She has tickets to a matinee and I took my sweet time setting the mics up, so we have less than an hour to cover Nora Ephron's final film.

WHEN HARRY MET SALLY... with Mom & Dad!
Welcome to Total Recall & The Queens Of The Rom-Com-A-Thon, a celebration of the films of Nora Ephron & Nancy Meyers.
This is the first official episode of the season. Sort of like a podcast meet-cute between me and you, the audience. So I did what I always do when I want to make a good first impression: I brought my parents along and put them in a scenario where one of us would have to loudly fake an orgasm.
Also on today's show: Mom, Dad and I discuss...

We will see you at some point next week for an Odyssey pod.
OPPENHEIMER with Madeline & Theo!
*In a perfect impression of the guy from PIXAR's Brave* "IF YOU HAD THE CHANCE TO BUILD A BOMB.... WOULDJA?!"
TENET with Jasper!
Mike and Pete take the reins for the penultimate pre-Odyssey episode of Total Recall & The Christopher Nolan-Thon, and after more episodes than he'd like to admit, Jasper puts himself on the hot seat to recall his favorite film of ALL FRIGGIN TIME: Tenet.

INDEPENDENCE DAY with Mom & Dad! (Re-Release)
You: Absolutely nothing...
Me: "In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world, and you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind... Mankind. That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution… but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to li...
INTERSTELLAR with Lily!
One half of the baddies themselves return, not to give out made up awards, but to take to the stars as we recap INTERSTELLAR. Lily will also gift us with a song or two and an exhaustive breakdown of the various seating options available at her Dad's home. It's a good one.

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES with Cass & Pete!

America's favorite fiancés are back on the show in what many are calling the unruliest episode of the show YET. We're talking dueling Bane impressions, a broken countdown clock and a hard deadline to watch HotD at 9 PM. GET INTO IT!!!!
5 Things I Like & Don't Like, featuring A Tribute To James Burrows, Off Campus Character Rankings & A Few World Cup Nitpicks
Hello my lovely listeners. Sorry I missed last week. You deserve better than that, and I promise, from this point forward, I'm gonna give it to ya. Well. Hold on. Maybe from Thursday forward, because this episode is all over the friggin place. Click around to the topic of your choice below, and I'll see you Thursday for The Dark Knight Rises....
RIP James Burrows (2:42) World Cup Complaints (16:54) Off Campus Character Rankings - WITH MADELINE! (30:38) Disclosure Day (42:56) Naming Some Guys (49:26)INCEPTION with Pat & Liv!
It was all a dream, etc, etc... Pat & Liv join the show to discuss INCEPTION, a movie JP got a little too obsessed with as a teenager. Not obsessed enough to make a wish on a one-wish-willow, but just obsessed enough to force his Dad to drive him to the mall against his will. Come for JP's impression of Marion Cotillard, stay for the first ever out-of-order recap in Total Recall history!
THE DARK KNIGHT with Lindsey & Chase!
INTRODUCE A LITTLE CHAOS INTO YOUR PODCASTING ROUTINE, and join Lindsey, Chase and JP as they try to record a whole podcast exclusively in Christian Bale's batman voice. Fair warning friends, this is the silliest episode of the THE NOLAN-THON and I don't really think its close. I love it almost as much as The Joker loves school busses.
See ya next week!
BONUS: The Survivor 50 "Should They Come Back?" Report with Madeline!
JP and Madeline convene to decide, once and for all, who from Survivor 50 is worthy of returning in future seasons. Our word is LAW and we expect it to be followed TO THE LETTER (cc: Jeff Probst). Be warned, we will be spoiling Season 50 as a part of this episode.
Stay tuned for more bonus episode if and when I feel the urge. The Dark Knight with Lindsey & Chase is up on Nolan-Thon next week. See ya there.
THE PRESTIGE with Ross!
Are you listening closely? Good, because this episode is very quiet and you'll need to press your ear right up to your speaker to hear it properly.
Ross returns to the show today to break down THE PRESTIGE and definitely not get into a magical blood feud with JP that'll eventually cost us more than we can possibly fathom. We'll also discuss science museums, the current state of the muppets and why Ross' Grandpa seems like the coolest guy who ever lived.
BATMAN BEGINS with Sarah!
Total Recall & The Christopher Nolan-Thon rolls on as Sarah rejoins the pod to discuss Nolan's seminal superhero adaptation: BATMAN BEGINS.

INSOMNIA with Madeline!
Total Recall & The Christopher Nolan-Thon rolls on with INSOMNIA (a movie about not sleeping) and Madeline (a girl who looooooooooves sleeping).
