Total Casting Recall

When in the course of events, especially the special events. Like limited special offers or while supplies last; types of events. I left out human events. Or other species as well. No one should be left out of this. Even non-living things like rocks or clouds. Or leaves. If they're dead, of course and like, bones of dead people. Because I've already included bones still inside people that are alive because that counts as living. Right? So, basically all things living or non-living should pay attention here... I just thought of anti-matter. Anything that is anti-matter this event will be also significant to all anti-matter.  Instead of 'event' let's go with big deal. When in the course of big deals, there comes a podcast so courageous, so captivating, so senses shattering, so over the top and will make you want to take a big dump. It is a big deal.  Have you said 'hello' to someone today?  Why not? So the next time you see someone, go ahead, say hello. You'll be glad you did. Anyway this week's podcast is a big deal because I said so.  Armed and Dangerous is a comedy that stars John Candy and Eugene Levy and lots of other funny people in it. Lee and Chris recast the hell out of this one so listen up and real good because it's going to be a big deal in my opinion. Enjoy this big deal episode, Father Tom Chloroplast (retired) A CERTIFIED TCR FAN  

Are you lonely? Do you find yourself unwelcome at restaurants? Have you ever been chased out of one by strange people with swords? And were some of those weapons fashioned out of biodegradable plastic?  Well, if you can say 'yes' to any of these questions, this podcast is for you... (Insert prayer here) Good afternoon, good day, good night, good evening, and happy days ahead wherever you are on this big blue marble (Earth) as we all wind our way though the madhouse called life because YOU are in for a treat. CASINO!   You've probably heard of casinos. Well, Martin Scorsese made a DIY feature film on how to run one. It stars Robert DeNiro, Joseph Pesci and Sharon Stone. This epic story takes place around the epic city that capitalized on the unstoppable epic addiction of gambling. Long before Crypto or Fanduel there was Vegas. Hooray for Chris and Lee as they attempt to improve on this classic of American cinema by replacing the actors that made it work with different ones. Sounds fun right? You be the judge and jury and the bailiff and the court reporter. Or why not be the courtroom sketch artist?  Give it a try! Also give it a listen- It's like a honeycomb for your ears. Sincerely, Oliver Wendall Holmes (age 217)    

Hello fearless listeners, Q: Is your heaven blue? A: If not, this film should do the trick. Hi. I'm one of the Top Officials here at Total Casting Recall. There's two of us. Both named Top. Although my, what I like to call, doppelgänger goes by the handle Topper. Last name is the same for me and him: Officials. Weird.  Q: Do you ever find yourself watching a movie and wondering how to re-cast it, in your mind? A: If you do. You've just landed on Total Casting Recall! Your journey begins as you slide into the sonic meanderings of two professional podcasters doing what they do best. Possibly... Hey. Have you seen MY BLUE HEAVEN?  If you haven't, don't blame yourself.... Rejoice! Because before you do you'll want heed the information laid out in this program. MY BLUE HEAVEN stars Steve Martin, Rick Moranis and other funny folks. This movie will make you question everything you know. Or it will at least make you question everything Chris and Lee know. This is what we call in science a win-win. SPOILER ALERT: Heaven does NOT appear in this movie. Toodles, Mr. Top Official.(esq.)    

There comes a time when a new season must burst forth.... Here at TOTAL CASTING RECALL, Now is not the time. But we said, NO! IT IS ABOUT TIME. If you have enjoyed reading these or just enjoy reading, then by all means, please continue to do so.  This week, we've switched it up. This one is a drama, it's a sci-fi, and it's not supposed to be a comedy.  It's Escape From New York directed by John Carpenter. It stars: Kurt 'Godzilla' Russell as Snake Plissken, Lee Van Cleef, Harry Dean Stanton, Issac 'South Park' Hayes, Ernest 'Dutch Oven' Borgnine, Donald 'Duck Dunn' Pleasence and Adrienne Barbeau. Great cast? You bet. This week, just like always, let's dismantle it. You got time? So do we. Christ and Leet do their own special damage to the fine cast in this film and reimagine it. A long time ago, people walked inside their movie theaters and witnessed a film. Probably. I don't know. Use your own judgment. What they saw was shocking. I'll bet. It's pretty for certain.  I could be wrong. What are YOU going to do about it? That's what I thought. Dummies.  Anyway. They COULD HAVE seen something so bold as this movie. Long before Escape Rooms. Long before Dreamland Exotic Escape Vacation Getaways. Long before Journey's "Escape" album. Or maybe not.... There was: EXCAPE FROM NEW YORK.   Which was a knockoff. Forget that one,  so we'll instead talk about Escape From New York. A dystopian (bad) bummer look at the future of 'Aye-merica. So crank up your sound systems, or crank up your smart devices or air-pods whatever, because it's a free world. Most of it. For a little while longer. Synchronize your watches! And sit back and listen to the uplifting dulcet tones of two wanna-be film snobs break it down. Peace, Charter TCR Member, 'Marvin"    

