Summary

In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, Disney's odd attempt to create a superhero, and a troubled X-Men movie. Condorman was a big gamble for Disney in the early 80s, as it tried to follow in the path of Superman. Things didn't go to plan. Nor did they with the third X-Men film, that lost a couple of directors, had to ink new deals with all its cast - and then faced a script leak. Stories of both are discussed in this episode.

0:38.8	about production stories, development stories, behind the scenes, bits and bobs, all those small
0:43.7	little things that go to make, the films that we know and love, just that, the films that we
0:48.4	know and love. Well, sometimes love. I've got a bit of an odd coupling for this episode after all. What I do in the podcast is I take
0:56.8	two films each week. I go into their stories. They tend to be fairly mainstream films,
1:02.5	or at least with a mainstream leaning. They also films I have some interest in. I try not to do
1:08.6	snark. I'm not, uh, if you like snark, that's fine. I'm not being snarky about people who are snarky. It's just I'm not to do snark. I'm not, if you like snark, that's fine.
1:11.6	I'm not being snarky about people who are snarky.
1:13.9	It's just I'm not very good at it really.
