The Mothership: Remakes we actually want to see

From the upcoming Point Break to this weekend's disastrous Transporter, the remake/reboot is a huge part of Hollywood right now. And while some things are sacred and should never be remade, there are a few movies and TV shows where it might actually work.

In this week's episode of The Mothership podcast, USA TODAY's Kelly Lawler (@klawls), Brett Molina (@brettmolina23) and Brian Truitt (@briantruitt) pick the movies and shows we want to see get another chance onscreen, from Tomb Raider to Green Lantern to The Golden Compass to Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century.

For our Nerd Alert segment we discuss the best of Force Friday, the event unveiling all the new toys and merchandise from the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens, including a functioning little droid.