Chris and Lee your (and our) co-hosts serve up another hot one! SO, I MARRIED AN AXE MURDERER... but it's not what you're thinking. Or it could be. I don't know, okay?! Fine... So what you are probably thinking is- that we get to see some Axes get what's coming to them, which means some axes get killed. Nope. Nor is this a movie about some kick-ass guitar solos. That get married. Nope.   Spoiler alert: it's a movie starring Mike Myers. A Canadian who can usually make with the funny, but not in this here flick. He takes a breather and tests your patience real hard.   No Dana Carvey. No Dana Andrews. No Bill Dana. And so on and so forth. So sit back or stand right up as Chris and Lee try their darnedest to re-cast this one and do their own brand of re-casting sorcery as they re-cast it, and re-cast it.   And then they have a chuckle at your expense. Or chortle. Or maybe not. But thank your lucky stars because you'll need 'em like never before. Whatever that means. Toodles, The Totalitarian Castaway Recalcitrants 

It's Chris. It's Lee. It's a Podcast. It's got sound... It's TOTAL CASTING RECALL It's indescribable. It's incorrigible. It's irreverent. It's in- your- face-crazy. There are literally trillions of podcasts about re-casting. That includes not just Earth or the Milky Way or even the Local Group. Of course! There are extra- terrestrial podcasts. They've been doing this for millions of years. Because those guys are smart!! Even long ago. So you can stop it, right now! I don't even know who I'm arguing with at this point. That's how passionate I am about TOTAL CASTING RECALL. Also I'm passionate about Tommy Boy.  Not even a sequel to Tommy, the movie by The Who. Nope. Its a completely original American comedy classic starring Chris Farley and David Spade These 2 comedy Icons rip you a new one ithis time! Farley and Spade gave us the inspiration. Thank You, Chris Farley and David Spade. We owe you one. Special Note to David Spade.  If I ever see you around, I will give you a free sticker. Til then, good luck to you, Mr. Spade. So maybe you'll see me and then you can collect your free sticker!! Godpeed, The TCR Dream Team

Hey Podcast Episode Description Readers of Earth! Are ready for this? You can now not only read these descriptions but you can also listen to the companion episode as well! And if you do, you might be pleased to hear what you're listening to. This episode features the hit film from last century. called Ace Venture: Pet Detective. I know what you're thinking: it sounds like a great novel or weapon BUT...  It's not. It's a madcap non-stop laugh riot of a comedy starring Jim Carrey who is also Canadian.   So... now you're asking yourself - what the heck is this movie about? It's about having a laugh... and NOT thinking at all about global nuclear destruction  -which is how things were done back in the day, bro. And today...as well...  Where was I? Oh yeah... This is some good reading, right?  Right?!/ Plot: The movie starts and you which it 'til it ends.  Onscreen: Jim plays a fella who opens up his subconscious and connects with animal consciousness and after the cameras stop he (MR. CARREY) goes home and collects a big paycheck and maybe he might have a sandwich. Or two.  Oh yeah, from what I was told, Christopher Lee re-casts this big movie anyway. So you get to listen to that because Jim Carrey didn't show up to the taping of this episode, plus he is not even aware 'we' did it in the first place, so it all worked out. Bam! Thanks for reading. I mean it, Disgruntled TCR Temp Worker who goes by "Gilroy'    

