Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope
15 september 2020 · 1 uur 13 min
Star Wars. The $70B franchise... that basically no one wanted to make. This week Chris & Lizzie learn how George Lucas’ failure to adapt Flash Gordon spawned THX, Industrial Light & Magic, and generations of zealous followers. Lees meer
CORRECTIONS:
*Chris made the epic blunder of stating that actor David Prowse had a Scottish accent - he's from Bristol, UK. Apologies to our friends across the pond!

Twilight Zone: The Movie (Part 1)
8 september 2020 · 43 min
Twilight Zone: The Movie earned mediocre reviews at a very high price: a deadly helicopter accident on John Landis’ set which took the lives of actor Vic Morrow and two young children. This week Lizzie leads Chris through this tragedy-laden production that serves as a heavy reminder that no film is worth a human life. Lees meer

Doctor Dolittle
1 september 2020 · 53 min
Of the 1,500 animals that worked on 1967’s Doctor Dolittle, not one threw more shit at the fan than lead human actor Rex Harrison. We apologize for the laughter in advance. Lees meer

25 augustus 2020 · 51 min
Toxic body paint, third degree burns and 80 cigarettes a day, oh my! This Chris & Lizzie cover the 1939 classic, The Wizard of Oz, a film that brought joy to so many and was a nightmare for most of its cast, especially 16-year-old Judy Garland. Lees meer

Waterworld

The Last Airbender
11 augustus 2020 · 39 min
M. Night Shyamalan’s whitewashed adaptation of the beloved Avatar: The Last Airbender remains his most expensive and critically derided film. How did such acclaimed source material yield this unmitigated flop? Join Chris & Lizzie as unabashed Avatar fan-boy (and What Went Wrong producer) David Boman attempts to piece together an answer.

The Man Who Killed Don Quixote
4 augustus 2020 · 49 min
Adam Driver stars in a film conceived only 6 years after he was. This week, Chris & Lizzie learn the tale of director Terry Gilliam’s 29 year battle against F-16s, prostate infections, and insubordinate horses on his (perhaps) misguided quest to finish The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. Lees meer

Showgirls
28 juli 2020 · 47 min
Think you enjoy nudity in films? Think again. This week, Chris & Lizzie autopsy the collateral damage of Paul Verhoeven’s cult classic, Showgirls. Topics covered include the dynamics of aquatic intercourse, the paradoxical task of marketing an unsexy NC-17 movie, and why lead actress Elizabeth Berkley was left holding the (Verhoeven-filled) bag.

Aeon Flux
21 juli 2020 · 41 min
Hands for feet! Sexy diaper pajamas! Frances McDormand going full ginger! This week, Chris & Lizzie exhume Karyn Kusama’s sci-fi misfire, Aeon Flux.

Heaven's Gate
14 juli 2020 · 52 min
Ever wonder where “No Animals Were Harmed In The Making of This Film” came from? Special guest Matt Detisch guides Chris & Lizzie through the details behind Michael Cimino’s Heaven’s Gate, including record breaking budget overages and widespread animal abuse. We also examine the age old question: are Christopher Walken and Kris Kristofferson simply too hot for their leading lady? Lees meer

Apocalypse Now
7 juli 2020 · 50 min
This week Chris & Lizzie forge a path through Francis Ford Coppola's horrendously long production - a film that became a war in and of itself. Join them on a journey through 238 shooting days plagued by typhoons, dysentery, heart attacks and drugs (lots and lots of drugs). Lees meer

The Exorcist
30 juni 2020 · 42 min
1973's The Exorcist left audiences shocked, nauseous, and scandalized - unfortunately, director William Friedkin had a similar effect on the movie’s cast and crew. This week, Chris & Lizzie tackle the misfires, gunfire, and actual fires that plagued this classic film’s production. Lees meer

Titanic
23 juni 2020 · 38 min
I'll never let go, Jack... unless I really, really have to pee. Titanic was a massive hit; we saw it, we felt it, and it went on (in theaters for a record breaking amount of time). But as we learned from 'The Abyss', James Cameron's incredible filmmaking comes at a cost. In this episode we explore how the entire cast and crew got drugged with PCP, Jim's addiction to building behemoth tanks of water and the hardships that caused Kate to wish she was dead and Leo to contemplate which piece of fine dining silverware he should use to lobotomize himself.

Fantastic Four (2015)
16 juni 2020 · 50 min
There are only two good reasons to make a movie - one, the script is great; two, if you don’t, Marvel gets their characters back. This week, Chris & Lizzie fire up Fox’s 2015 misfire reboot of Fantastic Four, from director Josh Trank’s schadenfraude-laden fall from grace to comic book culture’s weird obsession with race.

Southland Tales
9 juni 2020 · 41 min
The Rock stars as a Republican action star with amnesia at the center of a sex tape scandal that threatens to derail a presidential election in Richard Kelly’s eerily prophetic 2007 film, Southland Tales. This week, Chris & Lizzie set out to determine why this follow-up to cult classic Donnie Darko tanked at Cannes, derailed Kelly’s career, and perhaps came out 10 years too soon. Lees meer

The Abyss
19 mei 2020 · 58 min
Life’s abyss and then you dive. This week, Chris & Lizzie go deep on the merits of shooting in a decommissioned nuclear power plant, the resilience of the cast and crew in the face of abyss-olute death, and the saga of Beansie the liquid-breathing rat. Lees meer

Evan Almighty
12 mei 2020 · 50 min
Hollywood attempts to draw a churchgoing audience with a broad comedy - what could go wrong? Apparently, quite a lot, but shrouded in the backstory of this biblical flop are some praiseworthy characters and righteous causes. Lees meer

When all else fails, throw the VFX team under the bus. An exploration of Andrew Lloyd Weber’s uphill ‘Cats’ battle from the get-go, the risks of setting deadlines based on the awards season calendar and why the once massively successful broadway production bombed at the box office. Lees meer
