After years of delays, reshoots that never happened, a release date shuffle that felt like a game of musical chairs, and a premiere that hit theaters with a thud, 'The New Mutants' became the last nail in the 20th Century Fox / X-Men universe coffin. In this episode, we break down what worked, what never stood a chance, and why this troubled production became a fittingly chaotic farewell to the Fox mutant saga. From the genre-bending horror ambitions of the director, to the last minute studio shuffle thanks to a legendary Stephen King property, we discuss just what put these mutants in more trouble than they could ever get out of onscreen.

In this special episode we’re taking a break from our obsession with doomed productions and talking about a different kind of obsession: physical media... Joining us for this “collector’s confession session” is cohost of the BETAMAX podcast, Fidel Medina, where we cover everything from blind buys to our biggest splurges, and even the ones that make us cringe with regret... Have a listen as we crack open the vaults and talk about why we just can’t stop buying movies we already own in 3 different formats, as well as the highs & lows of collecting physical media.

Movies In Trouble returns! And we’re going on the run with Harrison Ford in 'The Fugitive,' the movie that made “I didn’t kill my wife!” a meme long before memes even existed. With Harrison Ford dodging trains, jumping off dams, and Tommy Lee Jones’ unstoppable one-liners, we will try to figure out how this TV remake got made and accidentally turned into a Best Picture nominee. And joining us for the chase is Wackoe (90mins On Film), because if we’re going to talk about chaos, we might as well invite the expert.

This week, we take aim at 2004's "The Punisher," a film loaded with budget cuts, script rewrites, and a popsicle interrogation scene that no one asked for. Join us as we dig into Thomas Jane’s Navy SEAL makeover, John Travolta’s primadonna pre-production antics and "phone-it-in" mob boss portrayal, and the messy production that left Marvel’s grim antihero with more melodrama than mayhem.

“Cocaine, Chaos, and Capcom!!” - In 1995, Capcom’s smash-hit video game made the leap to the big screen, and promptly punched itself in the face... With Jean-Claude Van Damme delivering some of his most unintentionally hilarious line readings ever, and Raul Julia turning in a gloriously over-the-top farewell performance, Street Fighter became a chaotic cocktail of corporate meddling, rushed shooting schedules, and script changes, resulting in a campy, bizarre action-comedy that’s remembered less for its martial arts, and more for the sheer fact it even exists.

"Welcome to Dredd Reckoning!" In this weeks episode we dive face-first into the chrome-plated chaos of 'Judge Dredd’ (1995), a movie that asked: “What if RoboCop had zero self-awareness, and took his helmet off every five minutes..?” With Stallone growling through poorly written (and delivered) one-liners, a director losing complete control, and Rob Schneider becoming the comic relief in a dystopian hellscape, this film was supposed to launch a franchise... but instead, crash-landed into a mess of rewrites, ego, and designer shoulder pads.

In this episode of 'Movies In Trouble,' we head to the concrete dystopian streets of Mega-CIty One for 'Dredd' [2012], the action-packed comic book adaptation starring Karl Urban. Directed by Pete Travis, and ghost-directed by screenwriter (and future Director) Alex Garland, we break down its '2000 AD' comic book origins, some of the film's behind the scenes trouble, its cult status, and why this adaption not only deserves justice, but a sequel as well.

"Zardoz," directed by John Boorman and starring Sean Connery, isn't a film for everyone, but it's definitely a film for our resident "Zardoz" expert! Listen as he takes the reigns on this latest episode, and struggles to keep it from spiraling completely out of control, as his cohorts struggle to keep control of their laughter, quips, and passing judgement on a film that is now considered way more than a cult classic.
