TMR 066 Full Metal Jacket

Published: May 4, 2021, 5:18 a.m.
Duration: 1 hour 12 minutes 8 seconds

This week on Total Movie Recall, we go to the suck. Steve develops a thousand yard stare reserved for veterans of nightmare wars and mediocre podcasts. Ryan chalks up another point in the Irresponsible Father column, reflecting on his father\\u2019s prudent decision to let him watch this vision of insanity at a tender age yet again. If you listen to this episode, you can go to my house and fornicate with my sister.

Full Metal Jacket (1987)

d. Stanley Kubrick

w. Gustav Hasford based on his novel The Short-Timers

Starring:
Matthew Modine as Pvt. Joker
Adam Baldwin as Animal Mother
Vincent D\'Onofrio as Pvt. Pyle
R. Lee Ermey as Gny. Sgt. Hartman
Dorian Harewood as Eightball
Kevyn Major Howard as Rafterman
Arliss Howard as Pvt. Cowboy

Stanley Kubrick\'s take on the Vietnam War follows smart-aleck Private Davis, quickly christened "Joker" by his foul-mouthed drill sergeant, and pudgy Private Lawrence, nicknamed "Gomer Pyle," as they endure the rigors of basic training. Though Pyle\\xa0takes a frightening detour, Joker graduates to the Marine Corps and is sent to Vietnam as a journalist, covering -- and eventually participating in -- the bloody Battle of Hu\\xe9.

Duration: 1 hour 16 minutes 13 seconds

This week on Total Movie Recall, we watch the first Manic Pixie Dream Girl ever on screen, who is not a girl at all, but is most decidedly a woman. It\\u2019s the perfect post-2020 movie, and not just because of the constant suicides. It\\u2019s twee and precious and we absolutely loved it.

Ruth Gordon
Bud Cort

Cult classic pairs Cort as a dead-pan disillusioned 20-year-old obsessed with suicide and a loveable Gordon as a fun-loving 80-year-old eccentric. They meet at a funeral, and develop a taboo romantic relationship, in which they explore the tired theme of the meaning of life with a fresh perspective.

TMR 062 From Dusk Till Dawn

Published: March 15, 2021, 5:53 a.m.
Duration: 1 hour 49 minutes 46 seconds

Remember the innocent 90s, when white directors thought they had the N-word pass for some reason? What do you think their \\u201cwoke\\u201d movie would look like? Probably like this, where the N-word is replaced by horrific rape and Mexican jokes. This proto-edgelord movie was looked at as such a good time romp that it was considered the perfect vehicle to transition from the hit network show ER to the big screen. What a simpler time\\u2026

On the run from a bank robbery that left several police officers dead, Seth Gecko (George Clooney) and his paranoid, loose-cannon brother, Richard (Quentin Tarantino), hightail it to the Mexican border. Kidnapping preacher Jacob Fuller (Harvey Keitel) and his kids, the criminals sneak across the border in the family\'s RV and hole up in a topless bar. Unfortunately, the bar also happens to be home base for a gang of vampires, and the brothers and their hostages have to fight their way out.

TMR 061 Napoleon Dynamite

Published: March 9, 2021, 4:46 a.m.
Duration: 1 hour 47 minutes 17 seconds

This week on Total Movie Recall, we try to decide whether this is a charming, unique film about staying true to yourself, or a nightmarish descent into the insanity that comes with living in a barren, desolate landscape like rural Idaho, where the Uncle Ricos of the world keep subterranean dungeons for unsuspecting Debs. This might say more about where our heads are at right now than about this beloved comedy.

Duration: 1 hour 56 minutes 28 seconds

This week on Total Movie Recall, these two born-insecure honkies break down the seminal Blaxploitation movie of 1975 and do a pathetic job of trying to reconcile its progressive vision of black empowerment with the misogyny of the pimp game. It gets complicated.