Hoo-ray!! It's our 30th Episode!! Thank you for listening to the first 29 episodes! And to those who haven't, this episode will make absolutely no sense whatsoever. Sorry! JUST KIDDING. None of the episodes make any sense. Even if you play them backwards... except the one episode that will tell you to run out and buy Led Zeppelin albums. Specifically, the box sets. NOW that that is out of the way.  On with the verbiage... Do YOU have an Uncle  Buck? Well, we do!  This week we (Chris and Lee) do some death defying casting and re-cast this classic. It’s Uncle Buck. Starring John Candy, Macaulay Culkin & Amy Madigan. Also included are other actors and crew people, mostly not seen on camera. It was writtena nd directed by John Hughes. It takes place in Cold America- possibly Chicago- in the late 1980s.  Plot: Somebody important dies and leaves the kids with another relative (who doesn't have kids) to take care of them. It was.a different time. It was a different century.  Spoiler Alert: IT TAKES PLACE ON EARTH. This episode is sure open your mind and rip it apart and thrust it into a different dimension through a portal or something! Possibly. Thanks for listening- if you dare... Sincerely, Ol' Farteblossem Spitoonski  (The TCR in-house innovator)  

You've heard of the Hudson Brothers, the Smith Brothers, the Smothers Brothers, and the Gargantuans. Or maybe there's a few of you left that haven't heard of them. But consider yourself very lucky, because now you have. Congratulations! What was I talking about?   Oh yeah...This week, we (Lee and Chris) take a stab a recasting the monumental The Blues Brothers film. Which starred Dan Akyroyd, John Belushi, and many, many others. Plus lots of background actors and lots of cars that get crashed. Way before GTA. In fact, it could have inspired auto accident themed video games to come later. Or maybe it's just me that thinks that. Pro tip: you should always think for yourself. For those not familiar with this movie, it's about how God himself takes on the layers of law enforcement of the entire state of Illinois and the city of Chicago, using two prototypes of the later crappier versions of the Men in Black. Big difference with these two: they have to jam the blues. Basically... Sorry, spoiled alerted already been done.  You'll thrill to the expert recasting choice makers this week as they blow your heels right off your freaking feet. As the music does in this classic film. Just like the staff here at TCR They were on a mission from God. But they were probably paid a lot more for there efforts. Keep on with the trucking, THE TCR BROTHERS( siblings)

What is Total Casting Recall? A lot of people are asking! And it just so happens that this is our monumental, deluxe, special EPISODE 28! And when I say a lot of people are asking, I mean, probably about 5 or 6. (This total was counted from memories in my personal encounters in my life).  And speaking of Life, why not enjoy yours? It's more fun than complaining and doom scrolling. With or without an actual scroll. I don't really care, because both are bad for you! In this one: Leef and Kris journey into the pre-goth, mad cap world of Heathers which features the hilarious acting stylings of Winona Ryder, the controversial subject of a Primus song, and Christian Slater of Christian Slater. It's about two crazy mixed up kids who themselves in a heap-o-trouble. Back in the olden days before the intra-net. Leee and Chriss put on their mad caps in this episode and re-cast the Charles Dickens out of this time honored, classic piece of cinematic comedy history. So, put them ear pod devices in/on or shock collars on and get ready to giggle your buns off! Invitingly, Sir Totally Recastingly Recallingsworth III 

Chris and Lee are back! And this time, it's the same. EXCEPT, IT'S NOT! But  enough of this rage baiting. Now that your blood has stopped boiling, let us continue... This we with dive/fall/repel into RAIZING ARIZONA. Not a zombie movie, nor is it a soul stirring, anti gravity movie in which entire state of Arizona is levitated against a backdrop of love and splendor. Nope, it's a garden variety kidnapped/bandit film that was created by the Fabulous Coen Brothers.  Besides it being a non-stop laugh riot and rip roaring centrifuge of fun- we noticed that it needed re-casting. Well, not because it needed it. It's got Nick Cage, Holly Hunter and bunch of other actors that will make you laugh, cry and make us feel a little better about ourselves. And if doesn't then you must face the fact that your problems lie much deeper.  So sit back, lean forward or continue jumping if you are a kinesthetic listener and immerse yourself into your own private celebration of sound waves and the art of listening with a difference. Happily Cautious, Total Recall Action Teamsters, Phase II  

