Ever wonder what could’ve been if the right actor had just taken that iconic role? Well, today’s episode of Pop Culture Pastor dives into those “almost” casting decisions that could have totally changed Hollywood history. From Matthew McConaughey almost playing Jack Dawson in Titanic (imagine "Alright, alright, alright", but on a sinking ship) to someone you wouldn't believe possibly stepping into John McClane’s shoes in Die Hard, we’re exploring the actors who almost became legends. Plus, we’ve got some wild behind-the-scenes stories about why Val Kilmer didn’t get that Dune role.
Oh, and don’t miss our discussion on Taylor Swift’s power move in acquiring her music masters—who needs a record label when you have that much fan support?
Also, we answer listener questions in The Lobby!
Join us for a fun-filled hour of near-misses, “what ifs,” and, of course, one-liners.