TMR 057 Heat

Published: Feb. 7, 2021, 9:19 p.m.
Duration: 1 hour 34 minutes 46 seconds

This week on Total Movie Recall, Ryan stares out the window of his furniture-less modernist home at the endless, uncaring ocean while Steve sleeps on the floor with his hand gripped around his pistol. The pseudo-philosophy of this movie seems deeper than it is because it\\u2019s endlessly reflected in all the glass buildings of Michael Mann\\u2019s uber-masculine vision. Sure, it may be pretentious, but that\\u2019s the point, and if you\\u2019ve got a problem with that, I will take you down, because we ain\\u2019t exactly doin\\u2019 thrill-seeker podcasts with \\u201cBorn to Lose\\u201d tattoos on our chests.

Duration: 1 hour 39 minutes 39 seconds

This week on Total Movie Recall, Steve and Ryan discover that there\\u2019s actually an antidote to getting punched really, really hard. The cultural divide proves too much for Ryan in this wild, fantastic, hallucinatory Kung Fu epic of many names. The story is incomprehensible, the fights are nonsensical, but Steve still finds it defensible, while Ryan finds the editing reprehensible. There\\u2019s no reason for this rhyme.

Set during the Yuen Dynasty, many sects compete for possession of the two golden swords which contain the secret to dominance of the world of martial arts. The first faction, led by Shaolin, consists of Shaolin, Wu Tang, Ngo Mai, Kun Lun, Hung Tung and Wah Shan. The second is the Ming Sect, otherwise known as the Fire Sect or Evil Sect, led by branch leaders Queen of Purple Dragon, King of White Eagle, King of Gold Lion and King of Green Bat. A student of Wu Tang, befriends Gold Lion and marries the daughter of White Eagle. He is killed for the secret of the location of the missing sword. His infant son witnesses this and vows revenge on the heads of the sect. Unfortunately he has a jinx which prevents him from learning martial arts.

TMR 053 The Devil's Advocate

Published: Jan. 10, 2021, 7:29 p.m.
Duration: 1 hour 39 minutes 54 seconds

This week on Total Movie Recall, it\\u2019s Steve\\u2019s turn to not get it when Ryan forces him to snooze this way through the 1997 hambone, The Devil\\u2019s Advocate. This movie has it all -- a grand guignol of sex, violence, operatic depictions of Hell and Satan, Keanu swinging and missing, Pacino putting his blood pressure medication to the test -- and yet, somehow, it\\u2019s still boring! Please don\\u2019t waste Steve\\u2019s time with these faux-provocations. Show him something really controversial, like a basketball game.

The Devil\'s Advocate (1997)

d. Taylor Hackford

Based on the novel by Andrew Neiderman

Starring:
Keanu Reeves
Al Pacino

Aspiring Florida defense lawyer Kevin Lomax accepts a high-powered position at a New York law firm headed by legal shark John Milton. As Kevin moves up in the firm\'s ranks, his wife, Mary Ann, has several frightening, mystical experiences that begin to warp her sense of reality. With the stakes getting higher with each case, Kevin quickly learns that his mentor is planning a far greater evil than simply winning without scruples.

Duration: 1 hour 42 minutes 29 seconds

This week on Total Movie Recall, Ryan gets his hipster comedy credentials revoked after Steve makes him pay $3.99 to watch the 1994 not-so-classic comedy, Cabin Boy. Ryan simply cannot understand the cache this movie has in the \\u201calt-comedy\\u201d world, or as he likes to call it, the \\u201cnon-comedy\\u201d world (now that\\u2019s funny!). Steve would explain it, but you just, like, don\\u2019t get it man.

Nathanial Mayweather is a spoiled rich kid whose plans for a ritzy Hawaiian cruise backfire, finding him lost at sea with a gang of salty old sailors. When his crusty cabin mates get a whiff of his highfalutin attitude, they give him every rotten chore on the boat -- and take him on an absurdist adventure through Hell\'s Bucket!

TMR 051 Holiday Special The Nightmare Before Christmas

Published: Dec. 29, 2020, 5:51 a.m.
Duration: 1 hour 29 minutes 21 seconds

This week on the Total Movie Recall Holiday Special, Steve and Ryan visit the mopey, gothy early 90s when Generation X looked to the high school Gloom King Tim Burton to express their so dark vision of Christmas. Stop motion animation is such a labor intensive craft that creates beautiful visions that aren\\u2019t all that interesting, which is going to enrage a bunch of high school Wiccans that love this movie. It does look great, though.

