Math Is Hard
“Phenomenal Woman” was written by Maya Angelou and originally published in an issue of Cosmopolitan magazine in 1978, and then in And Still I Rise, her third volume of collected poetry, later that same year. Dr. Mica Mitchell tells of how this poem helped shape her as a girl moving into womanhood and continues to inspire her today.
It seems we need reminders from time to time about what deserves our limited time and energy. Dr. Craig Bowrun reads “Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front,” by Wendell Berry, to help remind us to whom or what we should devote ourselves.
He’s got an additional skill set of horribleness and the best eyebrows in the biz. – Jer An epic sci-fi novel. A classic struggle of good versus evil, of the oppressed versus the powerful, of nature versus humanity, of David Lynch versus the studios. We give you Dune! Or, at least, our remake of the […]
It is that time of year again, when we talk about some of the talented performers and creators we lost in the past year. From The Wire to The Golden Girls to The Sound of Music to Saturday Night Live to Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song to Superman to Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? to The Monkees to Saved By the Bell to Arrested Development, nary a genre was left untouched. Join us, won’t you, […]
Here at Remaker’s Mark, we like to make our opinions known. We like to banter and volley. We like to recommend. And this time, we recommend so hard. Four fifths of the RM crew bombard you with suggestion after exhortation after counsel until you fall to your knees, drowning in new things to bring into […]
All of a sudden, whoa…there’s Beastman Once upon a time, there was a movie that told a story. A story of a rather dumb truck driver and his much more capable friend and their search for love, truth, and not-dying in the underworld of Chinatown. It was beloved by many, but not all. Today, dear […]
Gracie Law is a lawyer, because in 1986, your surname was your profession, as in olden tymes. – Andy A first-listing marquee star who is really a second-fiddle. A third- or fourth-listing actor who really steals the show. Knee-high buckskin cowboy boots with tassels. A floating blob like a Garbage Pail Kids version of a […]
Betty White is the rightest wrong answer It’s Opposite Day! Instead of doing what we normally do (make super impressive recasting choices that shine lights of revelation and insight on to the cinematic world), today we chose the road less traveled. And it has made all the difference. Buckle up for our Wrong Answers Only rendition […]
I was afraid the motorcycles were going to tip over they were going so slow Dudes and duderinos. We conclude our trip through the drug-addled existence that is Easy Rider, and, man, what a ride. Main characters as mannequins, the last act being inspiration for Deliverance, and how, had not Kyle had the kindness in […]
If Wyatt is the nucleus of the atom, Billy is the electron buzzing around it Sometimes you wanna just score big so you can check out, visit a commune, see Mardi Gras, you know, live the good life. Sometimes you do just that, and it ain’t so good. We take on Easy Rider, the most-counter-culturin’, […]
How do you define love? How do you describe it to someone else? Mark Joesting reads an excerpt from Søren Kierkegaard’s Works of Love to do just that. Some of Mark’s work can be found here. It’s wicked good.
It seems like [Eddie] meant to recruit bounty hunters but instead got professional wrestlers. Good news, bad news. Good news: we got to record this one in person! For the first time in years! And it was great! Bad news: this movie didn’t make any more sense to us. Good news: it didn’t matter because […]
What do you get when you cross kung fu, angry arcade owners, football shoulder pad-wearing shoguns, Motown, super awkward romantic interests, and DeBarge? A bowl of the goulash that is The Last Dragon.
Remaker’s Mark makes its triumphant return from summer break by trying to solve the age-old mystery of how this movie wasn’t a hit. I mean, it’s got it all! What could have possibly gone wrong? Never fear, we’re here to fix all that.
