2: Blades of Glory, Funny Ferrell, and Recasting the Movie So It’s Different and Good

‘Comedy’ Blades of Glory (of 2007 fame) is the flick we forgot we forgot for this episode. Starring Will Ferrell and Jon Heder, directed by Josh Gordon and Will Speck, the story sees two chalk-and-cheese figure skaters who have to overcome their differences in order to win in the Olympics, or something. It was more fruitful recasting the film than actually dicussing its merits, so that's what we did. 

Om Podcasten

Welcome to the home of forgotten films. Each week, Joe Devine & Adam Richmond discuss a different film that they’ve seen before, but forgotten existed. They discuss cinema, memory, culture and history - as well as play silly games about cheese, budgets, and re-casting. Listeners needn’t have seen the film, but are welcome to watch (or re-watch) before episodes for a different perspective. And at the end of each show, Adam & Joe read out forgotten film lists to each other, to find the film that becomes the focus for next week’s episode.
