21. Star Wars

We, at Totes Recall, force ourselves to awaken our memories of Star Wars (1977) Episode Four: The First One. We cover whether this is the one with ewoks, Princess Leia's snapchat, and the coolest Star Wars character, Chewbacca.

20. Love Actually

This beloved holiday classic might not be what we all remember. We recall Love Actually (2003), a movie we had forgotten is filled with fat shaming, creepy relationships, and seven-too-many plot lines.

19. Jumanji

Jumanji (1995). A game for those who seek to find a way to leave their world behind. And a movie that we think we remember pretty well. We ask the important questions. Is the lady from Frasier their aunt or mom? Who ends up winning the game? And do you know how when you make a building you need to dig a hole first?

18. Beetlejuice

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.

17. Freaky Friday

Two very unpleasant people swap bodies and learn nothing in this Lindsay Lohan-and-Jamie Lee Curtis picture. We're pretty sure we've blocked out most of Freaky Friday (2003) from our memories, but we recall what we can.

16. Big

Tom Hanks goes to bed a 12-year-old boy and wakes up a full-grown man in this beloved film, Big (1988). We try to recall what songs he plays on the floor piano, if his parents think he is at a sleepover or kidnapped, and who had top bunk. Plus, the return of a Totes fav, Did They Bang?

15. Total Recall

Get your ass to Mars! It's the one-year anniversary special of Totes Recall! In honor of our trip around the sun, we watched our namesake film, Total Recall (1990). We are almost as confused as Douglas Quaid about what really happened in this movie.

14. Jurassic Park

Hold onto your butts! We watched Steven Spielberg's action dino flick, Jurassic Park (1993). It was hard for any of us to forget the T. rex or Jeff Goldblum's performance, but what about the presence of pterodactyls or Samuel L. Jackson?

13. The Matrix

Put on your sunglasses and leather trench coat, we recall the most awesome action film of 1999, The Matrix. We discuss awesome multimillion dollar fight scenes, awesome special effects, and the awesome philosophy behind the film. Did we mention this movie is awesome? Plus, the very important discussion on whether or not we see Keanu Reeves' butt.

12. Chinatown

Chinatown (1974) is a neo-noir starring Jack Nicholson and someone else. Things happen, but we're not really sure what those things are. Then his nose gets cut up and the ending is sad. Does anyone remember what happens in this movie?

Next at Bat, 59. Totes Recall, April 2015

The Totes Recall casts stops by Next at Bat to talk about memory, movies, and podcasting. Plus, they do some solid improv.

11. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

In honor of the release of Furious 7, we recalled the best/worst movie in the series, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006). For this very special episode we strayed a bit from our regular format. This time, only one of us has seen it. Is it possible to recall a movie you've never seen? Pretty much.

10. Twister

Time to head to the basement because we recalled Twister (1996). We all remember the flying cow, but is the lead male played by Bill Pullman or Bill Paxton? Plus the world premiere of Weatherman Dan.

9. The Little Mermaid

To celebrate the season of love, we watched the most romantic film of all time, The Little Mermaid (1989). Swim through a sea of nostalgia with us as we try to remember that part where Ariel is being chased by a shark and what the difference between a mermaid and a siren is.

8. Minority Report

Bonus episode! When we came up with the idea for Totes Recall, we recorded a pilot episode that hasn't been heard by anyone but us...until now. We watched the dystopian thriller Minority Report (2002). Or was it that Futurama episode?

7. City Slickers

City Slickers (1991) is a comedy starring Billy Crystal...or so we remembered. Turns out it is a film comprised of real moment after real moment starring a baby cow named Norman. Yeehaw!

6.5 Bonus: Home Alone Theory

Here's a special bonus episode of Totes Recall. After we turned off the mics, Beth shared a thought she had surrounding our "Kevin McCallister is dead" theory. We turned the mics back on, and here is what happened.
