    Top Gun (1986)
    Nov 9 2026
    ‘Top Gun’ may have dominated the box office in 1986, but behind the scenes the studio had lost that loving feeling. Join Chris and Lizzie to find out why Tom Cruise barfed on himself, how maverick director Tony Scott kept filming even after being fired, what changes the Navy made to the script, and which of Kelly McGillis’s scenes were added right before release. Plus discover why Val Kilmer literally ran away from his audition, and how his feelings about the franchise changed over the decades.

    Space Jam (1996)
    Nov 2 2026
    It's time to jam in space! Or maybe... under the Hollow Earth? Either way, Chris & Lizzie are leaping back to a simpler time, when Michael Jordan laid it all on the line to save the Looney Tunes and ignored his family for an unspecified amount of time! They'll explore Bill Murray's tenuous attachment to the project, Ivan Reitman and director Joe Pytka's tonal squabbles, the heroic efforts of the entire animation team, and the origins of some of the movie's best (and most true-to-life) jokes.

    The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
    Oct 26 2026
    ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ was a 1974 horror blockbuster that defined slasher tropes for decades… but thanks to shady business deals and alleged mob connections, its creators and stars saw almost none of the profits. This week Chris and Lizzie dive into the harrowing backstory of Tobe Hooper’s breakout film. Find out how many real bones were used on set, why the cast and crew had to run to the windows to vomit, and how one of the OG final girls went through a very real hell in Texas.
