Torah Smash! The Podcast for Nerdy Jews
Episode 78 - New Games, Old Wisdom
In this episode, we dice into the world of reboots, remastering, and retelling, both in the sacred and the pixelated. Ethan begins by sharing his love for the remastered version of one of his favorite games, Star Wars: Dark Forces, and what changed in its recent rerelease. We discuss movie reboots, and why it’s sometimes okay for things to change. And while some properties struggle with an updated version, some things in life seem to only get better with each replay.
