Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Check out this spoiler-free bonus review preview.

To be, or not to be... based on Hamlet? Join Chris and Lizzie as they brave the predator laden hunting grounds of Disney during the Animation Renaissance, try to unearth the true author of the studio's most successful film in decades, Katzenberg's crazy claims, Jeremy Irons' beef with the animators, who was nearly cast before James Earl Jones and Matthew Broderick's suspicion that the movie wasn't as original as it was being advertised.

Jane Austen’s first novel became Emma Thompson’s first screenplay, which eventually won her an Academy Award. But when producer Lindsay Doran first pitched ‘Sense and Sensibility’ no one understood her vision - including director Ang Lee. This week Chris and Lizzie venture into a comedy of errors behind the scenes where language barriers, broken hearts, blossoming romances, and some illegal activity on the Sunset Strip threatened to derail this classic film. Find out why Kate Winslet almost didn’t get cast, how Stephen Fry saved the script, and why Ang Lee discovered he had more in common with Jane Austen than he realized. Hosted on Acast.

This week, we revisit our interview with the one and only James McAvoy as Chris and Lizzie break down what went wrong - and very right - on his directorial debut, California Schemin’.

Just two guys and we're having a good time! This week, Chris and Lizzie chain themselves to James Wan and Leigh Whannell's breakout horror hit, SAW. What began as a simple exercise to try to escape their tiny home country of Australia led to a franchise beyond either of their expectations and, perhaps, desires. From work VISAs to unpaid profits and Cary Elwes' self-discovery of latent claustrophobia, this terrifyingly crunched production proves that just because you don't make the movie you wanted, doesn't mean you can't make the movie the audience did.
