Show Notes
In every TV show or movie, there's always a list of A-list characters. This episode is about the other guys — the B-list side characters who are there for comic relief or character motivation, and are good in small doses. Join Erik and Alex as we discuss that, like any drug, these B-listers can be dangerous in large amounts, and can lead to character overdoses.

It's our 50th episode! In this edition of The Cutting Room Floor, Alex and Erik reminisce about the podcast. Alex then discusses the gaping hole in logic in the trailer for Every Day, with the episode culminating in a discussion about the films we're looking forward to for the remainder of 2018.
Hollywood has, for better or worse, had a longstanding tradition of adapting everything under the sun into a film. We've seen books and plays adapted to the big screen and, as we've entered the modern era, seen the same treatment offered to graphic novels and comic books, too. We've even seen fringe items like toys successfully adapted with The LEGO Movie and Trolls. Nevertheless, there's been one genre that hasn't been able to rise above the fray: video games. While films about video games — think Wreck-it Ralph or Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle — have performed well, for whatever reason, adaptations of existing franchises simply have not been good or successful. In this episode, we take a look at some of the worst offenders.
Have you ever re-watched a movie, and noticed something that blew your mind? A subtle character trait that revealed a character was the killer in the first five minutes, or perhaps something in the background that gives away the twist ending? In this episode, we will be discussing movies that have hidden clues spread throughout them.
When you're a fan of something, you tend to be passionate about it — really passionate. This is particularly true for fandoms that are adapted to the screen, big or small. Whether it's a book, comic, video game, or something else, you want the adaptation to be good — and odds are, you probably have some strong opinions about how it should be done. Most of us will never get a chance to make our own big-budget movies, but — what if we did? Well, that's what we're going to look at right now…what if we got to make a movie?
There are a lot of awesome movie franchises out there — Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, James Bond — that have been around for a long time. We're not talking about those; we're talking about would-be franchises where a film was left wide-open for a sequel, and it completely tanked. No sequel for you, because your movie sucked!
