Three Kings
When George Clooney read the script for 1999’s ‘Three Kings’, he knew it was the kind of project he wanted to be attached to. Even though Clooney was a bonafide TV star, he hadn’t found his footing as a leading man yet, so he practically begged director David O. Russell to cast him. Little did he know he had just signed up to work for his worst enemy. This week Lizzie and Chris dive into the madness of ‘Three Kings’, from a disastrous desert shoot, to the truth behind Clooney and Russell’s infamous knock-down drag-out fight. Hosted on Acast.

Or was Cutthroat Island a mere scapegoat? Plus, Matthew Modine takes his lumps (on set and after), poop tanks infect the crew, and Michael Douglas dodges a trip to Davy Jones' locker.

The Blues Brothers
In the summer of 1979, citizens of Chicago found themselves subject to traffic jams, random explosions, and S.W.A.T. teams invading Daley Plaza. But they weren’t frightened, they were thrilled! It was just Jake & Elwood Blues, and they were on a mission from God. This week Chris and Lizzie dive head first into John Landis’ 1980 classic ‘The Blues Brothers’. Find out why they really drove cars through downtown Chicago at over 100mph, how Dan Aykroyd’s first draft was 324 pages long, and why John Landis punched John Belushi in the face. Please note that this episode will cover substance abuse and addiction. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Who are you calling ugly? This week, Chris and Lizzie defend Eli Wallach's looks, Sergio Leone's directing style (to a point...), Clint Eastwood's acting chops and screenwriter Luciano Vincenzoni's decision to pitch a sequel to For a Few Dollars More without his director's input. Plus, why you should always let the Italian stunt men do their job, never trust the Spanish army with a detonation, and how the ecstasy of success can lead to decades of resentment.This episode is brought to you by Brami.
