Cory and Nick strip down the saga of Jason Voorhees right back to its roots while threading a humorous twist. In this mini-sode, they re-imagine the infamous 'Marry/Sex/ Kill' game and apply it to the franchise, sparking a lively debate about which movie they feel is the best (Marry), their personal favorites (Sex), and those that perhaps should've never graced the screen (Kill).
They don't just stick to the surface level either, digging deep into the evolution of Jason Voorhees, dissecting the iconic hockey mask, its influence on the horror genre, and how it stacks up against other slasher movie villains.
Drawing parallels with the original Star Wars trilogy, they analyze the narrative patterns and examine the attempts to rebrand Jason as a more formidable foe. Cory also expose the gritty details of the legal battle behind the scenes, which threatened to capsize the franchise.
Its all round up by with Cory personal ranking all the movies in the franchise. So, whether you're a die-hard fan of Jason Voorhees, a horror movie enthusiast, or you're just here for the banter, this episode promises laughter, nostalgia, and some well-intended critique.

Finding yourself dreading Turkey Day? Cory and Nick deep dive the holiday from a cinematic point of view, to help you find movies and TV episodes to watch, as they try to figure out what qualifies as a "Thanksgiving Movie." As a bonus, they both recast the classic, holiday buddy road trip, "Planes, Trains, & Automobiles" in different years! As the leaves turn and the air gets crisp, we find ourselves reflecting on Thanksgiving—a holiday often overshadowed by its festive neighbors, Halloween and Christmas. Why does Thanksgiving seem to linger in the background while the rest of the world rushes to deck the halls? Join us as we share some personal tales of turkey day traditions, from football to family feasts, and ponder the lack of a solid Thanksgiving cinematic universe. We roll up our sleeves and take on the curious mystery of Thanksgiving movies—or the glaring lack thereof. What makes a movie fit for this autumnal festivity? Is it the aroma of home-cooked meals or the golden hue of falling leaves? We debate the classics like "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving," and stretch our imaginations, wondering if films like "Dead Poets Society" or "Knives Out" could fit the bill. It's a fun, nostalgic exploration that will have you rethinking your holiday watch list and maybe even considering a "rogue" Thanksgiving choice. Whether you're lounging in your stretchy pants post-feast, or dreading the possible awkward conversations ahead, this episode promises a hearty helping of holiday options. So grab a slice of pumpkin pie, tune in, and let's celebrate Thanksgiving with laughter and a few unexpected movie picks.

What if we finally recasted The Lost Boys? Join us as we cap off the Halloween season by reminiscing about our first encounters with the dark world of vampire films, and recast Cory's beloved undead bad boys film, 1987's "The Lost Boys". We delve into the evolution of vampire lore on screen, comparing classics like the original "Dracula" with modern interpretations, and share a good laugh critiquing user-generated and AI-generated rankings of top vampire movies. We finally get back to recasting, as Cory imagines a modern remake of "The Lost Boys," envisioning a version helmed by Jordan Peele and starring a diverse cast, while Nick keeps a hint of nostalgia by putting together a Late 90s cast. We explore the rich dynamics of character portrayal in vampire stories, celebrating performances from George Clooney's suave role in "From Dusk Till Dawn" to Joel Schumacher's unique touch on "The Lost Boys." As we sprinkle in casting ideas for potential remakes, we savor the nostalgia and timeless appeal that vampire cinema brings to the screen. The episode wraps up with a spirited discussion about the cultural impact of vampire-themed media, from the iconic "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" to the cyclical popularity of the genre. We ponder setting future vampire stories in different eras, and entertain thoughts of a vampire resurgence with new projects.

What if the internet is warping our perception of movies? On this episode of Quantum Recast, Ash Hurry rejoins Cory & Nick to tackle the polarizing reactions to "Joker: Folie à Deux", and attempt to defend this already infamous sequel. They stand firm in our support of Todd Phillips' ambitious sequel, exploring why it deserves more than the mixed reviews it's received. With insights into the film's production and a spotlight on stellar additions like Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix, they argue for approaching the movie with an open mind, free from the biases amplified by critics and social media platforms like Rotten Tomatoes. Social media's role in shaping film opinions is more significant than ever, and we explore how instant online reactions can be misleading. Hear how they discuss the dynamics of audience expectations and how films like "Joker 2" and "Terrifier 3" challenge the status quo, and the evolution of film ratings and the potential pitfalls of relying too heavily on scores from sites like IMDb. Encouraging a more personal journey in film discovery, they dive into the importance of shedding preconceived notions and breaking free from the conditioning that big-name franchises have instilled in us. The Joker character has long been a symbol of chaos and unpredictability, and Phillips' take on the iconic villain pushes boundaries in unexpected ways. The crew delve into the artistic intentions behind the film, the exploration of mental health themes, and the challenges of reimagining such a well-known character. They even touch on the broader implications of audience reactions and the impact of societal expectations on storytelling in today's media landscape. Join us in this exploration of cinematic innovation, and let's rethink what it means to appreciate a film for its artistic value, rather than its adherence to convention.

