Three friends take some of cinema’s much loved (or unloved) films and, for better or worse, stir in a different cast (it’s usually worse). A must listen for film and comedy fans alike.Cast-A-Role is filled with delicious humour, bad language, dubious opinions, and delectable movie trivia.

DISCLAIMER - Sam has got himself a shiny new microphone and we didn't quite get the levels correct so he may come across a bit loud in places over the next couple of episodes. We can only apologize and will have this sorted when we next record.
 
WE ARE BACK!! Time for another episode of classic Cast-A-Role shenanigans.
This week we are reviewing and recasting the last film Micheal Bay did before he stopped caring and sunk his teeth into franchising, 2005's Action Sci-Fi romp The Island.
We start this week off by discussing our favourite Tex-Mex meals, which somehow leads to a traffic report of sorts.
Jim has watched the Rebel Moon Director's Cuts and gives his thoughts and retrospectively re-evaluating the originals with a cameo from Sam's Guinea pigs.
We dive into why Jim watched this 3 times in the cinema.
Nick DOESN'T pick Emily Blunt. 
Sam may give Micheal Bay a bit too much credit
We have a listener email that absolutely pulls Jims pants down.
And we end the episode introducing you to THE MEGA WHEEL followed by Sam treating us to another edition of Audio Aperitif.

We're back with our regularly scheduled dose of Cast-A-Role, and this time it's the turn of Sam to give us a little insight into his mind and the types of films he considers worthy of a Top 5 placement.
We go back to the year 1987 (a great year) and discuss the fantasy comedy, The Princess Bride.
But before we get into all of that, as is customary we begin by going on a tangent into what kind of employee Jim would be like.
Sam as expected going into this episode, is full of praise......
.....Jim and Nick, not so much.
The guys also can't help but give themselves a round of applause with what is possibly their best recasting yet.

Was this the perfect superhero film for someone who isn't usually fussed with the genre?
