minus-squareBroBot9000@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·8 months agoOh gosh. Freaking classics. Imagine if they made those today. Like not another remake or sequel but like actually made them nowadays. Or Wayne’s World? I just don’t see it happening without it falling completely flat due to executives being tone deaf shills.
