Summary
Huge egos, hurricanes, and black magic are but a few of the destructive forces that waylaid this notorious production. This week Chris & Lizzie look into why a director shouldn’t sneak back onto set once they’ve been fired, Marlon Brando’s firm stance against ever reading scripts, and Val Kilmer’s method approach to playing an *sshole.
CORRECTIONS:
*This episode was originally pulled following allegations of sexual assault against director Richard Stanley.
*Chris uses the word "Aboriginals" to describe Indigenous Australians, an outdated and derogatory term.
