recast

It’s a new month, and that means it’s a new episode of Repodcasting! Kyle Marshall returns (@thekylemarshall) to help Lucia recast Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane in the 2005 movie musical adaptation of the stage musical based on a non-musical movie, The Producers (that’s a mouthful!). Send your own miscast movie suggestions to repodcasting@gmail.com. Facebook and Instagram: repodcasting

After the news of Marvel's casting of the upcoming Fantastic Four, we decided to drop our formerly Patreon-exclusive mini-sode (from over a year ago!) to see how close we got to nail this cast! Discover how Cory, Tanner and Nick's predictions measured up to the star-studded reality slated for Marvel's 2025 epic.

Who's got the chops to embody the genius of Reed Richards and the grace of Sue Storm?  And who is worthy enough to don Dr. Doom's iconic mask and give us the iconic villain we deserve? (He's yet to be cast, so maybe we get it right!)

Will Mr. Fantastic and Dr. Victor Von Doom's cerebral clash redefine superhero rivalries? We dissect potential story arcs and the seismic shifts in the post-Endgame MCU, sowing seeds for an intricately woven narrative web.

Join us for a conversation brimming with audacious predictions, insider musings, and passionate Marvel fandom.

Get ready for a romp through the reel as Cory and Nick draft our ultimate cinematic football teams, cherry-picking from the fictional greats of film lore. Snuggle up with your team jersey and a bucket of popcorn; it's time to merge the end zone with the silver screen.

Imagine Al Pacino leading a locker room with Denzel Washington by his side – that's the kind of star-studded coaching dream team we're potentially talking about. We argue coaching philosophies, play armchair quarterback, and share a laugh over some unexpected surprises. We're not just assembling a team; we're celebrating the stories that have shaped our view of the gridiron, from the heartwarming to the downright hilarious.

 We're tossing the pigskin with characters that brought more than just athletics to the big screen; they've brought life lessons, belly laughs, and sometimes even animals. So join us as we relive the glory, the drama, and the quirky moments that make football movies an unforgettable part of our cultural tapestry. It's a fantasy draft where film buffs and football fans score big.

What if 'Mean Girls' (the original 2004 version) was recast in 1984?

Imagine slipping into a time machine and landing in the heyday of 80s teen cinema—what would Tina Fey's "Mean Girls" look like with the stars of that rad decade? That's exactly the tantalizing scenario we chew over with the fabulous Aly Dale, as we embark on a wild ride through North Shore High with a retro twist.  Tune in for a podcast that's as much a celebration of "Mean Girls" as it is a playful foray into the art of the hypothetical cast.

Strap in for a time-traveling journey through cinema as we juxtapose the teen movie landscapes of the 2000s against the backdrop of 1984's silver screen hits. With Aly in tow, we delve into the iconic films of 1984 that charmed audiences and set box office registers a-ringing, from "Splash" to "Beverly Hills Cop." Meanwhile, we don't shy away from debating the finer points of Roger Ebert's insights or pondering the tantalizing 'what-ifs' of alternate casting histories. This episode isn't just a podcast—it's a love letter to the film that shaped many filmgoers our age.

Wrap up your visit to 1984 with a heartfelt nod to the actors who enlivened "Mean Girls," as we pay tribute to Rachel McAdams' tour-de-force performance and reflect on Lindsay Lohan's Hollywood journey. The road from child star to adult actor is fraught with challenges, and we examine this transition through the lens of other famous names in the industry. Whether you're here for the '80s nostalgia, a fresh take on a beloved film, or the simple joy of "what might have been," our episode is the ultimate high school movie makeover, served with a side of cultural reflection and a dash of whimsy. We can only hope this episode is worthy of the title "fetch!"

What if 'Hook' was recast in 1984?

Rewind your clocks and get ready to sprinkle some pixie dust as we reimagine the classic film "Hook" with a twist—it's 1984! Joined by the our friend from across the pon, Ash Hurry, complete with his British perspective and charm, we embark on a nostalgic journey through Neverland, re-casting our favorite characters with the era's brightest stars. 

