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 talking about it. You won't believe how they expertly see themselves as experts in this format of the podcast.

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!

Are you scared? We are! Why? because ANOTHER HALLOWEEN PART DEUCE!! Is finally here and ready to be listened to. The TCR team have teamed up and teamed up again for SHAUN OF THE DEAD, the super funny horror film from the UK that features those kind 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!!
