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.
