À propos de cet audio

In this episode, Stuart and Jacob do some investigating to compare the iconic 1974 classic "Chinatown" with its 1990 sequel, "The Two Jakes." They explore the masterful storytelling and character depth that made "Chinatown" a defining film of its genre, while dissecting the baffling choices and tonal shifts in its follow-up. How does Jack Nicholson as an actor change over time? What does the sequel reveal about the characters we thought we knew? And why does "The Two Jakes" at times feel more like a parody than a continuation of the original's legacy?

Also featured in this episode are talks about both of the newer superhero movies hitting the theaters, an exploration of costuming and set-dressing, praise for John Huston, and some questionable Nicholson impressions. All this and more on They Remade It!
