Hello, and action.

Hello, dear listeners, and welcome back to What Went Wrong, a movie,

welcome back to What Went Wrong, a podcast that just so happens to be about movies and how incredibly difficult it is to make any movie, let alone a good movie, let alone a three-hour

long, incredibly epic biopic that I think kind of sets the mold for a lot of biopics to come after

it. I am your host, Lizzie Bassett, alongside as always, my lovely, lovely co-host, Chris Winterbauer.

And Chris, what are we talking about today?

We are discussing, Lizzie, 1992's Malcolm X.

And one of these days, you are going to get our intro right, and I'm looking forward to it.

It's not today.

It's your favorite podcast's full stop. That's what it is, looking forward to it. It's not today. Your favorite podcast, full stop.

That's what it is.

The people demand it.

No, we're discussing, as you mentioned, Spike Lee's three hour and 15 minute, basically, epic biographical picture covering almost the entire life of Malcolm Little, also known as Malcolm X.

Lizzie, had you seen Malcolm X before? And if not, what were your thoughts upon watching it?

I had seen at least half of it before. I think I had only seen the first half. And I had not seen

really like after he goes to prison forward, which was my... of it before. I think I had only seen the first half, and I had not seen really, like, after

he goes to prison forward, which was my favorite part of the movie upon watching it this time.

So you were just like, and he got his justice and you turned it off.

No. I can't remember why I only had seen half of it. I think, I don't know if it was like

in school and they just put on, you know, like the first half and they were like, oh, period's done, bye, because it's

three hours and 15 minutes long. But yeah, I'd never seen the whole thing. I really, really enjoyed it.

I thought it was great. You know, it is an intimidating watch at three hours and 15 minutes.
