    It's just Rebecca and Scott this week because Frank's head was full of juices. Since it's Thanksgiving time, we rebooted the first Thanksgiving-related movie that Rebecca could think of: You've Got Mail! It's only barely related to Thanksgiving too, I think it just takes place around…

  24. Episode 123: Titanic

    This week we reboot the former highest-grossing movie of all time, Titanic! Now it's a teen road trip movie about terraforming Mars! Please forgive Rebecca's audio issues, she used the wrong mic. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  25. Goose Game: A Rebootleggers Experiment

    Scott and Rebecca recorded themselves playing Untitled Goose Game (Rebecca played, Scott watched), but the video didn't record correctly.

  29. Episode 119: The Social Network

  30. Episode 118: Hamlet

    This week we're joined by special guest Sarah Everett, and we reboot Hamlet!

See acast.com/privacy...

  31. Episode 117: Sailor Moon

    This week we reboot Sailor Moon by asking the obvious: what if the Sailor Scouts were actual sailors? In other big news, Rebootleggers is now part of the Hello Sweetie Podcast Network! They're a great little network with a bunch of other fun shows, so go check them out! Hosted on Acast. See...

  36. Episode 112: Ronald: A Star Wars Story

  37. Episode 111: Limitless

    This week we're rebooting Limitless, the movie that Bradley Cooper did while he was still just "That Guy from The Hangover!" The original movie only dealt with breaking the limits of the mind, so our reboot asks, "what other limits can we break with a magic pill?" Hosted on Acast. See...

  38. Episode 110: Postal (feat. Brock Wilbur!)

  40. Episode 108: Bio-Dome

Hosted on Acast....

  44. Episode 104: The Mummy

    This week we reboot The Mummy! The 1999 one with America's sweetheart, Brendan Fraser. Not the 1932 one with Boris Karloff. We bring it into the modern and marvel over the fact that no one has thought to do this yet! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
