0:00.4	Hello and welcome to an encore episode of your favorite podcast that just so happens to be
0:06.1	about movies and how it's nearly impossible to make one and how it's a miracle that any of them
0:10.5	turn out any good at all. But before we get to our wonderful, wonderful episode today,
0:16.0	we'd like to make a quick announcement. Next season, we're going to be launching mini-sodes on a
0:21.0	bi-weekly basis and the content of those mini-sodes is going to come from you, our lovely audience.
0:26.2	That's right. This is your opportunity to share horror stories, funny stories, hopefully not

1:20.8	piloting our favorite episodes from the last few seasons of what went wrong. And today,
1:24.9	we've got a doozy for you and one that is currently relevant because you may have noticed in the
1:29.3	news, Kevin Costner's going through a pretty public and unpleasant looking divorce. It doesn't look
1:34.5	great. Feel bad for everybody involved. If you want to hear a little bit more about that,
1:37.6	by the way, we have a little Patreon episode about what's going on currently in Mr. Costner's life,
1:42.3	including his abrupt exit from Yellowstone. It's all tied together. But here's the thing.
1:48.1	This is not Kevin Costner's first public divorce that has led to some questionable filmmaking
