Summer of Schwarzenegger is in full swing! This episode, Phil and Tom take a look at the 1990 hard-R action smash Total Recall from provocateur (and friend of the show!) Paul Verhoeven.
At a moment when actual real-world billionaires are personally blasting off to space and setting their sights on space mining and the colonization of Mars, Total Recall is as relevant as ever. And Verhoeven again proves himself ahead of the curve!
There are few voices as recognizable as Arnold’s - but in Total Recall nothing is as it seems. Except capitalism - even on Mars, Adam Smith’s invisible hand is flipping humanity the bird.
Total Recall is a 1990 American science fiction action film directed by Paul Verhoeven and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The film tells the story of a construction worker who suddenly finds himself embroiled in espionage on Mars and unable to determine if the experiences are real or the result of memory implants.
