet. Judy. Barbra. Gaga. Need we say more? Yaasss! And plenty! Nicole and Rolando dish on all four film versions of “A Star is Born” and gab on who is the brightest star of them all!

Murdered by Mike Myers - Halloween

Happy Halloween! Nicole and Rolando celebrate "the night he came home" by looking back at the last 40 years of "Halloween" films. And like the newest film, they'll be ignoring most of what happened in the franchise by focusing on the original and the new.

Devoted Fanbase - Ghostbusters

Who you gonna call? This week is all about "Ghostbusters," and how to protect childhood nostalgia from (gasp!) WOMEN! But do we have to? Was "Ghostbusters" really even that great to begin with? And was the remake terrible… or did nobody actually give it a chance?
Nicole and Rolando are ready to bust up some ghosts and take on a toxic fanbase. Listen now.

Metrosexuality for Dummies - Queer Eye

In a world bereft of fashion, 5 queer men seek to save the world from unkemptness! Or, perhaps, just to bring some gay-ety into the world. Nicole and Rolando dish the tea on Queer Eye for this week's episode. 

Hipster Mustache - Murder on the Orient Express

It seems mustaches have a bad reputation on the Orient Express. But the real question is: does the 2017 remake of Murder on the Orient Express stand up to the original for Nicole and Rolando?

Prime Millennial Nostalgia - Beauty and the Beast

"You cannot love others until you learn to love a beast". Oh, that’s not the saying? Someone tell the Beast that! It's not just prisoners with Stockholm syndrome, a bitter salty enchantress and hot-headed beasts that make up these two films. Listen to Nicole and Rolando's take on a Disney Classic.

Danger Audience! - Lost in Space

In all universes, Will Robinson is always in danger… and surrounded by hotties. So, get Lost in Space with us as we navigate through all the retellings of Robinson Crusoe in space!
Revisions: Rolando said Uhura does navigation in Star Trek. He was wrong. She was the communications officer. He begs for forgiveness.

What is ”Remakes, Reboots and Revivals?”

What is Remakes, Reboots and Revivals? Hosted by Rolando and Nicole, two queer Latinx millennials, we're a podcast that focuses on analyzing and discussing Hollywood’s exploitation of nostalgia and lack of originality. We try figure out what Hollywood was thinking and answer, “Did we need this remake, reboot, or revival?” Every week we’ll navigate through different films or television shows, comparing and contrasting, and giving tons of sass along the way.
Join us and until next time, stay unoriginal!
