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 joins the pod to discuss the insane making of the 1974 Jack Nicholson classic, and the complicated legacy it leaves behind.

The Sixth Sense

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
Enjoying this I am!
They do a great job with their introductions and their discussions and they’re one on one with each other. I enjoy listening to them. I enjoy their voices. They do a great job. They leave everything out on the table and you feel well informed and enjoy listening to it with the information you get.
Love the Show!
I stumbled upon this show a couple months ago and have gone back to listen to every episode! Lizzie and Chris have wonderful repoire with each other, and it’s obvious how much work they put into the research of each movie. But due to their storytelling of how a movie unfolded, I have gone back and watched countless movies from a different perspective after learning about What Went Wrong or Right for that movie. I’m excited every time I see a new episode drop and look forward to hearing even more in-depth analysis of the movies we loved and hated…BTW Congrats Lizzie on your recent marriage!!
So Interesting!
I love this pod. They get so many great details to explain how some of the movies we love (or hate) came to fruition. It is amazing to listen to how little things like an actor getting sick or a bad storm can completely change a movie. The amount of research they do to put this pod is very commendable. Some pods just watch a movie and react, Lizzie and Chris do SO MUCH more! They teach you about movie making and provide such a wealth of knowledge on how crazy movie making can be!
Thanks!
