Welcome to episode 35 of What Was That Called Again? with Thomas and Will. In this weeks’ installment, we come in with international shout outs followed by drink check in which we get a bit of an inside scoop into Thomas’ new found appreciation for wines.
We get into the movies and we have a trio of Brucesploitation flicks at the helm this time. Thomas lays down very little knowledge for us on these movies but that’s okay because one of the posters (and title) was so crazy that it inspired us to do a creative segment where we come up with a fake deleted scene in which the poster artwork becomes part of the movie, because it is of course one of those posters where it has artwork so amazing that nothing in the movie is even close.
Enjoy.

Welcome to episode 34 of What Was That Called Again? with Thomas and Will. In this episode, we go over a trio of Japanese films. But first, in a rare WWTCA occurrence, we have a cold open where you hear a real world candid moment of Will struggling to remember a movie title, as he also incorrectly remembers the release year.
We slide into drink check, and then the game begins. Eventually we get to a quote and Thomas sounds really crazy and Will is stunned to near silence as he tries to understand what the decision Thomas made was, and also what was said. The creative segment then rolls in and we talk about jellyfish and crabs and incels.
Enjoy.

Welcome to episode 33 of What Was That Called Again? with Thomas and Will. In this week’s installment, we fire hot out of the gate into drink check. Thomas made a new drop that will from now on roll us into the segment, but we forgot to mention that. So for all of you who don’t read this, that’ll be a surprise!
We try to remember what movies we talked about on the last episode, and we didn’t watch any of them so it doesn’t really matter much. We eventually get to this week’s movies and they are all Hong Kong originated. Will has a tough time with the titles he is given.
Thomas reads a quote and then we try to figure out where in that particular film the quote came from, and figure out what happens after the line is given. Hopefully we’ll be able to watch it soon and report back.
Enjoy.

Welcome to episode 32 of What Was That Called Again? with Thomas and WIll. In this installment, we recorded while Thomas had been awake for about 28 or so hours straight. You can decide if that really made any kind of difference or not.
We start off with drink check, the new hit segment. We get right into the show after that and Will is not familiar with anything being discussed but he tries his damndest anyway, and maybe does alright, maybe does poorly. We cover some brief info on the films before we get into our creative segment which is based around the quote Thomas pulled for today’s show. Give it a go and don’t forget to tune in to 102.6 - The Cupid.
Enjoy.

Welcome to episode 31 of What Was That Called Again? with Thomas and Will. In this episode, we kick right off with a discovery that Will in fact has been living a double life, and despite years of friendship, Thomas just now, on air, learned that Will secretly has been an avid lover of sports. Except just mainly college basketball. We talk about that for a while, and then we get to our indie sci-fi triple feature.
Thomas reveals how one of the featured movies this week was done in five days and was improvised which sends us down a deep rabbit hole on improvisational films, and how movie sites often diminish the sheer amount of work that goes into making one of those good. We get through it though and we decided to watch that movie as soon as we stopped recording, so, look forward to a recap next week.
Enjoy.
