Episode 37 - The Godfather, The Best Film EVER??

Episode 40

Tuesday, May 6, 2025 • Duration 01:15:55

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).

Tuesday, March 25, 2025 • Duration 01:24:49

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.

Episode 35 - Like Ketchup With Steak, The Man That Knew Too Little Review and Recasting

Episode 38

Tuesday, March 11, 2025 • Duration 01:27:49

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.

Episode 34 - Metal Gear Solid The Movie

Episode 37

Wednesday, February 26, 2025 • Duration 01:24:39

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.

Episode 33 - Spaceballs, Review and Recast

Episode 36

Tuesday, February 11, 2025 • Duration 01:23:38

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

Episode 32 - Nosferatu Review

Episode 35

Tuesday, January 28, 2025 • Duration 01:20:48

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.

Episode 31 - Tremors, Review and Recast

Episode 34

Tuesday, January 14, 2025 • Duration 01:14:41

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

Episode 30 - Armageddon, Drill Hard

Episode 33

Tuesday, December 31, 2024 • Duration 01:44:10

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

Read moreCollapse

Episode 29 - Running Man, Running Home For Christmas

Episode 32

Tuesday, December 17, 2024 • Duration 01:28:56

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

Read moreCollapse

Episode 28 - Apocalypse Now, Up A River Without A Paddle

Episode 31

Tuesday, December 3, 2024 • Duration 01:35:52

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.
