  • 'The Predator' [2018] - C.E. Garcia, Mike Cuevas, and Ben Gonzalez.
    May 2 2025

    This time, we set our sights on The Predator (2018), Shane Black’s much-anticipated reboot of the iconic sci-fi franchise which originated with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and quickly devolved into one of the most chaotic productions in recent history. From extensive reshoots and drastic third-act changes, to test screening disasters and last-minute studio interference, this troubled entry was plagued from the start. We'll unpack the film’s messy road to release, the controversies surrounding its casting, and how a promising return to the franchise ended up alienating both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

  • 'The 13th Warrior' [1999] - C.E. Garcia, Mike Cuevas and Ben Gonzalez, with Gabe "The Calilbo."
    Apr 18 2025

    For the first time we’re joined by a special guest: cohost of '90mins On Film' and 'Fairway Conversations,' Gabe "The Calilobo," who helps us as we journey into the chaotic production of 'The 13th Warrior,' starring Antonio Banderas — a film plagued by reshoots, a skyrocketing budget, and numerous creative clashes behind the scenes. From Michael Crichton's takeover, to a release date shuffle that pushed the film to "dump-month" of '99, this adaptation of 'Eaters of the Dead' was in serious trouble long before it ever reached audiences.

  • 'Cobra' [1986] - C.E. Garcia, Mike Cuevas, and Ben Gonzalez.
    Apr 4 2025

    "Crime is a disease, and so was this production...” In this epsiode, we put on our shades and sink our teeth into 'Cobra'—the 1986 Sylvester Stallone vanity project where the script got shorter, the muscles got bigger, and the behind-the-scenes chaos got deadlier than anything onscreen. From on-set ego wars to last-minute cuts and a director who got the nickname of ‘Comatose’, this one had it all. It made money, confused critics, and left a trail of bruised egos in its wake.
