  • Tommy Boy --Ep ,32
    Mar 24 2026

    It's Chris. It's Lee. It's a Podcast.

    It's got sound...

    It's TOTAL CASTING RECALL It's indescribable. It's incorrigible. It's irreverent. It's in- your- face-crazy. There are literally trillions of podcasts about re-casting. That includes not just Earth or the Milky Way or even the Local Group. Of course! There are extra- terrestrial podcasts. They've been doing this for millions of years. Because those guys are smart!! Even long ago. So you can stop it, right now!

    I don't even know who I'm arguing with at this point.

    That's how passionate I am about TOTAL CASTING RECALL.

    Also I'm passionate about Tommy Boy.

    Not even a sequel to Tommy, the movie by The Who.

    Nope.

    Its a completely original American comedy classic starring Chris Farley and David Spade

    These 2 comedy Icons rip you a new one ithis time! Farley and Spade gave us the inspiration. Thank You, Chris Farley and David Spade. We owe you one.

    Special Note to David Spade. If I ever see you around, I will give you a free sticker. Til then, good luck to you, Mr. Spade. So maybe you'll see me and then you can collect your free sticker!!

  • Ace Ventura: Pet Detective - Ep. 31
    Mar 18 2026

    Hey Podcast Episode Description Readers of Earth!

    Are ready for this? You can now not only read these descriptions but you can also listen to the companion episode as well!

    And if you do, you might be pleased to hear what you're listening to.

    This episode features the hit film from last century. called

    Ace Venture: Pet Detective.

    I know what you're thinking: it sounds like a great novel or weapon BUT...

    It's not.

    It's a madcap non-stop laugh riot of a comedy starring Jim Carrey who is also Canadian.

    So... now you're asking yourself - what the heck is this movie about?

    It's about having a laugh... and NOT thinking at all about global nuclear destruction -which is how things were done back in the day, bro. And today...as well... Where was I?

    Oh yeah... This is some good reading, right? Right?!/

    Plot: The movie starts and you which it 'til it ends. Onscreen: Jim plays a fella who opens up his subconscious and connects with animal consciousness and after the cameras stop he (MR. CARREY) goes home and collects a big paycheck and maybe he might have a sandwich. Or two.

    Oh yeah, from what I was told, Christopher Lee re-casts this big movie anyway. So you get to listen to that because Jim Carrey didn't show up to the taping of this episode, plus he is not even aware 'we' did it in the first place, so it all worked out. Bam!

    Thanks for reading. I mean it,

  • Uncle Buck -Ep.30
    Mar 10 2026

    Hoo-ray!! It's our 30th Episode!! Thank you for listening to the first 29 episodes! And to those who haven't, this episode will make absolutely no sense whatsoever.

    Sorry!!

    JUST KIDDING. None of the episodes make any sense. Even if you play them backwards... except the one episode that will tell to run out and buy Led Zeppelin albums. Specifically the box sets. NOW that that is out of the way. On with the verbiage...

    Do YOU have an Uncle Buck? Well, we do!

    This week we (Chris and Lee) do some death defying casting and re-cast this classic.

    It’s Uncle Buck. Starring John Candy, Macaulay Culkin. Also included are other actors and crew people, mostly not seen on camera. Directed by John Hughes.

    It takes place in Cold America- possibly Chicago- in the 1980s.

    Plot: Somebody important dies and leaves the kids with another relative who doesn't have kids to take care of them. It was.a different time. it was a different century.

    Spoiler Alert: IT TAKES PLACE ON EARTH.

    This episode is sure open your mind and rip it apart and thrust it into a different dimension through a portal or something!

    Possibly.

    Thanks for listening- If you dare.....

    Sincerely,

    Ol' Farteblossem Spitoonski (The TCR in-house innovator)
