How often do you watch a remake or a reboot of a franchise you love and come away wondering why they even bothered? Probably 9 times out of 10. This week Alex and George are taking a tour of those remakes that actually justify existing and the rare reboots that seem to understand the franchise they are a part of. Though, remember, it's OK if you don't agree!
