This week on Better Than Average, Chris and Jay dive headfirst into Paul Verhoeven’s 1990 sci-fi classic Total Recall. We break down the film’s unforgettable action, practical effects, mutant side characters, and the eternal question: was it all real… or wasn’t it?

Along the way, we also squeeze in the usual MMA and BJJ chat, covering training updates, fight talk, and whatever else is rattling around in our heads before inevitably circling back to Mars.

From Schwarzenegger one-liners to Martian politics, implanted memories, and explosive set pieces, we revisit why this film still holds up — and where it goes completely off the rails in the best possible way.

Strap in, grab some oxygen, and get ready for a nostalgia-fuelled deep dive — it’s Better Than Average.
