Recovered
Welcome to Recovered, where Dan and Keith dig into all films remade, rebooted, and redone. They say there are no new stories under the sun, and Hollywood's been taking that as an excuse to tell the same stories over and over since the silent era, so we dig into which movies warranted a remake, which remakes improved on the original, and how very often neither of those things are true.

Episode 52: Disney's Haunted Mansions
Keep your arms and legs inside your Doom Buggy and avoid flash photography, because Dan and Keith are delving into the Haunted Mansions! First, back in 2003, at the tail end of Disney's attempts to make hit movies out of their theme park attractions, Eddie Murphy brings... comedy, question mark?... to an adventure through the Gracie Mansion. Then, two full decades later, as Disney gives theme park movies another spin, a star-studded cast battles a baffingly cast Hatbox Ghost for the fate of the world, and increased hijinks. Which of these had the best blend of laughs, thrills, and easter eggs to the ride? Or is there a third contender Disney barely tried to tell you about? Listen in and find out!
