Total Movie RecallTMR 053 – The Devil's Advocate This week on Total Movie Recall, it’s Steve’s turn to not get it when Ryan forces him to snooze this way through the 1997 hambone, The Devil’s Advocate.

In the towns and cities along the coast, an influx of foreign products is setting a new standard for how you should look, talk and eat.
