'Judge Dredd' [1995] - C.E. Garcia, Mike Cuevas, and Ben Gonzalez.
"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.

'Alien Nation' [1988] - C.E. Garcia, Mike Cuevas, and Ben Gonzalez.
Travel with us back to 1988 as we examine Alien Nation, the high-concept sci-fi buddy cop film starring James Caan and Mandy Patinkin. Released during a boom of genre hybrids and high-stakes studio gambles, Alien Nation promised to be a bold allegory about race, immigration, and integration—but behind the scenes, it was plagued by rewrites, studio interference, and major third-act reshoots. In this episode we explore how director Graham Baker struggled to hold the project together, and how the original vision from screenwriter Rockne S. O’Bannon was reshaped in post, and how Alien Nation still managed to launch a a...

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

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.
"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.

"Last Action Hero"—the $85 million spectacle that critics called the beginning of the end of Hollywood's biggest action star's career, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Plagued by endless rewrites, studio interference, and a lead actor who called more shots than the director, the film became a symbol of excess. But is its reputation justified..? In this episode we talk about how this film is not only NOT as bad as the wrap that it's gotten the past 30 plus years, and not only was it ahead of its time, but it was a classic in the making.
