I stumbled upon this show when looking for a deep dive into the backstory behind Alien 3. After listening to that episode (which is amazing) I became hooked. Now it is one of my all time favorite pods (which is saying something because I have listened to 1000’s). The two hosts do an excellent job researching every film they cover. The title might give the impression that the show is negative in tone and all about dunking on bad movies and the people involved, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s a love letter to the creative act and to all the people brave enough to try. Here is a list of WWW eps that have unexpectedly and completely out of nowhere made me get emotional: Some Like it Hot Galaxy Quest Shrek (part 2) The show is fun, full of heart, and often more entertaining than the movies themselves.

Love this podcast - I started listening to it randomly - and I’ve become a lot more interested in movies it’s lead me to dive deeper into classics and it’s been the gateway to more movie podcasts! What went wrong is the BEST though - great research funny commentary that’s not talk-showy I die laughing at the impressions especially in the thank you part of the episodes! - Thank you for the new hobby!

Never before in my days of listening to podcasts have I so thoroughly consumed each and every available episode after hearing a single episode. The amount of research pulled together is only outmatched by the hosts’ ability to discuss all the problems of a film’s production without descending into callous mockery or condescension. After each episode, I find myself wanting to watch the movie about which I’ve just heard all the messy details. Lizzie and Chris never forget that there are real people involved in even the biggest cinematic disaster, and I love the generosity of spirit they bring to this subject matter. Fun and funny and illuminating, I don’t think I could love this show more.

I stumbled upon What Went Wrong somewhere on the world wide web (probably reddit) by a random internet stranger’s recommendation and I could not be more glad I did!! A phenomenal podcast, so well researched. Lizzie & Chris strike the perfect balance of informative and hilarious and always have room for nuance in their discussions. After every episode I’m left thoroughly entertained and feeling like I learned a bunch of new things! They are such adept storytellers I even enjoy listening to episodes about movies I’ve never seen. Standing ovation!!
