  • 'The Fugitive' [1993] - C.E. Garcia, Mike Cuevas, with Wackoe of '90mins On Film.'
    2025/10/17

    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.

  • 'The Punisher' [2004] - C.E. Garcia, Mike Cuevas, and Ben Gonzalez.
    2025/09/05

    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.

  • 'Street Fighter' [1995] - C.E. Garcia, Mike Cuevas, and Ben Gonzalez.
    2025/08/15

    “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.

  • 'Judge Dredd' [1995] - C.E. Garcia, Mike Cuevas, and Ben Gonzalez.
    2025/07/11

    "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.

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.

    2025/06/13

    "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.

    2025/05/16

    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 short-lived franchise legacy on television.