At first sight, you might think that Chris and Lee are re-casting Klingon but in fact, this week they decided to re-cast Kingpin. It's a comedy from the Farelly brothers and stars Randy Quaid and Woody Harrelsen. Not William Shatner or Leonard Nimoy. Or Worf. So... Keep reading this, if you dare.  Do you want to make money? We all do. You might think to yourself, 'How do you do it?' I don't know. But if you send us cash I will then reveal 'The Secret' PRO TIP: Enter contests that offer free cash prizes  Like a bowling contest. Which is what happens in this filmed movie. What a coincidence! Bob Lazar does not believe in cooincidences. Or maybe he does. I don't know, I've never met him.  Back to the dangerous world of talking on podcasts that tackle the risky and controversial topic of recasting comedy movies. But I don't feel like talking about that. What have YOU  done lately? Perhaps  try to build something with Legos that expresses your feelings. Or, invite some friends over and have a competition wherein the winner is the person who can make the best pirate hat out of paper. Or throw around some axes. Or try pickleball. Or maybe spin art. Or don't. Please give. This has been a special message from the caring friends down at the TCR RANCH reminding you to have- Courage. The TCR Ranch hands  

Welcome! Not only to World of Total Casting Recall, but welcome to the world of Podcasts! But not only to that World but welcome also to the World of Sound! Not only that, Welcome to the World! And, Welcome to Earth! Unless you are an Earthling. Then, good to see you, fellow human. Whew, now that that is out of the way.... You've heard of Bull. You've probably heard of Durham.  This movie brings these two words and worlds together. Bull Durham is a movie made by mostly by humanoids for humanoids. IT'S GOT EVERYTHING: Minor league baseball players with odd beliefs/rituals/fetishes and a philosopher/sex therapist/with a strange southern accent and watch for the special Easter Egg: the character from Waterworld/Field 'o' Dreams. Both films equally funny comedies in their own right. Hint: it;s Kevin Costner. Also. look for Susan Serandon plus Tim Robbins. Extra Deluxe Special Challenge: listen for Chris and Lee's voices throughout this episode.  It's a full on re-casting breakdown!! Sincerely, Sin Cere Lee (TCR typist)  

Well, It's finally happened! You're now reading the stuff written specifically for this episode of Total Casting Recall. Congratulations! While you are congratulating yourself on this fine achievement, why not listen to this week's episode? Lee and Chris crack open another comedy movie from the past:  48 Hours. Not only is a math problem, it's a movie starring: Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte, meaning they do some acting in the film.  Not only that- Chris and Lee are up to it again with their shenanigans and tomfoolery and they up and re-cast the heck out of this one! Because they, not you, demanded it. So... Listen up and listen out and listen real good. You're very existence may lie/lay in the balance! Or maybe it won't! You decide.  Very impatiently and a bit lonesome, Tim Caterwall Reynolds (a.k.a. TCR) P.S.  IF YOU SUBSCRIBE NOW, YOU MIGHT BE 4th TO DO SO!, and no one will ever be able to take that honor away from you.    

  PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING FOR YOUR OWN LISTENING SAFETY: Lee and Chris utilize shock and awe techniques along with bass, midrange and treble mixed with tweeters and woofers and electricity and other miracles of science and seance to bring you a podcast about re-casting. No extra ingredients are needed from you, the listener, in order to enjoy all the talking that goes on. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels stars Steve Martin and Michael Caine. They did such a good job: so why not replace them? Plenty of reasons we will ignore in this podcast. YOU can count on it!   WE won't stop there. We'll keep up with all the talking!  YOU will be transported into a fantasy world of wonder and imagination and wonder and strange new, beautiful and stupid ideas. Maybe... Sorry and Sincerely, The TCR (stands for Total Casting Recall) Street Team 

This week - Lee and Chris do the unthinkable. They do another podcast episode wherein they perform the death/birth defying art of re-casting another iconic film, called Goonies.  The setting is Earth and child actors take center stage on the screen. No one really knows where it all began and where it all will end. But I digress. The Goonies cast mostly grew up and became adult actors and no one was the wiser. Spoiler alert: there may not be a spoiler alert. You be the judge. Also, look out for the easter egg, Josh Brolin. He appears in the film. So if you're ready ... and even if you're not sit down or stand up and listen in on this weeks episode. But...  Be prepared to have your ears blown wide open with concepts that Chris and Lee will dazzle you with. Or it could be just more nonsense like last week. You may or may not be surprised. I, for one still don't know what to think. Or even: what to remember. 'Does anyone remember laughter?' - Bobby Plant Cheerios, A TCR Cyborg Simpleton ESQ.   

