Luke, Westy and Matt give their creation life as we tell the story behind Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder's parody of the Universal monster movies, making one of the funniest films ever made in the process.

We get into why playing it dead straight is the secret, how Gene Hackman begged to play the blind hermit for free, John Morris's heart-breaking score, and the moving hump nobody saw coming. What hump? Big laughs and big opinions throughout on one of the great Hollywood production stories.

Telling the story of Hollywood, one film at a time.

The future is now — and John, Westy, and Matt are here to tell you exactly how Robert Zemeckis built it. We go deep on the production of one of the most ambitious sequels Hollywood attempted: hoverboards, self-lacing Nikes, and a plot that required filming the past, present, and future simultaneously. (Doc would be proud.)

From the decision to make Parts II and III back-to-back, to the technical wizardry behind Hill Valley 2015, to the extraordinary challenge of recasting a central role mid-franchise — this is the full behind-the-scenes story, with analysis and huge opinions as we go.

Two studios. Two directors. Two DPs. Four camera crews. And two movie stars who counted each other's lines. Luke, Westy and Matt tell the behind-the-scenes story of Irwin Allen's all-time disaster epic. The McQueen vs Newman billing war fought to the millimetre, William Holden outshining everyone in a burgundy dinner jacket, a John Williams score from just before he became a legend, and the dream that accidentally invented Die Hard.

A landmark film and one hell of a story. Hope the wiring's up to code.
