On this week's edition of A Bit Of Culture, we delve into ideas that are rebooted and remade, be it good or bad. Kam starts off by posing an age-old question to our culture vultures - is the book usually better than the movie? Sharmilla discusses the fascination with unicorns in culture and finally Uma waxes lyrical on the new interpretations of classic works and why a re-imagination could be good for oldies-but-goodies.
