We’ve been talking about music in our confessionals the last few weeks and we just started a film remake series on the show (check out this week’s ep covering the original PLANET OF THE APES and the Tim Burton remake). We thought it would be fun to talk about our personal favorite cover versions of songs and tie those two themes together. Click the links below to check out the videos on YouTube and let us know your favorite covers, too!