As we navigate through the cinematic landscape of 1984, we ponder the staying power of films that continue to resonate with us. Why do certain stories, like those of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys, capture our hearts time and time again? We investigate the emotional depth and critical reception of family-oriented movies, challenging the notion that whimsy can't walk hand in hand with quality. The episode pays homage to the magic woven by the original "Hook" while exploring how the top films and Oscar winners of 1984 could have influenced its early debut.

From the enigmatic Captain Hook to the effervescent Tinkerbell, we find out who could play these iconic characters in the mid 80s! Hit play to see what we ended up with!

We'll discuss the common pitfalls of sequels and how Addams Family Values managed to avoid them, and  compare the Addams Family sequel with other family features of the 90s.

We'll talk about the untapped potential of that missing third movie, and how Raul Julia's untimely passing in 1993 thwarted the possibility.

We're taking you on a speculative journey where we explore how this cult classic Halloween movie would have been transformed had it landed a decade earlier. We talk about the ins and outs of the kooky characters, the subtle balance between dark humor and wit, and the influence the 60s TV show would have on this hypothetical release.

Cory and Nick strip down the saga of Jason Voorhees right back to its roots while threading a humorous twist. In this mini-sode, they re-imagine the infamous 'Marry/Sex/ Kill' game and apply it to the franchise, sparking a lively debate about which movie they feel is the best (Marry), their personal favorites (Sex), and those that perhaps should've never graced the screen (Kill).

They don't just stick to the surface level either, digging deep into the evolution of Jason Voorhees, dissecting the iconic hockey mask, its influence on the horror genre, and how it stacks up against other slasher movie villains.

Drawing parallels with the original Star Wars trilogy, they analyze the narrative patterns and examine the attempts to rebrand Jason as a more formidable foe. Cory also expose the gritty details of the legal battle behind the scenes, which threatened to capsize the franchise.

Its all round up by with Cory personal ranking all the movies in the franchise. So, whether you're a die-hard fan of Jason Voorhees, a horror movie enthusiast, or you're just here for the banter, this episode promises laughter, nostalgia, and some well-intended critique.

What if 'Mars Attacks!' was recast in 2011?

Ash challenges Cory and Nick to come up with a new cast for the sci fi retro comedy/satire by Tim Burton. We buckle up for a wild ride through the plot, characters, and inspiration drawn from 60s trading cards, and speculate on the movie's chances of success if it had hit our screens in 2011, a year swarming with remarkable films like The Adjustment Bureau and Crazy, Stupid, Love.

How much will this invasion film change by bringing it forward? As we delve into the casting decisions, leading up to the final casting, weighing up the charisma and eccentricity of Jack Nicholson,  before making our final selection for the dual role. We explore the ideal combination of energy, eccentricity, and delivery needed for a modern remake of Mars Attacks!, and we turn the spotlight on potential contenders for each character.

 Will Nick step out of character and destroy a film Cory loves? And will we get through this episode without spoiling other movies? Join us for this entertaining trip down memory lane, as we give Tim Burton's Mars Attacks a fresh spin, taking it from 1996 to 2011, and casting it with the stars of the era. Whether you're a movie buff, a Mars Attacks fan, or just looking for a good laugh, this episode promises to be a treat!

What’s up, dudes? It’s minisode time! This time the instant action classic and best new Christmas content of 2022, “Violent Night,” gets the recast treatment! David Harbour is a disillusioned Santa caught up in a hostage situation involving a wealthy family. Had this been made in the ‘80s, who would’ve played Santa? What about the villainous Scrooge? The tyrannical matriarch Gertrude? So grab your sledgehammer, down some cookies, and take this episode out!

Check us out on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Totally Rad Christmas Mall & Arcade, Teepublic.com, or TotallyRadChristmas.com! Later, dudes!