This episode Lee and Chris continue their upstoppable crusade of recasting movies. You can't stop them. You could, but why bother? There's Something About Mary is the movie they recast this time. FYI:it's a classic Farrelly Brothers film. In it, the characters all learn something about Mary. Starring Cameron Diaz, Ben Stiller. Chris Elliott and other fine actors -who incidentally wanted to join us on this podcast but we refused to allow them to come on, of course. How would that look?  Awkward!  So listen up! and you don't have to worry about Hollywood bigshots taking over the mike. Hugs and Kisses, THE TCR ROBOTS  

Merry Christmas or Xmas; if that's how you choose to see yourself. Those fine people down at TCR have done it again! -as we have so many times before... Especially with the talking. If you've been looking for an inciteful, thought-provoking podcast about cinema; especially from the United States- Well...keep looking! Because: THE TOTAL CASTING RECALL GUARANTEE: Here, you will find un-informed and semi-non-collegiate views, coupled with heavily opinionated bias, combined with a goody two shoes approach, delivered to you (the listener). It's a 100% grade-A nonsense about comedy movies. Sure, you could listen to other extremely popular podcasts out there with super famous people of the Hollywood Industry with big shot actors and stuff. But remember, we will give you mostly non-resarched information - sometimes make 'em ups (improv) and whoop-de-doo's. You won't find THAT anywhere else. If you do. Please let us know.  Oh yeah. This week's installment is BAD SANTA which stars Billy Bob Thornton, John Ritter, Bernie Mac and many others. Plot: it takes place in the U.S. around Christmas time. (Un-Spoiler Alert.) Happy Holidays! Keep It up and Keep it Round, The TCR PODPEOPLE    

Hey TCR Folks! it's that time of year again! You know what I mean, lots of stuff on sale! Thinking about Goodwill ... Salvation Army, etc.   Of course! But also it's about being kind etc.... and the actual reason for the season. Yes! It's time to remember that it's time of year to watch your Christmas Movie favorites! National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is a great place to start. Not only is a very long title, it's an American classic and yuletide favorite.  Happy go lucky Chevy Chase finds himself in another predicament, and it's still his family. Plus Randy Quaid and lots of other funny folks have their moment. Currently, you cam find it back in the theaters around the U.S.A.  BUT before you do, listen to this first. Spoiler alert: there's no spoiler alert. So listen without any fear of spoilage as Lee and Chris break this down so the listener can understand and enjoy this movie more fully. At least, that's what Lee and Chris think they're doing.  Or do they? YOU be the judge. Happy Holidays, The TCR Elves

What About Bob? Well, besides being an open-ended question of complete ambiguity; it's also the subject of recasting examination in this weeks episode of Total Casting Recall. Yup. After listening to this entire episode you may or may not ask 'What about Total Casting Recall?'  But probably not.  Lee and Chris leave no stone unturned when it comes to recasting; and why should they? There are plenty of reasons- but it's just too late. The damage has been done. By the way, this movie has Bill Murray of The Razor's Edge and Richard Dreyfuss of the Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz. And to this day. it's unclear if these two movie stars/actors are still pen-pals. What About Bob?  That's What.  Sincerely, The Totally Recalled Catastrophe-ers.

This week features two voices. Let's call them 'Chris and Lee'. Crying out in the wilderness. Crying out not for understanding, peace, tranquility. But it's not even like one of those 'Stop the Madness' or 'Baby on Board' deals. Their cries are basically about 'We Must Re-Cast or We'll Die' But who knows? A Fish Called Wanda slides under the microscope of determined excellence in podcast history you'll ever hear. Get the tissue box ready!  BECAUSE YOU WILL:  Laugh, Cry, Drift, Become hungry, doze, lose interest, lose track of time, lose your lunch or sneeze. Possibly you might even 'let an air' as those folks on DownTown Abbey or Downtown Abigail talk.  There's no turning back. You could but you've read this far. Why not listen? Better yet, listen to your heart. With Uncomfortable Love, TCR DREAM TEAM (OR DREAMY TEAM)

