Total Recall

We close out our theme of “The Long Journey” with a journey of 140 million miles…to Mars!  Karl had the added shakeup that his pick must feature a conspiracy. So we are watching 1990’s Total Recall, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as lowly worker Douglas Quaid, who dreams of one day visiting Mars. But when Doug visits “Rekall”, a business that implants false memories for a fee, it sets of a chain of events showing there is more to Doug than meets the eye.  

We also discuss the original Philip K  Dick short story the film was based on, some of our favorite Schwarzenegger movies, whether we would ever consider visiting Mars, and if we would try out a service like Rekall.  And Schwarzenegger noises.  This movie has all of them.
