They compare the two films, focusing on themes of violence, revenge, and the directorial choices that make the remake arguably superior.

You can also listen to the episode here: https://thebraincandypodcast.com/episode/933Susie's Chili's is back after a two year closure due to fire, and she's finally got her baby back. And we learn the reason she is obsessed with the fast casual restaurant chain in the first place, and how it relates to her time on reality tv. We hear the follow-up on a man who jumped off a Disney cruise ship to save his daughter who fell off the boat, and we cheer on dads doing superhero shit. We learn about some people who, after decades of severe schizophrenia, have made complete recoveries after receiving treatment for a separate disease, which is showing doctors that there might be more at play than just a mental illness in the first place. And we learn the fascinating downsides to going back to "normal" after living with mental illness. Susie tells the story of a pediatrician who accidentally killed his toddler son, how he channeled his pain into saving lives, and why workaholism can be a powerful tool for people struggling with grief.DON'T MISS LIVE TRIVIA NIGHT: https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsFollow Susie on Instagram,it's a laugh a minute: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Get $10 off your first month's subscription and free shipping when you go to https://nutrafol.com and enter the promo code BRAINCANDYThis episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Susie hasn't been this happy since we found out Luigi Mangioni's name thanks to the Coldplay cheaters on the kiss cam. We discuss how it's not the crime, but the cover-up once again that got them into trouble. We debate which concerts are cheater concerts, whether it's ok to make fun of people like them who go viral, and what we think will happen to them now. We talk about the Amy Bradley Is Missing documentary, the insanity of cruise "law" and security, and what we think happened to this woman who disappeared mysteriously from a cruise ship. Sarah explains why young people need more "little treats" than previous generations, and for once Susie defends younger generations. Plus, we hear about the Gilgo Beach Long Island serial killer's family, why they can't accept that he killed people despite the overwhelming evidence pointing to him.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Get $10 off your first month's subscription and free shipping when you go to https://nutrafol.com and enter the promo code BRAINCANDYThis episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

LIVE trivia is this Wednesday July 30th at 8PM! - Today, Sarah tells a story about a man who watched a few YouTube videos and pretended to be a dentist, performing actual dental work on people. This leads us to think of the professions one could fake the easiest and get away with it. And Susie thinks of the best possible answer. We learn some tips on retaining memories and why we need to be intentional about it these days. We discuss the sleep deficit a lot of people have, the reasons for it, and why we might've been misled by some "experts." Plus, we hear why TikTok is affecting our attention spans and our brains and thinking more generally.

Patricia Douglas was a young dancer and an extra working in Hollywood during its so-called Golden Era when she was tricked into attending a party Tinseltown's most powerful studio, MGM, was throwing for the salesmen who were making it rich on May 5th, 1937. At this party, she was dragged into the parking lot and brutally raped by one on of those salesmen. The studio would bury her assault... but decades later her truth would finally come to light and help lead to much needed change in the movie industry.  For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com

We're obsessing about teeth today (more than usual)! Hear why Susie thinks she got confirmation that wisdom teeth removal is done too frequently, and why she and Gen Z finally have something in common. We discuss the viral accusation of "Gen Z stare," and theorize why it's happening. We learn about a study done on persuasion that made a bunch of people furious on Reddit. We get an update on the Grandma Scam that Susie experienced a few years ago. We talk about "mind blanking," and find out who is more likely to go into this unconscious state, what the brain is doing when we are thoughtless, and why it happens. And let's just say we have some idea of which gender this happens to more frequently. Plus, we hear about a woman who does the work of the Tooth Fairy, and we decide the whole ritual is just a byproduct of capitalism and consumerism.13:52 - The "Gen Z Stare" is is what many people are labeling this blank look of confusion.21:33 - Could an AI chatbot change your mind?

Sarah went camping with her family and it was predictably calamitous in the best way possible. We hear why kids don't ride bikes anymore, parents are chauffeurs, and why it matters. We talk about how much camp meant to Sarah growing up and then as a counselor, and we lament that tragedy in Texas at the Christian camp. Sarah explains why customer service is so bad now, why you shouldn't accept it, and what you can do about it. Plus, she describes a genius way we can band together and combat the "sludge" of customer service quagmires.0:29 - Sarah's planning something romantic.5:12 - The Rice family's calamitous camping trip.16:51 - Article: Kids are missing out on things we used to do all the time. 28:58 - Wes Bergmann told Sarah....30:42 - Susie and Sarah discuss the tragic Texas floods. 38:13 - They do it on purpose!

