Today were have a the mammoth task of casting one of the great 90's war films 'Saving Private Ryan'..... not once, but twice!!
We could decide whether decide to go with a comedy/parody version or stay true to the drama of the original, so we though "Why not both???" (Cue the little girl from the Old El Paso commercial).
Anyway, thanks for sticking with us and we hope you enjoy the episode.
Welcome everyone to the FCCL Halftime Show, the episode between episodes, the drink between drinks, the place where we talk about all the stuff we couldn't fit into our regular podcasts.

This week we are recasting Ocean's 11 with an all British cast, set in any era, and for the first (and possibly last) time, Rick will be taking a backseat and letting Chat GPT (AKA Dexter from Perfect Match) take the reigns. How will Alec fair against our A.I. overlords??

In this, the penultimate episode of Season 2, much like an overpriced hipster cafe would do to an Eggs Benedict, we are deconstructing Matt Reeves' "The Batman". How so? Well this week instead of recasting a film, we are taking out the main actors from The Batman, and attempting to cast them into different roles in a different movie. It'll all make sense when you hear the podcast.
Voting for this challenge will be up on our Instagram page @fccl.aus , so keep an eye out on Facebook an Instagram to know when to get your votes in.
