A Play On Nerds - Episode 241 - Screenplay Replay!

March 3, 2026

It's our first ever official "regular edition" of Screenplay Replay! We roll the dice to randomly choose a popular film from the last 50 years, make it a sequel, prequel, reimagining or remake, and then randomly cast it with the strangest picks you've ever seen. Then we have to improvise what will happen. You're not ready for this hilarious weirdness! Plus: UFO disclosure for real? Love is Blind season 10, and trailer review for Over Your Dead Body.
