Cinema Swap

Happy holidays from Cinema Swap! This week on the show, we're joined by the wonderful and hilarious Alana Johnston (alana_johnston) to recast The Santa Clause. We chat about who would replace the main cast, and also terrible special effects, catching handfuls of chilli and Brett Goldstein. Let us know what you thought about our festive picks (@cinemaswap) and check out Alana's very fun, feel good show, Self Esteem Party Podcast (@selfesteemparty)! Hosts: Chris De Carlo, Sam Malone, Forrester Dunbrook

This week we are joined by friend of the show, Maggie Atkins, to talk about our favourite movie versions of Santa Clause! Live action, cartoons and claymation are all fair game to decide who the best movie Santa is. We also chat about who we think the worst cinema Santa is, as well! Let us know what you think (@cinemaswap). Hosts: Chris De Carlo, Sam Malone, Forrester Dunbrook

This week on the show, we talk about some legendary directors and why they're upset about the current state of cinema. Martin Scorsese, Ridley Scott and Christopher Nolan have made some of the greatest films of all time, and have incredible legacies, so what are they so upset about? Is art in film making dead, or are these just angry old men yelling at clouds? Listen and let us know what you think (@cinemaswap). Hosts: Chris De Carlo, Sam Malone, Forrester Dunbrook

This week on the show, we decided to discuss which famous movie sports teams we could actually play for! So many great sports films with great (or not so great) teams to choose from. How athletic are we? Medium amounts! But we think there are a handful of cinematic athletes we could hold our own with. Let us know what movie sports teams you would want to play for, over at @cinemaswap on social media. Hosts: Chris De Carlo, Sam Malone, Forrester Dunbrook

November makes us think of football season, so this week on the show, we decided to recast a classic football movie! Any Given Sunday is beloved (for some reason) and we definitely had a lot of thoughts about it. Is it possible to replace Al Pacino and have someone else give his iconic speech? Is it also possible for the editing in this movie to make any sense? Listen and find out! Let us know your thoughts, @cinemaswap on social media. Hosts: Chris De Carlo, Sam Malone, Forrester Dunbrook

This week on the show, we're doing things a little differently. Instead of trying to make movies better, we're swapping in other characters to try and make them worse! Join us as we chat about beloved films and how we would make them unwatchable by changing one of the main characters. Let us know how you would make your favourite movies worse! Reach out on social media @cinemaswap. Hosts: Chris De Carlo, Sam Malone, Forrester Dunbrook

Calling all Marvel fans! We've all seen and enjoyed Earth's Mightiest Heroes on the big screen, and the MCU is growing just about every month now, so we decided to cast our own Marvel films with characters who have not yet showed up in an MCU property. We chat about some beloved characters who haven't gotten their big break yet and also some weirdos you've probably never heard of before. We also try to decide if these new teams of heroes would actually make a good movie or not. Let us know which Marvel characters you would like to see in an upcoming film! Reach out to @cinemaswap on social media. Hosts: Chris De Carlo, Sam Malone, Forrester Dunbrook

This week on the show, we pose the question, what if? We pitch a movie idea of two existing films, combined together to get the best of both worlds. The catch is that one movie is a normal film that takes place in our normal world, and the other is sci-fi or fantasy! Join us as we ponder how different some movies would be if magic or aliens were added to them. Let us know what mish-mash movies you would want to see @cinemaswap on social media. Hosts: Chris De Carlo, Sam Malone, Forrester Dunbrook

There's something strange, with your podcast app! Who ya listening to? Cinema Swap! This week we are joined by the incredibly awesome Jeremy Cobb of @tbhalflings to recast this 80's horror-comedy classic. Inconsiderate ghosts, stupid demons and Bill Murray being too horny are all topics of conversation. Let us know if you like our picks on social media (@cinemaswap). Check out Jeremy on his awesome podcast, Three Black Halflings, as he and his co-hosts discuss diversity and inclusion in D&D, chat DM tips and record actual play games!

This week on the show, we're joined by friend of the pod, Gabe Broderick (@TheImpeccableG) to chat about who we think should be the next James Bond. Instead of recasting a specific 007 film, we're joining the conversation currently happening in the media and recasting the English spy for the next run of Bond movies. Let us know if you like our picks (@cinemaswap). Check out Gabe on his hilarious and informative show, The Concessions Stand Podcast (@thecstand). Hosts: Chris De Carlo, Sam Malone, Forrester Dunbrook
