What's new?

Another fine episode of TOTAL CASTING RECALL that's what!

Strange Days be the film!

Directed by: Katheryn Bigelow

Stars that appear in the film with non-stars. You choose has the star power. Word of caution: Choose wisely.

Here's the names:

Ralph Fiennes, Angela Bassett, Juliette Lewis, Tom Sizemore and Vincent D'Onofrio.

One of the writers was the guy who wrote the big, big movie about the big sinking boat.

Strange Days is about an enterprising entrepreneur who lives in a violent America in the future: 1999!?

What?

That don't make no sense.

That's because it was made in 1995, silly!

Prepared to be shocked- because in this future US of the A there's no internet!!

What they got right: Ultra-violence all the way from the common man all the way to the top head honcho POTUS and military joens driving around any old doing shoot em ups all harem scarum!!

So it was up to Chris and Lee to make sense of this gobbledegook and re-cast the heck out of it!

Listen in and decide if you agree or disagree with their recasting choices.

The suspense is killing something or someone.

Probably

Thanks for listening and have a Jim Dandy day!

Life... is full of lessons.

Lessons are full of life.

Only If they are wielded with an iron fist.

What is love without truth?

If there is no truth, how can you be love?

This week, we (Lee and Chris) recast the hit movie written by Quentin Tarantino called….

True Romance

Where Romance is true.

And truth become romances.

You need to know nothing more.

Directed by Tony Scott

The Stars, not necessarily in order, Brad Pitt, Bronson Pinchot, Michael Rappaport, Christian Slater, Patricia. Arquette, Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken and many other actors from Hollywood.

It’s the story of two young actors in a movie along with other actors with lots of violence, course language, and side splitting laughs. Plus stunts. With big sounds.

You won’t want to miss this one!

Listen to this one.

Before it listens to you…

Sincerely,

Heyyyy TCR listeners!!

Remember LPs?

Remember Employee Picks?

Phonograph needles?

Remember 45 RPMs?

Remember the 5th of November?

I sure don't.

But this week Lee and Chris are going to recast a movie called:

High Fidelity which is about a morose manager of a record store based on a British book of the same name by Nick Hornby and then re-tooled by them Star Spangler's Yanks into a movie show.

It was directed by: Stephen Freers

And stars: John Cusack, Jack Black and others.

Yes, we recast...movies in this podcast...

However-

It's not because the original movie makers didn't do a good job the first time around but because we are oftentimes unfocused and not really committed to this podcast format. If that sentence doesn't make sense...

You are correct.

We do try, though.

WARNING: LEE DIGRESSES SO MUCH THAT THE LISTENER WILL OFTEN FORGET NOT ONLY THE PODCAST FORMAT... THEY MIGHT ALSO INFLUENCED TO HAVE CRAZY DREAMS AFTER LISTENING, POSSIBLY.

LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED.

Sincerely,

Life.

What does it mean?

What does anything mean?

Who am I?

Where am I?

Some things are hard to put your finger on. They might even be called untouchable.

And this weeks episode is about a move called:

The Untouchables

Spoiler alart: There is in fact, a lot of touching in this film

Perhaps too much for some.

If...

they are afraid to be touched by a Hollywood cinematic extravaganza.

This week, Chris and Lee decide to re-touch The Untouchables with some out of this world casting ideas.

Directed by:Brian de Palma

Actors are: Kevin Costner. Robert De Niro, Andy Garcia, Sean Connery and other fine humans.

So if you're into shiny, quasi-historical melodrama action packed action

You got it!

In life, there are many times when we are told to STOP!

Sometimes we don't stop when we should just Go.

Ponder on that for a minute or two...

Just kidding.

Don't ever think unless; it's the only thing you can do.

Why?

'Cause it's boring and quiet.

Mostly.

This episode probably could have won the Academy award for having a short title. There should be a category for that, right?

Hells yeah, there should.

Go is the name of the movie this week that Kris and Li attempt to dismantle the cast and retrofit with new honest-to-gosh actors. Most are still living and actor-ing as well.

isn't what these two do dangerous?

Yeah, it is.

Which is why only a few hundred other podcasts do this or as a segment of their take on movie B.S. (big showbiz) recasting.

Is it hard to do?

Mostly not. But why ask why?

Directed by: Doug Liman

Go stars: Katy Holmes, Sarah Polley, Timothy Oliphant, Scott Wolf and Jay Mohr

So, go listen to this episode of Go

Make sure that you don't have to go before you listen to Go because you won't want go during your listening of Go.

Go now!

Rock on,

Let the romance begin...

You probably heard of Raiders of the Lost Ark. If you're lucky, you might have even seen it.

If you have OR even if you haven't, today is your lucky day.

Lee and Chris re-cast this classic film from George Lucas.

Directed by Steven Spielberg

It stars Harrison Ford. And a cacophony of other fine actors rounding out the cast.

Therefore they shall be dismissed by Chris ahd Lee because they think their big shot opinions are very impressive.

Newsflash. They are.... Not!!
