Join us as we dive into the surprisingly turbulent journey behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.

We'll explore how Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg convinced Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon to take such a radical creative swing by focusing on the awkward yet hilarious experiences of being a teenager, and how what looked like a straightforward reboot turned into a complete reinvention of one of pop culture's most enduring franchises.

Grab a slice, avoid the ooze, and join us as we ask the question at the heart of every episode: was this film a production in trouble, or a masterclass in how to reinvent a franchise?

On this episode we hit the streets with Walter Hill’s neon-soaked cult classic 'The Warriors', a film that turned New York City into a dystopian comic-book like war zone. We'll dig into the film’s notoriously chaotic production, the real life gang activity surrounding the shoot, the studio's fears after its controversial release, and how a relatively small action movie has transformed into one of the most influential cult films of the last 48 years... Come out to play, suckas!! And try to survive as we attempt to bop our way back to Coney Island.

For this episode we dive headfirst into the chaotic production of Albert Pyun;s "Ticker," a film that somehow assembled a cast including Steven Seagal, Tom Sizemore, and Dennis Hopper, and still ended up feeling like it was stitched together in a rush job at 3 a.m. This straight-to-video action thriller became a perfect storm of clashing egos, questionable creative decisions, and a production that seemed to be making it up as it went along.

From baffling editing choices to performances that range from half-asleep to are they in the same movie” (because they actually aren't), we break down how it became a prime example of early-2000s action cinema gone wrong. Was there ever a solid movie buried under the chaos, or was this thing doomed from the moment the cameras started rolling? Tune in as we sift through the rubble of explosions, mismatched tones, and one of the strangest career entries in Seagal’s filmography.
