Merry Twilightmas err body! It is the greatest time of year so we are here to spread some Twilightmas cheer and discuss the greatest franchise of all the times, The Twilight Saga. We have vampires, we have werewolves, we have love triangles and battles, Six-packs, we got pre-oscar Rami Malek, there’s our beautiful baby boy R-Patt, and of course, Kristen Stewart. Sailor gleefully watched this entire franchise for the first time so we can discuss each film in-depth with intellectual and thought-provoking analysis. All kidding aside, Total Recast does want to say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to our listeners and supporters while bringing something as silly and as stupid for you to enjoy during your Christmas break. All four hours of it. Yes, four hours.

Sailor and Kane review and recast Sam Mendes' 2002 crime film Road to Perdition that stars Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, Daniel Craig, and Jude Law. We discuss why this fantastic movie isn't talked about as one of the best movies of the 2000s or really any best-of list.

It's a film that is A+ in every aspect but feels like it has never been given the credit it deserves. Listen as we try to figure out why and let you know everything we love about this underrated classic.

From Sailor and Kane, we want to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and decided to share our thoughts on this Turkey Day classic, Planes, Trains and Automobiles. We are joined by a special guest, Duke Karlston, to review and recast this John Hughes comedy that stars Steve Martin as Neal Page, a high-strung marketing executive, and John Candy as Del Griffith, a goodhearted but annoying shower curtain ring salesman. They share a three-day odyssey of misadventures trying to get Neal home to Chicago in time for Thanksgiving with his family. The film received critical acclaim, with many critics praising it for Hughes branching out from teen comedies, and for the performances of Candy and Martin.

We decided to put a twist on our normal recasting format where Kane plays studio exec as Sailor and Duke try to sell their casting picks to get them selected for the film.

We discuss John Hughes as he transitioned from teen movies to more adult and family films.

We also try to answer why this underperformed at the box office with three 80s icons involved.

"Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living, barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving, they just use your mind, and they never give you credit, it's enough to drive you crazy if you let it" Oh yes, there will be singing as Sailor and Kane cover the 1980 comedy 9 to 5 directed by Colin Higgins. It stars Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton as three working women who live out their fantasies of getting even with and overthrowing the company's autocratic, "sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot" boss, played by Dabney Coleman.

During our review and recast of this movie, we try and answer why this comedy isn't talked about alongside other 80 comedy classics. We also discuss how timeless and how relevant the themes are here.

Let us know what you think and if you remember the Jane Fonda workout tapes as fondly as Kane does.

Happy Halloween! And for the spooky season, Sailor and Kane are picking their directors for modern updates of the original Universal Monsters films. We discuss our visions for the updated versions of The Mummy, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Bride of Frankenstein, Frankenstein, and Dracula while also hand-selecting the director we want to helm each project.

Let us know what you think of our picks and which directors would you like to see give their take on these horror classics.
