  1. Body-swap comedies used to be about empathy, now they’re just self-aware gimmicks chasing relevance. From Trading Places to today’s overstuffed knockoffs, the “Freaky Friday flip” has lost its soul somewhere between high-concept messaging and lazy repetition.

  11. I watched this last night, hadn't seen it in years. I'd forgotten a few scenes that I'd not realised were in there since I was a kid going through... ahem... puberty.

    Might watch another 80's classic with #DanAkroyd tonight. #Dragnet