Tim Burton\'s\\xa0The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

d. Henry Selick

Starring:
Danny Elfman
Chris Sarandon
Catherine O\'Hara
William Hickey
Paul Reubens

The film follows the misadventures of Jack Skellington, Halloweentown\'s beloved pumpkin king, who has become bored with the same annual routine of frightening people in the "real world." When Jack accidentally stumbles on Christmastown, all bright colors and warm spirits, he gets a new lease on life\\xa0-- he plots to bring Christmas under his control by kidnapping Santa Claus and taking over the role. But Jack soon discovers even the best-laid plans of mice and skeleton men can go seriously awry.

TMR 050 Children of Men

Published: Dec. 7, 2020, 10:37 a.m.
Duration: 1 hour 50 minutes 3 seconds

This week on Total Movie Recall, things get grim and a little too close to 2020 reality for comfort. Definitely don\\u2019t watch this movie if you\\u2019re fresh out of rehab, which Ryan can tell you all about. The future is bleak, but if it\\u2019s also as ruggedly handsome as Clive Owen is and has the greatest single-take of all time, it might not be so bad. This is also one of the greatest movies of all time, just to be clear about it.

This week on Total Movie Recall, Steve holds Ryan\\u2019s hair back while he cries and dry heaves and rocks back and forth like his cat just died, because there has never been a movie more perfectly designed to make him cry like The Sixth Sense. Misunderstood children? Check. Put-upon mothers just trying their best? Check. An exasperated but committed psychologist just trying to figure out how to reach this kid? Double check. Get your tissues for this one.

He is too afraid to tell anyone about his anguish, except child psychologist Dr. Malcolm Crowe.\\xa0As Dr. Crowe tries to uncover the truth about Cole\'s supernatural abilities, the consequences for client and therapist are a jolt that awakens them both to something unexplainable.

Published: Nov. 16, 2020, 3:12 a.m.
Duration: 1 hour 34 minutes 33 seconds

This week on Total Movie Recall, we acknowledge that The Wizard of Oz is, yes, a classic. However, it\\u2019s missing a certain je ne sais quoi, and we try to put our fingers on exactly what it needed. We conclude that classic, whimsical children\\u2019s film needed more childhood lobotomy, forced imprisonment, Queens pulling their own heads off, and Veruca Salt. Or Fairuza Balk? Potato potato.

Dorothy discovers she is back in the land of Oz, and finds the yellow brick road is now a pile of rubble, and the Emerald City is in ruins. Discovering that the magical land is now under the control of an evil empire, she sets off to rescue the scarecrow, the tin man and the cowardly lion with the help of her new friends.

TMR 046 Leprechaun

Published: Nov. 9, 2020, 3:59 a.m.
Duration: 1 hour 24 minutes 24 seconds

This week on Total Movie Recall, Steve and Ryan wonder why kids are scared of the stupidest boogeymen. The Leprechaun haunted Ryan for his entire childhood, waiting in dark corners, making it unable for him to pee in the middle of the night. If only he had watched the movie when he was seven years old, and seen how stupid, unscary, unwitty, and half-assed this boring, lazy movie is, he wouldn\\u2019t have wasted another second being scared. The Leprechaun can\\u2019t even be bothered to turn limericks into dirty rhymes. Nantucket! It rhymes itself!

Leprechaun (1993)

d. Mark Jones

Starring:
Warwick Davis
Jennifer Aniston
Ken Olandt

Dan O\'Grady steals 100 gold coins from a leprechaun while on vacation in Ireland. The leprechaun follows him home, but Dan locks the him in a crate, held at bay by a four-leaf clover. Ten years later, J.D. Redding and his daughter, Tory, rent O\'Grady\'s property for the summer. When their new neighbors accidentally release the leprechaun, he goes on a murderous rampage to reclaim his gold.

