  • 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)

  • The Blues Brothers - Ep 29
    Mar 4 2026

    You've heard of the Hudson Brothers, the Smith Brothers, the Smothers Brothers, and the Gargantuans. Or maybe there's a few of you left that haven't heard of them. But consider yourself very lucky, because now you have.

    Congratulations!

    What was I talking about? Oh yeah...This week, we (Lee and Chris) take a stab a recasting the monumental The Blues Brothers film. Which starred Dan Akyroyd, John Belushi, and many, many others. Plus lots of background actors and lots of cars that get crashed. Way before GTA. In fact, it could have inspired auto accident themed video games to come later. Or maybe it's just me that thinks that. Pro tip: you should always think for yourself.

    For those not familiar with this movie, it's about how God himself takes on the layers of law enforcement of the entire state of Illinois and the city of Chicago, using two prototypes of the later crappier versions of the Men in Black. Big difference with these two: they have to jam the blues. Basically...

    Sorry, spoiled alerted already been done.

    You'll thrill to the expert recasting choice makers this week as they blow your heels right off your freaking feet. As the music does in this classic film.

    Just like the staff here at TCR

    They were on a mission from God.

    But they were probably paid a lot more for there efforts.

    Keep on with the Trucking,

    THE TCR BROTHERS( siblings)

  • Heathers - Ep. 28
    Feb 24 2026

    What is Total Casting Recall? A lot of people are asking! And it just so happens that this is our monumental, deluxe, special EPISODE 28! And when I say a lot of people are asking, I mean, probably about 5 or 6. (This total was counted from memories in my personal encounters in my life).

    And speaking of Life, why not enjoy yours? It's more fun than complaining and doom scrolling. With or without an actual scroll. I don't really care, because both are bad for you!

    In this one: Leef and Kris journey into the pre-goth, mad cap world of Heathers which features the hilarious acting stylings of Winona Ryder, the controversial subject of a Primus song, and Christian Slater of Christian Slater. It's about two crazy mixed up kids who themselves in a heap-o-trouble. Back in the olden days before the intra-net.

    Leee and Chriss put on their mad caps in this episode and re-cast the Charles Dickens out of this time honored, classic piece of cinematic comedy history.

    So, put them ear pod devices in/on or shock collars on and get ready to giggle your buns off!

    Invitingly,

    Sir Totally Recastingly Recallingsworth III

  • Raising Arizona - Ep. 27
    Feb 17 2026

    Chris and Lee are back! And this time, it's the same.

    EXCEPT, IT'S NOT!

    But enough of this rage baiting. Now that your blood has stopped boiling, let us continue...

    This we with dive/fall/repel into RAIZING ARIZONA. Not a zombie movie, nor is it a soul stirring, anti gravity movie in which entire state of Arizona is levitated against a backdrop of love and splendor. Nope, it's a garden variety kidnapped/bandit film that was created by the Fabulous Coen Brothers.

    Besides it being a non-stop laugh riot and rip roaring centrifuge of fun- we noticed that it needed re-casting. Well, not because it needed it. It's got Nick Cage, Holly Hunter and bunch of other actors that will make you laugh, cry and make us feel a little better about ourselves. And if doesn't then you must face the fact that your problems lie much deeper.

    So sit back, lean forward or continue jumping if you are a kinesthetic listener and immerse yourself into your own private celebration of sound waves and the art of listening with a difference.

    Happily Cautious,

    Total Recall Action Teamsters, Phase II

  • Kingpin - Ep, 26
    Feb 10 2026

    At first sight, you might think that Chris and Lee are re-casting Klingon but in fact, this week they decided to re-cast Kingpin. It's a comedy from the Farelly brothers and stars Randy Quaid and Woody Harrelsen. Not William Shatner or Leonard Nimoy.

    Or Worf.

    So...

    Keep reading this, if you dare. Do you want to make money? We all do. You might think to yourself, 'How do you do it?' I don't know. But if you send us cash I will then reveal 'The Secret'

    PRO TIP: Enter contests that offer free cash prizes

    Like a bowling contest. Which is what happens in this filmed movie.

    What a coincidence! Bob Lazar does not believe in cooincidences. Or maybe he does. I don't know, I've never met him. Back to the dangerous world of talking on podcasts that tackle the risky and controversial topic of recasting comedy movies. But I don't feel like talking about that.

    What have YOU done lately? Perhaps try to build something with Legos that expresses your feelings. Or, invite some friends over and have a competition wherein the winner is the person who can make the best pirate hat out of paper. Or throw around some axes. Or try pickleball. Or maybe spin art. Or don't. Please give.

    This has been a special message from the caring friends down at the TCR RANCH reminding you to have-

    Courage.

  • Bull Durham - Ep. 25
    Feb 3 2026

    Welcome! Not only to World of Total Casting Recall, but welcome to the world of Podcasts! But not only to that World but welcome also to the World of Sound! Not only that, Welcome to the World! And, Welcome to Earth! Unless you are an Earthling. Then, good to see you, fellow human. Whew, now that that is out of the way....

    You've heard of Bull. You've probably heard of Durham. This movie brings these two words and worlds together.

    Bull Durham is a movie made by mostly by humanoids for humanoids.

    IT'S GOT EVERYTHING: Minor league baseball players with odd beliefs/rituals/fetishes and a philosopher/sex therapist/with a strange southern accent and watch for the special Easter Egg: the character from Waterworld/Field 'o' Dreams. Both films equally funny comedies in their own right. Hint: it;s Kevin Costner. Also. look for Susan Serandon plus Tim Robbins.

    Extra Deluxe Special Challenge: listen for Chris and Lee's voices throughout this episode. It's a full on re-casting breakdown!!

    Sincerely,

    Sin Cere Lee (TCR typist)
