250: UHF Seeks a Total Recall Redemption

It's a very special episode of Double Edged Double Bill! To celebrate 250 episodes, Thomas welcomes Adam back from his sabbatical with the annual tradition of Redemption! Yes, given every episode has two good & two bad picks to choose from, one pairing goes on and another gets left in the dust. So, every year two films tossed to the side are given a second chance via redemption! First, a beloved sci-fi action film gets a remake that most forgot existed with the 2012 version of Total Recall! Then, Weird Al Yankovic attempts to get weird on the big screen via a story of the small screen in UHF! Together, our duo answer the crucial questions. Why does Weird Al have such longevity? Who would want to live the life of handsome schlub Colin Farrell? Which two films will they choose for next week's episode about Laurence Fishburne? Well, recall which frequency to tune to so you can listen to find out!   Subscribe to our Patreon for $1 a month to get bonus podcasts & polls to choose episode topics and films we cover! Follow the show on social media (Instagram, Twitter & Facebook) via @dedbpod! Send feedback to [email protected]!