This week on Total Movie Recall, Steve and Ryan put on their codpieces and fret over the innocence of teenage girls around David Bowie. Don\\u2019t get us wrong, we love this movie, but why does this charming children\\u2019s tale have a character named after the part of the anatomy responsible for transporting sperm? And why do so many sequences resemble sperm? And if all of these things are symbols for sperm, what does the Bog of Eternal Stench represent? We shudder to think\\u2026

Duration: 1 hour 25 minutes 30 seconds

This week on Total Movie Recall, Steve and Ryan offend approximately 1/7th of the world\\u2019s population, which has historically gone very well. Ryan\\u2019s love of fairy tale settings don\\u2019t truck with Steve, who favors Disney\\u2019s gritty, street-level crime drama Aladdin. Ryan gets vulnerable about the deterioration of his mental health in this dumpster fire world we have, and Steve, ever a good man and a good friend, reaches out. We encourage you to reach out too. Because everything sucks right now, and you need to connect with your fellow humans to survive. Also, this is the worst Disney princess ever.

When street rat Aladdin frees a genie from a lamp, he finds his wishes granted. However, he soon finds that the evil has other plans for the lamp -- and for Princess Jasmine. But can Aladdin save Princess Jasmine and his love for her after she sees that he isn\'t quite what he appears to be?

This week on Total Movie Recall, one man\\u2019s fun trash is another man\\u2019s not-fun trash. Steve gets typically indignant at Ryan\\u2019s casual, cruel dismissal of somebody\\u2019s labor of love, and Ryan reaches heretofore unplumbed depths of his warped psyche, exploring the lingering effects of watching movies like Killer Klowns at too tender of an age. This is what happens when a little boy lets teenage girls bully him into watching movies. Ryan\\u2019s therapist has her work cut out for her this week.

Duration: 2 hours 23 seconds

This week on Total Movie Recall, Ryan takes us on a journey through time and memory to show us his origins as a film-lover, a man, and, lo, a human. Sure, he could have said his favorite movie was some snooty, intellectual piece of New Hollywood cinema, but that would be a lie. It\\u2019s a VHS that his father got him as part of a $5.99 Big Mac giveaway at McDonald\\u2019s, and he was never the same. He makes himself vulnerable before you, and of course, Steve makes him regret it.

TMR 039 Scarface (1983)

Published: Sept. 21, 2020, 5:35 a.m.
Duration: 1 hour 48 minutes 55 seconds

This week on Total Movie Recall, we destroy our nasal septums with 1983\\u2019s Scarface. Ryan presents a cogent, detailed thesis on this film\\u2019s central character as a metaphor for the all-eating, never-satiating, soul-crushing machine that is capitalism, and Steve counters with \\u201cNo he\\u2019s not.\\u201d Touch\\xe9 Steve\\u2026 touch\\xe9.

Scarface (1983)

d. Brian De Palma

Starring:
Al Pacino
Michelle Pfeiffer

Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio
Robert Loggia

After getting a green card in exchange for assassinating a Cuban government official, Tony Montana (Al Pacino) stakes a claim on the drug trade in Miami. Viciously murdering anyone who stands in his way, Tony eventually becomes the biggest drug lord in the state, controlling nearly all the cocaine that comes through Miami. But increased pressure from the police, wars with Colombian drug cartels and his own drug-fueled paranoia serve to fuel the flames of his eventual downfall.

TMR 038 Babe: Pig in the City

Published: Sept. 14, 2020, 5:24 a.m.
Duration: 1 hour 14 minutes 34 seconds

This week on Total Movie Recall, we watched the Sophie\\u2019s Choice of talking pig movies \\u2014 Babe: Pig in the City. You might remember it as a sweet children\\u2019s fantasy movie about cute talking animals, but that\\u2019s just your brain trying to protect you from the harrowing nightmare that is this film. Dogs are hung from chains and drowned in front of us. Crippled Jack Russell Terriers are killed and teased with the sweet release from their worldly limitations, only to be cruelly pulled back into their wheelchair prison. Ryan and Steve started this movie as boys, but left it as men. Depressed, traumatized men.

