Episode 205 - Total Recall (2012)

Welcome to your favorite movie podcast, Not a Bomb! We take a second look at some of the biggest box office bombs in cinema history to see if they truly deserve their infamous reputations. Our podcast is launching into outer space this "Re-MAY-ke" month as we explore the sci-fi adventure of 2012's Total Recall. Reimagining the beloved Paul Verhoeven classic was quite the challenge, considering its iconic status in the sci-fi/action realm. The 2012 adaptation replaces certain sci-fi aspects of the original with heightened action scenes, featuring more leaps, gunplay, and chases. Additionally, this version includes what could arguably be one of the most contentious performances ever dissected on our show. Intrigued to learn more? Tune in to discover who we're talking about! And don't forget, "Get your ass to the podcast!" Total Recall (2012) is helmed by director Len Wiseman and features a cast including Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston, John Cho, and Bill Nighy.
