Total Recall, 1990
As Ahnold suffocates in the Red Planet’s thin air, his face and eyes bulging and inflating into an orange-tinted Jiminy Glick in Paul Verhoeven’s epic of cheesy mind-fuckery, we’re forced to stifle our inherently nerdy need to shout at the screen with our nasally voices: “Bullshit! There’s no screaming on Mars!”
