#180 - Total Recall


Listen Later

Move over Marty! It's time to dive into the highest of cinemaaaaa in the form of prime Arnie's sci-fi action flick, Total Recall. Mr. Arnold starts the film trying to play a totally regular construction worker who wants more from his life. This is the least believable thing ever put to screen (have you seen how massive this dude was?!). So thankfully we learn pretty quickly he is actually a former spy on Mars whose memory was erased. What follows is a simultaneously violent and charming 90s action affair, complete with some classic cheesy one liners you'd expect from the big man Arnold S. But the plot does keep you wondering: is this all just an implanted memory? A question which raised some philosophical debate amongst us around whether or not we would ever consider implanting the memory of a fake holiday in our brains. Plus after the review, we have the biggest News Chat in months with our thoughts on the new trailers for Avatar: The Last Airbender, Inside Out 2, and more!
