TRC: Ep. 100 Independence Day (Live from Philly Pod Fest)

The Recasting Couch Movie Podcast

WE ARE LIVE FROM PHILLY PODFEST FOR OUR 100TH-ish EPISODE!!!

Well, really last week, but either way it was a great fucking time. For The Recasting Couch’s 100th-ish episode and live debut we recast Independence Day from Tattooed Mom (@tmoms). We somehow keep the podcast to less than an hour (or not, depending on how long our intro segment is), but we were super psyched to take the show live and a good time was had by all. Some highlights include Mike pegging the crowd with hard candy, me doing a speech in the style of Al Pacino (apparently), and a touch of mutiny from the crowd.

This was the biggest movie on the planet (or off of it?....) in 1996. Starring Will Smith at his absolute Will Smithiest. Jeff Goldblum just blumin’ it up. Judd Hirsch just being Judd. It’s the rare movie where everyone involved hits their stride at the same time. Bill Pullman actually comes off as a halfway decent actor. There’s something magical about this movie and we attempt to recreate it in front of all y’all.

Thanks for the continued support everyone! The live show was so much fun that we would love to try to do it again sometime. If you know of a venue that hosts pods or a festival you think our show would work at, let us know! Slide into our DM’s on twitter @recastingpod or email us at [e-mail]. We could also use some iTunes reviews if you have the time for it. It unfortunately has a disproportionately large effect on how people discover podcasts.0

On a side note, I’m currently watching the movie for next week, and I can’t wait for this episode. Goddamn I love this movie.

Oh, and on a side, side note. Thanks to Obie Media for recording the show. The audio is amazing and they were really great to work with!
