Some things are hard to put your finger on. They might even be called untouchable.
And this weeks episode is about a move called:
The Untouchables
Spoiler alart: There is in fact, a lot of touching in this film
Perhaps too much for some.
If...
they are afraid to be touched by a Hollywood cinemati...
In life, there are many times when we are told to STOP!
Sometimes we don't stop when we should just Go.
Ponder on that for a minute or two...
Just kidding.
Don't ever think unless; it's the only thing you can do.
Why?
'Cause it's boring and quiet.
Mostly.
This episode probably could have won the Academy award for having a short title. There should be a category for that, right?
Hells yeah, there should...

Lee and Chris re-cast this classic film from George Lucas.

Hoosiers
Who are the Hoosiers?
Well, if you listen to this podcast, you’re gonna find out who the Hoosiers were.
The Hoosiers were a basketball team, but they were more than a team.
They were actually a group/team of actors in a cast in this movie.
They’re acting as a team and we all know that teamwork makes the dream work.
And that DreamWorks is a movie studio.
This is a sports movie.

This week's Episode of Total Casting Recall.

Heat... because there is no other way.
Got it?
I'm kidding. I was coming in 'hot' so to speak.
So, in the late 1600's when the Earth was discovered and then settled- moviemaking began. It was tedious at first and many lost their lives and later some lost their lunch.
But... it was on one of those tumultuous evenings after several fatal pratfalls and lethal plot devices, casting was discovered.
Soon re-casting became the...
It's that time again.
That time of year.
When we all can stop and think, smell the flowers or just plain stop.
Don't you feel better?
Good.
Before the internet craze; there was a movie that inspired cybercrime before today's world of fear based and impulse buying of crapola at the mere tap of a smart device button..
And no, that movie was not UHF.
It was Sneakers. This movie stars Robert Redford, Dan Akyroyd, Sidney Potier, ...
We've all been there.
Right?
I don't need to explain myself.
But I will.
Confidentially... speaking.
Which brings us to UFOs or UPAs or INTERGALACTIC VAGABONDS as I personally refer to them.
When I have the time.
To refer to them.
Who are they?
Where do they come from?
Are they friend or foe?
Who knows? I don't. But what I do know is that....

When in the course of events, especially the special events. Like limited special offers or while supplies last; types of events.
I left out human events. Or other species as well. No one should be left out of this. Even non-living things like rocks or clouds. Or leaves. If they're dead, of course and like, bones of dead people. Because I've already included bones still inside people that are alive because that counts as living. Ri...

SO, I MARRIED AN AXE MURDERER... but it's not what you're thinking.
Or it could be. I don't know, okay?!
