About this listen

Some of the most iconic movies of all time almost never made it to the screen. Studios passed, budgets collapsed, and actors dropped out—yet against the odds, these films became classics. In this episode, we dive into the wild behind-the-scenes stories of movies that nearly didn’t happen, like Back to the Future, which was rejected over 40 times, and Pulp Fiction, which struggled to find funding. From troubled productions to last-minute saves, we’re unpacking the Hollywood near-misses that changed cinema forever. Let’s get into it!