We discuss the phrase "honk if you're horny," and debate whether you're actually supposed to honk or not. Sarah talks about "mushroom coffins," which claim to decompose human body in 45 days as compared to 30 years or more using other methods. We discuss cities that are overrun with tourists and the anger it provokes among residents, and we debate whether it's being handled properly, the reasons it's happening, and why Susie thinks it's not fair to people who want to travel. We learn about the Enhanced Games, which are similar to the Olympics, but allow--and encourage!--any and all performance enhancing substances, and incentivize record-breaking with cash prizes.

In this episode, Sean and Lexi dive into the best movies of the 21st century, both in general and within the horror genre. The discussion includes both their own top 10 lists and excerpts from the New York Times's top 100 list, sparking debates, laughter, and a few surprises. From mainstream hits like 'Mad Max: Fury Road' and 'Inglorious Basterds' to cult favorites like 'The Guest' and 'I Saw The Devil,' they cover a range of films that have impacted the cinematic landscape over the past two decades. Along the way, they touch on movies that made a cultural impact, personal favorites, and even a few controversial picks.  00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:44 Discussing the New York Times' 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century 01:42 Creating Personal Top 10 Lists 03:52 Debating Movie Rankings and Criteria 06:11 Celebrity Ballots and Influences 07:30 Top 10 Horror Movies of the 21st Century 51:17 Honorable Mentions and Final Thoughts 55:52 Debating Horror Movie Directors 56:29 Patrick Wilson's Horror Legacy 58:41 Vincent Price and Modern Horror Icons 59:38 Top Horror Movies and Their Impact 01:02:21 Discussing Favorite Movies 01:20:35 Tarantino's Best Films 01:39:11 Top 25 Movies of the Last 25 Years 01:45:34 Closing Remarks and Upcoming Content Learn more about your ad choices.

3:18 - Today's Topic Breakdown - It's a Documentary Roundup on today's show, with Sooz Reviews of the My Mom Jayne, the latest installment of Trainwreck (Poop Cruise! Oh my!), and Sally Ride. We learn how Jayne Mansfield was a victim of a Hollywood system that objectifies women and society's decision to put women, especially beautiful women, into a very small box, and the ways secrets can tear families apart. We discuss the cruise that lost power and became a floating toilet in short order, and our theories about why the passengers got along and left with pretty good memories anyway. We talk about astronaut and badass bitch Sally Ride, and how the very reasons she became a trailblazer also made her hard to get to know and somewhat unlikable. Plus, we hear about the "birthday effect" where people are more likely to die on their birthdays, and we learn whether it's actually true or an illusion, and if it's true, why that might be.3:18 - Episode Table Of Contents7:34 - Susie and Sarah on the field at the Pirates game11:06 - Our favorite makeup ever13:40 - Jayne Mansfield Documentary23:40 - Poop Cruise Documentary36:06 - Our favorite comfy athlege clothes.38:06 - Sally Ride Documentary46:45 - The Birthday Effect57:20 - Share your comments about the Birthday Effect.Comment on Spotify, and on YouTubeConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Visit https://shopbeam.com/BRAINCANDY and use code BRAINCANDY to get our exclusive discount of up to 35% off.New customers can get the Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara and a mini-sized Brilliant Eye Brightener at a special set price with free shipping at https://thrivecausemetics.com/BRAINCANDYSave 20% Off Honeylove by going to https://www.honeylove.com/BRAINCANDY #honeylovepodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Susie's mom has been ill, and now she's on the mend, but she seems to have a bigger problem on her hands--namely an infestation of raccoons INSIDE her house. We talk about the doofus who sat his buns down on a Swaroski crystal chair at a museum and destroyed it. We discuss Barbara Walters, her ambition, and why she was kind of a jerk to women despite being a trailblazer at the same time. We debate whether we should start a "chichi chat," and why showing your body off to other women can be empowering. We hear about the lifelike dolls in Brazil that are making people mad, and how the women who collect (and play with) them are mocked, yet no one thinks its weird that men have similarly infantile and strange hobbies. And Susie lists several women who might be getting lots of credit for their business acumen when really their men are pulling the strings behind the scenes.3:06 - Peg's Raccoon Invasion8:17 - Identifying poop in the wild11:30 - Moron who sat on museum chair15:33 - reviewing the chari break video21:35 - If you like camping or have an RV, you should do this.23:39 - Barbara Walters Documentary "Tell Me Everything"27:50 - F**k you Barbara, and F**k you Ellen.29:53 - Hundreds of women meet for an online topless video "ChiChi" chat.

Susie has another new enemy this week and this time it's conflicting with her passion for oral hygiene. Sarah had to so sly vigilante justice this weekend when she saw some old creepers leering at women at the club. We discuss the Astroworld concert tragedy where ten people were crushed to death due to a lack of crowd control, poor planning, and too many people in the audience. We learn about the "right to repair" movement and how companies are being forced to provide information and parts to consumers who want to fix rather than replace their products.

