181 - Total Recall (1990) w/ Phil Smith

“You are what you do. A man is defined by his actions, not his memory.”
We may be starting to wind down Arnie April 2: Austrian Boogaloo, but we’re still managing to come in HOT on this episode! And what luck - we’re joined by Stephen’s college roommate and all-around good guy Phil Smith to talk about Arnie’s last straight-up ‘80s action role! Along the way, we cast a Philip K. Dick biopic, espouse our shared love of practical effects, test Tucker’s good-bad dichotomy of Verhoeven films, discuss the best version of Blade Runner to watch, rate the scientific accuracy of this movie, and manage to squeeze in the briefest of Mighty Ducks deep dives! You aren’t gonna want to miss this one!
When he’s not living the life of a symbiote on the belly of a freedom fighter, you can find him hanging out on the internet here:
