    Beetlejuice

    Lydia dies in a fire at the hands of a winged homicidal maniac?! ‘Beetlejuice’ (1988) started off as a gruesome, offbeat horror film, but it became the quirky classic we know and love thanks to Tim Burton, script doctor Warren Skaaren, an incredible production team, and the Beetle-Guy himself: Michael Keaton. Find out why missing her audition got Catherine O’Hara her part, how Harry Belafonte’s music made it into the final cut, why Michael Keaton almost didn’t take the job and so much more.  HelloFresh - For FREE breakfast for life go to HelloFresh.com/freewrong See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There are so many versions of ‘American Psycho’ (2000) that we never saw, but thanks to Christian Bale and director Mary Harron, we eventually got something pretty close to perfect. Find out how Gloria Steinem accidentally saved Christian Bale’s job and why a real life serial killer made this film almost impossible to shoot.

    Gigli

    How did an Academy Award nominated director helm what’s widely regarded as one of the worst movies ever made? 2003’s “Gigli” gave us Bennifer 1.0 and torpedoed writer/director Martin Brest’s career. Find out how NOT to reverse engineer a romcom - especially when your main characters are a straight man and a lesbian. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez do their best, but thanks to one of the craziest post-productions we’ve ever covered, “Gigli” does its worst.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
