Hollywood has been obsessed with live action remakes for quite some time, and it doesn't look like the trend is going anywhere any time soon. This episode dives into the trend of live action remakes, and the obsession with live action versions in general, across Disney and other big studios to even the TV screen, and whether there's a right way to repurpose an existing property.

(Not that anyone asked, but this was recorded/edited in June and only now released because I was going to edit the video version first but it got delayed so I'm just dropping this now. For context, that's why I don't mention certain recent projects that I will expand on in the companion article to come.)

The Phineas and Ferb revival has been out for a month by now, but prior to that, I recorded this in May to explore why the formula of the show not only works but actually induces creativity to keep the show fresh. This episode also dives into the world and characters of the show, the four seasons and special episodes, and some hopes for the revival.

Hollywood's been announcing new reboots, remakes, sequels, and spin-offs every five seconds, and people have been wondering if the entertainment industry is creatively bankrupt. This episode dives into the mountain of content being made that happens to be based on something else. Anything can be IP, and we'll take a look at everything from Mattel's toy-based content, the Harry Potter reboot, Pixar & animation, TV universes and reboots, public domain adaptations, superheroes, game-based content, horror, other types of franchising, and whether IP-based content is inherently a bad thing.
