Dan, Manny, & Billy talk all about Hollywood's obsession with reboots, reimagines & remakes, and they put some of the upcoming re's to the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST!  "What is each person's definition of what a reboot is, what a reimagine is, and what a piece of shit is.” -Manny Coelho Dear God! The boys get into the depths of the reboot craze and try to figure out the differences between reboots and remakes. They try to create some parameters and definitions and put to the ultimate test upcoming & already existing reboots, remakes, and reimagines like the Batman franchise, the new Superman, the Anaconda reboot, Naked Gun, and Starship Troopers,(Oh My!).
