WHAT WENT WRONG

Check out this spoiler-free bonus review preview.

It's the movie we didn't know we needed (or existed!) and Chris and Lizzie are still grappling with how You Can See Everything made them feel. Did Nathan Fielder, master of narrative manipulation and manufactured awkwardness, meet his match in Elizabeth Holmes? How did Chris and Lizzie interpret the film's myriad mind-boggling moments? Should this be the first documentary nominated for Best Picture (and perhaps a few other categories)?

To be, or not to be... based on Hamlet? Join Chris and Lizzie as they brave the predator laden hunting grounds of Disney during the Animation Renaissance, try to unearth the true author of the studio's most successful film in decades, Katzenberg's crazy claims, Jeremy Irons' beef with the animators, who was nearly cast before James Earl Jones and Matthew Broderick's suspicion that the movie wasn't as original as it was being advertised.

*CORRECTIONS: Jonathan Taylor Thomas was not in 'The Indian in the Cupboard', Hal Scardino was.

Jane Austen’s first novel became Emma Thompson’s first screenplay, which eventually won her an Academy Award. But when producer Lindsay Doran first pitched ‘Sense and Sensibility’ no one understood her vision - including director Ang Lee. This week Chris and Lizzie venture into a comedy of errors behind the scenes where language barriers, broken hearts, blossoming romances, and some illegal activity on the Sunset Strip threatened to derail this classic film. Find out why Kate Winslet almost didn’t get cast, how Stephen Fry saved the script, and why Ang Lee discovered he had more in common with Jane Austen than he realized. Hosted on Acast.

This week, we revisit our interview with the one and only James McAvoy as Chris and Lizzie break down what went wrong - and very right - on his directorial debut, California Schemin’.

The film follows two young Scottish rappers who get laughed out of the music industry… until they start pretending to be American. It’s a true story of ambition, delusion, and the blurry line between reinvention and outright fraud.

Find out what drew McAvoy to the script, how he assembled the perfect cast, and what surprised him most about stepping behind the camera for the first time. Plus, discover the tricks he borrowed from some of the best directors he’s worked with (and which ones actually worked).

Check out California Schemin’ in theaters on October 9th!

Just two guys and we're having a good time! This week, Chris and Lizzie chain themselves to James Wan and Leigh Whannell's breakout horror hit, SAW. What began as a simple exercise to try to escape their tiny home country of Australia led to a franchise beyond either of their expectations and, perhaps, desires. From work VISAs to unpaid profits and Cary Elwes' self-discovery of latent claustrophobia, this terrifyingly crunched production proves that just because you don't make the movie you wanted, doesn't mean you can't make the movie the audience did.

*CORRECTIONS: Cary Elwes did reprise his role in Saw 3D (2010).
