In conversation with Paul Reiser 45:14

3d ago45:14

45:14

Paul Reiser first came on my radar, as he did for many, with 1986's Aliens. We touch on that very briefly here, as we chat independent film, The Problem With People, a bit of Diner, and the challenges of getting films made. Plus! Colm Meaney going to the wrong bar, a date set for 19 years into the future, and a whole lot more... The Problem With Pe…

Passengers (2016) and Flashdance (1983) 1:04:35

7d ago1:04:35

1:04:35

When the script for Passengers turned up on the famous Hollywood black list of the best unproduced screenplays, it seemed it'd be just a matter of time before it got made. Keanu Reeves and Reece Witherspoon were attached, a director was in place - what could go wrong? Well, a few things. And when the movie did get made? More problems weren't far be…

Kick-Ass (2010) and Payback (1999) 59:18

14d ago59:18

59:18

None of the Hollywood studios wanted to make 2010's Kick-Ass, a comic book movie with an R-rated edge. All of them turned it down, and so the film came to life in tandem with the comics, exploding into cinemas in 2010. It would be fair to say that not everyone in the media was pleased about it, as quite a backlash bubbled up. There were problems wi…

Terrifier (2016) and Longlegs (2024) 1:02:13

21d ago1:02:13

1:02:13

The Terrifier movie franchise has now led to a number one box office hit - but the story behind the first film involves short films, a crowdfunding campaign that missed its target, a shoot that went on longer than originally planned and financiers dropping out. And then there was the battle to get the film noticed in the first place. Plus, how a ti…

Scream (1996) 1:36:12

25d ago1:36:12

1:36:12

Who matches Stu Macher's freak? This week we revisit the iconic 1996 horror classic, Scream. Digressions include Sydney Prescott's generational trauma, Gale Weathers being that girl, why Halloween (1978) is a feminist film, the Nancy Grace-ification of news media, cyber cafe aesthetics, and bad 90s hairstyles. Listen to us on Apple: https://podcast…

Star Trek Beyond (2016) and Quentin Tarantino's Star Trek (unmade) 55:16

28d ago55:16

55:16

2016 marked the 50th anniversary of Star Trek, and not unreasonably, Paramount Pictures wanted a movie. But far from being a straightforward production, Star Trek Beyond would go through different directors, and eventually find itself without a script just months ahead of filming. It made for a tense situation, and that's explored in this episode. …

Vampires 1:47:28

Rain Man (1988) and Michael Flatley's Blackbird (2022) 57:10

1M ago57:10

57:10

The film Rain Man became a huge box office hit at the end if 1988, and an Oscar-winner in 1989. Yet here was a movie that went through the hands of at least three directors who didn't make it, including Steven Spielberg, who was attached for nearly half a year. But Barry Levinson did make the film - and he was able to take advantage of a situation …

Outbreak (1995) and Predestination (2014) 56:41

1M ago56:41

56:41

An article published back in 1992 would spark a bidding war in Hollywood. Nothing unusual there. That article would lead to Ridley Scott, Jodie Foster and Robert Redford signing up for a big, expensive movie - a movie that never got made. And it never got made because of 1995's Outbreak. Three movies meanwhile had failed to come together in a row f…

American Gangster (2007) and Piranha II: The Spawning (1982) 56:40

2M ago56:40

56:40

It's not uncommon for films to get through a director or two on their way to the screen. In this episode, that's certainly the case. American Gangster might have ended up on the slate of Ridley Scott, but he was the third or fourth name involved. At one stage, Universal was said to have spent $30m on the film in fact, with no hope of getting a sing…

The Flash (2023) and 24: The Movie (unmade so far) 1:05:57

2M ago1:05:57

1:05:57

Two films looooong in the making in this episode of Film Stories: one's been made at the time of recording, one hasn't. Talk first surfaced of The Flash movie back in the 1980s, but it wasn't until 2023 that a film was finally released. By then, an under-fire Warner Bros was hoping for great things from the film, and confidence appeared to be high:…

The Avengers (1998) and Step Brothers (2008) 56:15

2M ago56:15

56:15

Ah, The Avengers. The 1998 big screen adaptation of the much-loved TV series is a bit of an odd movie, but as Simon discusses in this episode, things weren't quite going to plan at studio level. Not that Warner Bros handled the film particularly well come release time - an infamously late decisiont to avoid a review screening soon backfired. In the…
