An evil fairy curses a princess to an eternal sleep, and only true love's kiss can awaken her. This week Invasion of the Remake enters the realm of fairy tales and fantasy with the Walt Disney classic Sleeping Beauty (1959) and Maleficent (2014) which explores Sleeping Beauty from the point of view of the mistress of evil herself, Maleficent.

Episode 216 Remaking The Black Hole (1979)
Invasion of the Remake takes the mothership to the outer edge of Walt Disney's The Black Hole (1979). Science fiction had taken off in a big way in the 70s & 80s thanks to Star Wars and Disney wanted a piece of that. Ultimately it proved easier just to buy Star Wars, but this attempt is still fondly remembered by sci-fi fans. Join us as we get sucked into The Black Hole and throw our own ideas at what a modern day remake might look like complete with our own fantasy casting.
Episode 217 Reefer Madness (1936) Vs Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical (2005)
It is a violent narcotic - an unspeakable scourge - The Real Public Enemy Number One! Reefer Madness (1936) was a fictional propaganda film warning against the consumption of marijuana and getting addicted may result in hysteria, insanity, and even death. It became a cult classic because of its hilarious camp, overacting, and obvious misinformation. It would be later adapted as a stage musical which became a large scale television film in 2005. Join IOTR this week as we catch a little Reefer Madness!
Episode 218 Remaking Trancers (1984)
Jack Deth has been sent back in time to protect the timelines of the leaders of the future from an evil man who can create a zombie army. This week we take a hard look at the grizzled cop, Jack Deth, in Charles Band's Trancers (1984) starring Tim Thomerson and Helen Hunt. Join Invasion of the Remake as we workshop new ideas for a possible remake, complete with fantasy casting, of Trancers!
Episode 219 Miracle on 34th Street (1947 Vs. 1994)
The Invaders travel to New York city and 34th Street to discover a miracle. Miracle on 34th Street (1947) is a Christmas classic and part of many people's traditional holiday watches. It won 3 Academy Awards with one for Edmund Gwenn as Kris Kringle. How does Richard Attenborough compare in the same roll in the 1994 remake? Join us as we compare both and explore what makes Miracle on 34th Street a Holiday classic.
Here's a bit of silliness from the weird folks at Invasion of the Remake. It's a story about a home invasion call to 9-1-1 during the holidays. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all our listeners and fellow Invaders!
