This week recast: Independence Day

Live from the #PhillyPodfest for our 100th episode! We had such a blast doing it live. The crowd came prepared with suggestions and we may have uncovered a Recasting natural from the audience.

First ballot That Guy Hall of Fame inductee.

I’m sorry but can we all agree that Harry Dean Stanton

@RecastingPod My “Crow” recast. I had a ton of fun with this as it’s one of my favorite movies!

[The Recasting Couch Podcast @RecastingPod]

@bulldogbooker I like the choices overall. Roth as Top Dollar is a real nice pick.

I would substitute Anna Chlumsky with Michelle Trachtenberg. I just saw her all gothed up in Sexy Evil Genius and it really worked for her.

Nice cast! MEM is a great pull, and I love Vincent Cassell. Fillion would be great because he pretty much already that character in Firefly.

@RecastingPod I legit lol’d at the Macho Man reference on your Raiders episode! Took a shot at recasting it myself!

Great podcast, lots of fun!!

[The Recasting Couch Podcast @RecastingPod]

@bulldogbooker Thanks! We riffed a little longer with that Macho Man bit, but we vertured into some dicey (but hilarious) territory and had to cut it.

Hugo Weaving says his role as Megatron in the Transformers films was 'meaningless'. He also never read the scripts or met Michael Bay

Lost was incredible but the acting was spotty. Hard to cast a giant ensemble like that, but they whiffed on some big roles like Jack, Charlie, and Claire.

They really hit on lots of secondary characters and launched a ton of careers like Law and Order did.

[The Recasting Couch Podcast @RecastingPod]

I'm currently thoroughly enjoying a rewatch of O Brother Where Are Thou.

Not a huge Cohen bros fan, but this is a masterpiece

I can see Cage going method and acting with real tigers.

He will be missed.

Lol. In Mission Impossible: Fallout, the helicopter says "giddy up". I guarantee that want a mistake.

You all know I had to vote for A Knight's Tale. The sneaky best sports movie out there.

@msavvy072579 I like it. Although Dutton is a peculiar choice. He never read "cop" to me, and I'm not sure how he'd do with Hardy.

I think Richard Townsend may be better there.

Love the Goggins pick.

[The Recasting Couch Podcast @RecastingPod]

@msavvy072579 Thats a pretty fun cast. I'd watch.

Oh no! What an absolute beast. He would have surely made the That Guy Hall of Fame. Amazing actor with an amazing career.
