| 6/17/25 | ![]() Episode 40 - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, A Martial Arts Movie Masterpiece? | We’re back, and we’ve got our hidden strings attached, and we’re flying through the trees as wee discus Ang Lee’s wuxia masterpiece, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon from the year 2000. We perform a deep-dive on the cast, such as Michelle Yeoh and Chow Yun-fats career defining performances. The beautifully constructed fight choreography, the Green Destiny sword lore, and lasting impact on world cinema, that turned this Chinese art house films, into a must see blockbuster. | — | ||||||
| 6/3/25 | ![]() Episode 39 - Top Gun Review, Highyway To The Danger Zone | Talk to Me, Goose: Is Top Gun Still King Of The Skies? Description: In this episode, we’re hopping into the cockpit and revisiting Top Gun—the high-flying ‘80s classic that gave us Tom Cruise as Maverick, unforgettable aerial stunts, and one of the most iconic soundtracks of all time (you're already humming them, aren't you?). Whether you’ve seen it 50 times or are just now getting around to it, Top Gun is one of those movies that never stops being cool. We chat about what made Top Gun such a hit in 1986, from the epic jet sequences and bromances to the real-life impact it had on Navy recruitment. Expect fun facts, and a little trivia, but did we have a whole lot of love for the need… the need for speed? www.castarolepod.com | — | ||||||
| 5/20/25 | ![]() Episode 38 - Trainspotting Review, Sex, Drugs and Boyle's Brilliance | This week on Cast-A-Role, we’re diving headfirst into the wild, messy, unforgettable world of Trainspotting - Danny Boyle’s 90s cult classic that gave us Choose Life, Iggy Pop, and one of the most iconic toilet scenes in movie history. In this episode, we discuss: Why Trainspotting is such an important film, and what made it the cult classic it is today Ewan McGregor's performance as Renton Addiction, Friendship - and how the film doesn't pull any punches We discuss some of our favourite moments, including the soundtrack Jim has a fascinating thought on the ending If you grew up quoting Begbie or just watched it for the first time, we’ve got takes, trivia, and plenty of “WTF?” moments to unpack. Hit play and let’s take a trip (pun intended) back to 90s Edinburgh. #Trainspotting #90sMovies #DannyBoyle #EwanMcGregor #CultClassics #MoviePodcast #ChooseLife #IrvineWelsh #BritishCinema | — | ||||||
| 5/6/25 | ![]() Episode 37 - The Godfather, The Best Film EVER?? | This week on Cast-A-Role, we’re breaking down one of the most iconic films in cinema history: The Godfather. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Marlon Brando and Al Pacino, this 1972 classic didn’t just redefine the gangster genre — it changed movies forever. In this episode, we unpack: The film’s influence on Hollywood and modern storytelling The transformation of Michael Corleone and what it says about power and identity Key performances, unforgettable scenes, and why they still resonate The real-life inspiration behind the Corleone family and the legacy of mafia films Whether you're revisiting The Godfather or watching it for the first time, this conversation is packed with insights, analysis, and admiration for one of cinema’s true masterpieces (well, at least from 2 of us). #TheGodfather #MoviePodcast #FilmDiscussion #MarlonBrando #AlPacino #ClassicMovies #MobMovies #FrancisFordCoppola #CinemaHistory #MovieTalk #FilmAnalysis #GangsterMovies | — | ||||||
| 3/25/25 | ![]() Episode 36 - Herrrrrrre's Jimmy! The Shining Review and Recasting | With yet another tantalizing movie review, your new favourite movie podcast is back. It's our season finale, and we've picked a big one. We review Stanley Kubrick's 1980 adaptation of Stephen King's 1977 novel of the same name, The Shining. Expect the usual hijinks from the trio as we give our opinions on what many consider one of the greatest horror movies of all time. | — | ||||||
| 3/11/25 | ![]() Episode 35 - Like Ketchup With Steak, The Man That Knew Too Little Review and Recasting | We are back again with another new episode, and this time, we are doing a Patreon-suggested movie, Bill Murrays, The Man That Knew Too Little. We begin this week discussing steak, and Nick gives one of the worst opinions EVER! Sam goes off piste, and plugs a Youtube channel, which leads to Jim giving a stong soupy opinion Then Jim ends "What we've been watching" with a STRONG opinion. We then begrudgingly discuss possibly the worst movie we've covered to date. Nick continues his trend of giving awful opinions And Sam treats us to an Audio Aperitif with a bit of a difference. | — | ||||||
| 2/26/25 | ![]() 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. | — | ||||||
| 2/11/25 | ![]() 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 | — | ||||||
| 1/28/25 | ![]() 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. | — | ||||||
| 1/14/25 | ![]() 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 | — | ||||||
| 12/31/24 | ![]() 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 | — | ||||||
| 12/17/24 | ![]() 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 | — | ||||||
| 12/3/24 | ![]() 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. | — | ||||||
| 11/19/24 | ![]() 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? | — | ||||||
| 11/5/24 | ![]() Episode 26 - Casino, Only Fools and Gambling | We have entered our birthday month, and to kick things off we have a rather not-so-exciting film to discuss in the form of Martin Scorsese's Casino. It may be fireworks day in the UK, but don't expect many of them in this week's episode, as for once Sam agrees with Jim!!! We start this week off discussing Lego land, and Jim's non-enjoyment of rides. The guys give a little insight into the Mega Wheel. Jim gushes over The Wild Robot. Sadly, there is no Audio Aperitif this week (damn you Sam!!) but the guys do go off on a tangent off the back of Sam's recasting to pitch quite possibly the greatest film ever! And to mark our one-year anniversary, The Mega Wheel picks another HUGE franchise for us to tackle. | — | ||||||
