  • Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - Ep.23
    Jan 23 2026

    PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING FOR YOUR OWN LISTENING SAFETY:

    Lee and Chris utilize shock and awe techniques along with bass, midrange and treble mixed with tweeters and woofers and electricity and other miracles of science and seance to bring you a podcast about re-casting. No extra ingredients are needed from you, the listener, in order to enjoy all the talking that goes on.

    Dirty Rotten Scoundrels stars Steve Martin and Michael Caine. They did such a good job: so why not replace them? Plenty of reasons we will ignore in this podcast. YOU cant count on it!

    WE won't stop there. We'll keep up with all the talking!

    YOU will be transported into a fantasy world of wonder and imagination and wonder and strange new, beautiful and stupid ideas.

    Maybe...

    Sorry and Sincerely,

    The TCR (stands for Total Casting Recall) Street Team

  • Goonies-Ep.22
    Jan 19 2026

    This week -

    Lee and Chris do the unthinkable. They do another podcast episode wherein they perform the death/birth defying art of re-casting another iconic film, called Goonies. The setting is Earth and child actors take center stage on the screen. No one really knows where it all began and where it all will end. But I digress.

    The Goonies cast mostly grew up and became adult actors and no one was the wiser. Spoiler alert: there may not be a spoiler alert. You be the judge. Also, look out for the easter egg, Josh Brolin. He appears in the film. So if you're ready ... and even if you're not sit down or stand up and listen in on this weeks episode. But...

    Be prepared to have your ears blown wide open with concepts that Chris and Lee will dazzle you with. Or it could be just more nonsense like last week. You may or may not be surprised.

    I, for one still don't know what to think. Or even: what to remember.

  • There's 'Something About Mary - Ep.-21
    Jan 7 2026

    This episode Lee and Chris continue their upstoppable crusade of recasting movies. You can't stop them. You could, but why bother?

    There's Something About Mary is the movie they recast this time. FYI:it's a classic Farrelly Brothers film. In it, the characters all learn something about Mary. Starring Cameron Diaz, Ben Stiller. Chris Elliott and other fine actors -who incidentally wanted to join us on this podcast but we refused to allow them to come on, of course. How would that look? Awkward! So listen up! and you don't have to worry about Hollywood bigshots taking over the mike.

    Hugs and Kisses,

    THE TCR ROBOTS

  • Bad Santa -Ep. 20
    Dec 24 2025

    Merry Christmas or Xmas; if that's how you choose to see yourself. Those fine people down at TCR have done it again! -as we have so many times before... Especially with the talking. If you've been looking for an inciteful, thought-provoking podcast about cinema; especially from the United States- Well...keep looking!

    Because:

    THE TOTAL CASTING RECALL GUARANTEE:

    Here, you will find un-informed and semi-non-collegiate views, coupled with heavily opinionated bias, combined with a goody two shoes approach, delivered to you (the listener).

    It's a 100% grade-A nonsense about comedy movies.

    Sure, you could listen to other extremely popular podcasts out there with super famous people of the Hollywood Industry with big shot actors and stuff. But remember, we will give you mostly non-resarched information - sometimes make 'em ups (improv) and whoop-de-doo's. You won't find THAT anywhere else.

    If you do. Please let us know.

    Oh yeah. This week's installment is BAD SANTA which stars Billy Bob Thornton, John Ritter, Bernie Mac and many others. Plot: it takes place in the U.S. around Christmas time. (Un-Spoiler Alert.)

    Happy Holidays! Keep It up and Keep it Round,

    The TCR PODPEOPLE

  • National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation -Ep.- 19
    Dec 16 2025

    Hey TCR Folks! it's that time of year again! You know what I mean, lots of stuff on sale! Thinking about Goodwill ... Salvation Army, etc.

    Of course!

    But also it's about being kind etc.... and the actual reason for the season.

    Yes! It's time to remember that it's time of year to watch your Christmas Movie favorites!

    National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is a great place to start. Not only is a very long title, it's an American classic and yuletide favorite.

    Happy go lucky Chevy Chase finds himself in another predicament, and it's still his family. Plus Randy Quaid and lots of other funny folks have their moment. Currently, you cam find it back in the theaters around the U.S.A.

    BUT before you do, listen to this first. Spoiler alert: there's no spoiler alert. So listen without any fear of spoilage as Lee and Chris break this down so the listener can understand and enjoy this movie more fully. At least, that's what Lee and Chris think they're doing.

    Or do they? YOU be the judge.

    Happy Holidays,

    The TCR Elves

  • What About Bob? - Ep. 18
    Dec 9 2025

    What About Bob? Well, besides being an open-ended question of complete ambiguity; it's also the subject of recasting examination in this weeks episode of Total Casting Recall.

    Yup. After listening to this entire episode you may or may not ask 'What about Total Casting Recall?' But probably not. Lee and Chris leave no stone unturned when it comes to recasting; and why should they? There are plenty of reasons- but it's just too late. The damage has been done. By the way, this movie has Bill Murray of The Razor's Edge and Richard Dreyfuss of the Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz. And to this day. it's unclear if these two movie stars/actors are still pen-pals. What About Bob? That's What.

    Sincerely,

    The Totally Recalled Catastrophe-ers.

  • A Fish Called Wanda - Ep. 17
    Dec 3 2025

    This week features two voices. Let's call them 'Chris and Lee'. Crying out in the wilderness. Crying out not for understanding, peace, tranquility. But it's not even like one of those 'Stop the Madness' or 'Baby on Board' deals. Their cries are basically about 'We Must Re-Cast or We'll Die' But who knows?

    A Fish Called Wanda slides under the microscope of determined excellence in podcast history you'll ever hear. Get the tissue box ready!

    BECAUSE YOU WILL:

    Laugh, Cry, Drift, Become hungry, doze, lose interest, lose track of time, lose your lunch or sneeze.

    Possibly you might even 'let an air' as those folks on DownTown Abbey or Downtown Abigail talk.

    There's no turning back. You could but you've read this far. Why not listen? Better yet, listen to your heart.

    With Uncomfortable Love,

    TCR DREAM TEAM (OR DREAMY TEAM)

  • Planes, Trains and Automobiles -THANKSGIVING! - Ep. 16
    Nov 23 2025

    NOTHING, and I mean nothing captures THANKSGIVING more than a podcast that uses the word THANKSGIVING in the episode title. First of all, we'd like to thank you, the listener. For reading this and then possibly, taking the time to listen to two guys talk about re-casting the classic THANKSGIVING classic movie classic - Planes, Trains and Automobiles. FYI it's Thanksgiving themed movie starring two fine actors whose names have been lost to time, Steve Martin and John Candy.

    After your doing eating your Thanksgiving with family and friends don't forget to give thanks for just being alive and listening to this podcast episode. Unless of course, you're not a thankful person by nature. How about just saying 'hi' to a stranger? Alive or dead. Or perhaps they're an extraterrestrial. In that case, good luck with that.

    THANK you! from TCR

    (Thankful Casting Recall)
