Episode 118: Total Recall (2012)

TagEdit

"On this episode we discuss Total Recall, a film that everyone begrudgingly acknowledged was a thing that existed."

Website BlurbEdit

OH BOY! Colin Farrell remade the fondly-remembered Schwartzenegger/Verhoven joint Total Recall! We're sure their "gritty" version will become the definitive one. Meanwhile, Stu imagines the majesty of a Sharon Stone-Michael Ironsides union, Dan confuses everyone with modern freezer mug technology, and Elliott tells us about his high-rolling Wallace Shawn lifestyle.
