Once More With Feeling is a podcast hosted by Mariana and screenwriter Gus Schiff, where they watch movie remakes, the originals they’re based on, and compare the two.

The aphorism is that the remake is always worse. That’s often true, but there’s always something to discover in the details—underexplored cultural and historical moments, insight into the Kafkaesque behavior of corporate film machinations, and evergreen lessons on how to succeed and fail at storytelling.

Gus and Mariana are currently in the middle of their first season, “Once More Upon A Time,” all about live-action Disney remakes. Have a listen!