In this episode, Lexi and Sean dive into two shark-themed movies: 'Shark Night 3D' and 'Bait 3D'. They discuss the bizarre yet intriguing elements of 'Shark Night 3D', including its eclectic cast, unexpected plot turns, and a strange post-credit rap video by the cast. They thoroughly dissect the movie's absurd moments and its place among shark movies. The conversation then shifts to 'Bait 3D', where the hosts discuss the unique premise of a tsunami trapping people in a grocery store with sharks. While they highlight the film's potential, they find faults in its execution, especially the overexposed cinematography, inconsistent acting, and of course the grocery cart shark defense suit. 00:00 Introduction to Hollywood Shark Month 00:25 Diving into 3D Shark Movies 00:57 28 Years Later: A Bone to Pick 07:42 Shark Night vs. Bait: A Deep Dive 08:47 Dangerous Animals: A New Contender 15:22 Shark Night: Cast and Characters 22:37 Shark Night: Plot and Villains 35:50 Shark Night: The Music Video Surprise 42:42 The Power of End Credit Songs 44:43 Shark Movie Rankings and Discussions 46:38 Bait 3D: A Deep Dive 01:02:49 The Absurdity of Shark Defense Suits 01:11:14 Trapped Movies: Hits and Misses 01:20:05 Final Thoughts and Announcements Learn more about your ad choices.

Susie gives a tribute to her beloved Brian Wilson.

Susie explains how Amelia's famous flight has disturbing similarities to the Titan submersible tragedy. We learn about a woman who donated her body to science, but ended up blown to bits by the military. We hear why a funeral home was sending people remains of the strangers instead of their loved ones.

Sarah tells us about a company that raised millions of dollars from investors posing as an AI tech company when really they had hundreds of people working behind the scenes manually performing tasks instead.

Prepareu el móbil i que la vostra gent truqui a la nostra gent, ja que Hollyweird ha tornat en una edició especial. Avui, en un d'aquests programes "fora de canon" em junto amb l'escriptor i amic de tota la vida Aitor Sánchez i ens posem a parlar d'una de les seves obsessions i ara, també de les meves, "Entourage", la sèrie de la HBO sobre un grup de col.legues a la industria de Hollywood. Testosterona a tope, el "Sexo en Nueva York" per homes de la costa oest. Fem un vol selectiu sobre les vuit temporades i la pel.lícula, parlant tant de les coses bones com les dolentes. I WANNA BE YOUR SUPERHERO NANANANANA i tota la pesca.

Hello Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today I covered S4E17: More About L.E.S., which aired on February 4, 1989. In this episode L.E.S. is back, and despite Ted's assurances that the rogue A.I. program has been rendered harmless, it comes back in a big way by possessing Vicki's body as its own. Honestly, this episode was a dud. I didn't care about L.E.S. when I first met him and I was pissed off that Ted didn't learn his lesson from the first time. We see this same thing happen in the next episode S4E18: Hooray For Hollyweird!, which aired on February 11, 1989. In this episode Ted's robot, Vanessa, wreaks havoc in Hollywood. This was the episode I was most looking forward to and I kind of wish we got more Vanessa. It was nice to see Tiffany Brissette, stretch her acting legs and speak normally when she has to do a robot voice 99% percent for of the show's run. This episode was over too quickly. S4E19: Minnesota Vicki, which aired on February 18, 1989. In this episode To land a new promotion with the boss, Mr. Jennings, Ted invites him to dinner and a playful game of pool until Jennings starts betting the shirt off his back, and a lot more, playing against Vicki. If we took out Brandon, this would have been a better episode, Ted's boss is a major dumb butt, he plays pool with Vicki and almost loses his house betting against her. We don't see Brandon get fired, I wish that would have happened, apparently this episode the writer's love to crap on Ted's character always vying for a promotion he will never get because Brandon is also vying for it. Also how many bosses does Ted have, between Brandon, Mr. Jennings's son and Mr. Jennings himself. Good grief! and an adorable episode S4E20: Vicki Doolittle, which aired on February 25, 1989. In this episode Ted installs a new language translation device (Random Access Multiple Concurrent Linguistic Analytical Sequencer) into Vicki that enables her to understand any language, including even animals', like the boss' dog; Mrs. Jennings forces Mr. Jennings to fire Ted when Joan balks at doing uncredited work for an affair. This was a cute episode and Mrs. Jennings gets her comeuppance, finally. I hope you enjoy the episodes and I'll see you in June for the final 4 of Season 4 and the final 4 of the Series as we wrap up this podcast finally, 6 years later.
