What makes De Niro's performance so unpredictable, like a more deranged Daffy Duck? How do the character arcs of Sam Bowden differ between the two films given their respective actors? And how can the 1991 version push the boundaries of horror and suspense in ways that the original could only hint at?Also featured in this episode are diatribes about "Civilization 7", the correct amount of references to "The Simpsons", a love for Joe Don Baker, and a game that Jacob slapped together in an afternoon and forces Stuart to play.
