Join Chris and Lizzie as they find out why Toni Collette was less than thrilled to land her part, why Michael Cera didn’t land the lead role and the unexpected power of a PG-13 rating.

Below The Line - Armorer (Django Unchained)
Armorer Larry Zanoff (Django Unchained, Captain America: Winter Soldier, The Matrix Resurrections) is a combat veteran, a bonafide gunsmith, and a weapons trainer for actors and law enforcmenet officers alike. He is also a great storyteller and educator, which makes him uniquely capable of explaining the critically important, yet often overlooked role of an armorer. Join us for a discussion on the responsibilities of an on-set armorer, cross-collaboration with departments you wouldn't expect, and what we need to learn from the rare but devastating on-set firearm tragedies that have captured headlines for decades.

The Crow
‘The Crow’ set the mold for R-rated comic book adaptations, but it’s perhaps most famous for putting its enigmatic star Brandon Lee on the map… and taking him off it forever. Find out how the 1994 film was riddled with problems long before Lee’s untimely death, who else almost played Eric Draven, and the film’s surprising connection to ‘John Wick’. We’re also joined by an expert, armorer Larry Zanoff, to break down the shooting itself.

Customer Reviews
I’m more annoying
I love this podcast. It has single-handedly made me the most annoying person to watch movies with. five out of five would recommend
Begonias
I tried to type binge worthy and it auto corrected to begonias—I just left that. You make me laugh out loud, fascinating and I love your quirky personal asides! I’m telling everyone! My Uber driver wants you to do All About Eve!
Not just a bad movie podcast
I was skeptical of yet another bad movie podcast, but I was immediately proven wrong. The hosts are thoughtful and do their research to give background on the movies, not just roast them. As industry insiders they understand and acknowledge that real people pour their heart, sweat and tears into these projects and even though bad decisions get made, it’s not any one persons fault (ie actor, writer or director).
Some light / loving criticism: make longer “bumper” music to come back from commercials. There are 30 sec fast forward buttons for a reason. We appreciate you need to put ads in the show to make a living but we don’t need to listen to them. I constantly have to rewind and fast forward to get to the beginning of the next segment and I’m always missing the first sentence. A consistent “Bumper” song helps the audience know the commercials are over and the show is back. I think you have like a tape rewind / speed up sfx in there now and it’s just too short.
Also, I was surprised on the Princess Bride episode that neither of you read the book. It seems like you do so much research and reading so that felt like a huge miss.
Anyway, love the show. Five stars!
