Each episode, hosts Lizzie Bassett and Chris Winterbauer dive into a new film to explore the mind blowing (and sometimes numbing) reasons why making a movie is nearly impossible (especially a good one). Produced by David Boman.

Ghostbusters
A specter of a script! A lead prone to ghosting! A soul-wrenching schedule! This week, Chris & Lizzie cross the streams with 1984’s supernatural success story, Ghostbusters. Learn how a cabal of Canadian comedians created an American classic and how John Belushi haunted the film more literally than you may know.
*CORRECTIONS:
*Lyndsey Buckingham caught some undeserved strays in this episode - he'd actually recently written Holiday Road for National Lampoon's Vacation.

Chinatown (with Paul Scheer)
This week, Faye Dunaway and Roman Polanski square off in one of the messiest on-set feuds of all time. Chinatown may be one of the greatest movies ever made, but between hair plucking, tv throwing, and alleged urine tossing, the production was an absolute disaster. Special guest Paul Scheer (Unspooled, How Did This Get Made) joins Lizzie & Chris to discuss the insane making of the 1974 Jack Nicholson classic, and the complicated legacy it leaves behind.
Check out Paul's memoir, Joyful Recollections of Trauma.

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

The Crow
A film that set the mold for R-rated comic book adaptations, but is perhaps most famous for putting its enigmatic star Brandon Lee on the map… and taking him off it forever. Lizzie walks Chris through a production riddled with problems long before Lee’s untimely death, who else almost played Eric Draven and the film’s surprising connection to John Wick. They're also joined by an expert, armorer Larry Zanoff, to break down the on-set shooting of Brandon Lee.

Customer Reviews
Great Show
Keeps my husband occupied.
Umm yes snd more please.
Okay so first off I have to start by saying thank you to your team for actually responding to my message. Couldn’t figure out how to review and had been wanting to do so for some time now. The intelligent folks that you are sure enough led me to my answer. So kudos for that. So back to the subject at hand. You guys rock. I will start by saying that I stumbled upon your podcast when it first came out. I am a huge movie fan and decided to give your podcast a try. Much to my surprise I found that Lizzie and Chris put on a good show. From gassy burps to uncontrollable laughter filled with little tidbits that you may have never heard of happening on some of your favorite movies. This podcast is fun, informative and wacky at times. It’s all love. In the absence of episodes I ventured to find something similar and fell flat. Nobody can come close to how much fun they are and how excited I am to find a new episode. I currently am on my fourth run through of all episodes! Some in the reviews may call them unprofessional but that is what makes this show so fun. Also I’d argue that they are quite professional when it calls for it specifically in the realm of what is safe on a movie set. I especially appreciate the intimate and safety coordinators they have interviewed. They have presented movies I may have never watched and ended up liking or appreciating them too. If asked what they should change I would simply say more episodes sooner. However I understand it’s a small team which is why the show is awesome. I tell everyone I know about it and will continue to do so. Love you guys. Keep up the movie love.
Solid
They’re improving. Five stars for being directionally correct.
