What Was That Called Again?

18 - Cyborg Dan

Welcome to episode 18 of What Was That Called Again? with Thomas and Will. In this episode, we are punching and kicking our way into the martial arts genre.
Will makes a bold declaration that in this episode he will get all three films either correct or incorrect. He also thinks he has seen one of these but the images he has in his head from what he believes to be this film could be from literally any martial arts film from the 70s, so it’s hard to say if he has seen any of these or not.
The creative segment takes up about an entire third of this week’s episode. It was very late/early when this was recorded, and usually that makes for interesting segments. I’m not saying it’s good, but I am saying it’s interesting. Thomas also talks about some martial arts buddy cop idea he had once, which is something more of a title than an actual idea, but we were able to borrow from it for this episode. The creative segment kind of needed all of the support it could get, to be honest. But I still think we’ve done worse.
Enjoy.

17 - I’m Gonna Paint Your Wagon, Baby

Welcome to episode 17 of What Was That Called Again? with Thomas and Will. In this episode, we are taking a trip to the old west. And by that, I mean we are talking about three westerns. Just to be clear. We recorded this episode from our respective homes. But anyway, we have a film whose description confuses Will, a film whose description makes Will excited to watch it, and a film that takes place in a specific county which Will cannot remember the name of.
So, we talk for a while about the infamously troubled production of one of the movies in this episode. One of the films is a musical too, and so Thomas creates a couple on the spot musical melodies which make Will laugh hysterically.
Finally, we tried to figure out whether or not the title of one of the films appears within the film as a line of spoken (or sung) dialogue. And as I write this a few weeks after the episode was recorded, I can confirm that Will has watched this particular film, so, look forward to his reporting on that in the coming weeks.
Enjoy.

16 - The Cats Are Calling

Welcome to episode 16 of What Was That Called Again? with Thomas and Will. In this week’s adventure, we dive head first into the world of animal cinema with three flicks featuring dangerous animals. Were animals hurt during the making of the films we discuss? Were humans hurt? The answer to those questions is yes. But thankfully you don’t need to see them. You can just listen to us talk about them instead.
We end this episode with a creative segment that involves a Jack Black and Jamie Lee Curtis lead remake of one of the titles discussed in this episode, in the style of John Hughes. Thomas begins laughing uncontrollably and so Will presses on ahead without much help for the most part.
Enjoy.

15 - Bananas

Welcome to episode 15 of What Was That Called Again? with Thomas and Will. In this week’s episode we kick it off by discussing the film WAKE IN FRIGHT (1971) so, if you would like to avoid mild spoilers for that film, skip ahead to the 12:00 minute mark.
Will gets nearly a Michael Caine triple feature this week, except Thomas decided to not do a Michael Caine movie as the third title. There’s not even really a good explanation for why, so, this is one of the theme-less episodes.
We finished the episode off with another meltdown brought on by the quote of the week and we do the thing where we try to figure out how that quote even comes up within the film it’s from. It leads us to a path full of bananas and a bizarre interrogation.
Also if you are Italian, send us an email. Tell us if you are offended by this episode but also make sure you tell us how you found the show. We skirt the line with the problematic with our Italian stereotypical phrases so we can only hope this one doesn’t come back to bite us when we run for political office.
Enjoy.

14 - Roo Pelts

Welcome to episode 14 of What Was That Called Again? with Thomas and Will. In this episode, Thomas chooses a theme which Will is not quite certain about. All three of the films sound quite bonkers but in different ways, yet somehow they all fit within the same box. 
We get to hear how good or not good Thomas is at accents. If anyone is offended, please email us and explain why in detail. We also end up guessing how a particular plot point plays out in one of the films, and we will find out just how wrong we were on our own time when we actually sit down to watch the film for the first time so we will be sure to report back on that asap.