NOTHING, and I mean nothing captures THANKSGIVING more than a podcast that uses the word THANKSGIVING in the episode title. First of all, we'd like to thank you, the listener. For reading this and then possibly, taking the time to listen to two guys talk about re-casting the classic THANKSGIVING classic movie classic - Planes, Trains and Automobiles. FYI it's Thanksgiving themed movie starring two fine actors whose names have been lost to time, Steve Martin and John Candy. After your doing eating your Thanksgiving with family and friends don't forget to give thanks for just being alive and listening to this podcast episode. Unless of course, you're not a thankful person by nature. How about just saying 'hi' to a stranger? Alive or dead. Or perhaps they're an extraterrestrial. In that case, good luck with that. THANK you! from TCR   (Thankful Casting Recall)

Listen or watch with your mind as the talkers Chris and Lee blow your ass wide open with catchy ideas about to recast a movie for no good reason other than to warm your heart. This week the Dystopic Duo take on the buddy comedy classic comedy Midnight Run. After absolutely no debating whatsoever, they passed on doing an episode on the hilarious Midnight Express based solely on a miscommunication. This original classic film paired up an unlikely actor team. Charles Grodin and Robert DeNiro. Even God himself went 'Whoa, buddy' after the movie machine called Hollywood bore the fruit of this here movie. And after listening to this podcast episode you too may find yourself asking God, 'Why?'  Maybe even a 'Dear Lord!'  Or even 'Great Scott!' But honestly, who even says or even thinks that anymore. Michael drop. Or Mike drop. As the man said. So if you've read this far you might as well listen to this episode. You've got nothing to lose. Not your life but maybe your lunch. Happy sound detections, The Total Recall Casting Entourage of One

In this episode of TCR, the Universe is discussed and the Meaning of life, love and liberty. The meaning of Truth. The meaning of Love. And how to correctly spell these words. But then we accidentally erased it. So instead, we watched a movie called Fletch and Chris B. and Lee B. pretended to be casting directors and did up real good with our own ideals. Sorry, I meant ideers. Dig it? TCR listeners: Stand up and be counted! And that won't take long but soon; you'll be able to brag to your friends that you listened to the TOTAL CASTING RECALL podcast when it wasn't cool. And now EVERYONE'S doing it. AND to win your argument or discussion you can cap it off with- how you actually read the episode descriptions. And how that moment made you feel when you did... So get ready.... and listen on, time travelers.... Sincerely, The Total Casting Recall Clubhouse Gluten Free Warriors and Statesmen  

In this here installment: Chris and Lee feature themselves, especially their voices and re-cast the comedy hit Friday. Imagine if you will, as Lee and Chris re-imagine, a different cast and then talk about it. You won't believe how they expertly present themselves as experts in this podcast format. Dare to imagine yourself listening to this podcast before you listen and you'll be surprised or even shocked at what you learn on your voyage of discovery.   Fun idea: Listen in your car full volume in a traffic jam. Helpful hint:  Do not forget to turn up the volume and you're sure to get your mind blown wide open with their wit, their charm and their inaccuracies. Fun Game Idea: Count how often they lose their train of thought and see if it matches your own! Anyway you slice it, it comes up fun! Avid Listener, Bobarr McShanmey (age 2)

Are you scared? We are! Why? Because our second HALLOWEEN-themed episode is finally here and ready to be listened to. The TCR team has teamed up and teamed up again for SHAUN OF THE DEAD, the super funny horror film from the UK that features those kinds of actors. Yes- that's actually how they talk! Weird, right! You damn right that I'm right. and right rhymes with fright. Chris and Lee meticulously and painstakingly cast the bejesus out of the this one! Actual casting directors will feel like beheading themselves after they find out who we suggested as possible cast members in this scary fever dream re-casting Halloween extravaganza no one saw coming! Hold on to your masks as we trick and treat you with Horrifying Verbage!! and Blood Curdling Saracasm that will have you rolling your eyes until the next Halloween! Yikes!! Reminder: If you are under the age of 115 please have your barf bag ready....  and if you are over the age of 115 please unwrap your hard candy for the courtesy of other listeners. Please.  and BTW... Boo! Are you scared yet? At how long this description goes on and on....  AAHRGH!!,    TOTAL CASTRATING RECALL TEAM (tee-hee)    

