Blade Runner - Part 1

WHAT WENT WRONG ·

2022/11/22

Carbon monoxide poisoning, an on set "T-shirt war" and a very, very grumpy Harrison Ford are but a few hurdles Ridley Scott and company ran into while making the 1982 sci-fi classic, Blade Runner. In part 1 of this two part episode, we'll investigate Rutger Hauer's sex appeal, the downsides of writing a script set entirely at night, and that one time Harrison Ford told Darryl Hannah to fish hook his nose just so he could feel something.

WHAT WENT WRONG ·

2022/11/08

2022/10/25

Huge egos, hurricanes, and black magic are but a few of the destructive forces that waylaid this notorious production.

Alien 3

WHAT WENT WRONG ·

2021/02/23

Despite debuting a director now considered one of the greatest of all time, everything went wrong on Alien 3. Brace for impact cause we got whippets dressed up in alien suits (look it up... worth it), sub-bass that made audiences leave the theater to use the toilet and bald caps painstakingly constructed (literally) one hair sprout at a time.