TMR 037 Amelie

Duration: 1 hour 33 minutes 56 seconds

This week on Total Movie Recall, we find a new zest for life in 2001\\u2019s Amelie. Steve gets wistful recalling his time working in a porn shop, and Ryan reveals his ignorance about Paris. But is it ignorance? Don\\u2019t we kind of all know what Paris is really like? Smelly and smoky and rude? Not according to Amelie. Paris is a place of magical realism, true love, and tastefully decorated porn shops.

"Am\\xe9lie" is a fanciful comedy about a young woman who discretely orchestrates the lives of the people around her, creating a world exclusively of her own making. Shot in over 80 Parisian locations, acclaimed director Jean-Pierre Jeunet ("Delicatessen"; "The City of Lost Children") invokes his incomparable visionary style to capture the exquisite charm and mystery of modern-day Paris through the eyes of a beautiful ingenue.

This week on Total Movie Recall, we stare into the void and find out that hipsters are terrible people that treat the mentally ill like zoo animals and Ryan swears he\\u2019ll never wear skinny jeans again. Steve declares that the word \\u201cgenius\\u201d is thrown around way too much and that it should only be applied to people who discover new kinds of particles or create nudity mods for video games.

The Fly (1986)

d. David Cronenberg

Starring:
Jeff Goldblum
Geena Davis
John Getz\\xa0

This week on Total Movie Recall, Steve and Ryan enter the telepod together and come out as a new, single entity \\u2014 the Brundlehost. They get sentimental revisiting the powerful tragedy of David Cronenberg\'s The Fly, and Ryan acts like he\'s the first person to ever notice that Geena Davis is one of the great beauties of our time, and Steve tries to break down particle physics and quantum mechanics so even a dumb Philistine like Ryan can understand it. Join us as we transform and leave our frail, useless flesh behind, but watch your step \\u2014 that\'s my ear you\'re standing on.

When scientist Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) completes his teleportation device, he decides to test its abilities on himself. Unbeknownst to him, a housefly slips in during the process, leading to a merger of man and insect. Initially, Brundle appears to have undergone a successful teleportation, but\\xa0the fly\'s cells begin to take over his body. As he becomes increasingly fly-like, Brundle\'s girlfriend (Geena Davis) is horrified as the person she once loved deteriorates into a monster.

O.J. Simpson
Fred Ward
Kathleen Freeman
Anna Nicole Smith

This week on Total Move Recall, Steve holds Ryan\'s white, cisgendered, ignorant feet to the fire as they revisit and are repulsed by the humor of The Naked Gun 33 & \\u2153: The Final Insult.\\xa0 Steve is appalled by the mainstream sensibilities of 1994 when white men had the right to mock and ridicule whoever they wanted, and Ryan tries to distract people from his antiquated views by talking about his stupid Master\'s Degree. "Ooh look at me! I\'m an educated, patriarchal monster!"

Police Squad Lt. Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) is retired and spending time with his new wife, Jane (Priscilla Presley), when he\'s called back into action by Capt. Ed Hocken (George Kennedy). A terrorist named Rocco (Fred Ward) plans to bomb the Academy Awards ceremony, so Frank goes undercover as Phil Donahue to try and head off disaster.

Flavio Bucci
Udo Kier
Joan Bennett

This week on Total Movie Recall, we test our feminist bona fides and flex our rigorous academic muscles dissecting the precise and not-at-all haphazard imagery of Dario Argento\'s giallo horror film, Suspiria. Ryan fantasizes about disappearing into a Black Forest fairytale world where there are no problems and noted ballerina enthusiast Steve remains unimpressed with the technical rigors of this film. Cool colors, though.

Suzy (Jessica Harper) travels to Germany to attend ballet school. When she arrives, late on a stormy night, no one lets her in, and she sees Pat (Eva Ax\\xe9n), another student, fleeing from the school. When Pat reaches her apartment, she is murdered. The next day, Suzy is admitted to her new school, but has a difficult time settling in. She hears noises, and often feels ill. As more people die, Suzy uncovers the terrifying secret history of the place.
