We recall The Parent Trap (1961) for our 12-year anniversary! Despite the fact that none of us have seen it, we do a pretty good job. We talk about California, stools, and of course, divorce. You're welcome.
It's our 11-year anniversary! We celebrate by watching the original version of one of our least favorite movies over our 11 years, Freaky Friday. This one came out in 1976 though and has Jodie Foster in it. Will we love it or will it be another disaster?
To celebrate TEN YEARS of Totes Recall, we forced Molly to recall Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey (1993) with us. Jokes on us because that movie took us all on our own incredible journeys. Nothing like animal danger and aging dogs to make you FEEL.
Thank you so much for your support over the last 10 years. Totes Heads are the best!
We recall Willow (1988) for our nine-year anniversary! We cover everything from Val Kilmer to prophecies to golf! Thank you so much for listening over these last nine years even when we go wildly off topic.
To celebrate our 8-year anniversary, we return to the Batman movies of our youth and finish with one that started it all, Batman (1989). Will we remember which villains are in this one? Probably not! Plus, we talk about Prince, Vicki Vale's career, and branding.
We recall One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961) for our 100th episode and 7-year anniversary! It’s a Disney animated feature about a lot of dogs and a woman who wants to kidnap and kill them for their skin. There’s a lot of animal danger. Don’t tell Molly.
It's our six-year anniversary! So we ditch the anni-venn diagram to watch a movie we thought we had already watched, Face/Off (1997). We remember peaches, insane facial expressions, and birds. So many birds.
Come on and slam, and welcome to the (Totes Recall five-year anniversary) jam! We recall Space Jam (1996), a film featuring famous basketball players and cartoon characters. Bill Murray is also there. Plus, Joe Prado stops by!
“There’s no crying in baseball,” is a line from this movie, we think. We recall A League of Their Own (1992). There is sisterhood, Tom Hanks is a cad, and an annoying kid becomes Hanks’ nemesis. Plus, we prove once and for all that none of us knows anything about baseball.
And also, Happy 4th Anniversary to us! Thank you all for listening and supporting the show. We love you.
In celebration of our three-year anniversary, we recall the film that is in the center of our anni-venndiagram, Batman & Robin (1997). We remember enough to know that it is A) a Batman movie and B) stars Arnold Schwarzenegger. Plus, we discover our new favorite person, Joe Prado, captain of transportation.
Totes Recall just entered its terrible twos by recalling this terrible 2012 remake of Total Recall. Typically we try to watch a movie we've all seen, but this time we (p)recall the movie based on the original. We look forward to some crazy Arnie-style acting, Mars, and tummy muppets. Spoiler alert: we are sorely disappointed.
On our two-year anniversary, we would like to take this moment to thank all of our listeners for your continued support. Y'all are the best.
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.
