Chug the egg nog and harass the homeowner’s association, it’s time to celebrate the holidays with a silly indie film that demands to speak to your manager.

Welcome to Lights, Camera, Remake, where we try to determine whether Hollywood has truly run out of ideas. Some of those ideas have been remade literally a hundred times.

About 35 and counting if we’re just talking cinematic adaptations.

That’s right, we’re covering a Christmas Carol adaption, but this one is a lot saucier and involves a Scrooged-like delivery in sunny Celebration, Florida.

A Christmas Karen (2022)

IMDB Description: Karen is an entitled middle-aged woman whose demanding nature has alienated her neighbors and family. After a series of instances displaying her privilege and prejudice, she receives an "intervention" by some unconventional spirits.

***

On each episode we’ll look at a movie and its remake, or sometimes a movie and its sequel, to determine if Hollywood rehashed it for a reason or for a cash grab.

Let’s get freaky! In celebration of a sequel that has come 20 years later, we’re looking at the first two adaptations of Freaky Friday.

Welcome to Lights, Camera, Remake, where we try to determine whether Hollywood has truly run out of ideas. Sometimes that means doing body switch movies. Over. and over. And over again!

Another split episode because we talked too long. Freaky Friday (2003) is coming next episode!

Freaky Friday (1976)

IMDB Description: A mother and daughter find their personalities switched and have to live each other's lives on one strange Friday.
