The Parent Trap (1961 and 1998) Recap - The Oz Network Movies
from The Oz Network - TV & Film Recaps · host Colin Hilding & Jamie Hilding
We're back for another original/remake recap as we talk about the 1961 The Parent Trap and the 1998 remake. Why are the parents in both versions such awful human beings? Is the new one literally a scene for scene, line for line remake? What elements of the twin performances is Hayley Mills better at and what is Lindsay Lohan better at? Why is it so hard to believe Dennis Quaid struggles with women? How amazing was the Priest as a character, and why is he missing from the remake? Why is bickering among the parents the key to which version is better? Did we really need the servants to fall in love? And seriously, what is with that terrible fencing scene in 1998 that makes Die Another Day look so much more brilliant? Grab your favourite kid (ignoring any others you have of course) and tune into our recap for this week. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