Get ready to be scared! Don't be scared but just get ready to! In this very almost super special spectacular not spooktackular episode, Chris and Lee Investigate Cinematic Paranormal Box Office Blockbuster/Humdinger GHOSTBUSTERS. You remember the song. And now you can remember us! Talkin' about plugging in new folks into a casting sitch that was done already. Years ago! Very scary!! Hold on to your hat, friend or popcorn, if that's how you choose to live your life, and listen closely.... Prepared to be... not necessarily scared but hear some stuff said by humanoids. Boo! R.I.P., Total Casting Recall Paranormal and Seminormal Research Crew

Ingredients: Voices, two different voices talking to and at each other. Uninformed opinions. Failed joke attempts. Often used sound effects. Light crispy repartee. Some information.  Some more information.  And words. Some mispronunciations. Smattering of veiled hostility and side splitters coupled with digressions and long pauses.  Office Space is a slice of life of an American office employee from the genius mind of Mike Judge;   Chris and Lee re-cast it. Not because it needs it but because they wanted to.

In this episode of Total Casting Recall, Co-hosts Chris and Lee carefully and gingerly re-cast the classic comedy hit, Airplane! They accomplish this feat using their minds and implement the power of talking. They utilize words, sometimes jokes, sometimes puns. If you listen closely, you might hear actual facts carefully harvested from the world wide web and their faulty memories. No ghosts were harmed during the recording of this episode. Whew! Congratulations! You've read this far. Now is the time to listen. Disclaimer: No AI was used to write this. In fact, not much intelligence was used at all.  AI also refused to help.  Sincerely, The TCR Action Team            

Co-hosts Chris and Lee dismantle the cast of the time honored classic, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and  re-imagine a new cast. FYI it's about a guy who coerces girl friend and best buddy in an impromptu unauthorized ditch day from the drudgery of high school in the 80's. And guides them to stop and smell the roses. They get a big helping of unexpected life lessons, too.  This podcast episode will not only blow your mind, it will dismantle it too! So get ready for another shocking episode of two guys with opinions on how they can 'make it all better'. Hypothetically speaking. CAUTION: You may be astounded at what you hear. Or... you just might not!  Thanks for again for reading this. Excelsior!  The TCR Team

In this very special episode we take a peek behind the curtain and uhmm... What we do is revealed to all. Listen if you dare and only if you are very, very patient.  

Take a trip back into Olde West of the 1970’s with Chris and Lee to do some westward expansion of casting possibilities for the Mel Brooks comedy classic Blazing Saddles. Get ready to be shocked and awed by their daring casting choices.  You might even find yourself in harsh agreement or jovial disagreement with their choices.  Blazing Saddles sends up the classic Hollywood western and America herself with all kinds of hoots and hollers. Listen in wonder as the true story of how the west was won or fun.

Lee & Chris take a deep dive into conjuring up yet another dream cast of from their very own minds for the classic 1981 film Cannonball Run. Listen as they rework the all star cast with different actors (mostly).  FYI, the movie is about a coast-to-coast road race across the USA that features no cannons and very little running despite the title. It all adds up to something!

In this installment. Lee & Chris individually reimagine the cast of the classic comedy Stripes. Listen in as they try to re-cast something that already has a memorable and iconic cast.  By the way, Stripes chronicles the adventures of two friends looking to be gainfully employed by the U.S. government (The Army) and get chicks. Ultimately, in the end, we all learn something.

Chris & Lee gather to discuss Axel Foley and recast the 1984 action-comedy BEVERLY HILLS COP! Listen as the fellas debate who could fill Eddie Murphy's shoes (and bathrobe). And who this BEVERLY lady is!?!

Lee & Chris reconvene to discuss the 1977 classic hockey comedy SLAP SHOT. Join the guys as they recast the motley crew of minor league hockey thugs with modern-day thuggish actors. 

Chris & Lee launch the inaugural episode of TOTAL CASTING RECALL, the podcast where these two Gen Xers recast classic films of their past with modern actors. For the first episode, the two have a spirited discussion about the 1982 comedy Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Join them as they return to the San Fernando Valley to recast 20somethings & 30somethings as high school students!
