Episode 352 Remaking The Quest (1986, AKA Frog Dreaming, AKA The Go-Kids)
A resourceful American boy living in Australia discovers an Aboriginal legend of a monster living in a pond and embarks on an adventure to prove its existence. This week Invasion of the Remake goes in search of the mythical Bunyip in The Quest (1986, aka Frog Dreaming) for a fan challenge to re-imagine the fantasy, adventure film for a whole new generation.
Episode 353 A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1931, 1949, & 1989) Vs. Unidentified Flying Oddball (1979)
A resourceful man (spaceman or child) find themselves back in time in Camelot after a bump to the head in Mark Twain's timeless classic, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. This classic tale has had numerous adaptations throughout cinematic history beginning in 1921 carrying forward in cinema and on television throughout the decades. We can't possibly watch them all but we present to you four different versions on the IOTR round table.
Episode 354 Remaking Black Knight (2001)
A theme park employee considers jumping ship to the competition when an accident sends him backwards in time where he becomes the Black Knight (2001). Martin Lawrence stars in this fish-out-of-water comedy in which he must dig deep to find some things are worth fighting for. Join IOTR for another fan challenge to rethink, recast and remake Black Knight for a new generation.
Episode 355 District B13 (2004) vs Brick Mansions (2014)
A cop must go undercover and team up with a convict to go into a restricted area of the city to shut down a nuclear bomb that is being controlled by an evil crime lord that rules the district. Trish and J are bouncing off the walls to talk about the free running film District B13 (2004) which stars parkour founder David Belle and its remake Brick Mansions (2014), the last completed film of Paul Walker.
Episode 356 Remaking Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone (1983)
On a distant planet inhabited by mutants and scavengers, Wolff must rescue three female captives from Earth from the evil Overdog in Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone (1983). This week the Invaders venture into the Forbidden Zone with their own unique brand of storytelling to remake this cult science fiction gem complete with fantasy casting.
Episode 357 Top Gun (1986) Vs. Fire Birds (1990) Vs. Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
The Invaders enter the danger zone as we take to the skies and compare the Tom Cruise classic Top Gun (1986) to what some call "Top Gun with helicopters", Fire Birds (1990) starring Nicolas Cage, and then we loop back around to the mega hit Top Gun: Maverick (2022). It's a triple film dog fight on this week's Invasion of the Remake.
Episode 358 Remaking Doc Savage: Man of Bronze (1975)
He's an adventurer and a hero with a keen mind that no criminal can defeat, he is Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze (1975). Based on the pulp novel and comic book character from 1933, Doc Savage jumps off the page with rippling muscles, bronzed skin and ripped shirts in a camp adventure that is so weird and bizarre that the Invaders couldn't resist trying to remake it in this week's episode.

Episode 359 Pinocchio (1940 vs 2022)
When you wish upon a star you think of the classic animated film Pinocchio (1940). This week Invasion of the Remake compares the original to the 2022 Disney remake in a whale of an episode. We take the strings off this conversation in a puppet battle of epic proportions!
Episode 360 Remaking Spookies with guest Ryan L Terry
This week the Invaders are joined by author & film critic Ryan L. Terry to talk about the cult, horror film Spookies (1986).
