Episode Total Recall (1990) | Ep. 28 - Part 1

0:00 1:04:56

Get your ass to Mars. John, Westy, and Matt begin the story of Paul Verhoeven and Arnold Schwarzenegger's gloriously violent, reality-bending sci-fi blockbuster.

In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Paul Verhoeven, the cast, and the second act — including the trip to Rekall that sets it all spinning, Arnold's everyman-turned-action-hero, and the question hanging over everything: is any of this real?

The mutants and Mars are still ahead. Part 2 makes the trip: crew, finale, reception, legacy. Out now.
