This episode, Nick directs the gang to take a shot at recasting Casablanca (1942) in 1991, right in the middle of the noir resurgence. And, boy, it's a trip! Tanner and Cory's casts blow Nick's mind; we’ll let YOU decide for better or for worse. Nick hosts a new game that shows just how little we know about Casablanca's cultural influence. Tanner and Cory bring up several important questions about war propaganda, Humphrey Bogart propaganda, and what "Here's looking at you, kid" actually means.

On this episode, we finally give in to Nick’s crazy plans, and attempt something we’ve never done before: recasting an entire trilogy! That’s right, over the next three episodes, we’re heading to Middle Earth to recast “The Lord of the Rings” over three years, 1984 to 1986! 

We’ve planned this out as best we could (spreading out the entire cast over 3 episodes), starting with the inaugural chapter of Tolkien’s fantasy classic, “The Fellowship of the Ring.” Hit play to start!
