The guys get together to discuss one of Paul’s favorite movies, ‘Collateral’. The conversation starts with the career of Tom Cruise and what makes him work in so many roles and why this one is so different and great. The guys then jump in the cab with Max (Jamie Foxx) and get into how he did with the role and how this fit within his career. The guys jump from kill to kill discussing every scene, quote and character that made this movie so special or absurd. Finally, the guys touch on Javier Bardem’s scene, and the wild and outrageous Club Fever shootout. “Shadow on the Sun” blares over the speaker and the guys finish off the movie giving their opinions on the ending. The Recast gives us some more good guys going bad as Joe, Mike and Paul attempt a 2021 remake. Make sure you clean your car, don’t pick up a hitman and listen as we take ‘Collateral’ and Reel It Back.

The guys all got their Hawaiian names ready for the vacation comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The guys dip deep into the uproarious film by discussing how often they’ve seen it and where it ranks in the Judd Apatow realm of movies. They talk Jason Segel and his many talents including writing, keyboard, singing and full frontal nudity. The guys then get into all the hilarious scenes and quotes and get into who the best supporting star is, in a film full of them. Most hated is a runaway victory for one character while the guys have many disagreements with MVP, and the Jules Award winner. Recasting is pretty tough with a movie from 2008 but the guys put an interesting and different set of characters in The Recast. Grab the silly Hawaiian shirt (or don’t), brush up on your surfing skills and get ready to love some Rock Opera as you listen to this one! Oh the weather outside is weather..

Good Evening Clarice. The 30th Anniversary of Silence of the Lambs has arrived and the guys reel it back to discuss whether they consider it a horror movie. They dive into Sir Anthony Hopkins’ portrayal of Dr. Hannibal Lecter and how great he was for the role and how Jodie Foster was able to carry so much of the movie. The guys discuss some intense scenes with Dr. Lecter and Clarice and decide which one of those encounters is the best while also getting into their most hated character and favorite quotes from this 1991 Classic. They discuss Dr. Lecter in action and how advanced this movie was for its time. They dissect the final scenes including Precious and the motives of Buffalo Bill. While difficult, The Recast puts some new faces in these roles 30 years later. Warm up some liver and some fava beans, picture walking on a beach and listen to this one!

The greatest Winter Olympic sport has arrived and its courtesy of the Jamaican Bobsled Team! The guys feel the rhythm discussing watching this movie for the first time as a kid and what they remember most. The guys talk about how fair the “Olympic Trials” are and Joe touches on his love of Red Stripe. The guys all rave about the performance from Doug E. Doug and discuss how this movie could have legitimately 5 MVP’s. Paul’s Florida roots come out as they discuss the brutal cold of Canada and they see Pride and Power while dissecting one of the best and favorite scenes. The guys close with their thoughts on the differences of the movie and how much the last scene still gets them to this day. The Recast brings a fresh sheet of ice to the bobsled track as the guys pick several up and comers to star in a 2021 remake. Feel the Rhythm, Feel the Rhyme, kiss that lucky egg and make sure to stay warm listening to this one!

Well, it’s Reel It Back...again, and this week the guys are covering Groundhog Day over and over. The guys start with Bill Murray, his comedic timing and genius and how he was the perfect actor to play Phil Connors. The guys get into hotel stays, karaoke, and how often did Phil stay up all night to attempt at breaking the loop? They continue another day as they discuss Ned and how great of a part he plays and what is Phil’s true intentions throughout each day. It gets dark with Phil’s depression stage but Mike gives an uplifting epic Das Boot story. The guys differ on how long the Phil-Rita relationship lasts after the movie and the surprising lack of a ridiculous sequel. The Recast attempts to replicate Bill Murray’s genius by putting some intriguing characters in a 2021 remake. Make sure you have some deja vu in the kitchen, don’t live by the rules and listen to this one! BING!

Nostromo, are you there? Nostromo? The guys get together this week to breakdown Ridley Scott’s Sci-Fi Horror Masterpiece ‘Alien’. They start quickly by asking the real question “is this Jaws in space?” and they go over what makes this a ‘horror’ movie. The guys then list  their top 5 Alien movies and Paul has a real questionable one on his list. The guys get to all the jump scares, their best scenes, and who’s cat is that in space! They question a design flaw of Nostromo and get to Sigourney Weaver’s great but odd final scene. The Recast gets a few All-Star crews together for what would be a remarkable 2021 remake. Make sure none of your crew is a robot and don’t spill acid on yourself when listening to this one! This is Paul, Mike and Joe, last survivors of the pod, Reel it Back, signing off.

NFL Playoffs are here! So that means time for the...AFFA! Any Given Sunday overtakes the pod this week and the guys discuss how realistic the movie depicts football life, how good the games look and can you buy Al Pacino as a football coach?  Paul gives his thoughts on the “it’s just a game” crowd and the guys discuss whether they like the Oliver Stone style. MVP and best scene seems easy, but hated characters, absurd moments and quotes have the guys making difficult choices. The guys make The Recast different yet familiar in what would be a 2021 instant classic. So grab your All-Sport, turn on that Willie Beamen music video and get ready for this pod!

The guys get together for one of Mike’s favorite films, Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark. The guys begin with Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones and how big of run he was on and how he was the perfect actor to play the role even if Joe has some other ideas. They continue with a favorite scene in the opening and Mike describes how it sets the tone of the whole movie. The guys then name their top 5 Steven Spielberg movies and that causes some debate between the trio. Joe gives a not so surprising MVP, they talk the annoying monkey, snakes,  and the coolest piece of closet accessory you’ll ever see. The guys close with an amazing Indiana Jones stunt and hotly debate the final scene. Finally, Harrison Ford makes it difficult in The Recast but the guys get great actors in the fold to recreate this Masterpiece.
