WHAT WENT WRONG podcast

WHAT WENT WRONG

What Went Wrong covers Hollywood’s most notoriously disastrous movie productions, digging into the behind-the-scenes insanity of everything from massive flops to record-breaking blockbusters. In each episode, hosts Lizzie Bassett and Chris Winterbauer dive into a new film to explore the mind-blowing (and sometimes numbing) reasons why making a movie is nearly impossible (especially a good one). Produced by David Boman. Subscribe on Apple Connect or [PATREON] (https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/9487827) for 'WWW' BONUS CONTENT! Hosted on Acast.