From dissecting the unwritten rules of concert attire to exploring the resurgence of early 2000s music among Gen Z, we cover it all with humor and insight.

It’s time for a fresh take! After a whirlwind summer filled with international escapades and a deep dive into scriptwriting, Cory and Nick are shaking things up. We’re setting aside our usual recasting format for a bit to bring you spirited conversations about everything movies and pop culture. Ever wondered why college football fans go wild for their teams?

Plus, we share some hilarious and relatable stories about the rollercoaster ride that is fantasy football.

What if 'Space Jam' was recast with another NBA star? While the rest of the crew are out enjoying summer, Cory and Nick go on their own trip down memory lane as they reminisce about the 1996 Looney Tunes classic. After shifting gears to reflect on the recent NBA Finals, the rise of the WNBA, they dive into the lasting influence of "Space Jam" on our culture, all while contemplating a creative challenge: reimagining the film without Michael Jordan (but no LeBron James this time). Peek behind the curtain as we explore the fascinating production details of "Space Jam." Discover Michael Jordan's initial hesitations about acting, the clever screenplay that blends his real-life journey with a fantastical narrative, and the disputed directorial credit between Joe Pitka and Ivan Reitman. We also contrast the original film with the sequel "Space Jam: A New Legacy" and delve into the technical marvels of merging live-action and animation, drawing comparisons to "Who Framed Roger Rabbit." Our discussion also covers the film's critical reception and the enduring magic it holds for our two 90s kids. Finally, Cory takes the film to 1989/90, for "pre-Jordan" version, while Nick takes it forward to 2021, to reimagine the movie in different eras. They brainstorm potential storylines and comedic gold of certain NBA stars teaming up with the Looney Tunes. We even dream up an updated soundtrack featuring artists of the times we're jumping to.

We kick things off by tracing the rich history of the X-Men, from their creation by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1963, through their transformative years under Chris Claremont, and the beloved 90s animated series that brought these characters to the mainstream. As we navigate our personal connections to the X-Men universe, we appreciate the pioneering superhero flicks like "Blade," "Spider-Man," and "X-Men" that blazed the trail for the rise of the superhero genre. We engage in an impassioned discussion on our dream casting choices, offering a blend of comic book authenticity and modern acting prowess. From the frosty powers of Iceman and the time-bending Cable to the intellectual might of Professor X and the magnetic presence of Magneto, we present our picks and the rationale behind each choice. Wrapping up, we delve into the complexities of casting of more iconic characters (so many X-Men!) like Storm, Gambit, Rogue, and the fan-favorite Wolverine. We debate potential actors, considering both established stars and emerging talents who could bring new life to these roles. Special attention is given to Cyclops, hoping for a representation that does justice to his character. Tune in for a vibrant conversation as we look ahead to the future of the X-Men in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and beyond.

What if 'Troy' was recast in 1997? Strap in as Cory, Nick and Ash give us an epic of an episode, reimagining the 2004 Wolfgang Petersen epic, during an era when action icons were handing over the reins to fresh faces. We don't just speculate; we create an entire alternate universe where 'Troy' dominates the silver screen alongside that year's blockbusters. It's a rollercoaster of laughter, hypothetical casting debates, and a touch of cinematic wanderlust. Join us as we dissect Brad Pitt's portrayal of Achilles in the original 'Troy', scrutinizing his character arc with the glee of history buffs at a renaissance fair. Our discussion meanders through the intricate web of Greek mythology, silver screen adaptations, and the broader scope of Pitt's film choices. From critiquing the film's storytelling, we peel back the layers of this iconic film and contemplate the effects of a late 90s version. Wrapping up this auditory odyssey, our casting caldron bubbles over with the ideal blend of star power and thespian skill for our dream cast of 'Troy'. We pitch actors against each other for the prized roles of gods and warriors, balancing charisma against muscle and finesse. Tune in to find out who we cast!
