Summary

In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a pair of films executive produced by Steven Spielberg - albeit one a lot better than the other! Back To The Future Part II was up against big challenges, high expectations, an actor in dispute, a director editing it while making the next movie, and a whole lot more. With The Flintstones, hopes were high at Universal for another Jurassic Park-style hit. But over 30 writers couldn't nail the script... Stories of both are told in this episode.

0:00.0	Hello, this is Simon Brew.
0:01.7	I'm the editor of Film Stories magazine and a very warm welcome to the Film Stories podcast.

0:36.3	I'm here to talk off the stories of
0:37.9	films, so I tend to talk about development stories, production stories, behind the scene stories,
0:42.7	marketing stories, all the bits and bobs really that go to make the films that we know and
0:46.6	sometimes love, just that the films that we know and sometimes love. The films I tend to choose
0:52.0	this podcast, have a mainstream leading to them really.
0:54.3	There tend to be films I'm interested in or invested in to some degree. I don't really want to do
1:00.1	punchy down. I don't do snark. Instead, what the podcast is, if anything, is a celebration of just how
1:07.0	difficult it is to get a film made and the celebration bit kicks in by saluting the people
1:13.7	who've managed to do so. Rarely for me, this episode does have a mini theme to it in that it's a pair
1:19.7	of films both executive produced by Stephen Spielberg and a pair of films that, well, I think it's fair
