Episode Details

While Body Swap December might be over, there's still one loose end to tie up with a remake of a remake of a remake: Freaky Friday. Starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis as daughter and mother, the two get body swapped by outside forces and must figure out how to switch back before it becomes permanent. It's the most basic of basic body swap movies and one that suffers due to how generic it is. Host of We Played This Tim Henton joins Chris to talk about the film, Disney's love of remakes, and what the film gets right.
