Our Patrons voted recently on what film remake they’d like to hear more about so Alex and Jonathan get into the weird world of Roger Corman’s sci-fi classic The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) and Frank Oz’s musical remake Little Shop of Horrors (1986). We talk about the way Roger Corman mixes comedy and horror to create a successful b-movie, how a story changes with the addition of music, and how adaptation can breathe new life into otherwise forgotten media.
