We recall Ernest Scared Stupid (1991), a movie that involves far too much mucus. There's milk, trolls, and...Eartha Kitt?!
We recall The Sixth Sense (1999), an eerie and heart-wrenching movie about a boy who can see dead people. We talk about Glen Powell, and oh, we talk about the movie too. Happy Halloween!
We recall The Birds (1963), a Hitchcock horror film where birds mysteriously start attacking a small town including a couple who is flirting in the most insane way. We agree geese are mean and we try to decide how many birds we could take on. Happy Halloween from all of us at Totes Recall!
We recall Casper (1995), a movie about a dead boy who has issues with boundaries. We discuss ghost rules, trains, and the dancing baby. Happy Halloween!
We recall Addams Family Values (1993) in celebration of spooky and kooky season. There's a baby with a mustache, maybe Elizabeth Banks, and LOTS of innuendo that we don't agree on. Plus, we have a visit from the classic Totes Recall character, Jet Pack Dog!
We recall Hocus Pocus (1993), a movie about three witches who return to the town of Salem after a VIRGIN lights a black flame candle. There’s also a talking cat, a horny bus driver, plus Garry and Penny Marshall are there.
We recall The Blair Witch Project (1999). A found footage film where everyone is real and not an actor. It might be the same plot as Hansel and Gretel.
We recall Ghostbusters (1984), a film about hungry ghosts and horny people. We find out too much about other lists Jaquette has completed, discover the true meaning of poltergeist, and eventually get to Rumpelstiltskin.
We recall E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) because we're pretty sure there's a Halloween scene in the movie. Molly remembers E.T.'s mom picking him up, we don't remember the astronauts, and Beth just wants Mary (the mom) to have a nice time.
Happy Halloween! We can't tell if we are more scared by this movie or how bad our memories are. We recall Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990). We remember a lady gremlin, an Einstein gremlin, and maybe there's a drawer gremlin? Beth bases her entire "recollection" on her memory of a Key & Peele sketch. And Joe Dante makes his triumphant return.
We recalled Psycho (1960) as a film about a man who dresses as his dead mother to commit murder. It turns out it's really about an adult who drinks milk. Like, a good portion of this episode is about milk. #milk
Subtitle: Molly's Redemption.
For the spooky month of October, we recalled the classic love story of a girl and her dead boyfriend, Ghost (1990). Molly gets a second chance to review the movie, we decide if it really does "have it all," and we get into the intricacies of ghost physics.
It's showtime! Happy Halloween from all of us at Totes Recall. In celebration of all things creepy and crawly, we watched Tim Burton's Beetlejuice (1988). Beth tells us why Beetlejuice is her nemesis, we recall bureaucracy in the afterlife, and we try to remember what VHS means.
Happy Halloween from Totes Recall! To celebrate the spooky times, the crew recalls The Silence of the Lambs (1991). They remember Buffalo Bill dancing like a Harlem Globetrotter. Molly remembers a moment of levity. And they each predict their number one creep time.
