  • A Star Is Born (2018)

    A Star Is Born (2018)
    Nov 11 2024

    How did the 4th (or maybe 5th) version of ‘A Star is Born’ take almost 20 years to make… and why did it almost star Russell Crowe and Beyoncé?! This week Lizzie and Chris break down Bradley Cooper’s 2018 directorial debut, and discover why Lady Gaga was initially a tough sell. Find out how everyone from Jamie Foxx to Metallica had a hand in this Oscar nominated film’s journey to the screen.

  • The Evil Dead

    The Evil Dead
    Oct 28 2024

    The only thing worse than being a character in a Sam Raimi movie? Acting in one. This week, Chris and Lizzie unearth the grueling, injury-laden production of The Evil Dead. Discover the importance of such amenities as running water, toilets, and electricity; and the pain of removing fake blood with hot coffee. Plus, how Raimi couldn’t have done it without a veritable village, including a couple of Coens, a King of horror, and a septuagenarian sales agent.

  • Clueless

    Clueless
    Oct 14 2024

    Paul Rudd was almost murdered, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones were wasted, and El Niño threatened to rain out production - that’s just the beginning of what went wrong on Clueless (1995). Find out how Alicia Silverstone and Brittany Murphy got cast, and why one studio almost changed it to be more about… the guys? As if! It took writer/director Amy Heckerling years to get her vision to the screen, but it was like, totally worth it.

    CORRECTIONS: Chris mistakenly refers to having watched the Criterion Blu-Ray release of "Clueless" - there is no Criterion release! He actually watched the 25th Anniversary Blu-Ray which had been gifted to his wife in a flawlessly photoshopped Criterion package. He apologizes for the confusion but can confirm the transfer looks great.

Thoroughly Researched and Pleasantly Presented

This podcast was an accidental discovery. What a wonderful accident it's proven to be. Lizzie and Chris are knowledgeable, passionate, and bring both whimsy and humanity to stories one would never think could be so engrossing. Many episodes on the... less enjoyable films are almost miraculously made interesting. That's a testament to the hosts' abilities. This one is already great and with such fertile ground in subject matter, the quality is evergreen.
