In this episode of They Remade It, Stuart and Jacob go through yet another musical as they're looking at two takes on Victor Hugo's classic novel. One of them isn't even a musical, huh?! Yes, similarly to previous topic "The Phantom of the Opera", there are non-musical versions that have been eclipsed by the ones with songs. How do things hold up? Is the story better to watch when people aren't belting out tunes? How is Liam Neeson against Hugh Jackman? And is Russell Crow's singing really that bad?Also in this episode are thoughts on recent films like "Hoppers" and "Project Hail Mary", talks about the struggles of adapting classic literature that neither of them have read, musical analysis from non-professionals, and "The Man in the Iron Mask" on Broadway?! All this and more on They Remade It!Plot Synopsis Timestamps: 25:50 - 33:14----------Socials----------@theyremadeit.bsky.social on Blueskytheyremadeit@gmail.com
