Two teams compete to present a remake of a terrible movie based on four criteria: Pitch, Cast, Director/Writer and Marketing. This contest features my pal, Brian E. Lau, and I versus Jason and Max from the 3 Geeks Podcast in this competition. Our movie that we are to remake is none other than the awful Howard the Duck. Will we win or will we run afoul?
