Welcome! Curious as to whether the old is truly better than the new? Struggling whether to watch the original or the remake? Check out my new podcast, Contemporary or Classic? Here, I will choose two films of similar caliber, one old and one new, and dissect the comparisons and differences of them. Through the exploration of themes, tone, effects, score, and overall final product, I will find out which of the two is better, contemporary or classic!
