  Episode #33

  'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem' [2023] - C.E. Garcia and Ben Gonzalez.

  Jun 19, 20261h 17mS3

  Join us as we dive into the surprisingly turbulent journey behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem . We'll explore how Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg convinced Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon to take such a radical creative swing by focusing on the awkward yet hilarious experiences of being a teenager, and how what looked like a straightforward reboot turned into a complete reinvention of one of pop culture's most enduring franchises. Grab a slice, avoid the ooze, and join us as we ask the question at the heart of every episode: was this film a production in trouble, or a masterclass in how to reinvent a franchise?

  Episode #32

  'The Warriors' [1978] - C.E. Garcia, Mike Cuevas, and Ben Gonzalez.

  May 8, 20261h 34mS3

  <p>On this episode we hit the streets with Walter Hill’s neon-soaked cult classic 'The Warriors', a film that turned New York City into a dystopian comic-book like war zone. We'll dig into the film’s notoriously chaotic production, the real life gang activity surrounding the shoot, the studio's fears after its controversial release, and how a relatively small action movie has transformed into one of the most influential cult films of the last 48 years... Come out to play, suckas!! And try to survive as we attempt to bop our way back to Coney Island. </p>

  Episode #31

  'Ticker' [2001] - C.E. Garcia, Mike Cuevas, and Ben Gonzalez.

  Apr 3, 20261h 10mS3

  <p>For this episode we dive headfirst into the chaotic production of Albert Pyun;s "Ticker," a film that somehow assembled a cast including Steven Seagal, Tom Sizemore, and Dennis Hopper, and still ended up feeling like it was stitched together in a rush job at 3 a.m. This straight-to-video action thriller became a perfect storm of clashing egos, questionable creative decisions, and a production that seemed to be making it up as it went along.</p><p>From baffling editing choices to performances that range from half-asleep to are they in the same movie” (because they actually aren't), we br...

  'Jonah Hex' [2010] - C.E. Garcia, Mike Cuevas, and Ben Gonzalez.

  Feb 27, 20261h 12mS3

  <p>After a little down time, the crew is back in the saddle for the new year, and we’re starting off with the Wild West antihero adaptation that barely made it to the gallows before the critics lined up to take their shots, 2010's "Jonah Hex."</p><p>Directed by Jimmy Hayward and starring Josh Brolin, Megan Fox and John Malkovich, Jonah Hex seemed to have all the makings of a gritty, supernatural western. At least on paper. So what went wrong? Studio interference? A rushed production? A movie that feels like it’s missing a reel or two? Or w...

  'Movies In Trouble' Presents... Let's Get Physical (Media) II: Electric Boogaloo [Part 1]

  Feb 13, 202639 minS4

  <p>In our season opener, we're starting things off a little different by revisiting our obsession with physical media, and discussing Arrow Video's release of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trilogy," and the long-awaited 4K (re)-release of Kevin Smith's "Dogma." Along the way, we get into the state of physical media in 2026, what makes a release worth double-dipping, and why owning a movie hits differently than streaming it... It’s part show-and-tell, part therapy session, and the perfect way to launch a brand-new season.</p>
