Cast-A-Role

A movie podcast that has absolutely nothing to do with cooking. Three friends take some of cinema’s much loved (or unloved) films and, for better or worse, stir in a different cast (it’s usually worse). A must listen for film and comedy fans alike. Cast-A-Role is filled with delicious humour, bad language, dubious opinions, and delectable movie trivia.

    Episode 34 - Metal Gear Solid The Movie

    https://www.patreon.com/c/castarolepodcast/membership The team are back with another Cast A Role - it's video game movie pitch time! It's also Jim's birthday. This week, rather than discussing what they've been watching, they talk about what they've been playing. Sam reveals a life lesson. Nick reveals his new-found cult leadership. Then the crew get into one of the most iconic video game franchises of all time - Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid - with Jim, Sam and Nick each pitching their own vision for bringing the game to the big screen. Prepare yourself, one pitch heads in a VERY interesting direction. We end by revealing our first-ever Patreon member film pick, followed by a special gaming edition of Audio Aperitif.

    Episode 33 - Spaceballs, Review and Recast

    www.patreon.com/castarolepodcast You voted in your masses and asked for it, so we did it, and with a sequel in the works, it made perfect sense. We have reviewed and recast, Mel Brook's 1987 Sci-Fi spoof, Spaceballs. This week Jim gives his thoughts on The Substance, which leads to a little extra discussion with Sam Nick gets put under the spotlight Jim has a mare (or 2) Together we come up with much better jokes (seriously Mel, give us a call) During our recasting, all hell breaks loose as Jim has a case of mistaken identity And we wrap things up with the return of Audio Aperitif

  3. Episode 32 - Nosferatu Review

    JAN 28

    Episode 32 - Nosferatu Review

    How have we already made it through January? Well, we certainly aren't slowing down, and Nick has finally managed to get Jim and Sam to sit down and watch a horror film. The guys went together to the cinema to sit down and watch Robert Eggers, Nosferatu. We begin this week by discussing the career of the recently passed David Lynch. Sam declares he's already found his film of 2025. We worked out what we believed would make up the musical to end all musicals. And we of course deep dive into Nosferatu, not before Jim has a brain fart, and Nick struggles with a date. Of course, we can't fully agree on things, have various opinions, and make plenty of bad impressions. Jim once again delays the mega-wheel and reveals to Sam and Nick that he has a little surprise for them.

  4. Episode 31 - Tremors, Review and Recast

    JAN 14

    Episode 31 - Tremors, Review and Recast

    We may be two weeks into the new year, but we are back with our first review and recasting of 2025. After the carnage brought about by Armageddon, we are left with nothing but Tremors. So that's what we're covering this time out: the 1990 Kevin Bacon hit Tremors. We start this week disguising ourselves as a food podcast with a LOT of cheese chat. Nick starts and quits a journey in anime. Jim watched a film recommended by Sam, which led to a flat earther chat. It may be a new year, but that doesn't mean Jim is any different. He makes not one but two belting comments. There are copious amounts of innuendos, followed by our recastings going in very different directions And no episode is complete without an edition of Audio Aperitif

    Episode 30 - Armageddon, Drill Hard

    We are back for what could be the last time as we count down to the new year and the possible apocalyptic event that has no doubt been predicted as we head into 2025. And it's rather fitting that we are reviewing Micheal Bay's 90's epic, Armageddon. We begin the episode this week discussing......... Pickled Eggs. Jim and Sam give their thoughts on one of cinema's biggest releases of 2024, Wicked! Nick once again questions Jim on what makes a film worthy of 5 meatballs. Nick again jumps to the defence of Vince Vaughan We discuss the mental implementation of physics. Rather than recast the film, we instead pitch our own Armageddon event films And as always we end the episode with a trip to the Megawheel and a friendly game of Audio Aperitif

    Episode 29 - Running Man, Running Home For Christmas

    We are back once again with an early Christmas present for you in the form of another delicious Cast-A-Role This time, we are traveling back to 1987 to review Arnold Schwarzenegger's futuristic action romp, The Running Man. We start this week off talking all things Christmas dinner, and the divisive Brussels sprout Nick gets reminded of something he watched in the lead-up to the recording by a rather interesting discussion As expected, the review leads to some contrasting opinions. During our recasting, Jim is left flabbergasted by Sam and Nick And we round things out with a Christmas-inspired edition of Audio Aperitif

  7. Episode 28 - Apocalypse Now, Up A River Without A Paddle

    12/03/2024

    Episode 28 - Apocalypse Now, Up A River Without A Paddle

    It's the first episode of our tricky second album, and we've set off with our best foot forward. This week we are reviewing and recasting 1979's Apocalypse Now We begin this week with Nick still trying to justify his casting of Maggie Smith for Ripley. It may be our 2nd year, but it's still very much the same old Jim. Nick and Sam struggle with Jim's apathetic opinions. Despite his opinions, Jim does an OK job at recasting. And we continue as we mean to go on, we a brand new round of Audio Aperitif.

  8. Episode 27 - Alien, The Child, The Granny and the one from Bridgerton

    11/19/2024

    Episode 27 - Alien, The Child, The Granny and the one from Bridgerton

    IT'S OUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY, AND WHAT A YEAR IT HAS BEEN!!   We started the year discussing the first film of an iconic franchise, so it's only right that we end the year discussing the first film of another iconic franchise. And what a franchise it is! We head back to 1979 to discuss Ridley Scott's Alien. Of course, Ridley Scott is still very much going strong with the recent release of Gladiator 2, and the Alien franchise is arguably stronger than ever, with the recent release of Alien: Romulus and the upcoming television series Alien: Earth. So, what do Sam, Nick, and, most importantly, Jim think of the original? This week, we start with several big announcements. Rather than discuss what we've been watching this week; we instead, discuss some of our favourite moments of the past year of Cast-A-Role. We declare our film of the year (kind of) Jim has an epiphany and does the unthinkable The is what is quite possibly the mouse BIZARRE casting choice to date. And we round out the episode with yet another Audio Aperitif. Can Jim level the score, or will Nick romp home to victory?
