    Total Recall: Did Quaid Ever Actually Leave the Chair?

    Send us Fan Mail Your best vacation might be the one that never happened and that’s exactly why Total Recall (1990) still hits. We sit down to relive Paul Verhoeven’s sci-fi action classic and pull apart the thing that makes it so rewatchable: it’s loud, violent, funny, and weirdly smart about how easy it is to sell someone a story about themselves. We talk through the movie’s real backbone, the Philip K. Dick “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” idea, where memory implants and manufactured identity blur the line between escapism and control. Along the way, we dig into why Arnold Schwarzenegger is such a perfect fit for this specific kind of heightened reality, why the remake’s serious tone feels off, and how Verhoeven’s campy satire shows up in everything from background ads to the movie’s blunt approach to power and propaganda. Then we get practical: the pre-CGI craftsmanship, miniature sets, prosthetics, and the kind of effects work that makes Mars feel grimy and physical. We also share production trivia, talk stunts and on-set injuries, and admit the truth every fan learns sooner or later: you don’t watch Total Recall for clean storytelling, you watch it for bold choices, iconic set pieces, and the lingering question of whether Quaid ever leaves the chair. If you had to choose, would you take the comfortable memory or the uncertain truth?

    Terminator 2 Judgement Day: Come With Us If You Want to Pod

    Send us Fan Mail Hasta la vista, bad sequels. Welcome back to Entertain This!, where we’re dissecting Terminator 2: Judgment Day the rare sci-fi blockbuster that gets smarter the more things explode. We’re planting our flag early: as far as we’re concerned, the franchise ended right here. We’re breaking down James Cameron’s airtight direction, Linda Hamilton’s terrifying intensity, and why Robert Patrick’s unblinking T-1000 remains the absolute gold standard for movie villains.  We also tackle the heavy hitters: - Does Arnold’s "no killing" rule actually hold up when he's shooting out kneecaps? - Can we politely ignore the time travel plot holes? - And why do modern franchises insist on over-explaining perfectly good lore? Stick around after the rating for Mitch’s rapid-fire news blitz, dropping quick updates on Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2, Star Wars Zero Company, a Code Veronica remake, and Cyberpunk Edgerunners Season 2.

    Twins: Double the Trouble, Half the DNA

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Entertain This!, we’re diving back into the 1988 high-concept comedy that defined the "unlikely pair" trope for a generation: Twins. We break down the absolute genius of casting the world’s most muscular action star alongside the king of chaotic comedy—and why, against all laws of nature (and logic), it works perfectly. From the questionable science behind the "perfect human" experiment to the surprisingly wholesome brotherhood that emerges between Julius and Vincent, we’re dissecting it all. Grab your favorite neon windbreaker and join us as we celebrate the most mismatched brothers in Hollywood history. What other 80s odd-couple pairing deserves an episode breakdown? Support the show

    Commando: 90 Minutes of Arnold Violating the Geneva Convention

    Send us Fan Mail Buckle up, action figures, because this week Tom and Mitch are strapped to the teeth with camo face paint, infinite ammunition, and absolutely zero regard for physics. We are diving headfirst into the peak 1985 Arnold Schwarzenegger masterpiece: Commando. Join us as we break down the ultimate "one-man army" flick.

    The Terminator: Come With Us If You Want To Podcast

    Send us Fan Mail "I'll be back." It’s the phrase that launched a billion-dollar franchise, turned a former bodybuilder into an absolute icon, and gave everyone a permanent fear of red A.I. This week on ‘Entertain This!’, Mitch and Tom are hopping into a stolen ’77 Chevy and tracking down James Cameron’s 1984 sci-fi masterpiece, ‘The Terminator’. Join the guys as they break down the gritty, low-budget masterpiece that perfectly blended tech-noir atmosphere with relentless, heart-pounding action. Tom unpacks the tactical terrifying realism of a cybernetic organism that literally will not stop until you are dead, while Mitch tries to figure out the logistics of 1980s time travel physics (and why Kyle Reese decided to steal hobo pants and never upgrade). From Brad Fiedel’s iconic, metallic heartbeat score to Stan Winston’s legendary practical effects, we are diving deep into why this gritty thriller still holds up over four decades later. Was Sarah Connor the ultimate blueprint for the modern action heroine? How did Arnold manage to be utterly terrifying with only 14 lines of dialogue? And honestly, how much chain-link fence is ‘too’ much chain-link fence for a final showdown? Dust off your leather jacket, leave your phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range at home, and press play.

    Darin Toonder: Grand Theft Floral & Primetime Television (Interview)

    Send us Fan Mail How do you transition from dominating local recreation leagues to navigating a post-apocalyptic political thriller or avoiding the Ozark cartels? You ask Darin Toonder. This week on Entertain This!, we sit down with an incredibly versatile actor whose face you’ve undoubtedly seen on some of the biggest shows on television. We dive deep into his stacked resume, discussing what it’s like to bounce from the comedic perfection of Parks and Rec and Modern Family to the gritty tension of Ozark, his role as Agent Melvin Rainey in Hulu's Paradise, and his latest turn in the wild new supernatural horror movie, Obsession. But acting is only half the story. Before he was sharing scenes with Hollywood’s elite, Darin was building a legacy in a much more cutthroat arena: adult league softball. We also get a legendary tale on his rose-stealing abilities (yes, you read that right). Grab your sunflower seeds and a cold drink—it’s time to talk shop, sports, and petty floral theft. Want to stay updated? Make sure to subscribe to Entertain This! on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your ear-candy, and leave us a 5-star review if you want Mitch or Tom to steal a rose for you.
