* InstantWinCondition: The speedrolls are essentially normal campaigns distilled down to their most pivotal moments, with only a couple of dice rolls — sometimes just one — needed to win. The crux is that they are just as easy to lose and grant you a NonStandardGameOver.

* DarkReprise: While the original cover of A Whole New World from the [[Recap/FilmRerollAladdin Aladdin]] campaign had lyrics changed mostly to simply fit with the new scenario, the extended version sung here treats Jasmine becoming the ruler of Agrabah as her StartOfDarkness, making it somewhat of a WeCanRuleTogether song.

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: Possibly the biggest BizarroEpisode in the history of the show, given its highly unusual format. It stands out even more coming right after [[Recap/FilmRerollMemento Memento]], which was both a SoloCharacterRun (albeit with a RotatingCast) and by far the longest Film Reroll campaign ever.

* AMillionIsAStatistic: Brought up in regards to the [[Recap/FilmRerollOceansEleven Ocean’s Eleven]] and [[Recap/FilmRerollTheRock The Rock]] campaigns, where the players feel that the former is the sadder one despite the much lower body count, simply because there we get to know all the people affected by the tragedy. (It also helps that the disaster in The Rock was simply caused by bad luck, as opposed to a blind spot in the plan.)

-> New Film Reroll is up! Our 100th episode!!!
-> Just a straight telling of the somber classic Film/TheSearchers! [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial No shenanigans here!]]
-> [[FalseReassurance I mean do I look like a guy who would do shenanigans?]]
-->-- '''Paulo Quiros'''

Episode 100 of Podcast/FilmReroll. Based on [[Film/TheSearchers the 1956 Western]]... as well as [[Film/TheMartian the 2016 Golden Globes Best Musical or Comedy winner]], [[Film/{{Drive}} a film where a man drives to synthwave music]], [[Theatre/WaitingForGodot a play in which nothing happens, twice]], [[Film/TheItalianJob2003 a fictitious heist in Venice]] (not to be confused with [[Film/TheItalianJob1969 the similarly named fictitious heist in Turin]]), [[Film/{{Rashomon}} the Trope Namer]] for RashomonStyle, [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty a Disney film]] where the day is saved by a TrueLovesKiss, and [[Film/CastAway the heartbreaking story of a friendship between a modern-day Robinson Crusoe and a volleyball.]]

Okay, the title ''might'' be [[NeverTrustATitle a bit misleading.]] This is ''really'' a MilestoneCelebration for the podcast with something of a VarietyShow format, alternating between three main segments: speedrolls, personal offerings, and highlights.

* The speedrolls follow the usual Film Reroll premise, with the difference that the plot is resolved with only 1-3 rolls at critical plot moments. They are very fatalistic, as they immediately determine whether or not the story has a HappyEnding. Each player present gets to play through their very own mini campaign.

* The personal offerings gives the players the opportunity to bring their own content to the table, ranging from scripted (and sometimes prerecorded) comedy to minigames for the whole cast to play. Again, every player gets their own segment here.

* Finally, the highlights simply has the players looking back at and reminiscing about stand-out moments throughout the show (voted in place by listeners) and giving their own thoughts and behind-the-scenes trivia about them.

Starring Jon Miller as Ethan Edwards, Andy Hoover as Houben, Carolyn Faye Kramer [[IAmNotLeonardNimoy as Ryan Gosling]], Pitr Strait as Estragon, Scott Aiello as Vladimir, Joz Vammer as Chuck Noland, Lisa Kopitsky as Charlie Croker, Tim Nolan as Carolyn Faye Kramer, Lane Moore as Jasmine and Paulo Quiros as the Dungeon Master.

!!Tropes:

* CoverVersion: Paulo Quiros' offering is an orchestrated, "proper" ExpositoryThemeTune version of ''[[Recap/FilmRerollStandByMe They Walk By Night]]''. The episode also ends with him and Lane Moore performing a similar version of his rewritten ''[[Recap/FilmRerollAladdin A Whole New World]]'' cover.
* CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: InUniverse, the Rerollers take time to name their favorite campaigns that they ''aren't'' in, at the request of a fan letter.
* SongParody: Lisa Kopitsky's offering is a musical medley tribute to the show featuring {{Call Back}}s to numerous episodes, all set to tunes from Film/{{Grease}}, various Creator/{{Disney}} movies, and other sources.
