Chris and Anthony of the Sci-Fi Wise Guys podcast take a break from their usual schtick of reviewing straight- to- stream science fiction and join Tod to discuss Total Recall (1990). 

In order to thwart an insurgency of mind-reading mutants, a spy undergoes the radical procedure of having his memories replaced.  The plan goes seriously awry when his unsuspecting alter-ego tries to have those memories altered.  The movie poses deep questions about identity, and then cheerfully ignores those questions while Arnold Schwarzenegger carves a wide swath of colorful carnage across a Mars colony in 2074.  

Paul Verhoeven directs, also featuring Sharon Stone, Ronnie Cox and Michael Ironside
