More Philip K. Dick!!! Is this 1990 film (based on Dick's novella, "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale") going to be a better adaptation than Minority Report?! (<~~ that may be a clue as to who writes the show notes...) If nothing else, it's super campy and over-the-top 90's action! Join us as we dig into the adaptation changes and even a cursory nod toward the 2012 film w/ Colin Farrell.

Character Cheat Sheet!

• Arnold Schwarzenegger (Douglas Quaid / Hauser) - Main character & sap/spy/superhero?
• Rachel Ticotin (Melina) - Quad's Mars lover
• Sharon Stone (Lori) - Quad's fake, earth-wife
• Ronny Cox (Vilos Cohaagen) - Big Bad
• Michael Ironside (Richter) - Small Bad (who likely does not make it to the final party)

Show Notes

• With regards to the 2012 version of the film, you can find plenty of explanations as to why the 1990 version is better
• if you want to waste more time on total recall, here's a 30-minute making of video
• Kyle Note: "Beetlejuice. That's a dark comedy, campy, cheesy movie I actually enjoyed." (You'll better understand after listening...)
